Right, what I'm saying though is that people were willing to stick it out and fork instead of rewriting. I'm surprised a programmer would do that.

I'm not sure about the others, but one of the interesting things is that wordpress grew out of b2. The code quality in b2 was about what you'd expect given wordpress' initial security reputation. I find it particularly interesting because y

The US only has 300 million people[1]. 100 million households is a big chunk of the population. Some quick looking around online reveals that currently only ~29% of the US has broadband[2]. Not everyone needs broadband, etc etc. So this see

Would you consider Linux a successful open source project? I imagine the greatest impact has not been people relaunching "Linux Pro", but people who have built off of it.

Sort of. Remember that WebKit comes from the KHTML/KJS work, so they had a rendering engine capable of taking webpages and rendering them to some degree from the start. Compatibility is loads better now than it used to be, but the web looks

I use it. I'm working on open sourcing it. I kind of worry that the timing for open sourcing it now isn't the greatest, since with the advent of all sorts of commonjs bits, people probably already have their own frameworks. Also, the implem

I'm kind of curious: hypothetically imagine Google had super crazy search personalization... and knew when you were interested in scientific sources in a field versus just the wikipedia article. Would you be happier because your searches ar

This is precisely the problem that created Ice Weasel. The code is open source, but the name "Firefox" is trademarked. The two are distinct.

Revocation would suck though. And I understand you leave your fingerprints everywhere you go, so it would probably be "easy" to steal.

GrandCentral was reborn as Google Voice, so I hope similar things will happen with Omnisio. I imagine Etherpad is simply being folded into the Google Wave team proper though.

Logging is useful for debugging issues that crop up in production, conducting A/B tests, and generally making things work, and work well. There is a fairly nuanced judgement here in terms of how much information one should collect weighed a

Have you seen the full quote? "I think judgment matters. If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engin

This seems like the sort of thing you complain about/discover well after buying the phone though. I think there are things that hurt Android'd market share that totally dominate over something like this.

Even if IE9 supports it, there will be people unable to upgrade. You can ignore them though, as their numbers continue to dwindle.

Not to disagree, but when I see DSL (and other acronyms of its ilk) I treat it the same as any other homonym. In fact, when I read in general I read the whole sentence and parse it all together and not on a word by word basis. I thought mos

I'm curious, do you think Google should operate in the United States? There are laws that could be used to force Google to say turn over your private data. Would not then the same argument apply? On the other hand, the value of being able t

I assume you want to include it in the same page to pipeline everything. Using a script tag is relatively safe because search engines tend not to look inside it, and unrecognized languages are typically ignored. (Though in this case, they d

I believe that this will cause your history ordering to go a bit wonky. Hitting up to get the last item will almost always get the command you last typed into the current window (as it should be, imo), but if you hit enter a few times after

Someone pointed it out to me at least a month ago as well. I'm not sure why it is getting press now... Maybe this is just the power of marketing? I imagine usage was fairly low before people started talking about it.
