If the headline meant app compability, it would probably have been written like: "It is fully app compatible with iPhone OS 5.0"

Has this place become like zdnet or something like that?

I hate you! More seriously git is super easy to begin to use, and even more so for small projects and / or projects with a small number of contributors.

Setup? git init; git add . (if no unwanted binary in the tree) Something interesting has been done? git commit -am "rock more" New source file? git add file; git commit -m "new foobar module"

What value does it bring? Great revert capability, bisecting bugs, and so over. I agree most of the time I don't need it, but well, when I do it is handy. It is like being insured.

So this is incorrectly titled. This should be a "A Quiz About Integers in C on common x86 and x64 ABI."

Unfortunately this does not educate people to that kind of issues, which is very unfortunate.

> The WOW compatibility layer couldn't account for 700 MB.

I'm not that sure... Plus 64 bits binaries are probably something in the order of 10% bigger.

You can't just declare a speech insane without a good reason, especially if it more or less agrees with what you state just next...

Edit: although i don't know how to read (insane vs. inane), this does not fundamentally changes anything in context...

Yet you just made no argument for why his arguments are weak, while yours are: jobs create consumers and consumers create jobs, but in your equation absurdly rich people and increasing inequality does not seem to be needed...

It is even worth than that:

> “They’re not accepting answers that are mathematically correct,” Abbott notes, “and accepting answers that aren’t mathematically correct.”

The test just seems to be a retarded thing designed by a clueless bureaucrat.

Of course it was smarter. But that does not make Apple actions "refreshing".

What isn't clear in "promoting" the Services?

Google can broadcast TV ads with your private photos if they want to.

Yet, with those rights, Google are able to (worldwide) ; create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content.

I mean "publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content", how on earth can you formulate that so broadly for a service intended to store private files??? And how after reading that can you qualify it as "Complete FUD"?

In depth analysis are interesting and everybody here understand that google is not going to be THAT evil in the short term, but the fact this _is_ formulated like that is very interesting and not fud at all.

> 35day/year vacations (not to mention the ~20 days of public holidays. Yay France!)

I wish it was true; but you are just bullshitting.

Walmart is not a monopoly (and even more not a monopoly by design that will never be anything else).
