I am one of the least educated Greeks (i left school when i was 14 - more than 97% of Greeks finish school at 18) and i can still read Homer and the rest of our ancient Greek texts (or the New Testament - writen originally in Greek) from the original.
I can read New Testament Greek, and it definitely isn't the same as either classical Greek or modern Greek. The language has changed. At the rate it's going, soon 50% of the language will be some variant of the word malakas, just like English is degenerating into stuff like, "Fuck you you fucking fuck!"
So should English people get offended at the way Japanese hijacks words like "idol" and "panic", or the way that "VIP" effectively means "sexual services" in Vietnamese? Modern Greek has changed a lot from classical Greek, so you're arse-raping your own language anyway.
As much as I dislike RMS, I don't think he's a sellout. I very much doubt the FSF would ever sell the GNU copyrights to an organisation that doesn't have similar ideals.
They aren't dissimilar metals at all - they're semiconductor metalloids that are N- or P-doped, i.e. silicon or germanium with impurities added, just like the active devices in integrated circuits.
It's not thermocouples with dissimilar metals. It's Seebeck effect using semiconductor junctions. (Peltier effect is the use of voltage to generate a temperature differential, Seebeck effect is use of a temperature differential to generate voltage, but you can use the same devices for both.)
It still baffles me how Sun Microsystems could simply "buy" GPL licensed MySQL in the first place, but I guess if you own the trademark you own the software.
Sigh... How many times will this need to be explained? All MySQL code was always Copyright MySQL AB. External contributions to the project required copyright assignment to MySQL AB (just like contributions to GNU projects require copyright assignment to FSF). Sun Microsystems bought the copyright to MySQL, and Oracle bought Sun. The copyright holder can release their IP under any license they want. They cannot revoke the GPL (or other copyleft) license on anything already released under that license. You don't lose your rights to anything MySQL AB and/or Sun Microsystems already released under GPL. But you have no right to demand that the copyright owner release future versions under any particular license.
But then again, I don't use ghostery, don't know what it is, never heard of it, don't use it and wonder why you expect Atlassian to craft their software stack against third party software.
It's a browser plugin for blocking intrusive tracking elements in web sites. I've never had it cause trouble with any other web site besides those that intentionally require you to submit to tracking (e.g. airport wi-fi sign-on pages), but those sites will usually detect the elements being blocked and give you an upfront message about it. It's almost like Atlassian went out of their way to make their stuff not work with Ghostery.
From the tone of your post, you are just leaping at a chance for a cheap jab at Atlassian with trumped up nonsense.
From the tone of your post you are a shill who has something to gain from Atlassian sales, jumping at a chance for a cheap sales pitch with vague anecdotes.
Personally, I enjoy the Atlassian stack, find it unrivaled in feature coverage and have migrated many clients to the Atlassian stack.
Ah, right. You sell Atlassian software. Can you say "conflict of interest"?
Atlassian has absolute contempt for their paying customers. Each release of JIRA has functionality and flexibility that people actually want removed in the name of making it easier to use for new users. JIRA and Crucible use some monstrosity of JavaScript that causes lag when typing into intput fields, and certain versions clash with Ghostery in a way that causes certain characters (e.g. spaces) to be swallowed. It's sad, but it doesn't surprise me at all that they don't care about security in an authentication system.
you can run the GNU userland if that floats your boat in a chroot jail.
Yes, and you can run the GNU userland on Windows using MingW or Cygwin. But the typical user, and especially a non-technical user, is never going to go there. Android, just like Windows, doesn't rely on GNU userland or expose it to the user, and as such referring to it as a GNU/Linux system is disingenuous at best.

I call bullshit on your whole line of thinking. No-one who professes lack of computer knowledge would ever say they can't run "GNU/Linux" - the only people who actually say "GNU/Linux" are RMS-worshippers.
Anyway if you want to go down the path of calling distributions with GNU userland tools "GNU/Linux" Android doesn't qualify, because it doesn't give the user GNU userland anyway. It uses the Linux kernel, but that's irrelevant to a non-technical user. They could swap the kernel out for anything without users even noticing as long as the Android userland is moved across.
You are correct - you can get the same results by adjusting settings and policies to match on pro and server. It's only the defaults that differ. Also, yes the included userland functionality is the big difference.
Server installations by default have the scheduler configured to prioritise services over UI applications, and to provide more deterministic scheduling at the expense of responsiveness to user input.
Oh Gillard is no better - look how eager she was to give US forces even more access to Australian bases. We may as well not be a sovereign country at this rate.
Yeah, sure. I'm glad it works for your use case, and I'm sure it's great for a lot of others, too. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me - there will never be an off-the-shelf library for vol models developed in-house.
The "no-work" option is only useful if the bulk of the time in your code is in well-known algorithms that are implemented in Intel's library. Even going up to the "minimal work with Intel compiler" approach will require you to wrangle vector intrinsics manually to take advantage of these cores.
One thing I never expected was how long it would take me to stop looking at the English signs on the street. When I was riding a bus in Taiwan and when I saw 10 Chinese signs and 2 English signs, my eyes gravitated toward the English from decades of habit. Forcing my eyes to focus on the Chinese and ignore the English was really difficult.
Funny, it took my sister less than a week in Japan to start looking at the Japanese signs first and only fall back to English if she couldn't read it.
Oh it gets worse. When I'm in Tokyo my Japanese sucks because it's easy to find someone who understands enough English to get by. When I'm out in the country where no-one speaks English, my Japanese gets a lot better suddenly because I have no fallback option. And then if I get drunk enough, even when I'm not in Japan, I forget how to speak English, and start just speaking Japanese to everyone, and ironically that's when my Japanese vocabulary is at its best. (Yeah, the logical conclusion is that I should just stay blind drunk at all times in Japan.)

Wasn't that just a paid advertisement for the Nokia Communicator 9000 series before the actual film started?
There's a BBC show about that: Rastamouse. I'm not even joking!

IIRC the "Episode IV" line was added in 1981 for the Laserdisc and cinematic re-release. It definitely wasn't there in the '70s.
