Linus' rudeness is not culture but an abandonement thereof. For being influential he should only be held to a higher standard. His bad example should certainly not be followed. Sincerely, your friendly non-native English co-speaker.

I think you were thinking of anencephaly. But I disagree. Likewise for the comatose. Ask the guy pronounced brain dead by four doctors.

Logged in to upvote your comment, hopefully you won't be disuaded by downvotes. Maybe this whole "deal with my being unpleasant" thing stems from people seeking to justify their unwilingness or inability to practice self-cont

I guess it's time again to spend some points. Killing/euthanizing people in any stage of development or condition is murder.

For the record, I disagree with this. You only need to check the implementation if you're straying from the standard or the compiler is. Neither should be... standard.

Actually, since C99, sizeof char is defined to be 1 (byte). The number of bits in a byte is implementation-defined. However, "it's implementation specific and it's most probably this, or that if you use such and such a compil

Took a look at the github page. Sounds really impressive, lads. I only wish it were a microkernel and licensed with an 'or later'. In fact, given how well copyleft works for system software, I'd consider AGPL. Anyway, it defi

by paxcoder 10y ago
The fact that copyleft only kicks in when derivatives are distributed(GPL) or served(AGPL) indeed renders unviable selling copies of software. But I don't see how you could enable usage licensing without compromising most user "fr

ASLv2 is compatible with GPLv3 (works under ASLv2 can be inorporated into GPLv3), but not vice versa. This is because GPL has (arguably useful) restrictions which ASL does not. A common goal of ASLv2 and GPLv3 is the restriction on patents,

GPLv3 has a framework for exceptions built-in. Apache 2.0 supposes no exceptions. The question is why FSF/SFLC thought it insufficient to simply enumerate the exceptions alongside the license.

Derivatives fall under the same copyright (unless fair use applies). You can't copyright ideas though.

You do have automatic copyright on things you create under the Berne convention.

I reckon people find it uninformative. If not, then I'd guess the exact opposite. You should know which.

Now that I have read your last comment, trolled is unfortunately an apt description of how I feel.

You removed the modifiers when you were paraphrasing. Obviously to explain was my exact intention, which is why I provided several arguments to your one. Honestly, I find your first sentence hard to believe.
144.
by paxcoder 10y ago
You're forcing me to respond. You can't just remove my modifiers and then claim "heavy accusations". Note also the irony of supposing someone's state of mind while advocating proof. You've already shared your o

I did consider it, as evidenced by the words "seems" and "might". As for typo - it was not it, absolutely. Note that this fact doesn't necessarily imply dishonesty, but it is a possibility. This other comment was ha

I never denied that I have made an implication. I believe I had better grounds for it (or I wouldn't have invested time in checking the project's state in the first place), provided a clearer point for OP to counter, and that that

It might have been clear had it been used to set the tone. But used like this I think it deserves criticism whether intentional or not. While I certainly can be be wrong, I also wasn't assured it wasn't intentional by the way it w

It's not a typo, it's a theme driven home by your last sentence.

You used past tense in talking about a project last committed to less than 3 days ago. I have no horse in this race but it seems to me like you might.
