Since what Sveasoft does is clearly against the spirit of the GPL, I wouldn't be surprised if a court would struck down this practice if any of the copyright holders challenged it. What exact problem are you referring to with "Androidization"?

The GPL's intent is to make sure everyone can redistribute the software as they want to, Sveasoft's policy does undermine that.

Technically, the suicide is still caused by the time in the military that way.

Hey, nobody said anything about "at the same time"!

This. There will be more than enough programming in your life to come, so you should get other kinds of life experience.

Also, employers like to see these things on resumes.

Even if I did that, it would be much more of a mess than having a clean "/usr/bin". AFAIK, the length of %path% is limited too.

What I do when I want to launch a program that I know the executable name of is to use Search Everything.

Not really, since you won't find most applications in the %path%.

If you don't let your kids use earphones, you shouldn't restrict how loud they can have their music either. (Within reason)

You don't have to do a full search. Unless the flat is really large, it would be enough to have a policeman stand in front of the open door and make the phone he's looking for make noise (either via the phone location app or just by calling it).

(Why am I even answering you?)

I doubt this -- photos haven't been displaced by videos either.

NTFS-3G supports writing to NTFS. AFAIK, most Linux distributions use it instead of the kernel driver and there's a OSX port as well.

That is true only for cPython, the default interpreter. IronPython and Jython don't have the GIL. As for cPython, you can still use multiple processes with the multiprocess module. Guido claims that this is much better for using multiple cores anyway, though I think that is mostly an excuse.

I'm sure there are reasons to criticize Google's attempts to introduce new standards, but proprietary they are not. The API is publicly documented and Google provides an open source implementation of them, Chromium.

One of the main strong points of the TES games is, in my opinion, that they allow for quite a lot of immersion. Well, about as much immersion as a fairly buggy PC game can give you. I cannot imagine that they will be able to carry that over into an MMO full of 13 year old kids called "FusDoRahPorn131888".
