But, Marc Andreessen has actually done things before. Siegler hasn't (so far as I can tell) actually produced something of value other than his writing (which is, based on this discussion alone, of questionable value). If Siegler had built

I agree. Every time I see that he's now a part of something, or been placed somewhere that should warrant some form of accomplishment I try to see what exactly he's done. The only thing I can find is that he's written a lot of rather biased

It comes with a gui? There isn't really any huge advantage (at least for gVim, I run linux...), it's just nice to detach it from the terminal. Mostly, I can change the window size without it affecting the size of my terminal, and add some e

I would hope it's done in JavaScript. And, based on the image uploading stuff, (you type something like `!image` and the preview adds in a drag-n-drop spot for an image), it looks like it.

Every time I've installed Cinnamon on Ubuntu (the main one, not a different flavor) there have been integration problems because Ubuntu has a bunch of patches on regular GTK stuff and hooks into it.

That's not entirely true with Ubuntu. With most other distros, yeah, you don't need to change everything else to change a DE, but because unity integrates with everything , which means that Gnome and Cinnamon don't work well with ye-standa

The implication that people care about GNU Hurd amuses me. I have nothing against it, but at this point, it's fairly clear that Hurd lost the kernel battle. And I thought the same thing (about it being Hurd).

All of my computers are named after characters from Dune (thus far only the first book). Three of them were named after one character, with multiple names.

But was it really the puppy? There was a lot more text explaining what was involved (okay, not all that much, because there wasn't a lot on either, but significantly more) on the puppy version. It could just have been that you described wha

Wonderful. And that's why git's awesome.

Git isn't a spoof of get, Linus named it because he's a git. Or at least that's what he said once.

I've never had a problem with pacman breaking things on install/updated except for when I attempt to use unstable repositories. You can get the exact same font aliasing/hinting, you just need to change the hinting settings (if you're using

Do you not still buy and sell licenses? Sure, it's not the product itself, but a license to use the product, but you're still buying it (it in this case is the license). Sure, maybe using "license this product" instead of "buy this product"

You're working on the assumption that one of the biggest fallacies of open source software, which is that anyone can make any change they like and it'll be rolled back into the main branch. Just because it's open source doesn't mean that th

I know. Hence the lack of true, pure socialist countries in the world today. It also requires a post-scarcity economy. Which, supposedly we could achieve if we worked towards it, but again, that human thing keeps us from doing that.

It's called true socialism. It's a perfectly viable political system, provided it's correctly setup.

I've said nothing about distribution. Only packaging. And specifically giving people instructions on how to do it themselves. Which isn't illegal. Nor is it particularly endorsing something illegal. > So you can say "the only legal way

Legal protections against rebundling aptitude? Something released under the GPL? Which means everyone has all of the ability to easily change the sucker. If you're packaging something as a deb, you can potentially bundle other things, but

Than I present my own research (sometimes referred to as usage): it's the same thing in Windows 7. Sure, that wikipedia article doesn't include installers that aren't the official one. But finding the official one can sometimes be a ridic

If that happens, all someone needs to do is repackage Debian's version of aptitude for Ubuntu. Or an older version from Ubuntu. Really, this is a non-issue on Linux, because either 1) someone will just "fix" it an release their alternative,

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a public list? I think a big reason it's on the public list is because it should be. Linux is Linus' baby, he has every right to yell at someone for doing pretty much anything. And in this case, it

Yes, but they don't have anything useful or available for the outside world that you can't get elsewhere online (like chrome build tools and such). There really isn't a reason for them to release it externally. Just use Ubuntu LTS if you wa

Googlers use a slightly modified version of Ubuntu LTS releases ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu )... Well, not exclusively, if I recall correctly, they get to choose Goobuntu, Windows, or OS X.
