I've been known to repurpose meetings entirely on the spot to deal with the fact that there are one or two who think the project goals and schedule are not suitable to 'their' needs.
If their needs don't affect the project, why are they in the meeting?
If their needs do affect the project, why are the project's goals different from their needs?
I am not going to spend all day doing research for a slashdot post.... But my point stands that the GPL is to strict for my personal liking and I would feel volnerable legally if I were to develop under the GPL.
Why let pesky facts get in the way of your feelings?
The license is complex enough but to have an orginzation (FSF) Sue me for misusing the GPL if I did miss a rule, just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
That was Coverity. We've found the results very useful for Parrot. You have to be smart about how you interpret the results and how you fix actual bugs, but their tools did reveal many dubious constructs and actual bugs.
That part doesn't bother me. It's all the yapping that gets in the way of giant robots fighting. If I wanted to see giant robots not fight, I'd go downtown and look at all the construction cranes. I want to see giant robots fight!
If I were in your position, and I believed I was right, my response would be to make all such LDS documents available to the public (so long as they don't contain private information about individual people). I'd make things as open and transparent as possible to the outside world.
Linux sucess was the fact that it was a free(as in beer)/stable Unix Clone with a good development support structure.
Nearly everyone I know who used or administered Solaris, for example, used the GNU tools.
Also, Linux is just a kernel. Without a userland (or at least a C runtime library), you can't use it for general-purpose devices.
If you have a GNU/Linux system, remove every project created or maintained by the GNU project. Then reboot. When you have it working, you can call it whatever you want, I suppose.
If there really is a Flash plugin for PPC/Linux, please deign to enlighten me. I'll happily admit that your research skills are much better than mine, as even Adobe seems to be unaware that such a plugin exists.
Portability is not a question of being available on your platform of choice. Portability is a question of things working wherever it is available.
That's a very unique definition of portability, one which suggests that that Active X components, for example, are portable because they work on every platform where Active X is available.
The problem isn't your hardware. The problem is that they don't yet support your browser of choice. If you ran a 32 bit browser and changed literally nothing else, it would run just fine.
Adobe Flash doesn't run on my PPC/Linux box because Adobe doesn't support my browser of choice? If I ran a 32-bit browser on my PPC/Linux box and changed "literally nothing else" (including the processor), Adobe Flash would run just fine?
I know what "rigorous" and "portable" mean. Check Adobe Flash Player system requirements yourself; all you need for Linux is a "modern processor" of 800 MHz or faster. Somehow that doesn't include my 1 GHz PPC processor and my 2.16 GHz 64-bit Core 2 Duo.

You have a point. The biggest problem with a seven year old girl wearing a helmet while driving a car is not the helmet.

Has this ever happened?
Yeah, you probably should, since we have a large test suite and we do our best to keep it 100% passing on all supported platforms.

Some does. Science Fiction doesn't have to be set in the future, though.
What, all the string theory crackpottery just now disappeared? Neat.

I wish Michael Bay movies were only three minutes long!
If by "science" you mean the experimental method, who was the 16th president of the United States?
I'm sure Pope John Paul: Better than the First John Paul knew the difference between the Bible, Paradise Lost, and the Divine Comedy.
... including the Golden Plates?

Are you suggesting that nothing has improved since the formation of the FSF in 1985?
String concatenation in Perl 6 is now infix ~, just like string conversion is always prefix ~.
His points had the barest, most tenuous connection with reality. The proper responses are either shunning or mockery. I did not choose shunning.
It's the only way to be sure.
Did you have to shower after writing this? Did you at least burn the keyboard?

I find that somewhat difficult to believe.

I can agree with that.
That has to be sarcasm, right? Satire? Sardonicism?
I am the human. The software works for me. I do not work for the software.
That thought made me shiver. You're a bad person for even suggesting such a situation could exist.
