    If the domain is so good why does it redirect to a live.com domain ?

  3. Lightning - I need it to help my OCD on Mozilla Downshifting Development of Thunderbird E-Mail Client · · Score: 1

    Was there any mention if their efforts to maintain lightning would lighten ? I have an obsessive compulsive need*** to put all actives I plan on doing in a calendar and would [have in the past] literally start writing on my arm in waterproof ink if my Google Calendars can't be accessed from Thunderbird. I also have an obsessive compulsive need to have the same look and feel between apps and as a result struggle with Gmail and Gcal in the browser. And yes I had to stop to alter my daily agenda to allow extra time in my morning web surfing activities to post this message. ***I frequently dream about what activities I plan on doing the next day, down to extreme detail, down to when I think I will take toilet breaks. This leads to frequent cases of Deja Vu as I am compelled to carry out those activities are planned.

  4. Re:So why the push for Unity? on Canonical Puts Ubuntu On Android Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Because in due course we'll have Unity across all of these form factors. For now, however, Android is better on the phone UI than Unity, and so we're making it possible for people to start converging on the phone today with Android rather than waiting months for the Ubuntu phone UI itself.

    You speak in the first person, are you involved with this project ?

  6. Re:Well on Microsoft Details Windows 8 for ARM · · Score: 1

    10 year transition at a minimum. A few examples: Office 2010 has and extended support until 2020. SQL 2012 will have extended support until 2022 (and uses win32 traditional desktop based GUI tools for management, maintenance and development). This means keeping Windows 8 around for a long time OR Windows 9 and possibly Windows 10 having to support the traditional Windows desktop.

  11. Stealing what, the interwebs ? on MPAA Dismisses COICA Free Speech Concerns · · Score: 1

    Okay, so what does the MPAA think is being stolen ? Where I come from stealing and theft requires the taking of property without the owners permission. Copyright infringements and counterfeits have never been a kind of theft.

  12. Only GPL'd if you use GPL'd code on WordPress Creator GPL Says WP Template Must Be GPL'd · · Score: 1

    An addon/plugin/extension/theme will only inherit the GPL if it in any way uses GPL code. If you write some code that uses a published API [document or by observing executing code] and do not view the source code that provides the interface and therefore do not copy ANY GPL'd code how can your code inherit the GPL licence ?
