The only accident that happened with the self driving car, was when it wasn't being self driven. Just explains your point better.
For a continuous distribution, integration of a PDF over a range [A, B] wrt variable 'x' to give P(A (less than or equal to) x (less or equal to) B) is the same as:
That is, you can just ignore the = sign wherever you want, because that by itself doesn't have any area.
PS: It just looks messy without the mathematical notation.
Gnome3 is probably a LOT more intuitive.
Are you telling me you did NOT search for a shutdown button in the initial GNOME release? I mean, who the fuck presses Alt just to see "logoff" change to "shutdown" (It was the default, don't know about the current GNOME release. I hope they fixed it)
Support your statement with facts.
It's probably got something to do with the boot processes more than the GUI. Try checking how much time it requires for you to boot into a non-X environment, and see how systemd helps (systemd boots into X in less than two seconds, but that is for Lennart Poettering
It sounds scary, but if you can live with - and appreciate, Haiku's GUI, then you can also use something like Fluxbox. As scary it sounds, my shift to Awesome WM just made me more productive.
Gnome at least is moving forward.
Three years ago, I used GNOME because it was so intuitive, my mother could use it. Go back and think about how awesome it used to be.
After building the *drumrolls* for more than a year, GNOME3 was the crap we were presented. There are GNOME extensions made to make GNOME3 look like GNOME2 again (doesn't help, but the fact that they exist tells a lot)
Too bad, Xfce is the closest GNOME2-y thing these days. GNOME2 actually felt relevant.
Footnote: What touch device is running GNOME3 anyway?
Haters gonna hate. My suggestion would be to stop wasting your time over such non-constructive comments, and complete the work you have taken at hand.
It's pretty awesome, though.
...rather than buying startups like Microsoft. Time will tell.
I had to read this twice. You probably meant "rather than buying startups, like Microsoft does."
A fair amount of Microsoft's money is going to wipe out malaria and polio and shitloads of other diseases, on people from nations who will grow up to use pirated software. No wonder the scumbag stakeholders are pissed.
Agreed that PHP needs a major cleanup, but the resultant product probably shouldn't be called PHP 6.
I am thinking more on the lines of having the legacy support you mentioned below and have something like Linux aliases (clean standardized functions that eventually call the murky functions). By this time, try getting all the murky insider functions to follow the standards and have a release even later (5 - 6 years) that standardizes all the functions.
Like when compared with Python, Python 2.7 runs both 2 and 3 codes equally well. It's like a transition release.
I am saying that because think of all the posts regarding PHP, questions asked about it on forums, sites devoted solely to it, and all the SEO shit around it. That'd be hard to replace for a replacement language.
I use it for all sorts of scripting, not just web stuff, kind of like a more string-friendly Perl.
I knew an admin who'd work on PHP for doing his server maintenance. He hated PHP on web based applications. You kinda remind me of him.
That would cause isolating the already established user base.
Like when you consider mysql_escape_string vs mysql_real_escape_string
Also camel case vs underscores in function names. I am no big fan of Java, but having consistency between class name cases and function name cases helps a lot, in a way that you can just "guess" a function name. If you change all of those right now, the already written PHP code will be such a big mess.
Though something like Python did with utility 2to3 could actually be used in the next PHP major release, but I suppose they are too cocky to bring about that change.
...but not everybody has the opinion that everything linux related must be open source...
You're confusing Linus for RMS.
If you see the video, you'll notice that he doesn't stress as much on open source drivers than he does about how Nvidia comes in his/developer's way. If Nvidia drivers aren't of such a poor quality, and the company would be so ignorant of the drivers *while depending on his product* in such a large way, he probably wouldn't be so pissed about the whole thing.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
