I suggest you file a bug at Gimp's bug tracker for an official answer. http://www.gimp.org/bugs/howtos/bugzilla.html

It is also important to note that the git tooling has matured a lot over the years. In the beginning, people used wrappers such as Cogito - "Human-suitable Interface for Git"[1] because the command line interface was such a pain.

Yet another shallow article describing the difference between prototypes and classes. Does anybody know of more in depth ones that also discusses multi-leven inheritance, polymorphism etc?

It makes it much easier to reposess the battery (and car if applicable) if the payments stop. Although I would not buy such a car myself, I reckon many potential customers wouldn't care. At the same time, those who care will probably either be anti-drm (a minority) or have a higher risk of missing a payment (not the target audience).

I guess that for many people, Facebook _is_ the internet.

"How to make $100k in Open core" would be a better title imho. After all, he makes his earnings from the pro additions, not the open part.

Linux is licensed as GPL v2 (only), so a switch to gpl v3 would require concent from all contributors and be practically impossible.

They are working on it one piece at a time. For instance, they refactored the way Calc store the cells in memory to avoid lots of pointer chasing.

You need to claim damages withing 6 years of the infringement:

35 U.S.C. § 286 Time limitation on damages

Except as otherwise provided by law, no recovery shall be had for any infringement committed more than six years prior to the filing of the complaint or counterclaim for infringement in the action.

In the case of claims against the United States Government for use of a patented invention, the period before bringing suit, up to six years, between the date of receipt of a written claim for compensation by the department or agency of the Government having authority to settle such claim, and the date of mailing by the Government of a notice to the claimant that his claim has been denied shall not be counted as a part of the period referred to in the preceding paragraph.

For some of us, it already is. We just don't rant about it every time someone mentions Ubuntu or Unity.

Your mileage may vary of course, but Spotify definitely beats TPB when it comes to easy. Relatively cheap and extremely accessible. I entered my credit card details a couple of years ago and simply forgot about the negligible sum withdrawn each month. Such a shame it took the industry so long...

Of course, but that implies that it is possible to pay for it. The copyright holders must adapt business models so potential customers can pay for a product they want, not some inferior DRM that hurts the customer. As long as piracy gives potential customers the best product, the incentive to pay is lost.

While not a seperate product, you could run the old program manager and file manager from Windows 3.x by running 'progman' and 'winfile'.
