WTF? It's the only game in town. What language did you expect to become successful? Any other language requires a plug-in which makes it not universal - so therefore we all just stick with what's going to run across all the browsers - even though it's a shitty language.
A while back I wanted to add a patch to an open source project that had been hosted on sourceforge and the dev had moved it to google code. After 6 months of him not replying to my request to patch his library (and showing no activity at all) I contacted both sourcforge and google code about taking over the project.
Sourceforge put me on a 3 month waiting list while they attempted to contact the original dev. Google simply gave me admin rights to his project THE NEXT DAY. Needless to say the dev contacted me soon after. If I had been an asshole I could have locked him out completely and PWNED his project. I was nice and let him have admin rights again.
That's why I like Sourceforge. Hosting code is their business so they take it seriously. Google? They're just an advertising company.
Anything is better than JavaScript. The world would be a much better place with something like TypeScript but children don't want to play in the same sandbox together so we're stuck with this until Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla grow up and start working together.
Embarrassed are we? You see that's the problem with Quebec: you're just a bunch of isolationists. What needs to happen is for Montreal to request provincial status and walk away. It's win-win. Quebec gets to be left alone as a have-not province getting transfer payments (as it does now) from the tax dollars of ALL Canadians and Montreal gets to be a vibrant city again.
>> I can't think of any mainstream language except for C that doesn't suffer from the "dialect" problem to some extent.
Java because it doesn't have a pre-processor - which is a very good thing. People may style the language differently but everything is still just Java. I can't redefine the language semantics like C.
Look at Objective C. It's just an API with a bunch of pre-processor directives to make the language look different. I can't think of another language except C++ which has such a severe "dialect" problem as C.

Keep apologising.

Basically Linus' ego is so big he doesn't think anything could have been done differently.
just curious.

Same here. Bethesda has no QA and none of my money anymore.
But not actually resisting.
It's called Edge? Wasn't it Spartan before? Next week it will be called???? Slashdot poll please!
Thanks!
Can it run Crysis?
Didn't Futurama have an episode like that? Where Star Trek became a religion and was banned at some point? I gotta find me that episode!
Nice.
A kitten smiles.
Because that link has the exploit. (just kidding!)
Obviously Soren has something to do with it...
Waiting for the crashes.
conservatives (retards) vs liberals (normals) - what else is new.
Why do we allow these mergers in the first place? Oh yeah profit.

LOL :) That's how they get all those "prophecies" to come "true".
Please have exploded 600 years ago!
Well it may be 17.364% less shit if that's what you mean.
