This actually happens to most standards organization.
I have been to a couple of ISO meetings, and you can clearly see that big companies with a lot of money think their solutions are the best, they're the important ones with a say in everything and everyone should use their approach, even though their understanding of the standard at hand is very limited and their approaches just plain suck. They just have more money, meaning more resources and more people to put on standardization work.
If you sell your car before it is too old, you can recoup a significant portion of the money. A car more than six years old would be difficult to sell for a good price.
It's funny how great inventions were invented by chance. If the supposedly "great" inventors would re-do it today, they'd do it wrong and ruin it. We attach too much credit to the people. It is the situation which led to the invention.
First, when you say European cars, it usually refers to continental Europe, not the UK. Second, British cars do not have pedals reversed. Third, most cars in Europe (including the UK) are manual, meaning the left pedal is the clutch. The brake is in the middle.
Yet you're the only one who didn't get it. This is slashdot. You should expect that comments moderated funny contain a funny reference to some nerdy stuff.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S. People often ask me why I don't purchase a newer one (like the S2, S3, or maybe S4). The reason is simple: there is nothing new in those phones. They can all run the same software, and the hardware capabilities are not that important for a smartphone, it's not a production device.
I don't understand why people buy newer smartphones every year, but they do. People don't follow logic. So for the same reason people might still buy new laptops or whatever.
From my experience and testing, Debian is the distribution that behaves best in a virtualized environment. For some reason it offers better performance than the others, which might be because it is better configured out of the box.
The right approach to software development is to do one thing and do that thing well. Qt is becoming more and more bloated and duplicates a lot of other better and more specialized tools. It's shaping up to be a framework for everything, almost a variant of the programming language. And Qt still doesn't even use C++03 correctly, why do you expect it to make good use of C++11 or future standards?
What worries me is this crazy american political correctness. Think of the children! We mustn't say bad words! Instead we'll say them, but with a letter missing. This is the stupidest thing ever devised.

I move around a lot of copyrighted material.
This is allowed by fair use of course.
You definitely shouldn't see it!
We, the British government, will protect you from this bane.

How many people keep a car for more than 6 years?
It's big, isn't that obvious?
Old nuclear power plants only produce a few MW.
Not if by node you mean NUMA node.

It's not a software problem, it's a legal one.

The PS Vita has a lot of good games, assuming you like japanese games.

You didn't get the joke.
X11 is the X window system.
You should store your music collection on a real hdd, not on a smartphone...
A music album is 30MB. 1GB still allows more than 30 albums.
That's enough for listening to music on the go.
It still isn't small.
My phone only has 1GB of data for such media files, and I can still store lots of thing in it.
From my experience and testing, Debian is the distribution that behaves best in a virtualized environment. For some reason it offers better performance than the others, which might be because it is better configured out of the box.
I find it funny that some people would find 16GB of storage to be small.

What I'm against is doing things that are clearly useless and that fail on everything they were trying to achieve.
You do realize that doing this took time and energy, both of which are valuable and were wasted. Just like you're wasting my time now.

This still doesn't fix the biggest problem with android games: lack of a proper controller.
