Game development is actually on the forefront of computer technology and a lot of useful results come out of them because games push it so hard. Gamers(who don't develop), however, are just subsidizing this.
The American ballots are also ten times as long because we don't use proportional representation and therefore get to vote for more than just a political party.
Or, since powers of ten are supposed to be so vital to the system, why not 1/ 10,000,000, or 1/100,000,000? Why use seconds for that anyways? A better idea would be to build things up from the Planck units.
It's not going to kill anyone if they saved a word document in 97 and can't open it in 2017. Say that when it's your insurance information or your credit card information in that word document. Information is important in this modern age and if you do not know who has power over your information it might as well be everywhere but where you want it to be.
No, he thinks that a man who has expressed a disinterest in politics should not be listened to on political matters. Does anyone think that's not likely?
What "threat?" Isn't it a good thing for Microsoft to participate in open source development? Not when they threaten to sue everybody but Novell, and claim that there are 235 communists^Wpatent violations in the Linux kernel.
No. Even if Linus was in love with the GPL3, he can't use it because the kernel developers have a GPLv2 only license and can't upgrade it. That being said, Linus' opinions are stupid as can be told by taking BitKeeper's side for revoking the license because Tridgell dared to work on a competing project.
"Don't you see that writing a Constitution is actually restriction, not freedom, and that the only real freedom is the Articles of Confederation?"
Biggest difference between Jefferson and RMS is that RMS never tarred and feathered any of the commercial Lisp Machine producers.
So if I use iTunes in Windows it should be Apple/Microsoft Windows? If I use Photoshop on Mac should it be Adobe/Apple Mac? No. Is iTunes, or a program that performs iTunes's services, required for the use of Windows? Ditto Photoshop and the Mac. Now try to run Linux without a toolchain, GNU or otherwise. Therein lies the difference.

It seemed like a joke to me.
Are you by any chance clinically insane?

He's talking about their mice and keyboards.
Actually, audio playback is more reliable, and doesn't have the reciept problem.

Man, this coulda been so good a joke too... I think you mean: "What type of atom, protium or deuterium?"
Sad thing is, this post is probably completely serious for dada21.
Yes.
Curiosity. Designing a nuclear bomb is easy--Rodney did it in middle school--the hard part is finding the materials to make the bomb.
Many more people than the Halo fanbase claimed that the Earth was the center of the universe.
Do your friends not have computers?
You do realize that there are actual Mac users out there? And that Marathon originally ran on the Mac and people played it?
TiVo does.
Plenty of distros use the term "GNU/Linux". He uses one. In fact, he uses a distro that refuses to ship nonfree software.
If you think that Linus doesn't have a small ego, you know nothing about Linus. RMS isn't the one who compared himself to Oppenheimer.

No, they just use regular bombs.
