"Of course using subversion instead of cvs may and will slow down that forking process"
Yes could you please explain how using Subversion somehow magically slows down the forking process? Maybe you think fewer people know how to use it? The only thing that will slow down any forking is the license that they slap onto this, which neither the summary nor TFA mention.
It might seem simplistic but its really a bit more than that: revision history stored for each document + diff utility, multiple controllable views for each document, threaded discussion pages for each document, rss feeds for additions to a project as well as page edits, multiple output formats, tagging, etc...
Yes I used TinyMCE as my editor and I built functionality around it, you can see where I give credit to that project and many others that I used on the Thank You page.
I recently created a web-based word processor with a bunch of features that I felt were lacking in other offerings.
Description:
AJAX-powered web application which serves as a web-based word processor, content/document management system, publishing system, and wiki-like collaboration system
I'd just like to refute your point about Texas Instruments chipsets. Texas Instruments has had a licensing agreement with Linuxant to support their chipsets with DriverLoader since 09/2004. See the press release about it.
Well look, I already told you! I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
And what exactly constitutes a "toy language"? He seems to be implying that PHP is only meant for use as web counters on people's personal home pages. Considering its widespread deployment and even incorporation by one of the web's biggest portals (Yahoo), I feel PHP is justified as a bonafide programming language. If a language gets the job done, use it. Just because it is easy to use/learn shouldn't automatically make it a "toy language", in fact, its quite childish to come to such conclusions. He makes no clear argument for justifing his statement, thus it would seem to be that he's just trying to incite others to retaliate. Convenient, because he is in a position to put himself up on a pedestal and proclaim that [insert language of his choice] is the only TRUE web programming language.
One can only guess that its referring to the post the guy makes about PHP being only a "toy language" because it came from humble roots.. He's obviously grossly incorrect and almost certainly is trying to incite others to challenge his opinion.
Somewhat off-topic but could someone please post links where one could buy native linux games?
I just recently finished the doom 3 demo, thought it kicked ass and immediately tried to buy it.. But everywhere I go only offers the Windows version. Where do you people get your games?!
File extensions: Linux uses file extensions, in fact, it uses many of the same file extensions as windows eg. txt, html, jpg, mpg, whatever.
Registry versus Text Config files. So you think editing text config files is confusing? Ok why don't you go ahead and open up regedit and screw around with some reg keys. Oh you messed something up? I'm not surprised. What's that you say, you used the GUI to configure your apps? Gee, that's funny, so did I. In the event that I do need to
manually configure something (because say something screwed up and now my system won't boot), at least I have the option and at least the text config file will usually have comments explaining what the various options are, I'm yet to see an comments explaining what anything is in the Windows Registry.
Short/weird meaningless names. Ok try this one, open up Task Manager and click the Processes tab. Now tell me what ANY of the things you see are. svchost, regsvc, smss? Right, thought so... Ok how about opening up c:\windows\system32.. Yeah, lots of intuitive, coherent naming conventions there.
Ugly UI. My gnome desktop has a nice, slick OSX-like theme (I'd take a screenshot but let's face it, I'm lazy). WinXP has the Giant Cartoony Bubble Blue Theme From Hell. 'Nuff said.
Batch files vs commands. Last time I checked you could do most anything from the command line OR the gui in Linux. Try installing software or surfing the internet from the command line in windows.
Generic Print Driver. Because hardware vendors refusing to support Linux is, Linux's fault... And coming up with an acceptable alternative to proprietary windows drivers is, a bad thing.. uh huh...
Buy a penguin. You have a problem with a penguin as a mascot? I've got one word for you: Clippy.
Acronyms. Because only Linux el33tists use acronyms. You'd never hear a sensible Windows guy speak of things like: IIS, ASP, MFC, VB, IE, or NTFS. Oh, wait...
Communism. While you're at it, why not just call me Un-American for not supporting Microsoft, Mr. Limbaugh? So remember kids, Not Following The Mainstream == EVIL!!
So to the author of the animation, seriously, grow up. You're obviously someone who tried to install Slackware or some similar non-user friendly distro, got confused and gave up. Therefore, Windows == "best os" because you == "clueless user". Ok so that's a little harsh. But here's a scenario for you, I just built a box with the intention of dual-booting. Fedora installed without a hitch. Only thing it needed were drivers for my wireless card and video card (surprise you need those in Windows too). Put in Windows CD and reboot. The installer starts, then fails immediately. I still have no idea why but at this point, who cares? Linux does everything I need it to. So the moral of the story is, use what's best for you and stop bashing some other os when your os has all the same or equivalant fallacies that you're attempting to poke fun at.
The the exec job and start/join an open source project or something. I mean really, the step up is too good to pass on and there is nothing stopping you from writing code, it just won't be your main source of income anymore. If/when you leave the exec job you've got the bonus of programming experience and management experience.
Let's see, yes.. GTA MADE me go out and steal cars and smash into everything in sight.. and Marilyn Manson MADE me kill small animals... and Kill Bill MADE me run around with a samurai sword on a bloody killing spree.. and Seinfeld MADE me drop an air conditioner out a window onto a city street.. I'm not accountable for my actions, blame those evil folks in the entertainment industry! They're the one's who have so addled my brain that I can no longer tell the difference between reality and fiction!
Without covering windows and guaranteeing an effective mesh cover to create a faraday cage, you cannot guarantee no transmission, only signal degradation.
From TFA: The company also makes a window film that cuts down on signal leakage: A 30-inch-by-25-foot roll is priced at $45.
Yes unfortunately there's a large amount of trash wandering the beaches and boardwalks along the jersey shore. Beware meatballs wearing speedos and silicone wearing bikinis.

Saw this one on Digg a while back, thought it was novel: http://garbagescout.com/

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

I personally prefer Launchy it allows you to launch all kinds of apps and even auto-detects many popular apps on Windows.
What would you say ya do here?

oh no! We better make sure that the robotic time/space bending Hitchhiker's Guide bird stays well out of CmdrTaco's hands!

Sorry North Korea but you don't seem to be in the Middle East.. NO WAR FOR YOU! Iran however....
Yea I had trouble locating 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield as well.
I still want my virtual reality helmet.
I had the same problem except my roommates would eat all the munchies and leave all the healthy crap not the other way around.
