Meh, I hate analogies with a passion, but here's my useless rewrite: Calling yourself an Emacs Programmer is like saying you're a Hammer Carpenter. Calling yourself a C programmer is like saying you're a framer. Calling yourself a Ruby deve

I'm surprised at how poorly some of the posts here describe the GPL. GPL - If you give me software, I can request the source. I can edit the source to my hearts content and never show anyone. If I distribute the software to someone else

Your comment excited me because I thought questions would be tagged by Ubuntu release, but that does not seem to be the case. edit: Looks like the release tag is available but optional which saddens me.

No kidding. He wasn't charged with a crime. He raised the suspicions of the FBI who investigated and found no crime. That's pretty much their entire job. Investigate and if evidence of a crime is found, to pass it off for prosecution. I

Afifi said he often travels for business and has two teenage brothers in Egypt whom he supports financially. And that right there explains the entire story. He's being investigated because he's sending money into Egypt.

Ok, so it is very far away from a real IP stack, but it can do the first task of an IP stack: respond to pings. Quit being a douche. The author even bolds it just in case you read the article.

I love all the condescending know-it-all replies here when the author says in the second sentence: Ok, so it is very far away from a real IP stack, It's sad how often posters here miss the point and jump to semantics as if it matters at a

I agree completely. The blog post was poorly written and reeks of the same style of Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. The point isn't to be informative or insightful, but to get the 37signals name out there by saying anything. 37signals has

What a disappointing conclusion to an interesting historial blurb. American shot down lots of Russians because we had fly by wire planes. So Pair programming and stand up meetings are the obvious conclusion. What a joke.

After a few false starts with emacs as an IDE I finally learned it via other uses. I recommend using Emacs for a more simple task. I started reading my mail via Wanderlust (wl-beta package on debian) and using ERC to connect to freenode (N

Vertical farms are a crock because transport of crops is easy. Moving people is much harder. This is why economic centers are densely populated, but can still eat food shipped from 1000 miles away. There is no reason to spend millions t
