Is metric £ not counted as a new currency? Seems like you have to go through a lot of the same efforts as you would moving to a new currency.

But did you sign the petition!? It's hard not too, literally.

You seem to have some reasonable points here but as you're resorting to lame ad hominems, you can bicker with yourself.

As a developer and maintainer of FOSS, you are a part of the problem I'm describing

A lot of the times when people hear of Richard Stallman, or other people, who correctly state that all proprietary software is absolutely inexcusable, they feel pressured. Which makes them recoil and distance themselves from those types of ideas. If you need to suddenly re-learn the entire way you are using the computer, and you may have certain habits, or certain things you rely on, or enjoy very much, either games, or software, or in case of PewDiePie, the platform he is on. You will automatically feel like whatever these Stallmans are asking from you is so absurdly hard for you to do, that you don't even consider it. More than that, to protect yourself from that hard work, you come up with a bunch of reasons, to not even engage in that idea. Which creates an opposition. And it is not something that we want.

It's not just that, the overbearing FOSS mentality, from Stallmans corner of that world, is that you need to take a damn political position on software to be able to interact with other people that use it.

Which in itself is not actually true, but if you approach it like this with non-technical types then they will rightly and instinctively balk at both the software and you.

Bringing people to FOSS should be the same as bringing them to any other software, and if the ideology behind it is so self-evidently true then - by its own standard - it won't need significant petitioning to convince them they should use more of it for ethical reasons as well as to meet their needs. This is software, not Amway. They're trying to write a word document, not to join a cult.

Villainously, I'm billing eight-hours

The lawsuits are opened at birth

The best justification for him receiving the nomination, or even winning, is simply reading the list of previous winners and nominees

Nonsense doublespeak prize for losers and rubes.

They had a baby in 0.2 months!

Oh is it world war 3 again? Crumbs it's come around fast this time hasn't it. Are we up to them securing the oil fields yet, or are they still talking about WMDs?

The games I have for my grandma are: Tetris DX, Mario's Picross, Pokemon Yellow, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, and Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX.

This made me want to be nine years old and going on a long trip again.

Look ma, I'm meming!

The point of that is to allow risky projects the opportunity to succeed in comfortable financial circumstances.

Cases like this abuse the system to scam people while using the ToS to skirt legal implications. So it is fraud, just dressed up as a gambling.

That said, the outcome is the same: don't waste your money on Kickstarter unless you'd be willing to use the same money at a blackjack table

It's a shortening of metagame

These are actually individual hours of the workday

That was one of the big 5 in my mind. I never did any BB dev, but I remember looking into it at the time. If I couldn't get a device for cheap or free it was inaccessible. Student life is what it is. By the time I made my webOS money they were already on the decline and considering a move to android so I didn't consider it thereon.

Just watched the Jay Bachurel movie recently and can recommend. It's a bit slow but the nostalgia is top grade.

Nothing well known on WP, and I don't want to give names as it'll dox me given reviews are out there somewhere.

One was a different take on a Twitter app and another was a minimalist Instapaper app. I will say no more!

Unrelated fun story: I rewrote a plugin integration for a WP game from a fairly well known studio, 5 minutes before it was demoed live at GDC in SF, back around 2011 (+-1 year). And it went off without a hitch! Good times
