Pathological bridge-burner here. Agreed.

I couldn't agree more. The phone is a good device and the OS is ready for prime time.

There's more than one way to do it. If you're thinking about hundreds of threads doing chunks of work, then my comment will not be meaningful but if you're talking about maximizing CPU utilization for a particular task, then multiple proces

You're right, it's just my opinion based on the tone of the article and what I perceive of Wired. I'd change the wording to reflect that if I could edit the post. Also, this was not really meant as an accusation in the sense that I make no

Clearly a paid-for article. Jeff is onto something these days and needs some press. Regarding the down-votes: it's the second time in a week that Jeff publishes something free of any interesting content and makes it big enough to reach a la

My appologies. I still believe it's wrong to call it that way because it assumes too many things. Another way to word it is Force Majeure. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_majeure

You certainly mean bad weather, don't you?

My experience too. But well, it was in the NGO field so my sampling may be slightly biased. Still.

Company time = company property, even in the Netherlands. In fact I don't know of a single country where it's not the case; even more so when talking about developed countries.

In my opinion the "biggest terror sponsor" has to be the US and other "leading" European countries such as my own: France. All recent large-scale wars have been perpetrated by these countries and what's worse on the very name of freedom and

When reading such things, we should try to imagine what Pakistan is facing in its remote areas. The coalition forces messed things up in the area. Why was Bin Laden was in Pakistan? Several Pakistanis regions bordering Afghanistan live in a

Yeah, like we organise a crowd-sourced taboo and censorship?

I think it's also called racism.

Last time I wen't to Pakistan I was pretty happy with it and I'm not even a rich dude. Carefully check how the Muslim world works because it's quite similar to how the Western works: it's a bunch of different countries that share common int

Corruption is everywhere. Pakistan is hardly different. Even in the UK you'll find corrupt politicians or entrepreneurs. Perhaps they are less so (or simply better at it?) but this simply won't stop any time soon. Education is an issue but

Well, back in the days it was pretty much the same thing for C. When someone needed to target a platform it used to mean writing a compiler for the said platform.

I don't get it either. As I said, that's a non-feature. In a typical production scenario, you deploy a specific version of Redis and you don't care if it's outdated or not. That's the tested and production-ready version at Company X.

I'm pretty sure op meant it in an humorous way. I also think it's a weird non-feature. That's certainly the one item of the survey that made me tick.

I guess they made up a new legal entity for that purpose. There are probably legal reasons behind that but quickly, it's a registry which suggest they intend to propose domains under their gTLDs and it's on Charleston Road, just like the Go

Agreed regarding the lock-in factor. They are not the first ones to do that though. Edit: on a second thought, I'm not 100% sure regarding the form factor of hard drives but I once had a Lenovo that had a Lenovo-specific mount on its hard d

Exactly, thanks. Plus, HN is not a FOSS advocacy board. Most here are working with FOSS building proprietary products.

I understand your reasoning yet it doesn't make any sense to me. I hope I can live correctly and die before your hopes come true. Good luck though.

You're right on your last point however the way he initially reacted didn't add anything to the story. It was the nervous reaction of a man who realized the trip he had spent days organizing was being called off because of one individual. H

My experience in countries that are less "developed" is that you'll get any kind of medicine you may need if you're ready to pay the price for it. I'm sure he'll be fine. Passport are simple to replace but Visas simply aren't replaced at al

I host sensitive data and perform backups on my company's servers. We're renting a rack and handle the hardware ourself. All happily running on FOSS. I don't think RMS has anything wrong with that. Medicine has no backup, but you can buy so
