I always wondered if other people read like this. Often, I read multiple paragraphs of, say, a news article before a fellow family member has read a sentence. Consequently, I seem to forget the content of what I read more often (as other./-ers have stated), but hey, at least I read faster.:)
... Kind of scary if you've never been in an earthquake before. However, I was in a magnitude 6.0 earthquake a while ago in California, so this didn't seem too bad.
The really wild thing is, I've now weathered a fire, an earthquake, and a tornado all in the same house. Maybe it's time to consider moving?:)
You have a point; as a developer, you're not required to go through the app store - yet. Considering that 1) Apple is quickly making OSX behave like iOS 2) Apple has never liked not being able to control everything in the first place, it probably will be true in a matter of years (if not months). You're still right though - my statement is not true at the moment, and that's completely my fault.
I don't think you were being sarcastic, so I in turn will answer seriously: This basically makes 3rd-party software - like you get from Fink, for example - non-existent, as far as a Mac user is concerned, because all software for Macs will have to be retrieved from this "app store". This will likely severely limit the amount of FOSS software that is available for OSX. I used to think MS was the ultimate enemy of FOSS + software freedom, but Apple's starting to suggest otherwise...
You know, that only states that they will supposedly go back to FOSS sometime in the future. As far as we're concerned right now, Growl (>1.2) is a proprietary program.
Only the GPL and QTPL (formerly used for Qt) licenses have a strong copyleft (and thus require derivative works to be licensed under the same license) - most FOSS licenses (2/3-clause BSD, Apache, MIT/X) do not have such a requirement. And they, as the original developers and copyright holders, are well within their rights to change the license.
However, silencing users who are trying to alert others of Growl's FOSS forks is tyrannical and completely uncalled for.
If a formerly FOSS product goes proprietary, people are well within their rights to fork it the last FOSS version of it. The Growl developers are going to come to regret their decision.
My first experience with Ubuntu was back in 2009, when I tried out Jaunty Jackalope inside of VirtualBox just for kicks. Soon, I installed Wubi, and my fascination with Ubuntu only grew from there.
Happy 7th birthday, Ubuntu! I hope your future birthdays come in even more successful years:)
P.S: I actually like Unity - I never have to touch the mouse to get my work done now.
At least for me, it's not the guns/shooting that's the problem, it's the blood, guts, and gore that prevents me from buying certain video games, even if they're meant to be played only by me.
Yeah, sure, your child will probably see lots of guns in his lifetime - ever bought him a BB gun? But people blowing up into bloody messes? I don't think so. Frankly, I don't even see the point of having things like that happen in a video game, anyway - it doesn't add anything to the gameplay, it's just some sick form of "eye candy".
Although the open source label is more and more ubiquitous, society is still a long way from Richard Stallman's vision of a world where anyone could reprogram anything at any time.
-1 for mentioning open-source and RMS in the same sentence.

Ooh, I forgot about VLC. Good thinking.

PETA has really outdone themselves this time.

You don't need to use the official Diaspora server. For example, I use this one.
It's unlikely one will hit Oklahoma, you know. ;)

...what does that say about all us right-handed people?
Oh rats.
...now figure out why people have the hiccups. *hic*
Not to mention <stdio.h> on line 1. Please take more time writing your code.
You forgot to add return 0;

...Priceless.
You mean +++Agreed.
Think about it!
That's asking too much of most people.
...to hug myself...
