    Copyright law is neither moral nor ethical. Please defend your statement.

    Copyright law is, in fact, a social contract that authors and creators will receive monopoly status on the sale of their works for a limited time and then their works enter the public domain, and can be copied and remixed freely.

    Nothing that was created since 1923 will ever end up in the public domain. How is this moral and ethical?



    My maturity has absolutely fucking nothing to do with the facts in this case and our ability to argue them, and it is an ad hominem attack to bring it up. I won't respond in kind.

    Also, being mature and understanding the law are orthogonal, so you're not even making sense. I'm sure there are some who agree with the shit that you're typing, but then they apparently don't have mod points since your comment is now flamebait.

    This website may help http://www.podval.org/~sds/clisp/impnotes/syscalls .html, but be careful as it is not always completely clear which functions work on which platforms.

    Pentagon was hit 40 minutes after the second WTC. Why wasn't it protected by fighter aircraft at the time of the attack? 40 minutes should be enough to get f15 flying!

  7. xml+dtd+stylesheet is the way to go! by sds · · Score: 1 · on Can XML Replace Proprietary Document Formats?

    in short, switching from layout-based formatting to contents-oriented one (using xml/dtd/stylesheets) will allow separating file formats from the editing software, which will solve most of our problems. please see details.
