Yepp, unless WebM is govenred by ISO/IEC or IEEE or any other similar organization I don't want it.
Seriously? The ISO (I sold out) organisation that Microsoft bribed to push their standard through. Who gives a shit about them? Let me guess, Microsoft employee or partner employee?
validates patents? Patents are already valid in law. I don't really understand your position because what you're saying is that we should ignore the law where valid. You could make a similar claim about being against GPL because it validates copyright. It's a silly position to take that puts you outside reality.
people who p2p fileshare. (Services like Skype and VOIP solve issue of NAT by having peer clients send comms via a intermediate node server)
and how does the intermediate node server work if it's also under NAT?
People who run webservers. I know hardly anyone who does this from their bedroom these days. Thanks to VPS, Amazon/Rackspace etc. Cost is next to nothing
Awesome, so only the big boys get to play on the internet. That's not a horrible monopoly or anything..
I love how decades later and faced with now total exhaustion people on slashdot are still claiming this isn't a problem. Cue the "we can simply use NAT" posts.
It took them that long to make the development tools AND half life 2. They didn't just make a game, they made a whole production line of development tools as well as a new game engine to go with it.
Left 4 dead 2 used the left for dead code base with some new features and maps.
The author originally released it as open source under the GPL but then withdrew the link from his site when he realised how much attention it was getting. Some people have released the original GPL copy on github for others to use and distribute.
As with most things it comes down to cost, also the fact that according to the article this thing was built in the 1970s which probably makes some of what you're talking about unfeasible at the time.
When that happens, a bunch of nuclear power plants *will* go up, in the Fukushima "spent fuel pool" manner.
That's because of poor reactor design rather then anything else. I am not an expert however I wonder if japan would be facing such a crisis if a completely different design of reactors were in operation. One's which didn't depend upon fuel rods that need to be constantly cooled. A reactor that could be shut down and started up again within minutes/hours rather then days.
It's also worth noting that the reactor that is having problems was built in the 1970s.
As an engineer I would LOVE requirements from my user. What I get however is requirements that the manager in charge of the project that hired us wants with little to zero feedback from the people using the product; and because "the customer is always right" it is always my fault when the users complain that the site was designed to spec.
Haven't got any exact details but it happened on two different versions of netbeans that I downloaded for linux on their site. Maybe someone else will read this and confirm it.
First problem I had was that when I saved it would jumble the contents of the file.
A file such as..
test text mex
would become
test text mex text mex
The other version I tried didn't have this problem but would completely delete the file.
After that I stopped bothering with NetBeans because it almost removed all the code I was working on all day. I'm not saying don't use NetBeans but buyer buyer beware.
It's not evil it's just a shitty business decision. Evil is installing rootkits on your computer, removing features from the console and suing your customers. Also, no one is making you pay for anything! Simply don't buy an xbox is you don't like the prices.
NetBeans eats your code on linux. Two different versions of netbeans completely ruined my code on many different occasions when saving. After that I never use it anymore.
The brackets in c++ have a specific purpose and aren't redundant. They define "scope". Making them only for if and while statements means that you wouldn't be able to define scope.
Have to disagree with you there. When I run two or more java apps at the same time then they all crawl. A typical usage might be something like playing Minecraft while running Vuze in the background.
When running one java application at a time I agree, it's as fast as any other program but I think it's unrealistic to say it does in real life practical situations where you have more then one app running in java. You can visually see the slow down.
So what's the best solution for notification bubbles?
It's easy to karma whore and say people should be "working together" but it seems like you're just ignoring the fact that software is difficult to produce and not everyone agrees what the best solution for problem X even is.
No one is disputing that UI improvements and marketing are not important but those are the things that Canonical has not contributed back. To say they have "contributed" in that regard to the community is not true in the slightest.
All I can say to this is "welcome to slashdot". Seriously, it has ALWAYS been like this for almost a decade.
Problem is you have employees and partners from Microsoft, Apple, etc that are regulars of this site. They all have their own vested interests hence why the discussion gets ridiculous fast. IMO the people that work for MS, Apple, Google etc should have to publicly state their connections. Not privately astroturf as AC on slashdot.
You should really try to admin both an Ubuntu (or Debian since they just rip off the packages) and RedHat box before spouting out nonsense.
Quick simple test, observe how all the config files for apache are nicely presented and split by module making it easy to edit where as RedHat just stick them anywhere. That's just one example, but don't take my word for it. Try both for a reasonable period of time then have some self reflection.

You're using that word "we" but really it's only you. Like another user said, GTFO already.

I'm confused, are you talking about Bradley Manning or the Chinese?

OSX has had full support of IPv6 for a long time as well as in it's airport router too.

The source code was already released. https://github.com/zk00006/OpenTLD

That's exactly how it works. You get all the information from people you don't know on the internet. It's money verification via an anonymous mob.

You're the first person I've seen so far even mention it.. I guess I arrived late and all the comments were buried.
You're wrong there because my first computer came with Windows ME.
