Err.. You do realize the difference between a website and an operating system... right? You're free to use whatever search engine you want.. and google can say whatever they want. Most users don't have an operating system choice.
There have already been (won) anti-trust lawsuits against Microsoft for this exact behavior.
Except those apps didn't have complex dependencies like today's apps. Linux (and other ported) apps expect a large number of dependencies to be filled.
"ITS NEVER ENOUGH, MOAR!" -- Walt Disney (company)
Having to insert some non-caps since slashdot likes to filter too many caps because you're yelling. Walt Disney is definitely yelling... just saying.
Well, if you're that upset, go and create your own content, than you can do whatever with it you like.
I actually do... Everything I do is Open Source MIT license:-)
It's up to the creators to decide how they want to provide/sell it, not up to you.
I actually agree wholeheartedly. However, most revolutionary works these days get sucked up by corporations and owned "indefinitely". Walt Disney died in 1966 and the Disney company is still sucking on his teet 52 years later... how is that "compensating the creator?"
You do realize that copyright law originally didn't exist indefinitely.. right? Blame the Disney's of the world for drawing it out indefinitely. The original copyright terms covered the author long enough to gain a decent living for his lifetime (and the lifetime of his family)

So many derivative works stand on the shoulders of the works that came before. Now as a culture, we are essentially locked into an endless cycle of large corporations sucking up ideas and "owning" them indefinitely.
Except copying is not theft. The car analogy is stupid and worn out.... Especially for vintage works.
You're saying if I buy a junk car and make it look like a Studebaker I now owe Studebaker the cost a new Studebaker?
I'm frustrated that an entire generation of programmers seem to turn to Python for *EVERY* task. It drives me nuts. Python is a scripting language... stop trying to write applications in it that do *really* complex or large scale things.
I'm starting to step over so much poorly written python code in my career in places it doesn't belong.
We have so many great compiled languages now for big data or complex tasks such as golang and Rust... use the right tool for the job dammit.
Get off my lawn.
It's written in C:

Google hired a bunch of former BeOS developers to work on it. (It's something new though, not related to BeOS)
The only good ICO's are the ones that give a fixed group of people coins as an initial air-drop to bootstrap the ecosystem.
Hold onto those "free" coins until they have value and the coin is tested for reliability.
Once you feel comfortable with it a year or two later, then you can begin investing.
Did this for Decred... no regrets.
Not surprised. This is what happens when you let monopolies grow unregulated. Comcast is the new Ma-Bell. We need to demand congress break up the cable giant.
The radeon_hd work is mostly to provide reliable mode-setting and to enable the full range of resolutions on Radeon HD cards. There is talk of hardware rendering, howevever we need a pipeline to connect Mesa / Gallium to the card. DRM is very Linux centric. In a lot of ways our driver is cleaner than the Linux one, i've been careful to refacter quite a bit of messy code as I went.
We're actually working with the Linux radeon developers to point out issues in the Linux kernel driver. Everyone wins.
Heh. I can relate here. Back when I was young and poor I donated a *lot* (back then for me at least) to Gnome.
Today I am *MUCH* better off financially than I was then... however since Gnome 3 came out I've cut all donations.
I want to try to like Gnome 3... but they make *WAY* too many odd design choices anymore for me to care. The issue isn't them wanting to be different and new, the issue is making design choices that don't make any sense.
Every person I see running gnome is running some kind of dock to get get their open application list back. (go ahead, search for Gnome 3 screenshots on Google+, all of them include some dock). People don't have trouble focusing on a single application to the degree that they need everything else hidden from sight... it's a silly concept.
Don't even get me started on needing to hold ctrl to use the delete key in the file manager, the removal of middle mouse button copy/paste, the stupid huge title bars, sticking buttons in title bars, and Gnome's odd obsession with not being able to minimize anything.
I personally hope the current Gnome dies as an organization and more sane heads prevale and fork.
Lovely. This is like car manufacturers charging people to repair recalls. Forcing your customers to pay to fix your shitty product is pretty underhanded.
Screw Oracle, screw IBM, screw Cisco, and screw HP.
I love OpenBSD, a *lot* of good has come out of it. (hello, ssh?) I used to run OpenBSD religiously for firewalls. However the 20,000 USD for electricity bit sounds fishy. If it really does cost that much, drop the old platforms that may have 1-3 vocal users. Drop hppa, drop vax, drop old pizza box sparc's, drop alpha. Those platforms were neat back in the day, but now there is no useful point. (they really can't even keep up with modern 100MB/s, 1GBps traffice, I tried vintage hardware plus OpenBSD a few years ago) This sounds less like Theo wanting to keep the project alive and more about him wanting to keep a huge inventory of crappy systems to play Admin with (holding OpenBSD hostage)
Let it die, and from the ashes maybe a newer, leaner OpenBSD will fork.
I've seen quite a few Ben Heck videos, never been too impressed. It seems like a lot of what he does is using 3d printers and CNC machines, then throwing electronics into the resulting cases (not something most people can do yet due to the cost of 3d printers and CNC machines). For example, when he joined a bunch of game consoles, it seemed like more of a hack than a electronics project.
I've installed OpenStack 4-5 times now without any success. I installed this new RedHat pre-built OpenStack in a few hours with no trouble!
Used CentOS 6.3, worked like a champ.
Kernel developers have found and bisected the kernel issue...
They split it in half? I suspect you mean disected.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *WOW*
You should avoid making technical comments when you're not very technical.
bisecting means git is able to track down bugs by taking known working and non-working points in a source code tree and narrow down the broken revision by working from two directions to the common fault.

"Very dangerous when companies like Twitter regulate their own content"
I agree, and enabling the FCC to allow ISP's regulate their own content is ok?

I wholeheartedly approve of this comment. Fnord.
