What quote? And yes, in my opinion some IRC clients have suboptimal defaults or missing support for this. It's a shame, but changing your nick to emulate a built in IRC command is in no way a solution. Away is standard, and every clien

The complex part is that a lot of people have a lot of different opinions on it. Now I don't know most of them, because I have no personal interest in it ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_marriage has a few...), b

Considering the (lack of) alternatives I fear that using language to argue about meaning in language is the best I can do :S. But seriously, I think talking about what _exactly_ something is meant to represent isn't "lawyering&quo

I think the fact that he's good at marketing doesn't change the fact that he did a lot of morally questionable things. And I don't think they're negligible– at least not from an ethical point of view.

Kimble is a fraud and an asshole. The only things he's good at are marketing and scamming. Just take a look at his history- insider trading, selling userdata from a BBS he ran to a lawyer, scamming the german telcos... the list is quit

AFAIK it is used in failsafe systems: you have two systems who deliver the same output, but are developed independently.

USB 3.0 uses interrupts, but if you're trying that with 2.0 you're gonna have to wait for those interrupts a _long_ time.
