To get those benefits, something has to change. I'd rather have it be the one underlying OS than each and every one of the programs that run on the OS.
I'm nearly certain it's an OS/driver issue because her computer ran fine for a couple of days with Knoppix, but broke within a couple of hours once we rebooted into Windows.
Or the video card might be broken and the broken bits are simply not supported or used on Linux.
the girl killed herself after an argument with her mother over her excessive internet use.
it shows that if anyone besides the girl is to blame, it was her PARENTS.
Teenagers have fights with their parents all the time, so you are saying that parents shouldn't be allowed to argue with their teenage children because it might lead to the death of their child? Are you, by any chance, a teenager?
An "actual, usable hash map" does not require "the fastest [hash function] implementation available". Otherwise, there would be very few hash maps in use.
The "Source->Generate hashCode() and equals()..."-generated hash function runs in O(n) where n is the amount of data to be hashed. What kind of collision rates have you experienced with real world data to warrant a better hash algorithm?
Are you really suggesting that a clean, efficient design that crashes constantly because it is rife with coding errors is better than a kludgy mess of extensions and exceptions that somehow works anyway?
The first one can be fixed with a lot of testing, the latter can only be nuked from the orbit.
It's not wrong or misleading. If you have GPLv3 and GPLv2 code, you can mix them if the GPLv2 code's copyright holder gives you the permission. Likewise, if you have BSD and GPLv2 code and wish to retain the BSD licence. The mechanisms may be different but the end result is the same: GPLv2 in itself doesn't give you the permission, you need permission from the copyright holder.
No. Take for example the character I. On my display, the vertical line is smack-dab on the middle pixel, then, depending on the font, ClearType adds a little or a lot in equal amounts on both sides of the line. In your screenshot, the vertical line in I looks like it's 1/4th pixel off-center to the left.
If you're a power user, the increased control and efficiency you get from switching to Ubuntu will save you so much time in the long run that the slightly greater learning curve is a minimal cost to pay.
Really now? I tried a simple test website using Tomcat recently. On Vista, configure Tomcat, run startup.bat, click yes and it works. On Ubuntu, configure Tomcat, run startup.sh and it doesn't work. I spent several hours trying to find a way to get it working without having to run Tomcat as root and I couldn't do it, but did you know that Apache had to be split into two processes to get around the stupid port 80 restriction? I bet they felt pretty efficient working on that.

I think his point is that both are equally likely.

For a CLI, you might even need to read a manual. Horrors!
A manual? I wish. Where's the EBNF for bash? Or sh?
Compare with the instructions for Windows version: 'go to foo's website, download it and install it'. See any problem for Linux?
She's asking to prove a negative in a court of law. Makes my head spin thinking how she's got to where she is.
No, they don't, not without consent.
So now, if you bully someone in a forum, you can be charged with the same thing as Lori Drew.
And this is a problem? If bullying is outlawed, only criminals will bully?

I tell slashtards to get fucked on a daily basis but so few of them manage to do it.
In light of this case I won't point out the obvious conclusion. Ok, maybe I did it anyway, so if you are suicidal, don't do it! I really mean that.
So it's not murder if I shove you over the edge, because it's not the shove that killed you, but the sudden stop at the end of your fall?
Do I know you?
What you're referring to is not DRM but multimedia playback in general. Vista throttles network input to achieve glitch-resistant music playback. Here's more info http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2007/08/27/1833290.aspx that's probably already outdated.
MySQL was sold. In other words, their owners made more money from selling their company than from their company.

you're still a good hash function away from an actual, usable hash map with STL.
Hmm, Source->Generate hashCode() and equals()... not good enough for you? Every decent IDE should have something like that.
Your boss might force you, at the penalty of your job.
So now that we do know, how long do we have to suffer from IPv4?

His point is that how many exploding gas tanks does it take to fix what's wrong with the internet?

Does it look like that to you?

it is commonly understood to refer to software covered by a license meeting The Open Source Definition.
Commonly? What percentage of common man do you think would be able to define Open Source thusly?
Open Source is what is defined by the Open Source Definition.
I'm sorry, but the definition of words keeps changing with use. For example, would you say that Open Source leads to Gay Software?
