Why avoid recompiling? Why this reluctance to do a full rebuild? I started programming in a world where you had to wait a day to get 300 lines of Fortran built. Now I routinely build the whole 44Gb of community ports of…
Why can't developers, y'know, ACTUALLY READ THE BLOODY WARNINGS? And then, y'know, they could FIX MORE THAN THE FIRST ONE after a single build pass?
Three negative comments on this submission, that's some impressive anti-cult thing you've got going. Slackware doesn't do "security theatre" updates. Whenever there's both a credible risk and a reasonable fix, you'll…
Yeah whatevs. This reminds me of the ICL DAP with 1024 processors from 1979... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICL_Distributed_Array_Processo...

The planning authorities have an obligation to consider the potential historical and archaeological impact of a proposed development, and can impose an obligation on the developer for a professional archaeological…
Yes, you're being ignorant. Use '--content-disposition' with wget, or '--remote-name' in curl. The top level directory in the tarball corresponds to this name and everything works out as expected.
And thus, every boneheaded project that ships with -Werror enabled will inflict an excrement tornado of FAIL on its grateful users and packagers. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT USE -Werror. NOT EVER. (And if you can't bring…

Parloff spent years publishing pro SCO Group articles and pushing the undisclosed-Microsoft-patents-in-Linux meme. Do we spot a pattern here?
Thanks. FYI, for the upcoming 14.2 release we have an officially unofficial repo with hundreds of fixes for 14.2 ready to go (and hundreds more needed). I'll admit I get a little tetchy when people insist on telling me…

It's worth pointing out that the Bernard S. Greenberg mentioned in the article in connection with NXSYS is the celebrated Multician who ported Emacs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Greenberg

So now Merriam-Webster has become the Twelfth Circuit? This is the lamest jurisdiction shopping I've seen in a while.
I absolutely do not agree with the idea that this is stealing. How can it be stealing, when the owner still has the thing that was supposedly stolen? Different circumstances, different terminology. The correct…

Please take a moment to actually read the Data Protection Act 1998. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/29 75 matches for 'offence' on that page. Sections 61 and 47 are particularly relevant. European data…
