  4. How about that TCP bug on Linux Kernel 4.6 Has Reached End of Life, Users Urged To Move To Linux 4.7.1 · · Score: 1

    Is that fixed in 4.7? (referring to this https://linux.slashdot.org/sto... )

  5. Is mathematics invented or discovered? on Interviews: Ask Mathematician Neil Sloane a Question · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In other words, is mathematics a fundamental part of the fabric of reality (i.e. Platonism)? And are concepts like zero, infinity, imaginary numbers, and so on, actually real objects? Or do you think mathematics is mostly a tool created by humans out of convenience (akin to language), and numbers and other concepts are just abstract ideas in our brains?

  10. Re:MIDI is Great! on Guitar Hero Hacks · · Score: 0

    MIDI is pretty awesone, but on the other hand, sometimes I feel like it's getting old and deprecated-- it was invented in the 80's, just as music devices began to interface with computers, and musicians couldn't have seen where electronic music was going from there. I have no idea what we'd replace it with, though.

  14. So... on Online Music Stores Compared · · Score: 0

  18. Hey, why not on Microsoft Continues Anti-OSS Strategy · · Score: 0

    try reading the interview to get the guy's name right?

    Microsoft's General Manager of Platform Strategy, Michael Taylor...
