So, thanks for the "simile face", but just because Japan is not the US does not mean everything is hunky dory with Bitcoin in Japan.
That wasn't a simile face. It was like a simile face though.

A graphical programming model is probably going to be too simplistic, but the card example could easily be something like Cards.AceOfSpades.
That's the way I like it baby
I would think licensing wouldn't be much of an issue. Facebook probably maintain their own internal custom linux distro. GPL incompatibility between ZFS and the kernel presumably wouldn't be a problem as they wouldn't be distributing it to anyone else.
I could be wrong though
Am I the only one who LIKES Unity?
Nope. I hated it at first, and held off really using it until 12.04. But it has steady improved and as I've got used to it I've come to like (most of) it.
I'm not emotionally invested in it though - every now and again I'll think I need to switch to something else and I'll go back to Debian with some other desktop, but the others just seem less polished and I end up back on Unity again.
It's not just me either - recent Ubuntu releases have meant the small software company I work for have gone from 5% Linux and 95% Windows to 80% Linux and 20% Windows over the last couple of years. Of the Linux desktops, they are all *buntu and about 80% Unity, 10% KDE, and 10% Gnome3.
Back Pedal = to engage the reverse pedal brakes of a bike to slow down, or reverse on a bike with a fixed cog.
Or as with most bikes these days...
Back Pedal = flail about pointlessly.
Kinda apt I think.
He doesn't need to. There's already been a relatively recent crappy Beowulf movie made.
I beg to differ. Personally I thought Braindead was better than Meet the Feebles.
"Why do people bitch about the NSA and still put their data in "the cloud"
Maybe because it won't matter. If the NSA wants it, they will just compromise your network and the desktops of your sysadmins and managers to get it.
I think I'd rather them just grab the data from the source without installing rootkits in my network
(Yes I know they'd do both either way)
Hehe well done.
Unless of course you're both Lumpy and dgatwood. Then it's just cheating
I appreciated the joke, but on a more serious note...
The media don't get closure, they get amnesia.
Not only that, but contrary to the impression given by popular map projections if you move some optimal band towards the poles you will lose more area than you gain.
And as for the southern hemisphere, there's no new land in that direction anyway. Well not until Antarctica thaws out at least.
I'm just waiting for its new socket library to be called NetHack.
There was a time when Slashdot seemed full of articles about Enlightenment and new levels of graphic eye candy with much fawning over Rasterman.
What do you make of this?
I was going to complain that seven is a prime number, but then I realised that the number in question was actually eight. Doh - carry on...
