If the point was "write a prototype/less efficient version prior to the more time consuming but better quality solution" then maybe they should have written that. The connotation with plan B is you do plan A, then if it…
Schools should maximize student learning among many other competing dimensions (cost, accessibility, etc). Where does a commitment to OSS sit in that list?
Who is looking to read this content on a pager? The interface for 99% of folks has been degraded for this benefit. This is why simple styling plus a printer-friendly page work wonders.
Agreed. Is it typically worse than no support?
The right software for kids allows them to be productive in minutes, has a limited feature set, focuses the child on the core subject matter, and gets them excited for more. I don't think that either Photoshop or GIMP…

Luckily enough, the (loud) minority on this one is getting overruled.
OK, tell me how it does work. Russia obliterates Katowice, one of several countries obliterates Volgograd. What is the next move? You just ended the lives of a million of your citizens. You just stop there?

I was specifically responding to throwaway4aday that I do not believe that hawks in NATO that desire the full destruction of Russia will win the argument to pursue an offensive war against Russia. One reason I think…
What would make Russian leaders desperate enough to launch a Nuclear strike against the West? Comprehensive embarrassment by NATO and the US flag towering over Red Square seems to be just about the only one that I can…
Any nuclear attack by Russia on a NATO state guarantees the utter destruction of Russia. As much as we like to think Putin is unhinged or desperate, as much as Putin says a nuclear response could happen, he knows this.…
I see this a lot, why is it assumed that Russia invading a NATO member state and NATO responding with force => WW3? NATO would repel the attack, but it would be completely unwilling to attempt significant aggressive…
Hitler in 1939 had economic/industrial parity with at least one, if not two of his primary combatants (France and UK). He then had good reason to believe that other countries either would not engage (USA) or were highly…
I have not laughed like this for weeks. Well done OP.
