Having a truly open source (and community developed) fork is one of the main reasons, however we actually have been developing features independent of what oracle does. Pretty much the entire MySQL optimizer team left Oracle and moved to the MariaDB project. They took the time to fix subqueries so they were actually usable and improve many other features. Take a look at the comparison:
While there is no "sell all" feature, they have added a nice solution to your problem. You can now "star" or "x" items. There is no added functionality besides the visual indicator but it makes it easy when going through the vendor to quickly sell all your X'd items.
I star my important, must keep items and then during downtime (waiting on co-op buddies) go through and X anything I want to sell.

MariaDB 5.3.3 (currently in RC status) has improved GIS functionality versus MySQL. While sponsoring new features could improve it even further what we are releasing right now might be enough for you. Please give it a try, and talk to us about how we could make it fit your needs better.
Speech recognition will work in English (UK, US and Australian), French and German in it’s beta release. A data connection is also required to work.
(about halfway through the article).
That being said, Siri looks more advanced then the default voice recognition built into android, though some similar 3rd party apps exist for android.
In 3.1 on my xoom they do a good job. On the desktop, when you long hold you can drag to a trash can that says "remove" and that simply removes it from the desktop. On the app list, long holding makes "Uninstall" button appear that you can drag too.
If I recall correctly, the next android phone version is supposed to bring a lot of improvements from the tablet version.
I am sorry, but the framework still supports PHP version 4.3.2. Support for PHP 4 was ended at the end of 2007. Any framework that doesn't take advantage of the nice new features in PHP 5 bound to be full of kludges and outdated code.
That is just my reaction based on when I was comparing PHP frameworks, I didn't dig into their code so maybe I am wrong.
If they want to have any corporate entity in the US they have to follow these laws, the actual physical location of the servers doesn't matter (according to the lawyers I worked with).
It really is quite stupid, it just causes problems and doesn't help anything.
I will chime in and say "me too". I work from home and while I was comfortable in my normal chair at first after a few hours it causes problems in my lower back / hip. At a previous company this problem led to a burning sensation in my leg which is not fun. Anyways, at the advice of my chiro I switch between the chair and the exercise ball and feel much better. Actually having to hold your back and neck up at first will tire you up but you get over it.
My ~$1200 PC ran it well on medium and the game looked good. I don't know what everyone was bitching about. Besides looking good I thought it was a damn fun single player game, and spent a couple of weeks playing around online before getting into TF2 heavily.
Yeah I know I am strange. Let me say that some of the native apps for OS X were extremely nice (Keynote in particular).
These are the things that bugged me: 1. Virtual desktops. Spaces is nice but not a complete replacement. 2. Package management. I tried fink and one other, but it was nothing compared to apt-get. 3. Window switching. Switching to the application and then to the exact window I wanted seemed clunky to me and even after a month I wasn't used to it. 4. Lack of configuration. Maybe I missed some secret way to control things but it seemed that Apple decided exactly how you should use your computer and if you didn't like that, well too bad. In this case I didn't want the computer to sleep when I shut the lid but even after googling I could not find a solution that worked. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If I had stuck to it longer I would have probably gotten used to most things but since I had a chance to trade back to Linux I jumped on it and haven't regretted it. I also probably was missing tips people who have used OS X for years use that make things better.
I thought it was a very well made OS but it didn't fit me well at the time.
This was a pretty decent kickstarter for an open source project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewgodwin/schema-migrations-for-django?ref=live
Keylime Pie

We (yes, I work for the project) are always looking for new contributors. There are lots of exciting things happening right now.
Possibly Dark Angel?
I'm not a filesystem expert, but this is what I believe they are referring too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system

And it has, see MariaDB. A complete drop in replacement with added features. Full disclosure: I work on the project.

Siri's entirely on the phone on the other hand.
Sorry, you are mistaken: http://macintude.net/2011/10/04/apple-unveils-beta-voice-control-service-siri/

In fact, not wearing pants in the office will most likely lead to you spending more time at home.
Of course if you will continue to be paid is a different matter

Pretty much covers it.
Atleast in TF2 if you are on a good server people are easily banned by unique ID.
My clan has been playing Modern Warfare 2 recently and if you find a cheater the only thing you can do is back out of the match.

Why it's intelligent design of course! ;)
Sad the mods don't get a L4D reference.
Disable automatic upgrades then.
Tools > Options > Upgrades: Uncheck "Automatically check for upgrades".
Not so hard, but less fun then whining.
And that's just as illegal as pirating them in the first place...
and I won't feel bad about it at all... Unlike if I had never paid for it in the first place.
Of course, it is editable, but how many users are willing to do that? I am a competent user, yet I still can't be bothered.
Yeah dragging and dropping items is pretty tough...
