That greatly depends on the Language being used.
I used to work using Python, and eclipse is almost useless during refactoring. The same applies to most dynamically typed languages (or, in this case, duck-typed).

Just like people used to trust Google more than Microsoft. Times change, and so do companies.

There's also the fact that open sourcing it allows implementations for ANY architecture and platform, not just those they choose.

It's not 1st amendment, it's fair use (for a parody). It's ok to use stuff that other people own a copyright to if the sole purpose is parody (it's fair use). This is clearly the case.

Have you ever noticed WHEN chrome[ium] updates? Nope.
Firefox show you this "checking addon compatibility" for a minute after every update. Some addons used to break (not anymore though). Those negative points are what made the rapid-release so awful.

I updated to Chormium 28 on 19 June 2013. Why is Google Chrome getting released one month after Chromium?

AFAIK, RDP lets you see the entire remote screen, not the windows of a single program. There's a big difference. Imagine GIMP; with xorg+ssh you get 4 floating windows. With RDP, you have a the remote desktop with 4 windows inside of it. You can't stack remote and local windows as freely.

Weston is a replacement for Xorg; it's the reference implementation for Wayland, NOT a window manager.

Way too much power usage. Unless you run something like a SIP server on something that actually requires so much hardware, you can shrink that a lot.

Actually, it's not 100% wikipedia. It displays smart information on top.
I remember searching for an apache httpd configuration directive last week, and DDG showed a snippet of the documentation on top. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's slightly smart, and rather helpful in general.

Personally, I use DDG as my primary search engine. But when I need to look for very specific issues (why is my commanlink not working with X and Y in JSF), I find that google gives better results. Google still works better if you have lots of keywords or long sentances, but otherwise DDG is enough.

Could you please elaborate why being backed by Oracle makes Java safer? How does this apply to other Sun products that Oracle has discontinued? Did Oracle over promise not to screw up Java, or end support for old versions? If so, can we trust them?

What's wrong with email+gpg and xmpp+gpg? Did it get broken? Why the need for a new protocol?

Obligatory XKCD: http://xkcd.com/927/

I've used VLC for almost a decade and i've never seen this message. How do you trigger it? According to online sources, it's run after an update, but I've never seen it, and update every single release. Running vlc 2.0.7 right now.

Xabber is your friend. Honestly.

Also, if you use an XMPP client to google's server, non-google XMPP users can still see you online.

Well, "internal" isn't a valid TLD, why would a browser guess that you have a local TLD named like that?
Omibar for firefox exhibits the exact same behaviour. Type something without a valid TLD into the search/address bar, and it assumes it's not a URL. Quite predictable.

You mean, Chromium?
Yeah, it in almost every's OS repositories (save for windows; but you can just download it from somewhere).
