Really? So c++, legacy? Google's brand spanking new go language, legacy? Objective C-- legacy? What serious database (sql speaking or not) or operating system is written in a "non-legacy" language?

Well, If the air was pure hydrogen or oxygen, that would be a better way for sure.

What? No, it is not. The *IAA have the FBI do their dirty work. Breaking encryption might require a warrant, if you're lucky. But the basic problem with something like Mega is that in order to be successful with those sharing copyrighted media, people have to know how to get the files they are looking for. Someone has to index the files stored on Mega. For each tracker, download each file check the contest with the key provided, then submit the dcma request.

The purpose is supposed to be to give Mega plausible deniability over what is stored on their site. Third parties might know which files are copyrighted, but mega itself doesn't want to know. So they can't shut down Mega for knowingly violating copyright. With deduplication, they'll have to take down all duplicates as well in order to stay kosher.

But Apple still sells ipods because they are still profitable. Microsoft doesn't sell the zune anymore, because it never was profitable.

No graphics, no rigor in method, terrible writing. Dice needs to slap slashdot upside the head to kill these off. They're actually worse than the bitcoin stories.

Some of that is valid, and some of that just seems archaic.
Runlevels need to go away.
Writing an ini parser that can be used in conjunction with grep is trivial.

In short, it seems like a big improvement over the sysv init. I'm not sure who the commercial software companies are, but all of the scripts I've converted are pretty simple. Seems kind of stupid to not do it.

But what do I know, I Iike pulse audio as well.

What's wrong with systemd?

Ah, Babylon 5, urkel edition. I try to avoid coming in contact with terrible shows as much as possible.

Who is sheldon cooper? Is that one of those "There are no elephants in Denmark" things?

I like the line of reasoning at the end there, but you'd need to put it in more mathematical terms. Given a n number of observers , If an event has not been observed for a time period of t, then the probability of it happening must be p.

Its pretty much what physicists do when looking for particle behaviors. Like proton decay.

Yes there was. The republicans relentlessly talked about reforming social benefit programs, Obama relentlessly talked about the need for higher taxes. They didn't mention gun control, though.

That isn't a true "No True Scotsman"! *

*Its truly not a true "no true Scotsman", and the irony of it is too much to avoid pointing out.

Yeah, I think it also has a lot to do with how much reference is needed for a particular language. Bash, perl and PHP are all odd ducks. Searching for things about them are more indicative of how messed up their syntax is, rather than a measure of their usage.

Or if you show the lenovo a one fingered salute.

I continue to pay them until they stop asking for money, especially if the victim is dead. I mean, they just killed someone for money, what are the odds they won't do it again?
