I'd prefer to donate to a central organization aimed at abolishing software patents in general, rather than donating to fight one specific - albeit aggravating - instance of software patent abuse.

I disagree. Speaking of PBS Nova specifically, the shows are 56 minutes (give or take 3min) long once commercials are removed. I know this because I download my media and the commercials are removed for me so all I do to see how long a sh

This is sad indeed, however as someone who downloads my media instead of subscribing to advertising-infested cable, I don't think this is going to impact me much more than reducing the length of the show by a couple of minutes. You certainl

I'd like to hear more about what is being done on the packaging front, specifically Rubygems v Debian. Last I heard, the Debian folks weren't too happy with RubyGems because people who install RubyGems can upgrade gem dependencies without u

In order for something to be a trade secret, don't you have to protect whatever 'it' is? Maybe I'm missing some key aspect to PayPal but what part of their tech/system is unique to PayPal, such that they can claim it is trade secret? I mean

This makes me wonder if the way linux repositories are done is the better way - take comments out of the repository altogether. What's wrong with googling for "reviews of X" to find a review? Is it worse than the one-sided view the existi

I'm not convinced people will start ignoring these kind of shenanigans. I think about how long Windows users have been falling victim to social engineering attacks and can't help but think that this is just a different flavor of them - if

Rogers users up here in Canada-land are having the same problem as Comcast users. I have no direct TPB access right now. I thought it was just more regular TPB downtime except this time it's continued for several days.

IMO the "Sharding versus Replicating" section sounds a little bit like someone is trying to sell me on a centralized VCS after I've already switched to and enjoy DVCS. And further down in the same section, it sounds like the author has conf

I'm a supporter of the FSF and free software but I agree that discussion is better served without refering to conspiracy theories. It's much harder to be take seriously when your seen as a crackpot. I'm a fan of Stallman and his past achie

False dichotomy. Also, github puts the author name before the project name for namespace reasons, not for egotistical ones. At least do your research before bashing them.

I've decided that when I resign from my position, I'm writing my resignation letter on a cake. Whether or not I smear said cake all over my employer's face, or share it with him at the table is a different matter; decided by how well s/he t
