There's a third angle to look at it from: those are simply the bugs fixed in.12, which does not say anything about how many are remaining, and also not that they "didn't do much for.11"... you skimmed to quickly and that's all:)
"the article's whole point is that OSS has done little besides copy the work of closed-source innovators, with GNU/Linux copying Unix being the chief example!"
Can't you read? The poster pointed out that
"The original versions shipped with source code."
You completely ignore that, then go off an irrelevant tangent, and yet you're at +5 and the post you replied to is at +3...:/
Word. I worked in a hospital as a helper, and I often got the impression that people hardly ever really allow someone dying to even say goodbye in any meaningful way (don't mention letting them die before the doctors run out of things to stick into them, that's just taboo), and THAT is walmart family. The nurses seemed more involved in the grief of patients and family, like some sort of buffer... but then again we don't practice taking life and death seriously, do we. We'd rather espouse platitudes that are worthless and even insulting.
Yep.. same here in regards to my hand rolled CMS. Okay, it's still very basic, yet it does have a neat feature or two... but all the work it would take to make it really user-friendly... gah... I'd rather keep the ability to hardcode stuff etc., at least for now. I keep saying to myself I might start over from scratch one day and implement all the features my ugly hack has in an elegant way, but I think everybody does..
from the article:
"They can put booby-traps in their Web forums," Chen explains, "and the spider can bring back viruses to our machines."
This sounds like total BS!
I also work across multiple machines, which was much more hassle-free with gmail than thunderbird.
IMAP?
What about starting to type several emails at once, shut down the email client, open it up again, send the emails? Okay, maybe gmail has something like that too (if not it will someday), but not even the fast google servers refresh as fast as a window on a local computer can. Select three emails, and you see all 3 of them not even a milisecond later. Opening several mails/mailboxes/address books at once...
I'd never go back. I don't see why I would, IMAP and clients make way more sense to me than using HTML to draw a GUI, that's just silly! Flash or a Java applet on the other hand...
Wouldn't it require a media player that knows about this heading or trailing garbage in the file in order to be able to play it? MP3 as such doesn't support stuff like that
Nope, players do not need to parse all id3 tags, they can just ignore what they don't understand. Anything else would be insane, anyway.
Even if what you say is true that just buys us some time (a very small amount of it).
I hope I don't have to explain that you can't take a small part of the image from a camera and 'enhance' it to get facial features, etc. If the camera doesn't have a high enough resolution to start with, you can't make the picture much better than it is normally.
No, actually you DO have to explain that... otherwise I'd say it's just plain incorrect.
The issue in question is proving wether you are a human, and this can easily be accomplished by asking a question (which can be read by a screen reader). This is implemented on some forums I've seen btw.
2. Someone else (b) responds "anonymously" to that.
3. (b) gets attacked for posting anonymously, with a text that is as long as both the posts of (a) and (b) combined, but still manages to ignore the fact that (a) posted anonymously also (so jumping on (b) is silly) AND the original suggestion and the content of the replies of (a) and (b) in relation to that. In short, spam.
So what you're actually saying is that nothing is an alternative to Windows for Joe and Jane Average Computer user, not just Linux.
Which makes me wonder: how did people start using Windows? Weren't they too used to not using Windows to "relearn"? How did people learn to use cellphones, or to use number pads instead of dials before that?
People don't stick with what they know, they stick with what everyone else uses and/or tells them to use. There is a difference.
I don't think starting from the bottom is a bad thing. It forces a player to learn to use all the aspects of a character than that just powering through with high-level abilities.
Hmm? Starting out high level and progressing from there doesn't mean that the difficulty must be affected by that ("powering through" assumes you leave the rest of the game as is.. LOL?), it just means you have more complexity and choices right from the start.

"by the average user?"
that's besides the point. "Creative", not "creative AND popular"

Uh oh.
I was referring to the definition of hacker being someone who tinkers around with stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_definition_con troversy
... wouldn't decline in genetic diversity be more or less what is expected anyway?
Actually your only hope is to not wait for idols and leaders and organize.
1. Well, duh. 2. Unless you have more than one frame.
At first I read that as "Badness".. and it kinda freaks me out that I was not surprised at all :/
Don't put your faith in Peak Oil solving our CO2 problem. Yeah... war over over resources equals lots of fire and smoke.
That's just cold bullshit.

How about "thing that's defined on the left, definition on the right"?
But yes, "Open is Closed" makes sense, too, in other contexts... "the GPL is a cancer" etc.
1. Someone (a) posts "anonymously".
:/
2. Someone else (b) responds "anonymously" to that.
3. (b) gets attacked for posting anonymously, with a text that is as long as both the posts of (a) and (b) combined, but still manages to ignore the fact that (a) posted anonymously also (so jumping on (b) is silly) AND the original suggestion and the content of the replies of (a) and (b) in relation to that. In short, spam.
4. More spam???
5. Profit.

Uhm, that's kind of the point of the post you're replied to..?
