At the very least, make (and test) an ISO of the CD image, since there was discussion recently about how CD media degrade after ~10-20 years.

I think a lot of the torrent clients already have search built in. Personally, I hope these anti-piracy measures just push stuff underground and people could just organize sneaker-net lan-parties to share content, or allow poor people to se

It astonishes me how riled some people are by this supposed "influence campaign" by Russia, but nobody cares about the "influence campaign" by corporations for Hillary Clinton to win the election ?

this was from 20 years ago. I forgive the author's use of stereotypes. There was a lot of really crappy software back then, and I think he was trying to emphasize the differences in quality and methodology.

that's the Next Big Thing in software engineering. lay off your QA department and shovel the burden on the users, who work for less than minimum wage. Actually, they pay you to find your bugs.

I mostly agree with you. However, there's something to be said for being conservative and not always tweaking things. C++11 is amazing. I'm still working to solidify my knowledge in it and haven't even peeked into c++14 or hi

The thunar-crashing thing was introduced . A few years back it was stable, then sometime around a year or 2 ago it broke. Sad to see a good piece of software take a step back (proper testing should have prohibited that, shouldn't it ?
