To quote another user from Ars:

"the files page has the folder GIMP + GTK+ (stable release) with a last modified time of 2014-11-18. In that, GIMP 2.8.14 is the latest with the 2014-11-18 modification date. The previous file, GIMP 2.8.10 has a modification date of 2014-05-29. (This is just shy of 6 months.) The one before that, GIMP 2.8.8 is also last modified 2014-05-29, and the one before that is GIMP 2.8.6 last modified on 2013-06-24. (This one is just shy of 11 months back.)

So the project was abandoned, but a year later, it's still updating files. And it had three releases in the year after it was supposedly abandoned. The last release was just a few days over 6 months ago, and the project has a history of up to 11 months between releases. How does that qualify as "abandoned"?

No, this is a bullshit excuse Sourceforge was hoping no one would delve into the details to call their bullshit on. There is no other way to put it than they flat-out lied about the abandonment."

So long as the installer, the adware/malware and all other distributed software are all open sourced, there's no GPL violation.

I don't see any open source code for the installer, the adware, or malware.

Hey, Slashdot Media, guess what?

In fairness, a country can have lots of astronauts without having the ability to launch them itself. After all, right now, the *USA* doesn't have a man-rated spacecraft, yet we still routinely send astronauts to the ISS. We just use Russian launches for it.

I wonder if Ishmael (Daniel Quinn) would get published today? Or 1984 or Fahrenheit 451?

Google Play works fine with cyanogen.

Advertising subsidises the services you use. Spam makes them more expensive.

My favorites folder is now so full it is bursting. Folders are cheap and bandwidth is a static cost. Keep them coming. :D

VIPBox and ZMovie are a couple that are rather reliable. Not much beats a little education and Google though.

I wonder why they did not just block search engines? They work just as well, throw a few switches/words and you will get the same result. One site linking to many does not a difference make.

Everybody gets a trophy.

Yeah, the specific question was in this specific post.

The question being how to deal with inheritance for more than one partner.

So far your contribution has been to tell me Canada dealt with it just fine. By not allowing more than one partner! lolololitrolu etc.

Since you seem to have a habit of grabbing the wrong end of the stick very hard and never backing down, I look forwards to you rationalising how you made any contribution to the conversation whatsoever.

Exactly, the IPA and Extra IPA are supposed to be bitter. For a less bitter beer go with a regular Ale such as Pale Ale.

IPA is supposed to be a bitter beer, by definition. And thats exactly why many of us love it. We want a bitter beer. If you dont like a bitter bear than the IPA is not for you. go back to drinking your Bud dish water.

For me as well bitter chocolate tastes the best, really. The common milk chocolates sold taste like nothing except for sugar and milk, the taste of chocolate is barely there. Many people enjoy bitter tasting foods.

Wait, what? Who is full of themselves?

For the record, Windows Phone is reasonably popular in some parts of the world. For example, in India, it's somewhere around 10% (based on sales share there the last few years, and on having just spent a couple weeks in India). As a reminder, there are a *lot* of Indians (though many are too poor to afford a smartphone, even the super-cheap WP8 and Android models popular there).

I'm from Seattle, so Windows phones aren't really that rare around here. I've also seen them in France and, of course, Finland, when I was last there. I only rarely see them in California or elsewhere in the US, though.

On the other hand, when I was in Indonesia last year, there wasn't a single Windows Phone in sight, but I think Blackberries outnumbered iPhones. Android beat both, but it was weird seeing a platform that's a rounding error in the US in second place.
