I wrote nothing about being (or not being) a good ruler. I opposed calling the government (with PM being well known for his anti-communist views) "national communist". They are national conservatives.
What are you smoking? Current Polish Prime Minister was a member of Fighting Solidarity (Polish anti-communist underground organization founded by his father) and Independent Students’ Association. He was beaten several times by the communist militia when he was a teenager. He's probably the most anti-communist PM in modern Poland.
Have they (the PC Police) actually found someone "offended" by master/slave naming scheme? Have they found the real slave who actually read Python documentation and felt bad because of this?
More sophisticated SSDs perform static wear leveling (moving old data to different locations on the disk) in the background. To improve performance, firmware on some disks does this without ensuring atomicity of each operation. It means that in case of unexpected power loss you could end up with seriously broken filesystem. Cheap pendrives are probably not affected by this, but you should be careful when connecting e.g. external SSD via USB.

Soon all these service workers will be replaced by Duplex (or its competitor) as well, so it will be only some other AI that will get dehumanized:-/
If they wish to engage to aggression against other country's sovereignty, they should do it without the rest of the world helping fund them.
EU countries pay Putin billions of dollars for gas (some of them are close to 100% dependent on Russian gas). The only kind of sanctions that would really harm Putin would be reducing gas imports. It's VERY hard to do in a short time and many EU countries event don't try to do that.

It's not the cell phone, but big server farms behind it. Try use it without network connection.

According to the specifications is uses LX-700, which runs at 433MHz (more info here). Not far from 500MHz.
Even Mozilla guys ignore non-x86 Linux

There's only single "Linux" download link that refers to Linux/x86 binary. If leading Free Software project doesn't treat non-x86 platforms seriously, how can we expect something different from e.g. hardware manufacturers?
> XSD is not a "language" any more than XML is. XSLT I suppose can be considered one.
Actually both XSL and XSD are languages. Mathematical language is a set of strings made of symbols. Programming languages are mathematical languages but there're many other languages that fit this definition.

So, how do they call doctors with 20-30 years of experience?

(...) The point is that you can boot up a linux kernel and run linux apps.
Most probably it's running different userspace on top of existing (Android) Linux kernel.
It was really nice to have a programming language in ROM on 8-bit machines.
Then Atari BASIC XL, Action!, 6502 assembler, etc.
... of HIS data.
People without good taste (regarding to the code) will never become great software developers.

The problem lies in errors that won't show during compilation...

Wrong. Grammar simply describes language's syntax.

Reversed? Wouldn't it be http://gro.todhsals then?
It's the other way round.
The real problem is "release early (without documentation)" rule.
Their uptime says all.

Sodipodi uses SVG as its native file format.

Of course you'd need another machine... running Open Source OS. Why bother with windows then?
> The bottom line is trust. You have to trust someone at some point.
With Open Source you have the choice of vendor that you trust. With proprietary software you have to "trust" microsoft.
