The trick is to get a $1 lease (where the terminal price to buy the car back is $1) and buy it with your personal dollar (incidentally, the local ferrari dealer showed how to set this up, and it is apparently a common practice) Also, to cla

"I wonder if they will be using clang/llvm for static analysis?" From the page: "The IDE will be integrated with Clang Analyzer, so that more than 2000 code inspections and error diagnostics results from Clang compiler would be shown right

There's the other issue of the notice itself. If they decided in March to make the change, how much time did they give customers to decide? Given the timeline, it seems like it was "effective immediately" rather than giving proper ahead o

it's far easier to standardize (xsmall, small, medium, large, xlarge) than to allow for custom requirements for the purposes of communication. Most people don't necessarily know exactly how much they'll need, so its easy to just say "large

RMS may seem crazy but there's a method to the madness. No one accuses him of hypocrisy or internal inconsistency. The author, on the other hand, is hilariously inconsistent (esp given his comfort with Facebook and the "settlement" copout

That's a misunderstanding of history. USD used to be backed by silver and all bills said "in silver payable to the bearer on demand". It was only relatively recently that the practice ended. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons
