Do you develop on GitHub? You can keep using GitHub but automatically sync your GitHub releases to SourceForge quickly and easily with this tool so your projects have a backup location, and get your project in front of SourceForge's nearly 20 million monthly users. It takes less than a minute. Get new users downloading your project releases today!
Hm, but it's a binary distribution of Nmap. GPL doesn't extend to binary output. Well, to be more specific, GPL only extends to output when a segment or whole of the source code is in the output. Binaries don't classify.
I suppose. It depends what your goal is, though. This is why there are LTS editions of OSes. Sure, you're gonna lose improvements that can better utilize your hardware, but it'll last longer 'cause it's more stable.
That actually seems like a great solution. Why not just plug in a custom keyboard without F keys? It'd be just temporary; you could remove it later and use your real keyboard when everything was over.
Yeah, I guess it is pretty naive. I'm just tired of new versions of software running slower and slower on my older hardware. (Web browsers especially. And operating systems.)
Not all markets show that tolerance. Video game markets, for example. A lot of them have those "set in stone" release dates, and the games don't come out very well. (Of course, my gaming taste is stuck in the '90s where it belongs, so don't take my word for it.)
Well, that's the problem, isn't it? Lazy programmers aren't writing efficient code, they're just relying on Moore's Law to push them through. Of course, I don't think the average consumers understand much about efficiency, seeing as eyecandy is so popular, even a selling point.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that
they might escape the lusts of the flesh.
