You guys just read the summary and everytime is says AJAX you automatically start bashing the company using it
Are you sure the key word is "AJAX"? So if the summary didn't contain the word, then all the complaints about it being an advertisement for a non-free service which does the same things as many other non-free services would go away? Seriously, I'm curious as to how you read the comments and determined AJAX to be the phrase that triggers hate -- my intuition says that the things people are actually complaining about are the things that they don't like...
Who the hell labeled AJAX as a buzzword, it's an acronym.
Who the hell labelled cheddar as a cheese, it's a food...
Also, what's up with so many people complaining about how "everyone on slashdot sucks for thinking XYZ", when they clearly aren't? (in most cases these "everyone here thinks XYZ, but they're wrong" posts outnumber the "I think XYZ" posts ten to one) I just grepped the page, and the only mention of AJAX was "I did no really see the point in using AJAX from what was shown in the demo. the only use of ajax in the demo was displaying an animated image"...
I'm running the latest version of trac (manual download & install) supported by all it's libraries (apt-got)...
That's on a server I have root access to though -- If you can't install the one or two packages it depends on via apt (eg, you aren't root) you need to build everythiong from python up for yourself:-/
I do wonder why it isn't in the one-click install list though, surely it can't be that hard for DH to push the necessary support libraries to all their servers? As said, it's painless once they're done...
That'd be because the CDDB standards are totally braindead. Gogo musicbrainz, which sucks slightly less/o/ (although I've seen very few apps which support it D:)
there's Perl 6 - that will have every feature that has existed in any language, ever.
And that's exactly why brainfuck is easier to understand...
(Seriously; whenever I compare someone else's perl to my own it's like an entirely different language -- because "there's more than one way to do it", you have to understand *every* possible way of doing it if you want to understand other people's code~)
Speaking as a PHP person (one who codes it daily for a living), I'm not happy at all -- PHP is inconsistency incarnate. The built-in functions switch between using underscores or abbreviations or both or neither, argument passing order is similarly non-standard, the parser itself still surprises me, like so:
$foo = getFoo() or die("failed to get foo");
return $foo;
return getFoo() or die("failed to get foo");
These return *totally* different things. Try and guess which does what, answer below...

I really, really wish that a scripting language that didn't suck (eg. perl, python, ruby) was as common and easy to set up as mod_php...
On that topic, my own hack of choice; an animated presentation engine in 341 bytes, a protest against my classmates' multi-megabyte powerpoint based presentations:
Most people shun it with a, "Coding serious applications in JavaScript? Yeah, right."
Personally, I'm shunning it since I only have 512MB RAM and a 500MHz processor... Since switching from firefox + thunderbird to epiphany (gecko inside a GTK shell) + sylhpeed I've not had to go and make a cup of tea while I waited for either to come out of swap space, and when fully in RAM they're noticably faster. I'm currently trying opera instead of epiphany, which has given me another huge cut in memory use and boost in speed.
I daresay that XUL apps are so huge and slow, not even statistics can prove otherwise:-P
(Did I just invent a new variant of "your momma's so fat" o_O?)
Quod libet is my player of choice for linux, it's GTK + GStreamer glued together with python. It's still nowhere near the resource efficiency or functionality of foobar2000 for windows though D:
What, you think you weren't paying for distro before?:-/
Before you were paying for the content with money, and for the distro with money; now you're paying for the content with money and the distro with bandwidth.
A man gives away a vast fortune and all you people can do is complain about how that's not really all that much
Having scanned the comments, I see nothing of the sort; the vast majority of comments are praise or meta-disucssuon. What is it with the slashdotters being holier-than-thou, complaining about how everyone else is saying XYZ, when in fact nobody is? Most people are, like themselves, complaining about how "everyone else" is saying XYZ:-/
When everyone rides the same high-horse, nobody's any higher than anyone else -- they're all just really annoying...
... yes? They are "now", just as they always have been:-/ How on earth are you defining "video", if not a series of frames, normally shown in quick succession to simulate movement?

their terms of service does not say "Ask has the right to create censorbots that restrict what you can see on the web.
Since when does a website have to explicitly state "we can put what we want on our own site"? And since when are they creating censorbots that restrict you from looking at third party websites?

Not as much of a target as people who can't spell though...
For your situation to be true, both would have to assume the other will have the material, so they've both made asses of themselves.

Do you also complaing about not being paid to visit slashdot, since they're making money out of you (ad impressions)?
Are you, by any chance, this guy?
