Who's the best game programmer? It would be easy to say John Carmack, but there might be even tougher guys lurking somewhere inside Ubisoft, Rockstar, Midway, Dice, Sega, etc..?
Ok, so let's walk this through then. This is what he wrote:
Problem with proprietary 'free' offerings You never know when they will get killed. Same goes for Free Sharepoint, Free Office 365, Free One Drive etc. Get off them and breathe free.
Please tell me how that is related to open source.
Hey, thanks for the replies.:) They enabled me to see various benefits which I simply had not thought of. It might not be only about some wanking around cool LCDs.
So did people riding bicycles, at first. So did people talking to a phone. So did people talking to a hands-free (LOL a guy talking to himself). But they were fine after people got familiar with the concept.

You only can achieve year-long battery lifes with devices that just show time and don't do much else. It would be utterly impossible with an Android smartwatch like this, unless great advancements happen in technology. But indeed the current 1 day-battery life of that thing is kind of crusty. Even the manually-winded mechanical watches have more runtime. And to think about how the battery life drops even more over time as the battery ages (although modern Li-Pol batteries are increasingly better in this regard).
With rigorous innovating and careful engineering we could push the battery life from the current 1 day to 2 weeks.
Anyone can simply announce ownership of a part of the code and claim it is stolen property. "Hey, I used a for loop once and that looks a lot like mine."
I have one neighbor that for some insane reason named his after his address. 123 Johnson road
He is just politely revealing who is the owner of the station. In this way it can also be seen as a responsible thing. If that particular station is causing some kind of problems to others, it is easy to contact the owner to discuss about it.

Exactly.

Well, that kind of foam-mouthed angry comment posted as AC isn't any better really.
PC-BSD has also dropped x86-32 support.
Well, as the proverb goes: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today."
Now might be the point to start paying attention to the quality control of the articles. We're already seeing too many typos and editorial mistakes.

You know what was a really good Microsoft offering, for its time? Microsoft Dinosaurs. And I liked Encarta as well.
Microsoft Dangerous Creatures for the life! Indeed, in general those multimedia CD-ROMs produced by Microsoft were very well executed.
He wasn't talking about source code. He was speaking about free (gratis, not libre) offers delivered by a commercial company.
Is there a GNOME+Wayland distro that I could test today? Would be interested.

Sure. Sounds like a great way to add a lot of unnecessary complexity to make the system more unreliable. Is the extended view really worth this?
C'mon mods, that what pretty good one.

Well, that is not going to happen. Kthxbye. See my signature for things that we will actually have by 2045.
I use Twitter for this purpose. A lot of news sites have their headlines integrated to it (including @slashdot of course).
They are actually connected to the Internet. The lights can be controlled through a smartphone. The bulbs use WiFi instead of Ethernet.
:D
The way it works is that they bundle a cool app to go with the product, which needs some server-side work to process your data.
This creates them a nice trojan horse to carry your data to be datamined.
If the app is convenient enough to use, it quickly trumps most people's concerns of privacy.
Sadly, I expect this incident to be forgotten over the weekend and cause no harm to GitHub's reputation.

No, this is not possible.
