TFS is much more than Subversion, think Subversion + Continuum + Bugzilla (somewhat) + requirements tracking + other tools.
You are correct in one sense - TFS attempts to do a lot more than SVN. SVN is designed to so one thing well, and to connect to other tools that do their thing well.
I have used both, and my opinion is that SVN has succeeded brilliantly. TFS is designed to be all things to all people, or something. It's a mess. It's no fun to use: It's annoying, it's rubbish, it's MS 1.0 product, but at least it's not SourceSafe. Also, the SVN + CuiseControl + Bugzilla toolchain is free, whereas TFS is highly expensive.

If you have to talk to a server over slow links, decentralized is much better
I have recently used SVN and Microsoft TFS, and in this respect SVN is a clear winner since it keeps version history locally, and you only need to connect when getting or committing updates. I've done work on a laptop on a train with no network at all. SVN didn't bat an eyelid. TFS, by contrast, throws a hissy fit if it can't get to the version server.
" the transfer of light electromagnetic energy into a tiny volume, thus creating intense electric fields."

You've got it wrong; they haven't pissed off their customers, they're probably in fact doing what their customers have asked. You forget that advertisers are their customers.
No, you've got it wrong. I have a paid LJ account, that makes me a customer, but not an advertiser.
Over 24 hours into this, there is no announcement.
Not anymore. 48 Hours in there is an announcement, with a big apology. Which would you rather have - a quick announcement or a correct announcement? And you know, 48 hours is pretty quick.
True. However some countries have anti-discrimination laws that say that you can't deny entrance on arbitrary criteria. If you let most people in, you can't exclude someone without a reason. It's there to stop things like "you can't come into my shop, you're black". Such laws are a good thing on the whole. And they would seem to be relevant.
Yet, we've ported some of our best applications to the proprietary Windows platform, and as a consequence of this there is less incentive for Windows users to become users of Free Software operating systems.
This has been debunked before. it's easier to switch OS when you are still running familiar apps on top of it after the change. e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird.
Except, of course, that the developers are typically also the users,
Yes. Which is why open source works so well. Except when the developers aren't the users, in which case it doesn't work. Open source has typically been lousy at applications targeted at users who are not very good with computers already.
Nope, free software gives you what you the makers wanted to have themselves. Software that you have built to spec gives you what you want to have. Give or take some bugs and design errors.
I don't really understand the point of your post, because your above conclusion is exactly what I said in mine.
My point is that there are plenty of people in mental institutions because they simply cannot cope or function effectivly in this or any other actual or plausibly imaginable human society. They are insane. This is not relative.
What is 'normal' and 'sane'? 'Sane' in our society has not the same definition in other societies, cultures and social networks.
I call bollocks on that. Human behaviour is variable, but not infinitely so. It's within set boundaries. In no society is, for instance, paranoid delusional behaviour, or severe depression, or mania adaptive.
yet who in our society can define "optimal normal",
Do we need to define one normal? No. Normal was never just one thing. All we need to define are the gross abnormalities.
we worship the most eccentric
eccentric is not insane.
And maybe here's a consistent definition of sane for you to consider: Able to cope and function effectively in the society in which you find yourself.
The coffee as-poured by McDonalds is ~82 degrees C.
I get 190F = 87C from the source below.
so while she's driving.
She wasn't driving. You know nothing.
The basic summary of the case is this: "in the ten years prior to Stella's accident, over 700 men, women, and children had been burned by the unsafe McDonald's coffee. For years, McDonald's sold coffee that was "unfit for human consumption", and made $1.3 million dollars a day in profit doing so. Information such as this wasn't really reported by the media. What was reported was the $2.6 million dollar jury verdict.
The jury arrived at that figure by calculating the profit of two-days worth of coffee sales, and "fining" McDonald's that amount to get their attention and make them fix the problem.
It worked. The day after the verdict, McDonald's lowered the coffee temperature to a safe-but-hot 158 degrees. (70C)"

Joe Anthony's name is not Barack Obama. When the names are the same I believe it is first come, first served - so in your example, I would keep my LJ, and they could have the myspace account. And welcome to it.
Obama does not own the myspace.com/barackobama url any more than he owns en.wikipedia.com/Barack_Obama.
Debatable. I would expect the wikipedia page to be content about Barack Obama, and the myspace one to be content from Barack Obama. Those two sites work differently, you can't equate them so easily.
The campaign simply wanted the address.
yes, because that's where you'd expect to find, you known: Barack Obama on myspace.
Did not MSFT claim that it is going to make web app building the main thing?
I don't recall them doing that. Does a company that large have a single "main thing"?
Its MS Visual Studio was morphed into something called MS.NET framework or something? C# and managed C
Yes, but so what?.net is for all kinds of apps, web and otherwise.
and ASP server working seamlessly with IE
Actually the new stuff (MS Ajax toolkit) works in the big four browsers: IE, Firefox, Safari, opera.
How many Web Enabling technologies MSFT has peddled so far? DotNetFramework? ActiveX? some dhtml thingie? The new one is going to replace them? Complement them?
DotNetFramework: Compliment, since it is clientside, and ASP.net is server side. ActiveX: replace, in as much as ActiveX is still alive some dhtml thingie: Some action thingy. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Not as many digits as you might think.

Remember, each digit is a 10* order of magnitude.

The BBC hasn't been known as of late for being....uhm....reliable
Phhht. I stopped listening to you right there, since you're either trolling or deluded. That's an extraordinary claim. Where's the proof?
Ok, let me rephrase that: Free software does what at least one person that actually uses it wants. Not just what the guys making it wanted.
.ogg.
yup. That's why firefox is better - it leads the way with tabs, adblock etc.
The problem is in today's world that you don't "order" software. Few companies and nearly no privat person can afford that.
Hm, I've spend the last 15 years making software to order for companies.
it's usually though what the maker wants you to have. Or could you think of any reason just why anyone would want DRM crap in their system?
No, I can't. I don't have nay DRM'd music on my music player. When I rip CDs, I rip to
Nope, free software gives you what you the makers wanted to have themselves.
