The way OSS works helps people discover and fix vulnerabilities much faster than closed source OS (Windows)

Exactly, usually the last few niggling bugs at release time get fixed in the first point release., so these aren't total showstoppers

Why can't there be a vBulletin plugin that checks for and blocks spammers right at registration plus reports them to StopForumSpam be installed? This can help reduce all the effort by staff and admin...

For VirtualDub, maybe there should be a way to import/export files made with VirtualDub into OpenShot to allow you to work with them.

As Qt is also available for Windows, switching to Qt also has the benefits of making it easy to port Qt based apps to the platforms that Qt supports so we could well see apps like OpenShot on Windows...

Agreed but good luck trying to get something as simple as the register command documentation out of nVidia...they'd say they cannot release that due to IP issues.

Thanks for the clarification, but can using threads rather than separate processes also be useful for parallel operations?

It sounds like a good time to revamp the traditional UNIX IPC protocol to improve performance and reliability, so perhaps kdbus and libsystemd dbus implementations could make great new backbones for...

I'm sure database-based apps can very well use many threads. Also parallelizing code makes use of threads to handle the various concurrent operations going on.

Maybe sometime there be benchmarks and comparisons of these various implementations of the Linux C library? Would also be a good idea for a clean implementation that can be handled by any compiler...

Ahh, that makes sense...removing the gcc-isms and replacing them with code more in line with the standards is a good thing and that alone should help reduce bugs. Most of those gcc-isms are mainly...

I would call LLVM/Clang complete ONLY when it compiles the Linux kernel without the need for any patches to the kernel code as well as the resulting finished binary behaving the same way as the...

Agreed, perhaps by using a text based or GUI wizard for setting it up.

Would be a nice combo if done right. Maybe the KlyDE devs should team up with the razor-qt people to come up with a killer lightweight desktop that looks great yet stays out of the way plus being...

Ditto, nice how they do it much in the same fashion as the kernel devs where you can roll back if you do have some oddball issues which generally crop up when compiling some real old or esoteric...

I'm sure the NSpire series models would pretty much fall into the "too powerful" category...my old TI83+ still can dish it out though. To me porting Linux to a TI calculator sounds more like a...

Good point that's still valid for the majority of the older systems still chugging along...386s anyone?

With proper optimizations JS can indeed be a fast and relatively versatile language well suited for running applications within a web browser as if they were locally installed. Fast CPUs/GPUs should...

The restrictive situation with ARM is where the true problem is, and in the meantime ALL vendors should allow users to add their own keys on their x86_64 UEFI based boards.

True that is now, but now that MPEG-LA has backed off attacking VP8/9 at the moment there could well be incentive for video device makers to soon adopt vp8/9 as the standard as they'll avoid having...
