It doesn't really measure how time it would take to replace. Compared to KDE or Firefox code, GNU code is much more succinct and optimally written. I really doubt that that code could be replaced easily in a single pass.

If you pay below par you'll get sub par engineers. It's not rocket science. Good engineers command good salaries.

Unfortunately you can just right click and disable extensions on chrome. Since the exit barrier is so low, I was always able to exit even when I shouldn't have.

I'm also a big fan of swift to-do list. Really well made and simple to use. The lite version is a free-to-use download.

Doesn't seem to be working on my XP SP3 + Chrome 10. I'll give it a try later on my Ubuntu and Win7, if they work any better.

Frankly everyone's life and conditions are sufficiently for one rule to work for all. Personally, I believe in A/B testing life. Do whatever gives you your best returns. Just never stop testing.

I'm not a big fan on GPL anymore. When I create some software I prefer the user of my software to have all freedoms including the freedom to embed it in closed source software.

Contrary to everyone else I actually think this is a smart move. Personally, I didn't find Windows Phone 7 too bad compared to an iPhone. The only thing that Apple has in its favour is the RDF. Nokia needs a differentiating OS, Android is n

There was a phase when most of his articles started talking about his experiments with open marriages, giving out intimate details about the sexual and psychological effects. I was an avid reader before that. Since I was never considering o

Most startups in India worth the moniker of "tech-startup" do know how to program. I have visited (as a potential employee) or talked to many founders (as a potential partner) most major revenue earning tech startups in India and I'd say ev

Obvious to us hackers. I'm not so sure that this would be obvious to a not-so-computer-savvy person who thinks he is just buying a used computer. After all his iphone is locked. Why shouldn't his Mac be?

Not taking anything away from Sir Maurice's contributions but Babbage and Turing were both British. Was there a need for another "father"-title?

To be fair, Swastika is considered very auspicious by Hindus. Here in India, you'll see Swastikas everywhere. Till I grew up and read about Nazis, I never even knew that there was anything negative about the symbol. It's just a symmetric s

It's strange. Most of the movies I use aren't here already. So here's my list. Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096316/ Cinderella Man (2005) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352248/ The Secret of My Succe$s

Personally, I found it the "Jimmy Appeal" banner the most irritating and invasive out of all the different methods they've used. Because of this (negative emotion), it was the only appeal that really affected me. So this morning I was wonde

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I'm sure I'd feel the same way but I must reiterate something I mentioned in another comment, never help even one person who acts in such a way. Information that a particular person is helpful sp

People have down-voted you but I actually agree with your empirical evidence. Most knowledgeable Indians don't really give much back to the greater community. Most Indians (including me unfortunately) consume far far more content than we pr

This phenomenon is probably explained differently. I think this is SEO but not necessarily spam. If they are using their real names, I think these are more likely ego-trips. People are probably trying to flood their names online. This may a

I think a lot of what you say is the correct. I'll just add to that. Most of these "polite Indians" are college students from not-so good colleges (or bad students at good colleges). They are studying Engineering just because of parental/pe

IP based voice services are effectively banned in India for all practical purposes. ( Although banned only for local voice, most software/hardware also have the local voice option so they are banned ). Unfortunately, the big players in Indi

Can't be Mike and Molly, since he mentions 9 years after walking through. It has to be something in the 92-93 period. That would also fit the timeline he seems to be following.

Seems more like a marketing strategy to me. Even newer and unrelated technologies would now be sold under the "Qt" banner.
