I wish I had read Thinking Forth by Leo Brodie ISBN-10: 0976458705 ISBN-13: 978-0976458708 much earlier. It is an amazing book to really show you a different way to approach programming problems. It is available online these days.

Soldered RAM is always a wrong choice in a PC.

The icons on this release are mostly horrible. I replaced the finder with the one from a previous version and will probably replace the bright folder icons. I like the gray sidebar icons in finder and wish they had used full size versions instead of the horrible bright blue.

"I'm not wasting any more time chasing your moving goal posts" I didn't move the goal posts. Everyone talking about inflation is trying to do that. The under $200 category of programmable computer is gone. We now have smart phones and tablets. One of the key entry points into computing is no longer available.

I don't buy that inflation argument at all since cellphones (and a lot of consumer items) still go for the $99 and $199 price points. Computers were always touted as getting cheaper every year, yet (because of the economics of Intel and Microsoft) we have lost the under $200 segment. $500 is still not an impulse buy.

ZX Spectrum and its ilk were buy box in store, come home and hook to TV. The Raspberry Pi is not that simple and even amazon lists a bunch of pictures of parts with each entry. That is a pretty big "too hard" for a nontechnical parent.

Go to the Raspberry Pi website and try to figure out from the point of view of a nontechnical parent how to buy your kid a complete computer they can program. That project is not ready for the retail crowd.

None of those are prime-time ready for parent who don't know anything about computers. Last time I checked, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are still around.

In the late 70's and early 80's in the US, you could go into a big box store and buy a computer with BASIC for under $200. Heck, the Sinclair boxes were under a $100. Which computer fits that description today?

To get the true impact correct, I think you need to change the last couple of lines to: "All pages containing the name of every actress / actor named in this suit will not be indexed and we will not pay Google Ad revenues on those pages so we don't financially benefit from any possible images. Thank you and happy Googling!"

I do sympathize with each and every actress and this must be a nightmare, but with all the security breaches on the internet (cards, SSN, etc.), how can you think your pictures would be safe? Worse, they are in an industry that treats its own techs (FX workers) with about the same respect that programmers get even if the movies that make them famous are not possible without them (see everything about "Life of Pi"). Why would data be safe?

I am pretty sure if someone took the binary for GCC and generated source code from it and declared it to be some other license then the FSF might have some objections. Reversing some binary and distributing that work looks to violate the Minecraft license in the first place.

That's about what I said, except you just cannot change the license on the code itself. Some folks think you can strip the copyright and license from BSD code and that just isn't so.

IANALBIHHTSF It can be included in a GPL project, but there is no provision in the BSD license to change the BSD licensed code to GPL. I would bet there is already some BSD code in the Linux kernel, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I thought is was from OpenBSD

OpenBSD lists committers by e-mail and they just don't show the domain.
