MakerBot Going Closed Source?
An anonymous reader writes "A year after a windfall $10 million in venture capital, and after a community stir over one man's attempt to Kickstarter a project to manufacture the open source Replicator with a lower price tag, it appears that MakerBot Industries is going closed source on their new model 3d printer, the Replicator 2. Josef Prusa, core developer of the widely known RepRap printer (the basis for previous MakerBot models) has confirmed the sad news, with a stunned tweet, and is organizing an 'Occupy Thingiverse,' to protest the apparent theft of others' work."
Just goes to show their hearts were never in it to begin with and that it was merely self-serving, and when it no longer suited their interests.... well here ya go.
That's human nature. Everyone is like that. And I mean everyone. I seriously loved my old girlfriend and thought she was in it with full heart, but then she fucked another guy.
Love != possession.
Why would fucking somebody else be "cheating"?
There exist other sets of morals than yours.
No, love doesn't equal possession. But when someone makes a commitment to be faithful, and they violate that commitment, that IS cheating, and that's what "Adultery" is... cheating after you've made a commitment. It doesn't matter if you love the person or not... you STILL have no right to cheat on them without extracting yourself from the commitment first.
I think adultery should be punished with death, personally, and I would happily support changing the laws to reflect that, and I'd be quite happy to help throw rocks at adulterers until they are dead and bury them in a shallow unmarked grave.
