This is quite obvious that sooner or later Apple will upgrade the MacBook Pro line to Merlom. So the only thing Digitimes can get wrong is the exact time.
Probably this is a more general issue than just security. They should take the whole testing process more serious. Having millions of users it is not enough to ensure product quality, even if it helps to some extent.
It's cleaner and faster... a lot faster. No, it does not (yet) have all features I would need but I'm sure they will improve. And yes, they will probably replace SourceForge in some years, the same way Gmail replaced Yahoo! and Hotmail. Did Gmail have more features right from the start?
I'm using Fink and I'm pretty happy with the quality of the packages. And well... there is little alternative anyway... so it's better with DarwinPorts on the scene than it would be without them.
Unfortunatley, it does seem to be hosted on the OpenDarwin servers, so I wonder what the long term plans are for the maintainers of the project. I hope it can continue to exist, as I for one would miss the nice ports style installation and management on OS X.
OpenDarwin was just a host for DarwinPorts. They will just find another host. The interest in DarwinPorts is high enough so that you don't have to worry about them disappearing.

What he says is totally true. I have the pleasure to be a student in a university that uses Debian Obsolete... ar Stable. The packages are all so old (3 or 4 years at least) that many of them are no longer usable. And I'm not talking about... vim... for vim it does not make a difference. I'm talking about thinks like OpenOffice 1.1.3... that does not even support ODF so I cannot even open my documents made years ago. The same thing holds for a lot of programs (things like browsers, instant messagers, gnuplot, many kde programs, etc.). So what I (and lots of my collegues) do is to install the new versions from source in my home directory. And because all libraries are very old... ar. stable my home directory has about 3GB now. I would even use a Live DVD of some decent distribution if I was allowed to do so.
So Debian planning to catch up a little is great news. However, many of you don't realize how far behind they are.
Because you and most other dummies are using a highly insecure operating system! That's why internet viruses still exist! The ONLY solution to this problem is to stop using Windows! Otherwise stop complaining at least.

One more stupid question: Is it free?
What about charity? I mean, if he doesn't want the money for himself, he should find a better use for them.
5-pack is too little. 6-pack would be nicer. Beer for the whole family.
My experience with highly heterogeneous groups tells me that 4 people can already too many to get along in this way.
Firefox extensions are written with XUL, and there are plenty of them.
Support yes. But for both 32 and 64 bit. So if you just bought a 32 bit machine, you shouldn't worry too much either.

Strange, I thought it was the speed of light.

Real applications can be created in LISP too. Do you have any good examples that you can list?

That was still IBM, not Lenovo.

"We've been gathering input on the download system, well, pretty much since it was created."
... decent ... service.
... Gathering input?
... How much "input" does SourceForge need to fix something that is actually so easy to fix?
Don't want to be mean to someone who hosts my projects for free, and is offering a
But, is this really how you call ignoring complaints?
The download system was a pain for a very very long time
C'mon now. How is this better than SourceForge?

What do you find limiting in Subversion?
Not to dissgree with you on the stinking part, but you can link to a download ... like this:o ject-0.10.tar.gz?download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/myproject/mypr
If they would have a feature entitled "Migrate Project from Sourceforge" that would require only 1 click then I would use it.
Maybe the number of licenses will increase with time ... to include at least the ones you mentioned. Did you report the "bug" ? :)

You are right that if there was someone to blame the administrators would be the ones. However, I was not trying to blame someone -- it won't help.
I was just telling about my experience with Debian Stable on the desktop, when one cannot install backports himself.
Not very helpful if I don't have permissions on the main tree, is it ?

Great ... but what about the many people who are afraid of snakes? How is the anna konda going to help them overcoming their fear? Hssssssssssssss ...

I still get an IBM employee discount, which amounted to several hundred dollars.
