From your link, it looks like it was patched as an "Important" security vulnerability.

All true statements, but pointless because you left out at least one freedom: people are also free to complain until Ubuntu does something about it to save their brand.

I think that the submitter wrongly believes that these sensors are going to report back to Apple over the internet or somesuch. Hence the faux concern.

You mean that they're only a part-time patent troll.

There's already a wonderful way to deflect asteroids. It's called Jupiter.

Stroustrup alludes to it in his article, but I think that the point needs to be emphasized. Concepts need to primarily be about making the experience of using and creating templates easier. It needs to be about fixing the sort of error you mentioned.

The problem with the current proposal is that it tried to be too many things to too many people. Concept supporters need to regroup and come up with a streamlined concepts proposal that concentrates on making the language easier and simpler.

There's no long-term viable solution to the problem of chemical waste either -- and that doesn't even have a half-life. One trusts that future generations will be smart enough not to try to drink from the barrels of glowing green goop. And if not, then they've got bigger problems.

They did impeach him. Their Congress and Supreme Court both voted to oust him. Further their constitution says that if a President tries to extend his term (which is what he did) he immediately stops being President.

You're right about the pajamas thing. They should have shot him and saved themselves the trouble.

Good god. I hope I never get sick in London.

No, the Palm users are full Apple customers if they're using iTunes. Especially if they're running it on a Mac. This "1/2 Apple customers" idea is just strange -- it must be like being 1/2 pregnant or having 2.5 children.

Looks like Concepts are out of the C++ standard. There's lots of talk on Twitter about it at the moment. Compiler support just wasn't there.

I've had Windows 7 on my desktop for a while (currently RTC). I really don't notice too many differences between it and Vista except for some superficial UI changes. On the other hand, Vista was more or less a fine operating system. It's not Vista that was shit, it was the IT media that was shit (but everyone already knew that).
