That assumes that A and B are unrelated. In the real world, complex issues are often related. Especially if they're all coming up in relation to one subject. That's precisely how you build a case about which is better overall for society.
Hell, a couple of years ago, when I moved back to the country, I spent 30 minutes staring up at the sky with my mouth (figuratively) open. It's amazing how much we've lost, and how quickly it can be forgotten.
So long as the same document format is rendered differently on different word processors (no matter how small that difference), there will be an incentive to standardize on a handful.
So long as people expect the same rendering on different machines, in different companies, there'll always be issues. The web had it right from the beginning: it's not the rendering that counts, its the structure. It doesn't matter if the heading is 20pt for your boss, or 50pt, for your other, visually impaired boss. It doesn't matter if the body text is left justified or full justified, as long as it fits departmental document policy.
There are some unresolved issues just with the way zfs behaves
This is a lot like XFS on Linux. There were some very nice qualities to XFS, but at the end of the day, it wasn't designed for desktops, and would happily hose the entire partition if the underlying hardware didn't have enterprise-grade reliability.
You can't truly blame Milw0rm for a person being depressed and committing suicide.
No, you truly can. You can't blame it for 100% of the problem, but without doubt, people who make viruses are preying on others. What outcome to you expect, when those preyed upon are already struggling just to get through the day and raise their kids or whatever?
If you ever seriously think of killing yourself over your job, it's time to get a new job.
Probably good advice generally, but I wonder how many of those defaulting on their mortgages due to a layoff will react positively to hearing it.
The same rule can be applied to mortgages, and, really, any material possession or circumstance. If it can be destroyed, you should be prepared to live without it. In fact, you should enjoy it all the more while you have it: "It's the transience of life which lends it such poignancy", as someone once said.
Perhaps you'd like to explain how calling a library function is not programming new software then?
Seriously? You think calling a library function is "programming software"? So using rundll on windows is "programming software"? Using dcop on Linux is "programming software"?
Sorry, if you want to argue about stuff like this, you'll have to find someone a lot more interested in wasting time.
I think it's pretty clear what RMS would say, and (hopefully) why.
What's more interesting is Bruce Perens' take on it. Bruce founded the Open Source Institute with Eric S. Raymond, but Bruce himself has stated that "it's time to talk about Free Software again" as opposed to Open Source, due to the unintended conceptual dilution that Open Source has been exposed to.
If it's working at all for you, you're very lucky. I've been trying every.deb update for a (short) while now, and none of them can even load their own start page. Or google. Not sure if the startpage is google. All I see is an MacOS=9.x-style and/or AtariST-style crashed icon in the center of the page area.
And as for the "influence" argument if we sustain that to be true, then all person's mouths should be immediately taped-up so their speech doesn't have any negative influence
Or, I dunno, you could just be responsible with your choice of words.

Precisely, a lot is lost to buildings etc. And now they're talking about harvesting the rest, between the buildings, where people with phones are.
Pfft. This is a serious job. 320k floppies are what you want.
Or... you know... you could try managing those documents with a document management system.
Agreed. Closing your heart is not manliness; it's cowardice.
That's nothing. Last time myself and three friends went camping, we all thought the fire WAS lit, until a grue helpfully corrected us.

Excellent. Yet more proof that p2p users have the weight of ethics on their side.
Yes, I know, but I've never called that "free".

I want to know when "free mmos" included micropayments.
So now you're claiming that DLLs are not libraries, and that RunDLL does not call a library function? Grow the fuck up, and admit when you're wrong.
No, you truly can. You can't blame it for 100% of the problem, but without doubt, people who make viruses are preying on others. What outcome to you expect, when those preyed upon are already struggling just to get through the day and raise their kids or whatever?

Um, no.
I suppose you're one of those hotshots who are pyschic, hey? ;)
It's pretty tough to make a digital system that does no math.
I was kind of wondering if strait and straight were related. Very interesting that strict etc. are too. Thanks for that :)
Which amounts to runnign software, not programming new software.
Of course. Can you imagine being a 7-inch android, and straining your neck to look up at a big-screen TV?

There, fixed that for you.

You mean... like some sort of USB mass storage protocol? ;)
