That means that users have flagged the story (I'm not sure how many user flags it takes for it to be marked "[flagged]", however).

I'm saddened to read this. I've had their blu-ray player (BDP-103) for many years now, and it has been a pleasure owning a piece of electronics that is designed to not be disposable. Continued firmware updates (for years), sol

I agree. But that shows the key isn't a lack of anonymity, but a larger collection of other factors.

No, that isn't what I said -- you are moving the goal post now from "a lot" of growth, to "holding on to their marketshare". As matter of fact, that was my whole point: Rather than growing "a lot" they may

Will that actually result in growth for Ford, however? Electric vehicle sales in Ford may displace sales of non-electric vehicles; in other words, the net effect might not be more than zero. This would not really represent growth for Ford

I think it is worth noting that the quotes in your comment are from 12 years ago: http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0504/0885.html I don't mean this to say that you are being inaccurate, just th

Thanks for clarifying! Reading your original comment in the context of this comment, I understand how your first comment probably is not what I thought it was originally.

That sort of response, "only uneducated people think...", really shuts down conversation, and is a hindrance to constructive discussion. Whether or not AGPL is 'problematic' is something that can be discussed without ad

Your comment comes off as needlessly abrasive; it reads as something intended to wound rather than edify.

The use of goto in C for error and exception handling is good practice. It keeps the code easy to read, and also provides common code for error and/or exit handling. You'll see this paradigm used a lot in large open source C proj

True, that would probably be the ideal scenario - independent yet collaborative.

by palebluedot 10y ago
I don't entirely disagree, but overall I think multiple independent endeavors may be the most resilient approach. In other words, collaboration may indeed the fastest path if all goes well, but multiple independent efforts may be safer

You have to be careful quoting offer prices. Microsoft's 2008 offer for YHOO today would be ~$46.80/share. It is best to look at market cap to determine value - Microsoft's 2008 offer was $44.6B; Yahoo's current market
