It doesn't apply to checking out large repositories. It's faster at pretty much everything (except git clone vs svn checkout, which it still comes close for).

See http://johan.kiviniemi.name/blag/svn-diff-git-diff-speed/ and http://thinkvitamin.com/code/why-you-should-switch-from-subversion-to-git/, particularly the "Not Just for Teams of Coders" section.

I think you meant to say that the latter (unfortunate password with same hash as "ppp") is improbable so the former (password actually was chosen to be "ppp") is more likely.

I disagree.

Have you heard of grep?

Except the part where the DRM is fundamentally flawed, won't ever work, and only hurts legitimate consumers. "Benefit" indeed.

And the DRM will stop people from pirating it, just like with every other form of digitized data that has been DRM-ed, right?

The issue with DRM is not that it's useless, but that it's impossible to implement. Additionally, it can only hurt legitimate consumers who are willing to pay.

On top of that, the frames are then compressed into GIFs as opposed to the lossless PNG and then uploaded with a .jpg extension. This guy is clueless.

Furthermore, in a video comparison, is audio even included in the file and, even worse, why is the audio encoded differently? This throws some doubt on fairness of the result since the filesize of the overall files are very close but the audio portions of the file likely take up different amounts of space.

Finally, why is VP8 thrown in the "WebM" container (which is just MKV) and the H.264 video thrown in the mp4 container?

* Yes I can.
* I don't need to paste the code into another editor just to get custom coloring.
* It sounds like all of your issues are with e-mail clients that assume the 80 column crap. In other words, with e-mail clients that have trouble with text. OK, so they're not your e-mail client, but it's still not the fault of the text.
* Charset has little to do with the argument at hand.

You can't do lists in plain text? Try harder.
I don't want your syntax highlighting. I can do my own highlighting, thanks.
Your e-mail client can't handle wrapping of text? Try harder.

Text is text. How it is interpreted should be left up to the user (in this case, the receiver, not the sender). It seems that whatever software you're using really sucks at interpreting text, but don't blame the text for your problems.

Digital data is still more reliable. You can backup the data so that when the computer breaks, you can resume your work at some point in the future. When you spill some coffee on a stack of papers and you didn't go through the cost of backing that up, you lose.

I don't think this is a fair argument for either side. Paperless people spend more time on the computer; people with lots of paper spend more time away from it.

That's exactly what version control is for. VCS's are better, though, because it's easier to create old versions and it may be harder to forge an old version.

Backing up digital data is far easier than paper. On the other hand, spilling coffee on a stack of papers is generally irrecoverable.

So your software sucks, even though better, more reliable alternatives exist.

And XP users are already accustomed to the CLI?

That's gksu/kdesu.

So, where's the bug?

Also, when I write software for Windows, my QA team is myself and the two friends I give it to. But my entire QA team gets angry when that software breaks in a newer version of Windows.

The rest of the world, too. When I introduce an XP user to sudo, they seem fine with it. When an XP user is introduced to UAC, even when I explain why it exists and tell them to consider leaving it on (I do), they are annoyed.
