I can only choose to not use them if I'm the sole maintainer of the code I'm working on. If someone else wrote some or all of it, which is the case 99% of the time, I'm SOL.
Workplace safety laws are fine. Dictate the amount of ventilation required to allow smoking. They already do so for the grills and ovens in the kitchen.
1E6 is not the de facto standard. It has about the market share of IE7 right now. And both of those market shares are SMALLER than Firefox's market share.
I think you're confusing freedom and security, or even democracy. They may take away some important freedoms, but they have far more freedom overall than we do.
"Some people are very happy with vinyl records."
Probably because they're higher quality than CDs. And given that any portable player will likely not be a CD player, you don't need the master disk to be portable any more. It only makes sense to buy vinyl and rip to you digital format of choice.
"Yeah, I can't help but remember how Gordon Brown seized power in a military coup and allowed a leading member of the opposition to be brutally assassinated by extremists. It's amazing how far the UK has fallen, isn't it?"

If they were dumb enough to do that, then they would be forced to license the patent, or loose the spectrum.
What we need more of is silicone. Amiright? I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
"It's the 'libre' type of free" So no DRM?

"I have never seen an SDK that so blatantly locks users out of common usage like this, have you?" Sure I have: Microsoft XNA.
Welcome to the global economy. If Akbar only wants $35k, that's all that job pays, unless you absolutely NEED on-site developers.
It's also assault if you punch someone or tackle them to the ground. Pro Boxers and NFL players, your days are numbered!
All the cabs belching exhaust outside building entrances must really piss you off, then.

Python, Ruby? Tcl?
"How about a choice of 1 window manager that actually works?" No such thing has been invented yet.

What's the difference between the pixels on my 42" LCD and the pixels on my 15" LCD?
Managed copy is not 1080p. You may as well buy DVDs if you're doing that.
Really? My copy works just as crappy as it does on Windows.
If my solar still is any indication, the cleaning will be a PITA, though.
What argument?
So Erin Brocavich's firm should have sued the people who got sick from the water as well as PG&E?
