There were similar complaints when this was posted on /r/linux[1]. The only change that seems to have been made since then was in fixing his completely wrong description of the history of Linux. [1] http://www.reddit.co

But doing that will require the obscene political step of a vote of no confidence, a recall election, and a complete reform of campaign finance laws.... for which we need the help of politicians.

I really wish people would call for a vote of no confidence and remove everyone who appears uncooperative. Bonus points: Clean slate.

I rather thought Al Quaeda was the Bayer of aspirin. There are a lot of incompetent and not-really-a-credible-threat terrorist groups with ideologies similar to that of Al Quaeda, including them. A sort of brand recognition for something th

I think the idea is to make MitM snooping more difficult, not necessarily data collection by a third-party. I agree, though, it is kind of silly, knowing that Google has been complying with large numbers of FISA requests.

I don't think it's viewed as a plausible idea by very many. It seems Feynman only mentioned it in passing, so I doubt he held it in much regard. It's an interesting hypothesis, but without a testable and falsifiable theory, i

How "offputting" the field is to women is not, IMO, as problematic as the fact that many girls are discouraged in school, by their teachers from pursuing math or science fields, simply because they're girls. This is an ende

He's talking about forwarding stdin and stdout across the SSH connection to the program that SSH is running on the other end; such that the stdin of ssh is passed unmodified to the program and vice-versa.

But a lot of women (more than you'd think) are actively told from an early age that they are not capable of learning math, and that they can't reasonably have a successful career in science or engineering. This even despite the

Even if that's the case, I can't help but wonder what contributions they could have made to the state of the art if they were interested to begin with. From my (poor) understanding of neurophysiology, it seems to me that women sho

FWIW, I liked KDE's early 4.x builds. I thought it seemed like a major improvement both functionally and visually over 3.x. The only problem is, I've never been able to use KDE for longer than about a day before experiencing major

Gnome 1 was so configurable, that I couldn't get on with Gnome 2 at all. I haven't tried it in over 10 years at this point... So I can't speak to recent changes. There was a lot I actually liked about it [Gnome 1] -- but way

How is LGPL not company friendly? As CppCMS is to be used on the server, there's no requirement to redistribute code, so the redistribution requirements of the GPL and LGPL don't apply to anyone except internally to the company. A
