It's still a good thing. 64 bit means much more than just increased address space, at least on x86_64. More registers might increase speed for example.
In particular if they want a DFSG compliant system or not. Some "free" packages such as gcc-doc for example are in non-free because their license do not qualify for DFSG compliance.
Uproar against FRA? No, they have been around since the 40's and there was no uproar at that point. What happened recently was that they got approval to not only listen in on wireless radio communications but also wired communications, *that* was what the uproar was about.
It depends on if he knew about it. If he did then he's obviosly responsible. If he didn't then that's of course also bad. Either way is not good for him.
That's pretty impressive engineering. Think it allows Android to be installed on it?:)
The hardware could most likely run it, but since Apple locks the boot loader and prevents the user from changing the operating system this will not be possible. It is highly unfortunate that we don't have legislation that prevents this abusive behavior.
Gtk used to stand for the gimp toolkit, but more and more it's the gnome toolkit. I wouldn't be surprised to see it merged into the gnome framework entirely at and future date. Even the mailing list is now renamed to gnome-list.
That's why a lot of projects don't use Make directly. You typically use a combination of programs like autoconf, automake and libtool to generate the makefiles for you. In the end you get a shell script that you can send to users and they don't need to have the tools you used installed.
From http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/: "In addition to Scheme, Guile includes compiler front-ends for ECMAScript and Emacs Lisp (support for Lua is underway),..."
So unless that page is inaccurate I guess that means it's still underway.

IBM supports Linux on their Power based systems, and I don't think they have any plans to stop that.
It could very well be. I just tried it on one of my desktops. Gnome 3.8 worked really nice on it and even had accelerated 3D graphics.
$ file -L /usr/bin/firefox
/usr/bin/firefox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, BuildID[sha1]=0x351721d7eba5940fb79872c01865bfcf86eda51d, stripped
Looks 64-bit to me.

IE6 is at least supported. Debian might still support 3.5 but I don't know of anyone that actively supports 2.0 anymore.
Technically he is a traitor, but that doesn't of course mean that what he did was wrong.
Well, Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. So one could argue that they can use the work done by Canonical but won't have to pay for it.

What do you mean by Iceweasel? That name change came because Mozilla actively asked Debian to do it, so they did.

There's a lot of other operating systems to chose from. Linux, various *BSDs or even Windows.
Probably never.

They will just make it up in volume.
Well, you could just take any just about any workstation and put Solaris on it.

They did? I still receive email to gtk-list.
Apple employs a lot of people in Cork, Ireland. They might slow down their presence in Ireland if it doesn't benefit them anymore.
And both Safari and Internet Explorer has supported TLS 1.2 for a long time.
It's not the new name. It's the name of a farily popular fork. OpenOffice is still active and ongoing under Apache.
Indeed. Apple's Cocoa libraries on the other hand. The language is open.
Indeed, this is more important. Stop screwing up the ThinkPad lineup first.

I see a lot of words but not a lot of arguments. State your position on _why_ you should not use it as an extension language.
