I can understand why some projects close bugs due to inactivity, but I was a little surprised to see that it was closed after only a month of idling. Asking for a code sample test case in this instance is inappropriate, and IMHO is a lazy s

I saw a post on here just the other day with a similar headline to this one. When I clicked on this one, I was honestly expecting it to be a repost of the previous article. The tool talked about in the previous post was based on Jekyll and

I read "Lobby conglomerates who only follow their agenda to push the profits higher" and instantly pictured an executive somewhere rolling his eyes as he reads that. I understand the feelings disgust with the current state of the system, an

So.. they hate Android. But their explanation of why is to point to some blog post which by my view concludes that Android is bringing 'perfect competition' to the marketplace. Soo.. I presume they are against that, but what's funny is th

What tickles me in that special way is the way this 'conversation' has gone. Them: "We've got an awesome new idea, 3 strikes policies. 3 accusations, and your out." Us: "Um, well actually it's not fair to have your internet cut off based on

I don't like that OTR allows the person your talking with to deny that they said something they said. I'd rather have pgp signed/encrypted chat so I can prove who said what. I may be misunderstanding but I think OTR sends the encryption key

This whole escalating security situation has me thinking that IT security is heading down the same path as the War On Drugs. I wonder if ten or twenty years from now we'll see petitions to legalize hacking tools after we see a resurgence in

I was frustrated to find that Kickstarter is US only if you want to use it to raise funds, though they happily accept money from people outside the US. No personal experience myself, but the Diaspora team would have some experience with it.

I get what you mean about learning from other people, but I don't think it's as black and white. I think working on FOSS projects with the community can be just as rewarding and educational as working with someone in a similar scenario in a

I think this problem was one of perception. I think too many salespeople were pushing Netbooks as "cheaper smaller computers that can do anything a desktop can except gaming", which to most people translated to "cheap and small windows inst

Honestly, I'm tired of the way companies try to market Internet to the masses. Too many people/articles focus on "1Gbps, blazing download speeds". Yeah, for a day, maybe . With bandwidth caps, you can't actually use your connection at fu

I think one of the biggest reasons your being down-voted is because your confusing the act of creating solutions to problems with what lock-in actually is. Arguments can be made that because it costs more to switch from one platform to anot
