I almost never see the score on/. thanks to the new system, but +2 is a bit much indeed. I confused mass and weight, so my comment deserves at most 0 points.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I also suspect that members of this sect will cry foul when for instance some of their GPL'd code is found to be plagierized and used in another program.
The fact that this article has only 120 comments 3.5 hours after it was posted suggests to me that Linux is not as popular anymore as it was 10 or 15 years ago. Every Linux-related article on/. would be flooded with comments back then. Am I right or is that a perception by me, and if so, why?
How many new C=64s have we seen already? How many are there still to come?

On the other hand, if you break the iPad in two you have some pretty sharp glass edges that you can use to cut arteries with. Maybe you need both against the crook.

I'd rather have an Osborne to whack some crook over the head with in a dark side-street than throw an iPad at him. I think the message will come over better if you use the Osborne.
Yes I still think it's weird that you have to use what in the 1980s and maybe even early 1990s was considered a supercomputer just to run a word processor. Imagine what your modern laptop can do if programmed in machine language by competent people, like the home computers of the 1980s were!
I know those decades. They're the same as the year that Linux is away from the desktop. I guess this basic life form has been a decade away since the 1950s.
Their engineers may be treated relatively well, but I bet they don't earn nearly as much as the managers do. They most probably have less secondary benefits as well.
I bought the Kindle version of a book lately for 2$ more than the paperback version, and it turned out that all the illustrations were left out! Amazon didn't say that on the website. I wonder if I will ever buy an ebook from them again.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why Linux never made it to the desktop: as long as developers don't unanymously chose for option 1, chaos will prevail in the Linux world.

Crap, that's what you get for posting at 3 AM.
Weight is measured in kg, force in Newton. There is a difference between the two, you know.
Yes, this is a first ever: the dupe directly after the first post. Kudos to the /. crew for making this possible!

And here I was, thinking that Free software helps a disabled mouse that was used as a test animal.

Can you run Linux on an iPad already?
I am one of the many people who don't have Facebook. None of my friends have it so there's no reason to subscribe.
Beautiful pictures! I woud love to explore a derilict building in that way.
Don't judge me bro'!
FTFY.
I suspect the "anger the fundies" problem is primarily a USA-centric issue, the modern world is probably working hard on this...
There, FTFY.

Someone please mod this guy down because of his language.

I can lend my Kindle and everything on it to someone else if I don't need it. I still read real books too.
Most of you use p2p to download and serve movies and music, no? You don't care about copyright then; why should you care about it now?
Indeed. And the article is rubbish, too. No details whatsoever, just someone who says that maybe you can make batteries out of it.

Of course not, silly. I stare at my reflection in the screen of my iMac and marvel at how cool I look and how good I am.
