You can update the software without pulling it down. In order to use the update you need to restart, but there's a large difference between restarting a service and restarting an OS. It isn't really analogous.

perhaps, but he was referring to the GPL, and this particular discussion started because one poster asked roughly "wasn't he being accurate"? And the answer is yes.

weird how the GPL shows up as the most popular license by having double the marketshare of number 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft#Viral_licensing " Craig Mundie remarked, "This viral aspect of the GP

ASP.Net is not going anywhere, perhaps you should read a little closer before you respond.

ASP.Net is going nowhere, the abomination known as Web Controls is on the way out (and good riddance). It will never go away, there's too much code and money involved, but it won't be used for new projects.

He directly referenced Linux which is famously under GPLv2. You can argue with this wording if you like, but his observation is spot on and it's obvious to those are not unduly biased that he was speaking about the GPL and the license

I disagree, Powershell is basically a way to script .Net. It has provider so you're able to hook into functionality throughout the OS, but Powershell really wants to be a first class .Net language (and it is).

his point remains. being forced to run 2 servers so your server doesn't go down once/month is a bit ridiculous. No, it isn't untenable, yes you can work around it, but that's a problem that shouldn't need to be wor

I honestly don't know too much about Java and its technologies outside of a general understanding of it. I specifically chose to stay out of the Java ecosystem years ago because I disliked the Java community as a whole. They had a re

I can say I'm just oblivious enough that I probably wouldn't have learned that lesson had I stayed doing the normal work thing. I freelance so I have my own set of politics to deal with, but the change in perspective is enough to

I'm interested in this, are there any similar solutions for windows and/or linux?

most hex editors will show you the ascii value for hex that falls within the range of ascii, which can be useful to humans.

My experience with a lot of 'Javaheads' is that they get a little too emphatic about Java's optimizations, most especially the claim that it can out perform C. BUT In this case, to be fair, I took his statement to include H

Initially I disagreed with you until I thought about it for a second and realized Hex was technically an interpretation as well. You're mostly right, although I do think calling hex an interpretation is maybe not completely accurate.

I haven't been happy with GMails UI in a very long time. I've moved onto fastmail in part because of how much I started to dislike their UI. I've been on fastmail for 11 months now and couldn't be happier.

It's worth saving up the money to fix the teeth. It's less expensive to pay for the work yourself than to avoid the cost.

I feel like they butchered the character by making him 'angsty', and I personally hated the way the 3rd season ended. It exemplified everything I disliked about the 3rd season. The opening scene for the season 1 had me hooked

season 3 of house of cards is trash imo. The rest was brilliant, and it hurts. I went from watching characters with an actual goal struggling and overcoming obstacles to meet that goal to watching a soap opera.

exactly. It's a well understood problem which means you can focus on other things.
