working magnet links

That's by definition. A magnet link is hash of the data, in this case a torrent file, not the file itself. TPB switched to magnet for new torrents in 2012 to save space and increase resiliency. Furthermore, torrent clients search for data in the DHT/PEX swarm instead of relying on trackers. TPB shut down its own tracker in 2009.

In short, The Pirate Bay will live on for as long as its users want it to.

Not to mention seamless upgrades between versions, and even mixing/matching packages from different archs for advanced setups. Freely up/downgrading stuff with DEB-based distros is a bliss. When I learned that RHEL historically didn't even support upgrades between major stable versions I was awestruck (they seem to have made improvements for this in 7, good for them...)

I recently acquired an Asus Maximus VII Hero (Z97 chipset ofc, paired with a Devil's Canyon) and everything works out of the box with Mint 17. Not sure what you're raging about.

You mean anonymously.

Amen to that. If only it had more ram+storage, I'd still use it today.

Oh wait... I *do* still use today! :D

I'll skip voice until voice recognition is done entirely in the phone, thankyouverymuch.

Those are obsolete phones. They're several generations behind the likes of Galaxy S5. And as others said, they're not as available as one might think (which is logical given their age).

FWIW, I'm *still* holding on to my Motorola Milestone (aka Droid). And altough it's obsolete in every other way, I absolutely love its design. I would shell big bucks for a Galaxy S5-class slide phone. Hang on, brother.

I know that's supposed to be a joke but, just in case, it should be pointed out that the ruling only applies to queries consisting solely of the person's name -- adding keywords is fair game.

But then they couldn't use donations from LibreSSL to sponsor OpenBSD, which for them is the same project, even if 99% of the donors don't care about it, not to mention their basement DC.

Realtime simply means that certain operations are guaranteed to complete in a given timeframe. This is harder than it appears.

No need to get so upset. Surely not upset enough to defend Apple and only eat two lunches today! If you read my post closely, you'll notice I'm not attacking Apple. All I'm saying is that 1) it isn't factually impossible like GP stated; and 2) The fact that Apple had to stop using gcc without copylefting Xcode is considered a feature, not a bug, according to FSF holy scriptures. That's just a fact; I'm not stating whether it's right or wrong. I certainly understant Apple's point of view which you defended, but I also understand FSF's pov which needed to be reminded.

And no, I'm not going to repeat FSF's goals and Apple's stance on closed systems for the umpteenth time on slashdot. It really is left as an exercise to the reader if anyone needs it. Sorry about that.

TL;DR: Chill, dude.

Actually RMS didn't just wake up and realized that. He was indirectly replying to a flame started by the usual open source master troll, Eric S. Raymond. A pity the summary doesn't mention ESR at all and phoronix misses the real start of the discussion.

Surely not impossible. Apple could simply copyleft Xcode. Why Apple doesn't want to do that and rather prefers to fund a non-free alternative, and how this relates to FSF's goals, are left as an exercise to the reader.

Won't this increase their electricity bill?
