I don't understand comments like this. The person obviously meant "I have lived and worked in nine countries, in continents such as ..." Why do people get caustic about a mistyped sentence?

I mean, I'm sure the latter follows the former as a matter of logic, but wouldn't you say it's a bit obvious? If your tests aren't applicable because of the socioeconomic differences, can you really say that signs point to 'no'?

What's the news here? Opinion pieces are more and more often frontpage articles on Slashdot. Are a lot of people even involved in this "gamergate" thing?

Obviously, free software has teh same problems as socialism: If it is free, what is the incentive for enhancement and bettering? Why go through the trouble after your initial effort, if there is no advantage? A lot of free software comes about because of the need, or the personal interest.

And if it meets the usability requirements of a select few for whom the program was designed, what is the purpose of making it more usable by the general populace?
