Eh, depends on the word "Modern". Java has swing, Classic Visual Basic, Visual Fox Pro, and countless other wonderful "modern" languages have had "world Class" Gui libraries. Which is why we all love them and they are our first choice to use when ever possible. *Cough* , *cough*
No, not really. Its like going out with a group of friends. You don't just hear the things they say to you, you also hear other people communicate with them. If you really want a communication to be private you do it via private messaging.
I agree though that this is one area that Facebook and all other social network sites could improve themselves by having finer grained control of who could see what wall posts.
Can you honestly say that you go to events that you would not have heard about except over Facebook? That you did not receive any emails, phone calls, or hear any of your friends (in real life) talking about?
Yeah actually that's how I hear about most things first. Then when I see people we might talk about the event,but its a great casual way to organize an event amongst groups of friends. Less intrusive than a phone call or aim. Email could be sort of an alternative, but not as rich.
For most catching up of friends you are right, but you can also discover more common interests than what was possible before through a quick aim chat. You get to listen in on their conversations with other people and see how they interact with their friends and how they react to the days events. I can honestly say that I am now a much closer fired to some people I went through high school with, than when we were in high school.
No, one time use password reset link. 1) They only send you a link. 2) You click on link, reset password to new value. 3) Link no longer works after password reset.
If link is not used to reset password withing an hour, it no longer works.
No need to send password, ever. No need to store password in clear, ever.
Ok, I see now what happened. Linus won the technical battle, but wasn't satisfied at Cox's capitulation. Cox wanted to lose the argument with grace, Linus wouldn't let him.
A classic moment in arguing. A sly technique in the midst of an argument when you realize that despite everything you said to the contrary, you are really, really wrong. But, you don't want to admit it and the other person hasn't figured out that you know you're wrong. So you say something deliberately confusing that could be interpreted as supporting your opponent's argument, or your previous one. He assumes you are supporting the same side as ever and continues to hammer the point. You continue to make misleading statements, until you've slowly started to argue his side a little clearer. At this point he's really confused and asks you if you support your original statement, you say that's absurd and would never believe such a stupid thing. He's won, but you don't agree you were ever wrong. Just a "miscommunication" and "we were both right".
My younger brother used to do that to me all the time. Drove me nuts.
Yeah, but in this case he doesn't come off looking too bad. Basically it boils down to this summary
Cox -> submits code with a bug in it User -> reports bug in code Cox -> blames other code, doesn't acknowledge bug Linus -> blames Cox for ignoring bug Cox -> states that he's been working hard to fix bug, not easy. He quits.
Can't tell from the selected communication, how much Cox had ignored the bug, blaming other people or if he explained in a email the complications of the fix.
Tough to judge, based on the limited communication presented in public.
Well, the current google service isn't even available for businesses, or anyone else not officially invited to participate. Your original post was a piece of good advice, disguised as a complaint.
Yeah, but that didn't stop you from writing the rest of your highly negative post. Its like you knew your complaint wasn't valid, but decided to complain anyways.

Q: Which exact binaries, which GPL'ed code? A: They previously released kernel modules that were half and half. Half GPL'd Microsoft code, half binary blob.
Q:Was the discovery of GPL'ed code made before or after MS released the code? A: Before. They were approached silently and with out fan fare by Novell and correct the situation by releasing all of the code for the driver.
Q:Was the GPL'ed code able to be licensed through other means? A:Well, you only have so many choices when you write a driver for Linux. I'm sure they could have argued like others have that their driver was not a derivative work of Linux, and just submitted a binary blob. The fact that they tried to have it both ways indicates that they didn't think this was the case.
Q:Is there a possibility they decided to make this GPL'ed code a while ago and decided to link to other GPL'ed code because of this? A: Probably not. The driver was all their code, they specifically chose to put the GPL on only part of it.
I actually think that's funny rather than blasphemous. Christian's have mixed feelings on the crusifiction. On one hand it was a necessary sacrificial act of Love for God to be killed. On the other hand, its the expression of Man's worst nature, that he could actually do that to a perfect innocent. It's like the debate over where Judas is in eternity. On one hand the crucifix was necessary, on the other hand he chose to kill Jesus and then Killed himself.
Not sure what you were talking about, but hadoop and postgres are open source. Unless they're stupid, they wouldn't make the resulting product closed source.
I'm not going to make the whole free software pitch here, but lets just say I believe in the superiority of the development process and the end product through my experiences developing and using software.
I have no confidence in Intersystems Cache's long term survival.
You mean you didn't understand that use of English? Really? you've never heard a kid tell an unbelievable true story and then back it up with a "seriously!" or a "I'm not even kidding", or a "No joke". Its a point of emphasis. Its not that everything the kid says is a lie, but what he's saying borders on being credible so he feels a need to emphasis that he isn't lying.
Good point. Would the Gas piping also survive? If not, the fire would probably kill it.
Also, Would it make sense to have the sprinkler system go off in the case of an earthquake? Or would that be just as likely destroyed as the natural Gase pipes?
Well, if you ask me, its a slap in the face to Voodoism. As is all Zombie movies, really. No one ever does the actual research to see what a Zombie is how they are created or how they can be saved.
That, of course, is a popular delusion. Its not that we aren't materialistic and selfish now, but we were just as bad back then. And 50 years before that, and 50 years before that, and 50 years before that...
Human nature is human nature. It hasn't changed recently. There are a few times that we have still been able to do really cool things when we put our minds to it, and have good leaders. But, there isn't any real cultural difference today that would prevent it from happening.

The numbers don't add up that way. At&t spent crapola on supporting the iphone. As did Sprint to support the pre. The only painful part of the process is the carriers giving up a little bit of control. Not money, not infrastructure improvements: control.
While I understand that you're probably joking, there is crazy and then there is paranoid schizophrenia. Its like the difference between a corrupted jpeg, and a file of random data. One's broken, the other isn't even that.

html5 canvas anyone? I'm sure advertisers can come up with some truly annoying ads with that, which will be pretty difficult to block.

I don't follow fake science very well. Why does that disprove an unprovable theory? I'm solely interested as a mater of logic.
Are you saying its over complicated to the point of being a bad design, maybe? I wonder how my self modifying AI scripts would view their designer.

Sort of mystifying , given your sig and all...
You're not very good at parsing the intent of language, no joke.
Just recalling incidents from 89 where I remember there being fires caused by ruptured gas lines. Could be wrong.
Then why are there still fires associated with Earthquakes? Or was the regulation put into place after the Nothridge earthquake?
Good point. Would the Gas piping also survive? If not, the fire would probably kill it.
Also, Would it make sense to have the sprinkler system go off in the case of an earthquake? Or would that be just as likely destroyed as the natural Gase pipes?
