Is 20 Celsius twice as hot as 10 Celsius? No. Twenty Kelvin, though, is twice as hot as ten.
This is just flat out false. The scale was purposefully defined so that a 1 degree change in Kelvin is the same magnitude as 1 degree change in Celcius. That is why there is still a 100 degree difference between the freezing point of water (273K) and it's boiling point (373K). All in all, this is some mega fail.
Which means the programmer doesn't have any confidence in his/her product to declare it finished.
The person said "minimally feature complete" not "finished". They aren't the same.
So why would I want to use it?
Because it works?
So, if I search for a password manager tool and find one that's at version 0.35d, I'm wondering: "what is missing from this software that would actually make it a password manager?" Maybe there is no encryption of the datafiles? Maybe the developer still wants to include a print report function but hasn't had time yet? Maybe there is a occasional corruption bug that messes up the datafiles 1 time out of 1000000 saves?
Or maybe nothing is missing at all.
actuially forget that last bit, we'll just end up with empty cans of lager and unsuspecting victims hanging in the sky over the UK.
Wouldn't that be an improvement?
and you can use the source as you see fit.
Which is useless to probably 99% of the users of either the GIMP or PS.
The people of the jury don't (or shouldn't) know anything about you, so probably have no "agenda".
Then you apparently have never served on a jury before. Plenty of jury members have their own agendas and many of them believe that their sole job is to convict people. To be honest, I'd take a judge any day.
I regard a randomly selected pool of 12 citizens more as my peers than I would some appointed judge or lawyer who may have a political agenda to advance.
Because no one in a jury has a political agenda to advance?
I don't think I made myself clear â" sun don't want to license zfs (and various other projects) under the GPL, because it means they lose control over them.
How has Sun lost control of either Java, Glassfish, Netbeans by licensing them under the GPL? You still are apparently not making yourself clear.
While Sun has finally come around on open source.
What do you mean finally coming around? They've contributed to open source for almost a decade.
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
