Not only. If you take the math.stackexchange.com you see that they put an extra effort to have mathematical equations displayed properly on the site.

but that was a week ago...

better... and compatible! Because are usually writing docs to be shared with other people. I doubt in 30 days he was able to make that possible, especially when you look at openoffice and how much it took them to make something really useable.

No, he says he used Netbeans to justify the 30 days. Otherwise the whole development process would have taken only 15.

Good. As always in our Universe, things tend to converge to a certain equilibrium. There are more and more satellites in the upper sky, thus the probability of a collision increases exponentially. Collision => less satellites.

Yes but the picture is what pros would call a bad picture: to give a relative idea of the height / width of the thing, they should have included a man for instance into he picture..

This remind me of an old Office file where the MS copyright text was encrypted thanks to a simple XOR value (a few bytes). (There is also that funny story at the time of a Linux tool that only needed the `-d` option to decipher a whole XLS, without providing any password...). Anyway, what was said at the time: while XOR encryption seems very week, if the key itself is as long as the text to be encrypted, and if the key is based on reliable random values (and the key is kept secret), it is indeed a very strong encrytion.

Offtopic? This is not a secret that RIAA and the like are not investing any effort in building faster infrastructures ( quite the opposite ). If history was made based on their whims, we'd still be using vinyl records, without even a cassette to make a copy... At 40Gbps, a HD movie is copied within a second...

...for RIAA, SACEM and the like...

In a way Youtube beats time... but that gives an idea of the bandwidth available upstream (downstream being even more monstrous)

It seems /. has a particular relationship with mr MacAfee, that allows /. to get some kind of confessions directly from him, that you won't see anywhere else. Well, Torvald, Ballmer or Steve Jobs (from the Dead) would be better, but that's a start.

Considering the 1. high level of complexity and 2. high quality level of the Linux kernel, please keep him out of the regular OSS projects.
When the GIMP or LibreOffice bug (they do that often), I'm just annoyed. The Linux kernel OTOH cannot afford to bear a botched or newbie-made module.

He's certainly not likely to go back to Belize soon anyway...

Checked again: though my system says Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, I still see "McAfee" everywhere...
