It's much better to have repository-wide revision numbers, because it means that a revision number identifies the state of an entire project at a specific point in time, not just the state of specific file.
This doesn't make it any harder to track changes to individual files. When you run "svn log" on a file or directory, you only see the log messages/revisions listed where that file or directory was changed.
When you bought iLife 4, you bought it knowing its feature set, having presumably read reviews, tried it on another people's machines, etc. If you bought it sight unseen, without awareness of any flaws or bugs that it has, that's your fault for not taking advantage of the resources available to you as a consumer. Apple has absolutely no responsibility to even provide you with patches to iLife for free, much less completely new versions.
Obviously you think free upgrades for life is a good thing. I do too. I'd like if I never had to pay for software again. But presuming that what you personally want should dictate the policy of other people is supremely egotistical, self-absorbed, and generally moronic.
If some company decides to offer free upgrades for life for all its existing customers, that's great. Buy their products and support their decision. But, as most companies have to make a profit in rder to stay in business and fund their development, that's not always a viable strategy. Claiming that you're justified in stealing their software because you wish they had such a policy is absolutely absurd, and makes me wonder if the term "spoiled little brat" is still appropriate for describing you.
I pirate software. I admit it. But I do so knowing that I'm being dishonest, breaking the law, and being a lousy person. But I will never pirate Apple's software. In addition to being an all-around-great company, they've in the past been pretty good as far as consumer rights go. But, iWork, Apple's new office suite, now has serial numbers. You can only install it on one machine. None of their previous software has had any sort of copy protection mechanism built-in, as far as I can remember anyway. Why did they feel it necessary to include one in iWork, inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of honest, paying customers out there? Because of dishonest, weasely little shits like you.
It's definitely just them bouncing apart and colliding until they give off all their potential energy as sound.
If you listen, you can hear the pitch of the sound getting higher and higher as they start to hit each more frequently, until they stop moving.

It requires GTK+, but not Gnome.
WindowMaker is an excellent window manager - I don't know what else you expect a "small window mangler" to do. If you want something "modern", then I would advise you to stop using an operating system that can trace it's origins back to the 1960's.
Blackbox is another personal favorite - it's about as lightweight as you can get.
"Is this just another move to encroach on the open source community?"
Well...yes. Why would you expect Microsoft to do anything different? Open source is one of Microsoft's primary competitors - they're certainly not going to do anything to help it along.
Your point being what, that Apple knows how to plan ahead and design their architecture for longevity, extensibility and reuse, while Microsoft's stuff is so crappy that they have to throw it all out every few years and start over?
On more than few occasions then, they must've heard me muttering things under my breath while on hold:
"grr...what's wrong with this stupid company..." "stupid asshats, I'm never buying their widgets again" "HELLO IDIOTS, I'VE BEEN HOLDING FOR HALF A FUCKING HOUR!" *click* *boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop* *silence*
Obviously, if Microsoft's software is better than the competition's, they will dominate the market. Microsoft usually gets along fine without selling software that actually works, so with that in their favor for once they should do even better.
The real debate is whether Microsoft will still dominate the market if a competitor gets its act together and produces a product that works better than Microsoft AntiSpyware.
I think the answer is yes - look at the success of Firefox. Even mainsteam users are slowly learning that there are superior alternatives to Microsoft products. I don't think any new Microsoft product that's worse than the competition will be able to survive long.
You know, one thing that annoys me about Wikipedia (I know this is OT, but I don't care) is how so many articles have nonsensical links.
For example, let's say we're looking at the article on Wikipedia itself. Somewhere within it, it says "Wikipedia has been criticized for being an unreliable source of information."
Now, anywhere else on the web, you'd expect that the link in there would point to further information on that specific criticism of Wikipedia. But, instead it points to a page defining the term "critic"! How useless is that?
I can't count the number of times I've seen a link on Wikipedia that made me say "ooh, I'd like to know more about that" and clicked it, just to find out that it only points to a simple definition of whatever term I clicked. That's not what I wanted, dammit!
Yeah, but they are huge mods considering that absolutely every gas-powered car you can buy for the price of the Prius (including several diesels that get better mileage than it does) will do over 130mph bone stock.
This car was not exactly "standard", as the summary claims.
"An engineering group from Toyota Motorsport in the USA prepared the car by changing the gear ratios (4.32:1 to 3.2:1) and increasing the inverter voltage from 500 to 550 volts. A transmission cooling system was added to decrease the temperature of the inverter and electric motor to maximise efficiency. Ambient temperature on the salt flats was nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit with nearly 100 degrees humidity. Ice was added between runs to keep the system cool.
The interior of the car was stripped to save weight, a roll cage added for safety and the whole car lowered by five inches to improve the aerodynamics for this highly specialised record attempt. Even the 26 in front and 25 in rear tyres were made especially by Goodyear."
Right, and what matters to Joe user? New hardware! They don't care if their old scanner doesn't work in Windows XP, because it's probably such a cheap piece of shit that it physically broke long before XP came out. It's expected that old hardware will be incompatible with new software - everyone is used to the cycle of constantly increasing system requirements already.
But if they buy a brand-new scanner and it doesn't work under Linux, they think "What a lousy, backwards, out-of-date operating system! It doesn't even work with my brand-new scanner!"
RTFA much? Project Entropia is based around the ability to freely exchange real-world and virtual currency. If he makes a profit off the island in the game, it becomes a profit in real life.
For all you guys making fun of this guy, it's possible he expects to make money off it. If he manages to sell resources and land from the island, he could then exchange his profits for US dollars.
According to the article, he will be allowed to sell plots of land on the island worth around $30,000.
According to Valve, these people are in the minority. Regardless, they knew what they were getting into when they decided to use the NOCD crack. What did they expect Valve to do? Valve put the CD protection into HL2 for a reason (even if it was only to satisfy Vivendi) - they're not going to sit around idly and watch as people try to bypass it.

It's really quite an elegant system.
Given what happened with the Doom movie, this one will probably end up being set on Mars with invading demons from hell as the enemy.
And what makes you think this new network won't have the same problems as Freenode after a week or so?
Personally, I've never had any troubles with warez and porn on Freenode, so I don't even know what you're complaining about.
Bullshit. Your argument is completely bogus.

That's what projectors are for. I've never understood what the purpose of these NxN arrays of LCDs is.
No, on Wikipedia it isn't automatic. Someone has to manually add the links by surrounding words with [[Tags]].

Is there a difference in anything but name between a "Service Pack" and "Update Rollup"?
Or has Microsoft decided that they don't like the term "Service Pack" anymore?
