If you RTFS, you will note that basically 92% of Ubuntu packages are imported from Debian. Who do you think maintains them?

Yes, but what is its efficiency?

They did in fact leave in the fragment where you see people carrying what appear to be rifles. They also gave a clear link to the full unedited version, for people interested in the broader context. The editing is understandable, because few people would want to sit through the whole thing, where mostly nothing happens -- they left in only the most interesting parts.

Yours is an oft repeated argument, but I just don't see how you can honestly claim such strong bias on their behalf. While they did choose the name "collateral murder", suggesting anti-American military bias, they provided all the necessary information for any intelligent person to make up their own mind about it. The title was just about the only slanted aspect of the release.

While they could have named the release differently, they certainly did a good job of attracting attention to it, leading to many press articles with more detailed behind-the-scenes information.

Just as you don't read newspapers that seem wrongly biased to you, you didn't have to watch the Wikileaks release. Pretty much all the media used it as a source and offered their own analysis. But this was only possible thanks to the public service of publishing the leak and drawing attention to it in the first place.

All things considered, such a service is so valuable that anyone who supports government accountability should be thankful to Wikileaks, even if they disagree with the apparent bias.

Wikileaks do their best to verify the leaks before publishing them. IIRC, they sent some people to Iraq to confirm the authenticity of the leaked video, before publishing "Collateral Murder", for example. While it's possible that they will make a mistake sooner or later, I don't think that what you're describing is so easy.

I have a feeling that all this is arguing over the colour of the bike shed. It's just not important whether HTML is versioned or not, what's important is that the principles behind developing XHTML2 have been dumped, and instead of a strict, orderly and accessible standard, we've been left with a chaotic, disorganised jumble of hacks developed by people who don't seem to care at all about good design.

Then I guess it will surprise you to know that Wine implements D3D on top of native OpenGL. If Firefox worked better on Wine, it would only mean that the Firefox developers can't write decent OpenGL code, but Wine developers can.

Maybe a better fix for this bug would now be to port the game to other systems using portable free software libraries. Such ports are not unheard of: recently the copyright owners of Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries released its Windows-only sources, under the GPL, into the hands of the community, which managed to relatively quickly port it to SDL/OpenAL (http://7kfans.com/). Now it runs natively on GNU/Linux and possibly on other systems too.

So basically you're saying that using the phrase "epic fail" is EPIC FAIL?

Try switching to seamonkey instead. It has a traditional interface and uses the gecko engine underneath.

I was going to complain that most polls for more than a year have been nothing but free market research, but it should be completely obvious by now.

That recent Star Trek poll was a nice Christmas gift, but it was only a faint echo of times long past.
