IPv6 doesn't fix most of the problems with IP, in fact it makes some worse (routing tables are now bigger because of bigger addresses and there can be more of them). If IPv6 actually did attempt to fix issues in IP it might have seen faster adoption.
You can't view it on youtube either from Norway, the UK, and many other countries. "This video contains content from Channel 4 s/f, who has blocked it on copyright grounds."
While Libav left with the server, bug tracker, etc., the FFmpeg project was restoring itself, with the help of some VideoLAN people (the FFmpeg sources are now hosted on git.videolan.org). Michael also started to merge the Libav changes back into FFmpeg every 1-2 day, with a lot of forgotten, previously rejected, sometimes controversial features, or in stand-by such as ffmpeg-mt.
The main point here is that the fork stimulated the competition, and FFmpeg became a way better (IMHO) and more complete project. Also, I must say the leader's attitude completely changed, in a very good way. This is certainly one of the most positive thing that came out of that war.
I think vundle is a lot nicer than pathogen. It supports all addons that support pathogen and makes installing and updating them much simpler.

Also from the design document:
Another extreme is the approach, advocated by Rand and ET3, of drawing a
hard or near hard vacuum in the tube and then using an electromagnetic
suspension. The problem with this approach is that it is incredibly hard to
maintain a near vacuum in a room, let alone 700 miles (round trip) of large
tube with dozens of station gateways and thousands of pods entering and
exiting every day. All it takes is one leaky seal or a small crack somewhere in
the hundreds of miles of tube and the whole system stops working.
the statement about making it a criminal offence to possess images depicting rape sounds a good idea on the face of it
How does making images of consenting adults doing something completely legal sound like a good idea in any way?
