Not really. If it was men, you'd say they were assholes too each other.
Stop trying to read more into it than there is asshole.
There are different terms used for people with differences... and guess what no how much you like it, men and women are different from each other... I know this because I Can't pass a bowling ball through my penis, yet my wife can spit out a baby (with a lot of effort!).
Pull your head out of your ass and stop acting like we're all exactly the same and you'll find yourself a lot less concerned with being politically correct to the point of uselessness.
Sneak a push in that now one notices immediately and the ability to notice it sneaked in goes away RAPIDLY and completely as soon as everyone syncs up again.
Removing stuff from git is trivial, and it cleans up the fragments left around for you.
It does require unfettered access to the git database, but beyond that, its trivial.
Quiet honestly 'upfront and transparent' is illegal in almost every case.
They can not discuss the indecent with the general public unless they want this cunt to sue them to all hell and back after the fact for any of the many reasons she can come up with.
Companies aren't legally allowed to spew private conversations for your personal benefit, regardless of how much you think everyone else has no privacy and should share everything.
Contrary to what you think, running/working at a company as 'a boss' or an officer doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, and that includes talking about personnel performance and reviews, disciplinary measures and pretty much everything about the employee relationship.
Its like you guys have no clue what history is... that or you like watching failure repeat itself time and time again. Show me 'community driven' that didn't fail in the first year, go ahead, you can look for a while, we'll wait.
Note: Linux is not community driven, 99% of the dev work comes from people PAID to WORK ON LINUX BY A COMPANY. That is not community driven or controlled.
The failure was the morons who thought didn't stop to think 'if were all making so much money, who is losing it?'
And then someone did. And thats when all hell broke lose, when someone realized that they were about to default on a bond, which uncovered the whole mountain of failure across the industry and a few others that it took out along the way!
Not sure where you read that, but Apple went through this exact problem several years ago . Kids spending literally hundreds of dollars because once mom entered the store password, they didn't need it again for 30 minutes....
After that , they NICELY refunded all those silly transactions and then made it require a password FOR EVERY PURCHASE.
If 7.1 gives a 15 minute window, that's brand new and backwards from their previous direction.
I'm on 7.0.6 now, requires a password for ALL purchases, even 10 seconds apart
dllhell has always been a problem, you just don't realize it because you hide the process behind a package manager and you update all of your software at once most of the time. Since the repos at the package manager get all the software working together and built, you don't see the problem. Its there. Someone else does it for you.
Generally doesn't work when you start using closed source apps on Linux, which people in the real world do.
Or when you need to use an old version of some software and the new version of some library that some jackass (like the gtk team) went and changed function names and class names... because... thats right... because...
Firefox is an app that runs on XULRunner. XULRunner uses no native widgets, it has its own widget set and its own interface definition language, XUL. Firefox's entire user interface is written in XUL. The widget set in code is the same for OSX, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and whatever else it runs on.
The interface only looks different between windows and linux or mac because the default CSS theme for the application is auto detected and selected at startup so the widgets 'look and feel' native, but again - they aren't.
You can make the widgets look like any OS you want, make it act a lot like most other OSes as well, though some functionality is different such as the file open dialogs and such, which I guess you can count as 'widgets', which are actually native depending on OS/features.
Is Qt licensed in a way that benefits Google (or me)? No.
Hence why they are rolling their own.
GPL and LGPL are just too much of a distribution pain in the ass for companies that have real size to them (i.e. targets of raving fanboys and lawyers).
Okay, Google could pay to license Qt like a normal company, or they could just make their own minimal (for now) toolkit... and figure out neat ways to track your usage of it and embed ads in it;)
We've had that for years already, and no, its not all that useful in computer chips. You need very specific directed communications almost exclusively except for the clock pulse.
Still want to know why their 'useful' content delivery platform won't run on my case-sensitive OSX partition... but Linux users don't seem to have that problem.
And no, I don't give a shit that I can make a case sensitive partition and play symlink hell games to get it to work. Its fucking ridiculous that it doesn't support case sensitive filesystems./End Rant>
So some people made donations, then followed all the rules for editing their own stuff... and you're getting your panties in a twist because?
No one is even bitching that what they wrote was misleading. The entire complaint is simply that it happened at all.
Thats fucking retarded, shut up and crawl back in your scumbag, drag others down to your level hole. Slashdot should go with it for posting this kind of crap.
What the fuck is wrong with you people, most of the big donators are fucking editors, these people are 'in to' wikipedia, of course they edit stuff THEY KNOW ABOUT... which is THEIR STUFF.
Unless they are lying, misleading or misrepresenting, then whats the problem? Come up with an actual problem with what they did before you blow it out of proportion.
They followed the rules and aren't a problem, STFU FFS.
RC planes/helis/quadcopters are not drones unless they have autonomous flight systems on them.
I have 2 electric RC helis, 3 RC aircraft, and 2 quadcopters. All of them are R/C aircraft until I flip the switch on the transmitter that puts them in auto mode and they go off and do their preprogrammed course.
One aircraft can be both, and almost certainly are.
And do what? Shoot maybe 10 people... and still be in prison?
Its not like the gun is going to actually get them through the 20 or so doors that are locked from the outside using electronic locks controlled by men who have been trained not to open the doors in a hostage situation?
This isn't NCIS or CSI, all these silly cute little ideas you have and post on slashdot... they fought off and fixed thousands of years ago, slight variations in new technology aren't going to radically change it all.
Not on a scale thats large enough to matter without running a foul of the USG and its related subordinates.
Its illegal as all fuck to jam GPS for many public safety reasons, and jamming doesn't stay contained to the tiny area above the prison.
Likewise, my drone will simply use inertial navigation data if the GPS goes out until it can recover a GPS signal. After an extended period if it doesn't have GPS its set to land, for safety, but it does fine on its own with a simulated failure for several hundred feet, can't imagine it would have problem hitting a prison yard even if they jammed GPS.
What prison have you been in (not on TV) where the guards carry guns?
Whats that? None of them? Because they don't want the prisoners to have the ability to steal a gun? Oh, duh.
I love how slashdot gives all these silly willy nilly ideas... and take for granted some shit you saw on NCIS that in no way actually reflects reality.
Bluetooth is short range, and R/C uses audible signals on CB channel 14 or so.
CB uses the public 27mhz band, only the cheapest of shittiest of RC toys use 27 mhz. Technically its not even legal to use 27mhz for aircraft over a tiny ass size and at a wattage so low that its not leaving your back yard. The 27 mhz band is shared by all sorts of shit from cheap kids walkie-talkies, to cheap remotes for things. You don't use 27 mhz in an aircraft if you want to keep it in the air.
REAL RC aircraft USED to use 72mhz, a band dedicated to ONLY RC aircraft flight. Now days, everyone has switched to DSSS or FSS on 2.4ghz... thats right, wifi frequencies, not 27mhz.
Just monitor the CB band for activity that seems weird, and broadcast something that can knock them down. Whistling into a mic often works. An R/C hobby enthusiast could easily override such a signal, and take control with a much stronger local unit. Any decent computer tech should be able to snoop out a Bluetooth signal, if that's what they're using.
Triangulate on the broadcast before the takeover, and you have a place to look for the perps, while having taken down the drone for analysis and follow-up.
Two birds with one stone, there.
Monitor the CB band all day, you aren't going to here shit happening outside your line of sight that isn't someone else on a CB.
Whistling in the mic NEVER 'worked', you're a liar. You utterly and completely fail to understand how the protocols involved in this stuff works. If whistling 'worked', just holding the transmit button down would have worked just the same. The encoding used by RC toys does not sound like a whistle, its a 50hz 1-2ms pulse width modulated signal. You can't hear it. Ever. Okay, maybe you can hear 50hz, but most people just get nausea from it before its loud enough that their ears can pick up sounds below what most people can actually hear.
Bluetooth is for about 100 feet at most, thats LONG RANGE bluetooth... why would you use a short range radio system for anything you want long distance at? Do you even know what bluetooth is for?
Triangulate on the broadcast before the takeover, and you have a place to look for the perps, while having taken down the drone for analysis and follow-up.

I see the problem. Stop watching CSI and NCIS, the real world isn't anything like what you see on TV. You have no idea how long this sort of thing takes in the real world. McGee isn't doing it in the 8 seconds between people shooting at him, sorry.
Because prisons aren't just locked at the cell doors. And the cell doors... they don't use keys anymore, they're electronically controlled from a guard room. Then they have several more STAFFED checkpoints with locked doors to get through, several processing areas designed to ensure that some prisoner with a lock pick and some smoke bombs and even a gun, can't get through it.
You won't break out of prison with a lock pick and some smoke grenades, real prisons aren't a TV show.
Prisons are designed to keep people in, not keep other stuff out (as much).
Then... then you spend the rest of your life running from some people who are pissed off because you made them look bad. Have you ever had a chihauhua chew you to death? Thats the comparison to someone running from prison, it naws at you. Fear, for the rest of your life, or until you get caught and go back... for longer time.
Or you can stay in prison and have potentially a better life than you had outside of prison, and drugs are easy to get in...
My drones are fully autonomous. It needs no base stations, just give it gps cords, take off, switch to auto mode and go home.
I've tested flying to destination, drop package and return to base. Works like a charm and for $500 it could carry a few grand worth of more expensive drugs. Probably not a cost effective pot mule though.

Most of it is going forward, if you read some of the links you'll see that very thing discussed, converting native widgets to WebUI where possible.

You aren't coming up with anything new.
My glider is silent when the motor isn't running and I have absolutely no reason to land if I'm just dropping off a package.
Its called 'dropping' off for a reason.
Considering my glide slope is something like 150 horizontal to 1 vertical, I can travel a LONG ways silent with just a little altitude extra.
Not on a scale thats large enough to matter without running a foul of the USG and its related subordinates.
