Any shot may cause a fatal wound. And aiming anywhere other than the centre of mass increases the likelihood of missing. Shoot-to-kill makes sense given these facts. I'm from the UK so I absolutely don't think the police should be

But this isn't access to the single greatest invention humanity has ever come up with. It's a brand that takes its name and applies it to a surveillance monopoly. It's internet.org that's denying people access to the Int

They are not providing the Internet to people who do not have the Internet. They are providing a couple of websites in a walled garden. They are not giving people a useful service that they did not have before, they are giving people a deli

Microsoft is on record as hating the GPL. If that's changed it's not showing in their careful use of the (very fine) Apache license rather than the GPL.

Some years ago I came to realize that someone I was working for was using "Agile" in the sense of the first strip. We weren't at a big company...

I want higher marks than you. The professor should clearly give me them. Well, bring them to me. I can't be bothered actually going to class.

That's what happens when you use VS to develop node apps.

I don't see how it's better. You can send objects over pipes if you want to (in, for example, json format). If PowerShell wants to be the bloated Word-equivalent of shells that's certainly a design objective. I'm sure so

It doesn't mean that in the original quote. Substituting a term of art for a common usage is a bug, not a feature.

You're right, Wittgenstein is distinctly second-rate in comparison to Shannon.

Principle without action tends to narcissism though. If people believe that Software Should Not Have Owners, they should use the GPL.

CC0 falls back to a license in the absence of the public domain, so it's much stronger than a simple dedication IMO. See OSI's comments on why it hasn't been approved here - http://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero

It's a game authoring environment. The example game is from 1977, so earlier games may or may not have been in Adventure style.

It's not a cargo cult thing, it's inherited wisdom borne out by painful experience. Like goto and braceless single-expression blocks they are so easy to misuse that they can easily be much more trouble than they're worth. Sim

Author writes review criticising book for misleading readers. Adds later note inline to explain that he really does know what he's talking about, and any accusations that he doesn't are either pedantic or comprehensively challenge

PPAs as they stand are an antipattern. If Debian brings some order to the chaos of unsupported, incompatible and duplicated PPA repos then that would be a win on balance. But if they just bring that chaos to Debian then it certainly won&#

Socially and server-wise it has centralized them. I do agree about other social networks though.

No it doesn't. If there's a ruling it will create precisely the kind of clarity corporate users want. If there's a settlement it will show that free software developers are reasonable. Either way, it will encourage corporatio
