You are correct but you are ignoring the fact that you have a large and vocal community of people who vehemently declare otherwise. They claim that there is a 'missing link'. This is the answer to their doubts not the scientific community.

Something I recently learned that is really cool: :<area>!<command> will export the <area> to <comand> and then replace <area> with the output of the <command>. So you can do: :%!sort # Sort t

Take a look at the agplv3. Its to fight exactly what you are saying. It 'closes' the hole in the cloud.

I think it should be noted that Webkit is a fork of KHTML. I think they still cross-pollinate code though I can't say for sure.

BTW: They do distribute iso images. You just have to grab them off the ftp server.

Operating systems, drivers and small embeded systems. I'm sure there are a few others. These also happen to be C's problem domain in the modern era.

Never Eat Soggy Waffles. Point in the four directions clockwise. It took many years of saying this alloud before I had it anywhere near down. I still ocasionally have issues. I also had problems with left/right and the months of the year.

I don't know about all or even most of these colors but a few names to color combos I know from elsewhere. For instance 'cornflower blue' the default, was a color I was playing with the other day.

Parrot has shipped, didn't you hear? Currently its only a mostly api-freeze. It still has some optimization issues and what not but hey its getting there.

Hi I'm 18. I read this article like two months ago. It struck me as important but I moved on. I was thinking about the phrase that stuck with me "Do something hard" and came back and have reread it 3-4 times over the last month. I also rece

Java is strong (while not most 'hacker's cup of tea) large amounts of buisnesses like it. I could see IBM cleaning up some of the less pleasant sides of it and continuing to support it slash push it under the Sun brand. If they were to re

Sun has some amazing engineering staff. They produced such wonders as Dtrace, Sparc, and ZFS. If IBM were to buy them and take the good portions it would be a huge boon to IBM, Open Source and the software/computing community.

Parrot is out but perl 6 is only half way complete. The closest implementation has (warning!: second hand knowledge) passed 7,000 spec tests. There will be an estimated 15,000 spec tests when they are finished being written.

It would be nice be able to zoom down to the point where you are viewing the actual source code.

I'm assuming from reading this that its a 'distro' in which case you might want to get it listed at something like Distrowatch. Other options is to get a news story written on it. You then want that to get posted on something like /. and di

I went and checked out this 'sale' many of the items like ethernet and TV's cost more with the 80% 'off' than to purchase said goods on newegg or other places on the internet. I really wanted to ask the associates if they were aware that fr

I know for myself that a combination of recent years and getting over my Linux-fanboyness has caused me to move Microsoft from ultimate evil to just annoying big company. This lawsuit severly pushes that back. It also makes the people who f

The FreeBSD project has an institutionalized mentor program. So before/when you are raised from just an occasional contributor (someone sending in occasional patches) to a commiter (someone with commit access) you are given a mentor, who te

I payed 13 dollars for a copy of Girl Talk Animal Party. I will admit the reason I payed $13 was because he requested $10 if you were going to download the flaks. At that point he stated he would mail me a copy of the cd in addition if I

Misleading title. I've never heard of Meez before this article and I'm taking that as my friends haven't either. Reading the article it states that Meez overtakes Facebook on number of minutes per visit. Thats not really a good unit of meas

At my last job we worked until the work was done. The problem was that we couldn't start our work until the developers gave us the build to test. Because of this there were days where I might work 2 hours in 8-10 hour day. There were others
