The OS is stellar in general, is what my comment was. Handy been closed to multitasking iOS yet because I didn't renew my iPhone after my gen 1 drowned.
...and its been stellar. The only thing I find odd is quitting apps. The Home button now goes back to the home screen. To quit an app, you must double-tap the home button to display the task bar where you can close apps much like removing apps from the home screen: tap and hold reveals (-) buttons where you can close items.
Not all that obvious, and you can not close an app unless you switch out from this app because the currently running app is not displayed in the task bar.

Who says you have to? Do you feel pressured when a car company announces the current year`s model?
How about the autumn release of Levis jeans?
Heck... that pint of milk is dépassé by now. RUSH NOW to buy this week`s release!!... or just realize you made a short-sighted comment and move on.
Earlier in the late 70s and early 80s, people around the globe used Crossfield and Hell drum scanners to retouch photos. Yeahs before computers were able to do it.
I had pieces of a Hell drum scanner in my office in 1988 when I was building an image correction software to control it. By then, ImagePro had already been doing this for a couple of years, on computers.
I agree to some degree but those 300+ distros, out of each one is probably one (or more) very good devs that would contribute much more if their efforts be concerted in one (or few) distros.
So, of these 22 devs that forked... How many will fork again in 4 months because they don't like this or that aspect of LibreOffice?
Next up in line:
MuchoLibre Office MuchoLibre Office with cheese RevolutioneOffice RevolutioneOffice Viva (pro and light edition)...
...in no time, with 300+ variations. This is what I hate about OSS. The moment someone isn`t too happy, they get the fork off and duplicate the work and dilute any chance of completing the damn thing, rather than working things out.

Honda just didn`t put much thought to AI programming to make this Asimo thing very useful.
Honda is, after all, still just a transportation company. Oh, and land mowers.
The Asimo is a GREAT bipedal platform. The way it moves and balances out (except in stairs... har har har) is very good.
Its just not a robot yet. The term robot is just too loosely used.
There are other bipedal platforms out there that have also (and quickly) catch up to the Asimo. They should now spend some time on autonomy AND self-guidance.
I refuse to call that 15-minute autonomy radio-controlled hunk of junk, a robot.
When it can fend for itself, navigate for itself, stay on it's feet for more than 15 minutes and otherwise actually work on anything, then we could call it a robot.
Sending out 10,000 notices every day incurs operational charges to the ISP and they used the loophole in the law to make a point. It went to court, and they won. They were awarded 65centimes (about 0.9 USD) for every notice they send out:

The entire article is flame bait. As most tongue-in-cheek arguments you will find here.
SJ was not saying iOS is a better alternative, or "the future" of the web. But rather that Flash is a piece of crap not worth bothering it's platform with. That open standards such as HTML5 offers better performances, runs native on whatever platform and can do everything Flash can.
Tieing iOS to the Flash argument is iodtic. So is market penetration of iOS. SJ is talking about the overall web. There is no need or future for Flash.
I was nearly taken out by an effin hybrid car once (a Ford Escape) running under battery. There's no way to hear those coming in a city noise background.
For context, I was walking in an underground parkway, turning a corner on my way to the elevator shaft.

Yeah. Didn't make it clear I'm running iPad.

Same here. All Im asking for is a long chair for the last bits of moments.

Thanks. But not everyone understand criticism and points of view.
I'm a heavy user of OSS, in particular OpenOffice and I would hate to see it become as meaningless as NeoOffice and other short-lived copies.
I live on GCC, gdb and other oos tools.

YOU dont have a clue. It won't run for more than 15 minutes on it's charge.
It is merely a tool.

Go Rovers.
Yeah, for volumes.
...given the bulk of the population doesn't even know what metric is and that they measure distances in football field lengths.
Not quite as retarded as calculating weight in stones, but it`s only a foot away from that.
FYI,
You are addressing the wrong crowd to debate this in any meaningful and constructive way.

This is version 10 of the Flash product and it still sucks raw pigeon farts on the desktop.

Er. Why would Oracle team up with Adobe`s Flash, given their JavaFX?

Balmer at MS also worked out well for Apple. And Linux. I say we keep him there.
