I'm aware, but recently I've seen a bunch of people say stuff like " I could care less about X", it may just be a failed attempt at sarcasm, or maybe they're idiots, either way it annoys me.
Now suppose for a minute TPB was largely used to host torrents for child pronography files. Would everyone be leaping to their defense quite as vocally?
They have removed child porn and reported it to the authorities in the past, it caused a lot of controversy due to their "We won't remove any torrents, ever." stance, but they stuck by it.
Also torrenting would be a stupid way to distribute stuff like that, since it's incredibly easy to find the IP address of everyone who downloads it. Although that doesn't mean it doesn't happen
States don't have views. Information does not want to be free. Abstract entities don't feel human emotions, and when people pretend they do, I have to ask what point they'd like to make that they can't support with more objective arguments.
The state is not an abstract entity, it's a small group of elected officials, and these people do feel human emotions, and their decisions are affected by them, much of them also have strong ties to corporations, and this affects their decisions too.
Difference is that the seeds are physical property. if they stole your original copies of the book then it's stealing, if they take a COPY then it's pirating.
I'm not saying that pirating is right or wrong here, just that it's very different from literal stealing.
you also seem to assume that there are similarly finite dimensions to the assortment of possible algorithms that can be utilized in useful programs. This is not remotely proven.... or even particularly likely. Computers are a very recent development in human history. Given that knowledge and information are being exchanged at exponentially rising rates, we cannot possibly have not even made a significant scratch in the surface of what is possible, or even particularly probable.
So the software works for many common cases PRESENTLY, and it gets UPDATED in the future.
There shouldn't be bug report for this category of obvious flaws. If you had one look on the desktop you would have seen it.
I'm looking at it right now and don't see it, my clock looks fine, so clearly it's not affecting everyone and it's not obvious just by looking at the desktop.
How would you expect a developer to fix a bug if he's never even seen it, and instead of trying to help you just insult them.
Do you still have to rebuild/reinstall modules for Linux for each version of the kernel? That's always awesome..
Atleast you don't have to reinstall every driver in Windows each time you've ran Windows update...
And before you moderate me flamebait, be sure to understand that it's NOT needed for all other oses.
I've only had to install a driver myself once (Well don't know if I HAD too, but I just googled and followed the first step by step instructions I found) on Ubuntu 6.06, and I'm using a fairly old (GeForce 440 MX) NVidia card, supposedly the worst, now on first boot I get a popup telling me drivers are available and I enter a password and check a box, and kernel updates never caused a problem (except, again, Ubuntu 6.06).
Co$ wouldn't have to lawyer up, they aren't involved. Forcing the practice of Scientology at work is against California law. But Scientology didn't do it, DisKeeper did.
Exactly, the person responsible will take the fall, resign from his position in WISE and give a load of money to the Church of Scientology, and then he'll find a different way to get new members and be right back in the Church's arms probably.
So. That means you get to practice your religion in the cube next to me, but I get to carry my handgun in case you try to ritualistically sacrifice me?
Erm... Yes, exactly, as long as he doesn't force his religion on you, and you only use your gun if needed in self defense.
Although they can say you can't bring a gun in of course.
What I really want to know is what the fuck the point you're trying to make it, discriminating against people of a different religion when hiring is a crime, regardless of whether your a Christian, a Muslim or a Scientologist, if a company forced it's employees to go confess to a priest or go to Church it would get sued also.
He's saying the church of Scientology does it, and the owner of the company funds them.
If you look into it you'll see a history of child abuse in the Church of Scientology, they claim that it hasn't happened in over 20 years (Not that it never happened) but there've been quiet a few (now ex-)members of the church testifying that it's happened more recently than that.
As for kitten killing I'm not as sure, just googled and found http://www.solitarytrees.net/pickets/sp992a.htm, but no idea how many of those stories are true, and I don't really care enough to go and look into them, I've heard of the first story before a few times though and it seems likely that at least that one is true.
As much as I love playing Freeciv, I worry that it's not quite ready for people who have never played either it or some other version of Civilization. It is not at all intuitive,
These are 13-16 year olds the OP is talking about... I'm sure they'll figure it out in short order.
Or they'll get bored due to a lack of action scenes and attractive women.
The whole point is that YOU don't need to do the maths, it's done for you, big red bars mean you'll probably hurt(or be hurt) a lot, big green bars don't.
Or simpler and more accurate, big bars at top mean you'll miss a lot, big bars at bottom mean you'll hit a lot.

Nowhere did the summary say EU.

It contains really insecure software, it's a "learn by doing" exercise, much more effective than traditional presentations
Yeah, but big oil companies are nowhere near as bad as the RIAA, so there definitely would've been no problems there.

Can I ask when you last used Linux?
Of course it is, but the newbies have to suffer a reboot, only the elite get to keep their uptime even while updating graphics card drivers.

Religious discrimination isn't prohibited, per se. Try applying for a job at your local Catholic church if you're an atheist and see what I mean.
A church is a non-profit organisation, Diskeeper can't make this claim.
It's a software company though, a kosher restaurant has a lot more links to Judaism than disk defragmenting has to do with Scientology.
Mod points aren't that important but you seem to be a whore for them in every article. Are you a scientologist or something?
What an appropriate article to post those 2 sentences in.

Does Microsoft hold Windows users at gunpoint? Who, exactly, is forced to use Windows?
People with jobs. You've probably met a couple and never even realised it.
Saying that "A government owned X is a good idea" is not the same as saying "All X should be government owned without any competition".
You can have a government-owned business as well as privately owned ones, in competition.
I know you're trying to be insulting, but you should probably make it clearer, you look like that kid who tries too hard to fit in at school.

If they search your /dev/random long enough they'll eventually find kiddie-porn so the joke's on you.

According to this it's on 439 of them, 87.80 %. But that seems a bit general, maybe it's counting Solaris as Linux? Or would that be in Unix?
