...and they were worth the Nobel Price for the invention!

Well, from a human perspective, you're probably right, but from a from a brain chemical perspective, you're totally off:

Negative Reinforcement >> Positive Reinforcement

Unfortunately, pretty much all animals you see around evolved with this very same paradigm. If Linux goal was to avoid this problem to show up again, his way was the most effective.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it was a reference to an old advertise Apple made when Windows was hitting the market, teasing them for their DOS heritage, indeed.
At least it didn't get modded "redundant" :)

It is the common Linux empasse: tons of features hidden behind complex command (and features are the very last things Linux lacks....)

A pretty obvious solution to come out of it could be that for a GUI-related feature, i.e. X, or any other graphic code, to be considered as such, must have a... (now, mod this redundant)... GUI available to use it.
Obviously? Well, not very much so, if we still need to cheer this kind of news as... news.
Don't get me wrong, I consider this new tool extremely useful, but it basically builds on top of xrandr, a respectable piece of code dating back to way too many years ago.
By the way, if they would add some extra info on screen when switching between modes, I would consider it simply perfect.

Basically:
IDKFA
IDDQD

At least for Medicine and Biology, there is PLOS ONE, an open source journal, online-only, with peer review and Creative Commons license.
Despite being fairly new, it has already gained a more than respectable impact factor of 4.092 (2011) and it's getting more and more momentum (although it aims to go against the "obsession of the impact factor").
As expected, initial reactions were pretty cold, especially from traditional publishers, but after its successful approach, several similar OpenAccess initiatives followed (yes, even from those traditional publishers like Nature Publishing Group they were 'teasing' directly with their launch campaign a-la-Apple VS IBM).
Being an electronic-only journal, they don't impose any limits to the length of an article, nor the number of figures and (as silly as it sounds) you don't have to pay any extra money for having your figures in color, as with many other journals.

In my opinion, their main achievement was to proof that their business model works and that traditional publishers are not the only viable option.

If 386 is now "stable" (read: dead) hardware, then it's a smart move to suspend its support in the newly developed code Fine for me if it means that the next SATA 10 Tbit 265 colors network card is not going to have drivers for the kernel as it is today.

I agree with the other several comments pointing at the not-so-well hidden slashvertising.
The person in the interview is the Chief Marketing Office of a company.
He's been a programmer, sure, but now his job has only marginally to do with programming.

It's a complex subject, but your argument is a slippery slope, if you ask me.
What if parents teach their kids things that are detrimental, false or illegal, or give them bad examples, like: "drugs are good", "$COLOR people are not human beings" "vaccination is bad", "evolution is false", or "kissing rattlesnakes is not dangerous"?

Actually, this last one is a more appropriate than I initially thought, since the guy died in the same way his father did.
Now, one thing is the right to be allowed to believe whatever you want, another is to force it to someone that doesn't have enough critical thinking and without giving him/her a choice.

Please, no. I can't believe we're that low... [picture the last face of Switch in Matrix]

It all depends if it is a much faster major release turnover or a incredibly slower Tuesday patch.

Well, since you were asking....
1) 16 bit ALU in Minecraft
2) 3D printing of Minecraft models
3) ...
4) 3D profit

Absolutely true.
But it is also true that in the last 15 years, there was nothing comparable with the all the fuss that's currently going on.

From the Windows 8 Wikipedia page:

Now, I've never seen a similar move before: just compare users and impact of Windows CE vs. Windows 98 [AKA the Mother Ship, at the time].
Did they already touched the ARM architecture with "some software" in the past? Yes.
Did they ever adapted their main product to exploit the ARM architecture? Not very much so.
My point is that if it wouldn't be for the "other mobile operative systems[*]" push, there wouldn't have been such an involvement in the design of the next ARM architecture.


[*] ...that are already occupying the front seat and the two seat rows below in the aforementioned bandwagon.

ARM twisted then thrown through Windows (bad, bad joke).
Guess what, MS discovered the Wonderful World of ARM processors and wants to jump on the bandwagon.
That's almost already full
And they'll call "shotgun".

You know, for a server being violated is always a matter of probability, same story about hardware failures ("when", not "if"). Some of the variables in this equation is how "interesting" your server could. And a server releasing certificates is quite "interesting", if you ask me. So if you keep the logs of such an important server on the machine itself, there isn't much to say: the administrators of such a server are incompetent.
