*Sigh* At least on Slashdot, you'd think people would comment on the technical chops to do what ISRO does, rather than try and be funny about Indians doing what American companies pay them money to do.

Sure, but that isn't what this lawsuit is about. It sounds like eBay is accusing Amazon of using eBay resources to lure sellers away from eBay. Amazon is alleged to have created eBay accounts to do this, which is a violation of eBay's policies. If Amazon had setup a big board on 101 encouraging sellers to move from eBay, that might be okay - but eBay may have a case here.

When the heck did that happen? I suppose that is what happens when you rely on your Linux distribution to provide Thunderbird, but still, I'd expect something that links off mozilla.org. I looked, and https://www.mozilla.org/thunde... redirects to https://www.thunderbird.net/en... so its good, but my first reaction was - is this safe?

I don't watch sports, so I have no idea how sports streams look like - but do they have the same amount of advertising as cable tv? I find it hard to watch anything with too many ads - streaming gets rid of ads.

I don't think they are talking about paying Uber drivers - from the summary: > information related to hiring practices, pay disparity and other matters as they relate to gender, Sounds like Uber employees, not drivers.

Different points of view come from different experiences - and different skin color definitely leads to different experiences, as does sex.

Or more people programming, bringing in different points of view. That should help software development - from functionality to work environment. As to true motivation - I'm a bit stumped on how to answer this. It sounds like what education is all about - teaching students new things, and trying to ignite a spark that helps them choose a career. When regular methods of teaching don't work for a significant set of students, something new is required.

Whaat? You moved from Windows to Linux because of Notepad?! That's just ... silly.

That would give you high precision, but low recall.

Or maybe he really thinks he can help?

And yet, each Linux distro seems to have its share of fans, and quite a few of them survive and are maintained. Maybe this will work out too! I don't watch sports, and so I can get by with just a couple of streaming services - Netflix and Hulu, or Netflix and Acorn, or Hulu and Netflix etc. No one service has everything I want to watch - so I just move from one to the other, coming back when a service adds new content.

In the case of Leh, tourism and military.

Call it a portable workstation, if you like that. I need my "laptops" to move around with me - so I have a properly specced computer with me wherever I work. I don't necessarily need a lot of battery life. Just because you CAN'T see a usecase, doesn't mean there ISN"T one.

On a related note - are there any papers/articles (well regarded by the scientific community) that hypothesize how the moon can be terraformed?

That is a one-sided way of putting it. It also has the effect of making applications "os-agnostic" at less expense.
