Clang IS free software, and RMS agrees. The difference is that GCC discourages proprietary extensions and subsequent lockdown.

I'm not really one of those who criticizes SO that much. They can do what they want on their own website. I'm just perplexed by the trend over all, especially with Wikipedia, for people to act like the internet is a library and sh

Leaving it open is no big deal either. Or would that be the downfall of SO?

I just have my son's name in binary ascii spiraled around my upper arm. It's nothing but ones and zeroes but it gets a lot of compliments.

I was provoked. Did you read the article? It's all about Nazis and not invoking their name, enforced by law rather than manners. I'm contrary like that. So are many others. Expect a Streisand-like increase in Nazi-calling if this

"What I’m asking is, please put away this special situation that has to do with our history." Bullshit, Nazi. You're demanding, and threatening people with imprisonment and $30,000 fines. And if they don't go to jail, or

The thirteenth amendment to the US constitution is also restrictive. It protects the right of people to not be owned, at the expense of our right to own others.

I suspect many of my early memories come from my parents, but there are quite a few that they don't remember at all. Those are probably memories of memories.

I remember several things from before I was 3 (and plenty more after that), but I'm always unsure if it is an actual memory, or a memory of a memory. I was a pretty introspective kid. I thought about my past and tried to recall my chil

Why not offer a link to the Gapps download with instructions for installing them like CyanogenMod does? It wouldn't be that hard to streamline this for novices on first booting their phone and therefore bypass Google's bureaucracy

Yeah, does anybody think this will actually stop, even if the courts demand it?

I think that not censoring is the only logical conclusion here. The government isn't your kids' parents. Keep them off the internet if you've got a problem with it, or supervise them.

That's what everyone on Youtube should do. If no one put up with their bullshit bot takedowns, they wouldn't happen.

Isn't that the way it is in the US already? +95 years if it's a corporate owned work. They just want to extend that to the rest of the world now.

The problem is getting the money to move when you have no job. A hypothetical future tax write off doesn't pay for the gas to get across the country today. Even if I have a good job waiting for me, if it doesn't pay -- in advance

I'm wondering that myself. Mint doesn't normally use XFCE, or at least didn't when I used it in the past. It was always a fork of GNOME. So maybe that's the news? Mint is also pretty popular as an alternative to Ubuntu f

No, if they stop paying your salary, you can stop working for them. If you work your entire career, you don't really have a recourse if they then refuse to pay the pension you were promised. You can't go back in time and choose an
