Well, an update was today. Perhaps another transfer? We don't quite have all the facts.

"Each kernel release is a different work; the chances that any given piece of code has been modified in a new release are pretty high. One could argue that each kernel release comes with its own license; the termination of one does not nece

You could also align the pointer over the button, shine a laser pointer on your mouse button, and have your cat click it for you. Since you didn't click the button, you didn't accept the license. Arguably.

Term 5? All that says is if you don't accept the terms, you don't get to use the software. There's no irrevocable termination of rights. At worst, all they have to do is download a new copy of mount and presto, they have a new license. [e

One of the causes of the Revolution was lack of representation and a means to change the law. Now that we have a representative government as a result of that war, one might hope we would use it.

And that's why the link goes to an article discussing usage of Go instead of the golang homepage.

Did any of those people disagree with him before? Has he changed anyone's opinion? If he had said the opposite, that the verdict was correct, would anyone here say "hmmm, he's given me a lot to think about."? Or would they just say, "it'

I think that's it. The phrase "the famous, or even infamous, ..." is fairly common. Monkey see, monkey do.

In the US, it's hovered right around 50% for a while, though it's climbed up between 55-60% for the past couple elections. More people don't vote than vote for any candidate. I would agree less than 30% isn't default, but 45% isn't less t

Indeed, I may have read the code wrong. But look at line 188. m_prevLink->m_nextNode = m_nextNode; I don't see where m_prevLink is changed. If the previous link has gone away, and you call RemoveFromList on this node a second

One thing about intrusive lists, you have to know and specify every list the item may be on. Maybe you like that, maybe you don't. Also, it doesn't appear the provided code gracefully handles removing an item from a list twice.
