The main-line X will be very slightly better (Open Source projects are astonishingly inefficient with time and effort, from my experience in both open and proprietary projects).
The branch may be significantly better. Who knows. The poor guy is clearly too afraid even to discuss his mods.
This all smells like corruption in a communist regime. They're denying the forces of the market and trying to dictate what features users "want".
That it's also a bunch of antisocial losers trying to keep power to supplant their own egos is likely but not relevant.
Rejecting valid bugs for bureaucratic reasons does the project a disservice. Anyone putting their fingers in the community's project makes the community their customers.

I reported a bug, and it took two more submissions before I found the right category to submit it under, because the pinheads rejecting the bug assumed I should have knowledge of the code to understand the categorization.
I have no illusion that "the developers must do my bidding", but they have the illusion that they should just reject valid bugs with form errors instead of fixing the form themselves and doing some damned customer service.
Yeah, but when I watched the picture go from subatomic to universal while listening to Philip Morris' whispery voice describe the science at each power of 10 change in scale, I recall that it was me who said "this is cool", not him.
And Nova used to rule. Now it's a cross between Popular Science, Rush Limbaugh, and biotech-company commercials.

I mean, the Mac portables are tres passe'.
I want something with lexan and neon and tubes and bubbles and shit.
Get one of the hi-res images (GIF or PICT or TIFF) of the Yucatan from the NASA site mentioned in the article.
Zoom into the East rim of the crater where it meets the ocean. You'll see what looks like JPG artifacts as polygons in the green expanse, but they're gigantic and show up on the uncompressed images.
The fact that they're regular and it's an elevation map makes it all the more certain it's man-made clear-cut activity.

I thought the point of going back to the past was to get out of the arc idea. Back to the Sci-fi roots of TOS.
Maybe. I dunno. I don't think I've seen three minutes of a Trek since about season 3 of TNG. This franchise jumped the shark when Data got laid.
We've instituted a revolving-door policy for the productive workers.
Our managers and shareholders have never been happier.
2% of 6 billion is 120 million.
There are more poeple competent to do software than there are jobs flipping burgers.
It clearly doesn't matter whether we keep secrets or give Saddam prebriefings complete with 3-D realtime moving maps and decryption codes.
He has no ability to counterattack conventionally.
Our only worry now should be toxic boobytrapping in and around Baghdad.

Saw this coming a thousand miles away.
Toe the party line or be exiled to the Gulag.
Why was that a troll?
Are they paying those people?
And since when is 2 - 2 = -1 ?
Bureaucratic nonsense.

Sung to the tune of every song Ozzy Osbourne's ever sung.
I don't see what the problem is.
These things have been full of it for decades.
Enjoy.
These people competed in a contest to find out who would get to be slave labor?
Your statement is de facto advertising to everyone hoping it's already got the stigma.

Nope. We catch almost all the people who kill other people with guns, but they're still dead.
Stopping the killing is the key to bilateral acceptance.
Produce a gun that won't fire unless the target deserves it.
Yeah.
Great.
If you live on Tatooine!
That's like two years in Internet time.
But seriously, if it looks cool now, in two years it will be obsolete.
Look at our major terrorist attacks:
WTC - Box cutters.
Oklahoma City - Manure and fuel.
In other words, where there's a will, there's a way.
Washington, D.C. - the PATRIOT act.
Too right.

1. Create a brain.
2. ???
3. Profit!
Pixellation, polygons, and the world's worst gay-pr0n gallery are "way cool?"
Someone needs to get out on the net more.
What a freaking genius.
He discovered Q.
Send him a hardcopy of a JPG of a Nobel Prize and can we get on with our lives?
Maybe they'll work on making rockets that go higher and straighter on 62.5 g of propellant.
