  1. First I would have to teach you how distributed SCM works, which is clearly beyond the scope of a Slashdot post. I'll try to summarize. If I fake clone Linus' tree (references only), then his tree subsequently becomes unavailable, then I am dead in the water, as is everyone using my repo as their upstream. That's the opposite of distributed. Sorry for making you look so stupid so quickly. Off you go now ...

  2. You have confused the words "optimize" and "break". The former supports while the latter doesn't.

  3. First of all this isn't about "inappropriate places", it is about a gathering of like minded people. You are thinking of funerals. Second of all I have no doubt you don't realize this but women are actually attracted to men too. It isn't the one way street you experience daily for many of us.

    I suppose you could call Trump' s own words and actions propoganda, but it was only semi-official until January of this year.

    I didn't demand research be done. The other idiot wanted me to give him the answers to the test and I told him I wasn't going to play his little game. Do try to keep up. And you might want to learn about information theory before talking about it. This has nothing to do with it.

    You have that bass ackwards. In the case of well known, thoroughly documented, and literally indisputable fact being advanced weasels like you try to win the argument by claiming that it is my responsibility to do your homework and then shout "I knew you didn't know the answer! " in hopes that they might save face.

    Yes, what a great world it would be if being drunk was a prerequisite to meeting and interacting with romantic interests. What could possibly go wrong? How young, inexperienced, and unread must one be not to know that couples meet under all manner of circumstance?

    Perhaps that is your experience, but I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that it is probably more common that they are abducted from their parents, or run away at a young age and are subsequently exploited.

    No, it isn't generally fine. You can't have a distributed SCM and break the distributed part. Microsoft literally breaks git. I am guessing the half that was accepted upstream was the part that doesn't, and the half that does break it will never be accepted. Make no mistake about it their approach breaks git by design, intentional or otherwise.

    If you can't find the information there you are too stupid to understand it anyway. Just as there is no question that Trump is a degenerate sociopath who takes advantage of the weak and ignorant, so to is it well proven throughout the years that Microsoft is the corporate equivalent.

    Newsflash... This is how Open Source works. Debian, Fedora, thousands of other Linux distributions, and The various hardware from routers to phones use different versions. That's how it works. That's how it is supposed to work. Heterogeneity is a plus, not a weakness.

    There are no git performance issues. There are Windows performance issues. In typical Microsoft fashion they aren't going to make their product better, but rather try to get others to behave differently so that they don't have to fix their garbage.

    So Microsoft hasn't changed because they will stop at nothing to make more money any way they can, regardless of it's impact on society or computing? Microsoft hasn't changed. Windows 10 proves that they will get away with whatever they can and leverage ignorance to line their pockets at every opportunity.

    You seem to think accurate reporting is "bias" if it rightly reports truths you dislike. All scientists also are very biased by your definition of bias.

    That isn't even *close* to the reason Chump is the "president". A major factor, however, *is* that there are a far too large number of people (but still a minority that thankfully continues to shrink) in the U.S. who *believe* his bullshit when he spouts such ridiculous rhetoric. See also the electoral college.

    Maybe he isn't an idiot and wants to make sure he has time to handle any unanticipated issues. Migrating your working environment isn't just installing Linux, which can be done in an hour or three. A complete backup of the system needs to be done, and you need time to verify all the data has been restored and you can still do all the things you need to get done. Then, unlike with Windows, you have the ability to customize and tweak to your hearts content.
