Darwin didn't use the word "evolution" because that name was associated with a different theory at the time. (Life was like a russian nesting doll, with all the children, grandchildren, etc already pre-fabricated).

It's like Barack Obama says - "you didn't build that". Providing pre-compiled software is dangerous since it teaches people that FREE Software and Open Source are about price. I don't provide pre-compiled binaries or documentation for my code. I also intentionally leave in some easy to fix bugs. My users need to edit and compile the source code to run it. My users need to read the source code to understand the cryptic error messages. That's the only way they'll truly appreciate Open Source software.

They're pushing google drive for downloads. That makes sense on a couple levels -- forced encouragement of google drive and removing redundant functionality -- but this is google so you have to wonder what's next. So... what is next? Will you need to login with google+ to download? Maybe click a few adds before your download begins? Auto download Chrome for you, just in case?

It helps if you're a minority like Elon Musk (African-American).

It's actually Google Fart. Another casualty of autocorrect.

The Dart source code is BSD licensed, available on Google Code (hmm... I wonder when Google Code will get shut down...)

One of the contention points in the WebKit/Blink split was support for non-JS languages. Chrome (and Opera, Google's bitch) will, I suppose, support it, but Firefox, Safari and IE? Then again, IE used to support VBScript and PerlScript back in the day, so maybe Google could do an IE/Dart plugin.

Being killed off is better than the alternative -- forced integration with google+. Will they require you to login to google+ to run the javascript transpiler? Will they auto-post your error log to your google+ page? Will they remove the "+" operator (like they did with search)? Who knows!

PINE Is Not EMACS.

Strange conclusion. BeOS and NeXT both had professional UX experts but weren't successful on the desktop. Android was in the right place at the right time with the right price.

Didn't you say the same thing when Google bought YouTube ($1.65 billion, no revenue)?

It didn't happen when Patrick Leahy leaked confidential information.

97% of first posters agree that piss is frosty.

You also need to factor in time -- your stomach absorbs X oz of alcohol per hour, your liver metabolizes Y oz. of alcohol per hour.

I've seen a few bar/strip clubs in Canada that had a breathalyzer machine in the bathroom, next to the condom machine (WARNING: do not confuse the breathalyzer with the glory hole). For some people, it would have the wrong effect.

I think France now requires all cars (or drivers) to carry a disposable breathalyzer.
