All the drama started when microsoft bought github. And I don't think you're right:

Firefox's market share was already bad enough before XUL was dropped. If anything, you could argue that keeping XUL for that long took market share away.
Same here. I dread the day it dies and I have to choose something else.
Yesterday some of my friends were taking pictures and were particularly praising the small live video thingy taken together with the photo on iOS and I simply thought about what else they have been missing these last years (two and half, I think).
I agree with you.
It's understandable that people hate xml (ever had to deal with namespacing issues?) but I don't get why people change to json and try to reimplement xml with it.
Actually, he's wrong. The soft limit was 260 and now the OS removing the limit in some builtin applications bringing it back to the native limit which is around 32700 characters (you can test 7-zip, for example, in windows 7: it won't have the soft limit).
The 4095 limit he's talking about is actually linux's.
As far as I can tell, this Ubuntu on Windows is completely useless for me because (unlike Cygwin) the environment does not have access to the full filesystem of the Windows boxes.
It does although there are some gotchas with regards to permissions (same with cygwin). And the next version will let wsl interact with windows binaries.
This is dicussed in the documentary: The Measure of All Things. Relevant section linked with the timecode but the whole documentary is on topic of this post.
The reference value is actually 1/c seconds. You only ever need it if you're doing math with the speed of light and the complexity is either there already or it makes it easy to co-relate with other c terms in equations. It's actually much simpler than using inches.... Try it.
If the connection is metered you should've configured it that way. For wifi, windows assumes it's not metered but you can change it.

Chromebooks are much more cost-effective in this use case.

Ironically, Gnome's VFS is GPL and therefore less free.

It's been there for a while...

Way ahead of you: http://json-schema.org/
I'm sure there's a xslt equivalent somewhere.
Use Ghostery if you are worried about tracking.
And don't forget to disable ghostery's tracking.

It was in the release notes... You installed it if you wanted to. Try again.
You're talking about an alpha-quality build.... ROTFLMAO indeed.

But they scare developers away with their app store clone and their mysterious release cycles for the o/s and sdks.
Hmmm.. Once you code something it's supposed to work for many subsequent OS versions. How is that scary?
They might have sold 50,000 units. It does not matter much.
Do the math: 50,000 * 8,999 = almost half a billion $. I think it would matter a bit.
Good advice. Poor OP is following up comments and not getting much help other than the usual drivel.
He's the OP.
MAX_PATH includes the null terminator.

So is skype, doesn't make it more open.
Hangouts is also a locked ecosystem.

It's in the same place since at least Vista. Probably earlier but I can't remember.
