So? The GP asserted that the code is low quality (it is not: Linux is about the highest performing kernel out there and GCC is about the best compiler out there).
In general the quality is low. Including GCC. LLVM is far better.
If LLVM were a Microsoft product instead of an Apple product
LLVM is not an Apple product. It's an open source project which Apple, amongst others, incorporate into their products, and to which they contribute source improvements.
GPL only serves users, it does not serve people who program for a living. And it doesn't serve users very well either, due to it's generally poor quality.
The watchdog only fires if a single runloop takes that long. The poster is talking about the delay whilst a web-page is being loaded, during which time he can't interact with the web-app. But the browser is performing runloops properly.
It is nonsense through mutual reviews for the public to know which party was to blame for a bad transaction.
That's not the purpose. The aim is to provide ratings both for drivers and for passengers. The rights or wrongs of a particular transaction is irrelevant next to the stats over time. A rude or unhelpful driver or passenger will end up with a lower rating over time than a police and helpful one.
There is a right want and a wrong way of implementing it though. Obviously reviews will be limited to actual rides that took place. But beyond that raters need to be anonymous. Ebay ratings suffer from revenge ratings, and from too many positive ratings in the fear of getting revenge ratings. Complete power is in the hands of the second person to rate a transaction. That needs to be avoided here.
Another reason for keeping raters anonymous is for personal safety in case of real world revenge, given that drivers and passengers have a fair chance of coming into contact again.
Microsoft has always endeavoured to have Windows on as many PCs as possible, no matter who manufactures them. Now the Raspberry Pi is supposedly PC spec (even if not X86 architecture) it's not too surprising to see Windows for it.
What ill-thought out nonsense. There's two sides to every transaction, and one side isn't special just because they are providing their side of the value balance in money.
You live with a mindset that anything that serves you personally is good and anything that doesn't is bad. A greedy right wing viewpoint. Don't expect others to think the same way.
I don't have a problem with savers getting interest, nor investors getting a moderate return. But I repeat I don't have any sympathy with investors who are making less money, and I never will.
In the UK it's the ISPs that have the legal duty to block pirate sites, under a recent law. And thepiratebay.se is still blacklisted from before it was raided.
Prohibition on alcohol didn't go on forever, and neither will the war on drugs. The war on cannabis is already fading in America.
Overwhelming opposition just comes down to politicians believing they will get 1 more vote for decriminalising than criminalising. (Plus the lack of corporate bribes to maintain the prohibition.) Such is democracy.
If the pirates wouldn't have paid to see the movie anyway, for example they are too poor to pay, then that piracy is no loss to the studio whatsoever. And that certainly is the case for a sizable number of pirates.
Of course there are other people who would have paid, but don't pay if they can get a pirate version. Those people do represent a loss to the studio owners.
The innovations involved in each of these (bar the 2012 multiple sizes that you brought to the table) were of course much more than simply changing the size.
But Jobs didn't want third party applications on it. There was no App Store. And when prompted about third party apps, Jobs envisioned some kind of web app system. But he didn't want the perfection of the iPhone soiled by third parties.
I understand that's entirely wrong. Apple understand the danger of pre-announcing. The "no apps" position was to get people to buy the iPhone as it was in version 1, rather than wait. The "web apps" position was to have something to tell developers at a time when the SDK was far from ready to announce. But Apple were intending to have third party apps right from the point they selected a cut-down OSX OS.
That's often not the case. Most raw materials come from parts of the world where there is much poverty. Huge amount of value. But it's not distributed to those people. There's a small percentage of usually corrupt people in the country that do very well, but most of the value of those materials is generally taken by foreign multinationals aided by international organisations such as the World Bank and the IMF.
You're just delaying the day that they will go into landfill. Even if you hoard them for the rest of your life, whoever clears your effects will most likely dump them in landfill.

The Linux Kernel and Apache are good. Most GPLed stuff, particularly apps, are poor.

For all the country code top level domains the answer is obviously the appropriate country.

And we've all experienced many web servers that are down. Most of which are running Linux.

As I predicted, you don't understand the difference between innovation and invention. We're talking about innovation, not invention.

Use Tor, and only download non-executables.
(A decent OS will stop you from running an executable that's spoofing as a media file. If common sense fails you.)

The split between the two is unknown.
Never have had any sympathy for investors making less money, never will have any sympathy.
Despite the ridiculous state of American law, a studio (company) is not a person.

Yeah, multiplayer Monster Truck Madness was the best driving game I ever played. One of the few great MS products.
and eventually that will diminish especially since apple has stopped innovating.
iPhone 2007, iPad 2010, iWatch 2015. When did they stop innovating?
And anyone who thinks that's not innovation need to consult a dictionary for the difference between innovation and invention.

Plus the quality of AC posts is mostly extremely low. The occasional decent one doesn't make it worth while reading ACs, let alone answering them.
Slashdot would be a significantly better place if AC wasn't an option.
