Nigel Tufnel: These mice all go to eleven. Look, right across the treadmill, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most mice go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's more resistant? Is it any more resistant? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one more resistant, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most scientist, you know, will be chasing tens. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your lab. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One more resistant. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten more resistant and make ten be the top number and make that a little more resistant? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
Well, of course, since Esperanto is just as easily learned by people as ODF can be taught to computers...
Universally spreading Esperanto requires an effort from a lot of governments around the world to promote it and teach it; universally implementing ODF requires some programmers, some coffee, and a couple of months, to code a filter that can be then reused in future versions or other applications.
Don't confuse intent with possibility of realization.
I was not talking about the don't-care pirates when stating my anti-piracy idea. I was referring to the humble user who needs (or think they need) to use the software, but can't afford to buy a licence. Heck, they may be willing to pay $50 or $100 for the software (even for things the Gimp can do for free, but the average user knows what the average user knows), and they would if they had the chance.
I think it's about time to coin a new term; Googlation: n, the virtual necessity and eventual realization of migrating every single desktop application to the web.
Taking into accout how expensive Photoshop is, I wonder if this is a move to avoid software piracy (or at least mitigate it). Besides, anyone willing to pay for a full Photoshop license will also be buying a machine according to its needs; I just don't see how it can work (will it be a JS application? Flash? Not-hellishly-slow? Will it run remotely or locally? How well will it behave when treating large images? And so on).
Whining, complaining, asking, begging, suggesting, recommending, or giving arguments in favour of an option over others doesn't make it forcing anyone to choose it. Not respecting some else's opinion doesn't, either.

I've tried gnash, and I can only conclude it's incomplete. I use the knash part and it sux both ends. YouTube works when there's a full moon and the day of month is prime...
The binary codecs will initially support x86 and x86-64
They also provide a complete list of the supported codecs. I hope that, though I'm never touching *light with a 10-foot pole, this move makes Adobe finally release a x86_64 version of Flash (yeah, we all hate those banners and such, but being able to watch youtube videos without hacks like nspluginviewer would be quite nice. Besides, my nspluginviwer-ed version of Flash SUX at playing real time streaming video...).
I realize that a community blog by definition will always emphasize the established majority opinion about any given subject. But it seems that this tool might strengthen majority opinions beyond what is reasonable. If you happen to post a comment by adding valid but unpopular dissenting points of view, and the other contributors are sufficiently boneheaded, you lose karma (or whatever the tool calls it) for no good reason. This might then easily develop a life of its own, and you are screwed.

Yeah, at least of we got in LoCs per second, we'd be getting somewhere...
I hope not to get moderated redundant, but I'd like to thank you as well. Brilliant.

When viewing source is outlawed, only outlaws will view source!
Amazing, indeed
Noodly Appendage, you infidel!
Be a shame if anything happened to it...

How and why would you use more instead of ed??

Man, I know. I'm sorry if you missed the joke.
