BASH 4.0 Released

· Score: 1
I also found the vi mode in zsh to be inferior to the equivalent in bash last time I tried it, but maybe it's improved since then.
That's because Emacs's bindings are far more logical than Vi's, especially when running on FreeBSD instead of Linux. Oh, and indent with spaces.
Did I miss anything?
You forgot to mention how the new Bash works better on KDE 4.2 than on GNOME or KDE3.5.
You realize posters don't moderate their own posts, right? The fact that it was moderated informative by someone doesn't mean the poster wasn't trying to be funny.
Webkit is a rendering engine, not a browser. All the "chrome" you see around the web pages? That's the browser.
The ONLY point of a rendering engine is to render pages and to do so correctly. Therefore, complying with standards (the only way to determine if a page is rendered correctly) should be their focus.
Another 30% will say "don't bother, because the kids will just go around your blockages."(thinking that all school kids are as adept as the ubergeeks here are)
Not all school kids. All it takes is one--or one with an older sibling "adept as the ubergeeks here"
I dare say most illegal immigrants didn't immigrate illegally because they get a rush from going something outside the law. They did it because of the possibility that most of them would ever be allowed to immigrate legally under the current system is vanishingly small.
They have a sales tax, right? They're just extending it to non-tangible goods. How is downloaded music any different from buying a CD, in regards to taxes? Why shouldn't it be taxed?
That's some world-class begging the question right there.
I also am for a tech union/guild, whatever you want to call it. Force all these so called "American" companies to bring the support, coding, R&D back the the US!
You somehow think forming a union is going to force companies to keep jobs/bring jobs back to the country? It's far more likely it would push them to out-sourcing even more jobs to get around the unionization.
Bars, restaurants, dentist offices, etc all get surcharged for playing music in Canada at their workplaces (as music is seen to add value to their business). The same argument can apply to ISPs who have more demand/usage by people looking to listen and become exposed to music.
You're saying that charging a business that's playing music for playing that music is essentially the same as charging ISPs because their pipes might be used to download music?
Should the electric company then be charged because their electricity might be used to run a device that will play music?
Do we charge computer manufacturers next? Their computers might be used to play music, which adds value to their product.
Universities are losing students by making pointless requirements that have nothing to do with the field the students are studying,\
If universities were trade schools, maybe you would be correct. Unfortunately for you, universities are meant to turn out well-rounded individuals with a wide array of knowledge. (How well that works out is another question entirely, especially with so many majors that the only real requirement is that you have a pulse.)
In engineering especially, they're requirements are just "a bare minimum you need to know in order to get a job in the field." A big part of being an engineer is being able to learn practically anything you need to get your job done, whatever your field. As a software engineer, they may teach you Java, but if your job calls for Python, you will/should be prepared to sit down, read a book, and be as knowledgeable about your new language as your old.
If you just want to know precisely what you'll need to get and do a job, a VoTech would probably be more to your liking.

an online system for mail with no local cache might be a really bad idea.
Yes, if only there were some way to cache GMail locally.

Is Internet access in and of itself perflectly legal?
Sure.
But what percentage of Internet traffic do you think is non-infringing?
And what percentage of Internet users have never used it for any infringing purpose?

Or you could allow the immigrants to immigrate legally and have them pay taxes.
Presto! Your problem is solved.

I think bit-torrenting millions of copies of Linus sounds like a good method of protest.
First they map the genome, now we pass around clones of people on the Internet. It's amazing how far technology has come.
The format is open in that it is published, but it is patent encumbered.
You have very different definition of open than most people.
that makes exactly as little sense than the American film ratings board
Fixed that for ya.

Good thing only two people ever run for a particular office at a time.
Cheap and 'pretty good enough' beats out better and more expensive almost every time.
You're talking about people who are buying Macs over PCs. It's pretty obvious they don't think that way.
