Shame on CNET and BoingBoing. This is hyperbole and they know it. At the very end of the below committee hearing, Rep. Zoe Lofgren proposed an amendment that would ensure TOR and the friends aren't effected by SOPA. Rep. Lamar Smith, comm

This (Cinnamon) is different than MATE, another GNOME fork that Mint was involved in. As far as I can tell, MATE extends GNOME 2 and Cinammon plans to build an alternative GNOME 3 shell. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=205&

As ugly as it is, even the printf()/scanf() format strings could be improved, by offering a sensible plugin mechanism, which the compiler can understand and use to issue warnings. gcc allows this with the 'format' attribute: http://gcc.g

My point was that I'd appreciate, at the very least, a StackExchange site for this type of question.

Is that so? Are the "benefits of initiating followers into the Blades of Skyrim?" more helpful or factually verifiable than a list of lesser known data structures? http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/41411/whats-the-be...

Fellow Israeli here. I wouldn't call it "a bunch of hype," but I agree that most of us don't live in fear. I object to the word "hype", as those that have experienced terror attacks don't forget them. The fear isn't exaggerated, but the fre

The most exciting part is at the end: Code can now use lexical scoping by default instead of dynamic scoping. The `lexical-binding’ variable lets code use lexical scoping for local variables. It is typically set via file-local variables, i

I don't think Emacs has the perfect approach either. But I would like the option to get under the hood and script any app with guile.

Before I was familiar with lisp, I remember being shocked to see a suggestion in pypy's documentation that everything could just be compiled to lisp. I couldn't understand why anyone would do that . I don't know why lisp failed to become m
