Indeed. Note what Linus says further down the thread:

System services are *supposed* to parse it, because it gives a unified way for people to pass in various flags. The kernel doesn't complain about flags it doesn't recognize, exactly because the kernel realizes that "hey, maybe this flag is for something else".... And yes, that does include "quiet" and "debug". Parsing them and doing something sane with them is not a bug, it's a feature.... And the thing is, this has never really been a problem in practice. Because nobody minds if some kernel option like "debug" makes not only the kernel enable debugging, but some system deamon log a bit more too.... HOWEVER.
It does become a problem when you have a system service developer who thinks the universe revolves around him, and nobody else matters, and people sending him bug-reports are annoyances that should be ignored rather than acknowledged and fixed. At that point, it's a problem.
It looks like Greg has stepped in as a baby-sitter for Kay, and things are going to be fixed. And I'd really like to avoid adding hacky code to the kernel because of Kay's continued bad behavior, so I hope this works. But it's really sad that things like this get elevated to this kind of situation, and I personally find it annoying that it's always the same f*cking primadonna involved.
One of the original suggestions was utilities parsing the kernel command line was a Bad Thing (TM).
I take issue with your "musts". The way I see it, if I want a real answer to x/y I use x/y. If I want some special meaning of / (like integer division or rounded answers or blah blah), I use//. That is good design.
Default on Ubuntu is vim-tiny which is a step above old vi in the evolutionary ladder, but can't hold a candle to vim proper. I usually install gvim, though - it has more patches and functionality enabled than plain vim.
A few mails down the line, I saw someone (Ian Jackson, I think), call for a vote to depose Bdale as the TC chairman, and another vote with more options. The mail thread went on and on... Can anyone summarize what happened then? Is Shuttleworth premature in this decision?
GARA is a statute of repose generally shielding most manufacturers of aircraft (carrying fewer than 20 passengers), and aircraft parts, from liability for most accidents (including injury or fatality accidents) involving their products that are 18 years old or older (at the time of the accident) , even if manufacturer negligence was a cause.
I misspoke, I am not studying GCC for a course, the course is GCC: CS 715 at IIT Bombay - Design and and Implementation of GNU Compiler Generation Framework taught by Prof. Uday Khedkar. The course plan includes studying the various passes (analysis, optimizations, etc.) that GCC makes, adding/modifying passes, and implementing a machine description for GCC. The languages analyzed are C and C++, with initial activity on x86 systems and then on spim, the MIPS simulator.
It's usually called "Click-to-play". You can whitelist/blacklist sites as you like. The feature is supported in Chrome since forever and I use it. Since the majority of users just want youtube to start playing without added clicks, it's a sane default to allow auto-play.
Hogwash. If those "other uses" were profitable, they would already be doing it. Slave owners, just like any other businessmen, don't decide in advance to accept a certain level of income, and then constrain their activities to not exceed it. They try to maximize income. There are costs to acquiring, feeding, housing, and supervising slave labor. If you take away some of the profit, then fewer activities will meet the threshold, and there will be less slavery.
Those "other uses" are profitable, but not as much as the current use. They will be got around to when the current use isn't all that profitable.
Isn't this what they do? In Ubuntu and Arch Linux, Python 3.x is python3, Python 2.x is python2 (with binaries for minor python versions as well: python2.7 and python3.3 are both binaries available on my system). Usually, (as per Python's recommendations), python is symlinked to python2, but on Arch, it points to python3.
Hitman: Blood Money had Agent 47 infiltrating the White House and assassinating the Vice President. But then, nearly all of the targets in the HItman games are villainous in character. You could try to the guards of the White House (I assume they are soldiers), but it's tougher in this mission to come out alive doing so.

Python is 4 years older than Java, PHP and Ruby.
Seriously, that's the source? They are like the Fox News of India.

I'm getting a DOI not found for the paper from TFS, the DOI being 10.1038/nature13026.
Does anyone know the correct identifier?

Quoting from that Wikipedia article:
GARA is a statute of repose generally shielding most manufacturers of aircraft (carrying fewer than 20 passengers), and aircraft parts, from liability for most accidents (including injury or fatality accidents) involving their products that are 18 years old or older (at the time of the accident) , even if manufacturer negligence was a cause.

Wasn't he the one who started out with that ridiculous Java vs C# comparison? http://slashdot.org/topic/cloud/java-vs-c-which-performs-better-in-the-real-world/ I usually ignore any article with his name on it, but I am studying GCC for a course. Turns out, I should have continued ignoring.
I think this also holds for medical students in India - students in government medical colleges have to work for a few years for the government.

so i guess we have to call it The Release Currently Known As Fedora 21.
FTFY. Kneel before the Prince.

Shitty context menu with 'Rename' just on top of 'Delete'. 'Delete' bypasses Trash. Guess which I clicked.
Like it or not fat32 is the de facto inoperable file system.
(Emphasis mine.) That's worth a chuckle, at least.
Partially correct. The responsibilities in this case are passed on to the the legal guardian(s).
That quote reminded me of Michael Crichton's Airframe. Was he basing it on that crash?
When did you last test it? Most of my files open well enough. I'm on 25.0

The article itself has only one link, so it's not a click farm. But it is depressingly low on facts.
The government apparently spent $165 million on a web site that doesn't work.
I thought the budget was initially $165 million and then they overspent by $500m?
Proxy support! The one thing Uplay has over Steam or Origin that I'd like Steam to have.
