Speaking as someone active on Slashdot in the era of the Halloween emails, and Gate's "open source == cancer" speech to Congress, there was a LOT to be angry about. It really was like watching a cartoon villain. I switched to Linux completely for 6 years over it, even. That was legitimate anger.
But you know what? In a few years, we're going to have working professionals posting on Slashdot who weren't even born when this stuff happened. It was perpetuated by people who aren't even in the industry anymore. At some point, we as a collective group are just going to have to accept the fact that we won; we licked MS and their anti-FOSS stance, and it's ok to get over it now.
Well, these guysalso have a trademark on AIX in the computer space, so I imagine trademark applicability is a good deal narrower than "computer space".
IIRC, Rubio is the only candidate to say (at least, int he debates) Apple should not acquiesce. The only other candidate to even acknowledge that there were privacy implications was Cruz, but even he hedged as said that even considering, Apple should give in. Everyone else is on the side of security theater.
If PostgreSQL is fine for you, you are not the target market for SQL Server, anyway. Before now, customers who needed *real* scalability had only one choice: Oracle.
I've seen it all the time. You go to rewrite a library or module because it's old and busted, it wasn't sufficiently documented, and you find "joe code" that has you scratching your head. "Why did they do this? This is literally the dumbest way to do this, ever." When your new module hits production, you soon realize why it was just so.
You have to admit; they're track record is still a helluva lot better than EA, which has pretty much crushed all my favorite franchises, ever: Maxis, Origin, Westwood, et. al.
The ONLY thing 911 did was make the US (and not JUST the US) say 'enough is enough'.
I am quoting this portion only to take exception on behalf of the countries that joined us in Afghanistan, even though it wasn't their fight; especially non-NATO countries, who were there for no other obligation than that they are our friends. We were not alone.
Halliburton does oil and construction, not military or space R&D. And that's the problem with talking points like "Halliburton;" you completely undercut your argument by not actually knowing anything about what you are "debunking".
Untenable nuclear war strategies yield, as a byproduct, incredible technology with legitimate (and much more tenable) civilian use. I feel like our space and lazer technology has hit a rut, and something ludicrous like SDI could give it a much-needed jolt in the arm.

Oh, dear, no. I meant for private repositories for internal projects, for which git is increasingly coming into use.

Don't UEFI boot partitions require fat?
I vastly prefer TFS simply for ease of use. It's a lot more intuitive than git (for me).
Exactly. I hope these companies are forced to divulge all of my personal information and secrets. That will show them . Hah!

You got us! The truth is, there is no Mars. It's a red laser pointer the CIA aims up at the big black sky-tarp we call outer space.
To change that, drastic changes in the corporate structure would be required, changes that i hardly believe they are willing to make.
Like changing chairmanship and corporate structure a couple times in the 20 years since?
Twenty years is a long time to hold a grudge. All those people are gone, and we got work to do.
Yes?
Oh, no, the lawyers will surely get a bigger cut than that.
Parent may already have been replaced by a cunning Eliza program.
You have no right to apply such binary labels to zir gender!
At least the Google Translate of the article was more readable than most Slashdot summaries...

That's right. That is very Halliburton of which I speak, that does not do any military or space R&D. Very astute.

It's a sad fact that you have to bribe legislators into doing good thing as well as bad.

Except the rest of his suggestion still holds, so in this case your stupid-bit-check yields too many false positives to be of any actual use.
