""You just need to admit to yourself that you believe not in Free Software but in Open Source." I've been saying this all along. Just check the "right from the start" link in the post. Opensource can pay you bill, but it may not. And if everybody supported opensource without programming, it wouldn't evolve. Personally I feel like people who take advantage of OpenSource software and have programming skills, but don't contribute with it, are having a bad karma, but that's just me. Regarding the comment system, http://wiki.alcidesfonseca.com...... I've said I don't like it being a javascript widget. But I have more urgent stuff in my todolist :/" - Alcides

"@notrms But I do want to distribute the binaries. And yes, I've read the licence!" - Alcides

"Chekke, The problem is not reading the footer. Is assuming I am a MS fanboy. Not everyone that thinks that MS does a few things right is a fanboy. Actually the jQuery guys are pretty OSS oriented and they liked the news. (And I'm sure they will not let MS get in their way)" - Alcides

"You anti-MS guys should learn how to behave yourselves. No one takes you seriously you know? Specially when you suggest to try something that I already used to make this website (see the footer). Nevertheless I'm happy about this step Microsoft took!" - Alcides

"This is actually great news for those who believe proprietary and open-source technologies can coexist, which I don't believe is your case. And since I want to try out ASP.NET MVC, it's nice to use the already-used-almost-everywhere jQuery, than some MSish specific js toolkit." - Alcides

Worse is better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W... ".. limited but exceptionally simple to use may be "better" than that is more comprehensive but harder to use ..." stone is better ;) - vepa

Não concordo com a proibição da praxe, mas gostei do último parágrafo. - Alcides

"I guess the Touch series (Touch, Touch dual, Touch Diamond, etc) are already aimed at the consumer market. The TyTN and pro series are the ones for the enterprise, although that's not very clear. About the G1/Dream, it's the ugliest phone HTC came up with in the last 3 years. I know the Android is not the hardware, but they could have invested more in their brand and design. I mean, everyone wants an iPhone and it's not because of the multi-touch, or accelerometer. It's because it's a chick magnet!" - Alcides

"qwerty, as it should be from the beginning :) Thx" - Alcides

"You download "a bit of python magic", then extract the zip. Export your library from Goodreads, and save the file in the same folder as the contents extracted from the zip. Then run the Python script (Mac OS or Linux already have python, otherwise install Python (http://www.python.org/download...)) and it will generate a myshelf.txt that you import in shelfari. Hope it helped." - Alcides

WTF????? Claro que era uma situação de perido! - Alcides

"Wouldn't you need symlinks then from sw/bin to sw/git/bin? But, yes, you do have a point there." - Alcides

"And you even found the time to contribute to the opensource rails event manager :)" - Alcides

"Imagina que um rapaz é mandado correr na rua nu, como já aconteceu, segundo a praxe. Segundo a lei portuguesa isso é crime. E eles dizem que foi praxe. Este exemplo é uma coisa minima, mas serve exactamente para isso, para exemplificar." - Alcides

"João Pinto, embora não concorde com a praxe, nunca disse que isso era crime! Mas que são praticados crimes durante a praxe, são. Eu fui praxado ao início, não achei piada, e não é por isso que não estou perfeitamente integrado. Mas cada um faz o que quer." - Alcides

Geek bliss! - Susan Beebe

Just don't blue screen me, please! - Mona N. via fftogo

"I've tested this new layout in my Mac's Safari and in Windows's Chrome, and it looks better in Chrome. It's too hard to read the links in the sidebar, you should make them a bit darker. Overall, I don't like this new one. It makes the website too grey, and makes me browse something else. Couldn't you make a template that's up to the content? PS: I received all your last RSS items again today." - Alcides

Alcoholic terrorist? - Marcos Marado via tarpipe

LOL, according to some people - yes! - Bruno Pedro

we should register a terrorists.net domain and put a blog there to announce to the terrorist community the upcoming paper planes meeting... I guess today is wikisym, and twitlis is the next one? - Marcos Marado

get books for free! - Marcos Marado via Bookmarklet

Portugal not in the list :/ - Alcides

Doesn't have to, they have books for "everywhere". Also, they do this thing every month, so if you're no lucky this time, just try next month... - Marcos Marado via fftogo

"Passwordless OpenID": have an OpenID account that is... your mailbox. Couldn't be easier. - Marcos Marado via Bookmarklet

"Vitor, my whole account isn't 1,5 Gb. My backups are way less than that. I didn't knew about that point in the TOS :/ But if I have projects in the SVN, they act also as a backup :) Only my old stuff is outside svn at http://code.alcidesfonseca.com" - Alcides
