If quality was the primary determinant in operating system choice, we'd be running OS/2 version 9 right now. Sometimes OSs have momentum, and vxWorks has a helluva lot of developers.

I'm not bashing QNX, but the fact is that the Blackberry faithful seem to have some sort of idea that QNX is some sort of dominant RTOS that dwarfs all others. It feeds into their bizarre religious need to have everyone believe that BB is going to make a comeback any day now.

By now you must know the denizens of /. are leading lights in fields as diverse as biology, geology, climatology, economics and physics. It's a goddamned wonder that half the posters here don't have Nobel prizes in their back pockets.

And yet, generous souls that they are, they still have time to complain about Ruby on Rails. We truly live in an age of giants!

Makes perfect sense, according to the public.

I loved Rolf Harris, I grew up in the 60's watching his show on B&W TV, now he turns my stomach. I've laughed my arse off to Bill Cosby for 40yrs but now I look at him with suspicion. I came across the video in TFA earlier this year and reposted it to FB, now I want to unpost it. These people have made fools of all who applauded them in the past, they were "grooming" everyone, not just the immediate victim. It's human nature to want violent revenge, it's much more civilised to simply have nothing to do with them. So as a grandfather to 3 girls, I say publically ostracising sexual predators for their crimes makes perfect sense, they know the social and legal punishment, they know they will be a target in jail, but they still choose to do it.
