Gruber is not at all Apple exclusive, but he is clearly a fan.

I suspect he isn't the only one that got this treatment, though it would be amusing if he was (and I'm sure it will cause a big kerfuffle).

I think that's barking up a pointless, semantic tree. You don't need property for there to be "theft", you just need to deprive someone of something.

If you say "Linux is stupid" or "Ubuntu is stupid" or "FOSS is stupid", you'll get the same response.

They're all opposed to how the government currently operates. I think that's something that most of the country agrees upon.

That lines up with their apparent reporting standards over the past few years, the subject matter doesn't change anything.

I think you're assuming too much about the API, all it does is provide access to the address book so you can do things like create a "invite a friend" dialog, it's not meant to be used for bulk uploading to remote servers.

This seems to be an even shittier re-hashing of the Dan Lyons article (which is itself pretty trollish): http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/14/even-woz-th... I tend to agree with Woz, but his comments are painted with a very ch

Meh, using an environment variable named VERSION isn't too bright, and if it's for a single command then it should be a command line argument. RAILS_VERSION may not be appropriate but it's more intelligent than using an extremely generic a

Fluid is just a browser that opens to a specific URL, there is no way to distribute with it (aside from just publishing a webapp).

From his campaign page: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/abortion/ And as President, Ron Paul will continue to fight for the same pro-life solutions he has upheld in Congress, including: Immediately saving lives by effect

His personal opinion certainly does drive the policy he advocates.

What a cop out. Ron Paul wants to define life as "starting at conception", he wants to do this at the federal level , and he wants states to ban abortion (which they'd frankly have to do if life was defined as starting at conception).

You just said that Ron Paul is not against abortion, but that he is opposed to it.

Also consider that with self driving cars, passengers will likely pay a decreasing amount of attention to what's going on outside of the vehicle.

I find it depends on the environment. If it's a bright room (or the sun is shining in the window) I might go to the light background, otherwise it'll probably stay dark. Related, I always figured the dark desktop UI themes (eg, for GNOME, K

To be fair the real outset was about a decade ago when they created Helix Code (later renamed to Ximian) and started work on Mono.

They're not grasping at straws, they're taking the opportunity the courts have (foolishly) provided them with and doing everything they can with it. It's absurd, but that's the (broken) system we have in place.

They could put "WakeMate" in the headline, it's not the only product Jawbone offers.
