Take two files which are identical in all respects other than the watermarks. Where they differ is therefore a watermark, and destroying those differences destroys the watermark.
It's an interesting theory, but I've always found their applications to be acceptably mature, and they're hardly bug-ridden like you imply they would be. What I've seen is that they get an application to a level where they can leave it alone for a while and then just leave it alone.
I've never seen the perfect mapping system; what works in Utah doesn't work in Colorado and vice versa.
Also, no offense, but I could hardly understand what you were saying.
"Those whole world is there" - mistakenly put "those" instead of "the"?
"They're waaaayy too slow actually actually finalize a product" - you've got a subject and an object but no verb.
"What....*what* is still beta???" - unless "*what*" is a program of google's, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Just wanted to let you know that I struggled understanding what you're saying and still don't know if I understood everything correctly.
Actually, it's not hypocritical at all, it's just that so many of these bills have been struck down by now that you'd think the state would just let it go, much like Utah did when their attorney general pointed out that the legislation wouldn't hold up in court. On the other hand, I haven't seen any of the defeats appealed, so perhaps it's a fight worth fighting (assuming you want games regulated any more than they currently are).
It's the link to System Shock, which, like Deus Ex, became a cult classic because it incorporated a good story. If the story in Bio Shock is as good as System Shock's, it'll be a game worth playing.
I guess that's why they call it a line in the sand and not a line in the concrete They call it a line in the sand because Moses didn't have any wet concrete handy.
While other companies might not rely on the community to patch their software, the company that does provide support relies on the community to improve and patch their software. Where would redhat be without the community?
The music is covered better by one of the other replies. The assumption that aliens are more powerful than we are is a very good one, because they're studying us when so far we haven't been able to study them. Nothing mystical about wanting them to be angels, just the fact that they've already proven themselves to be able to do something we can't.
Ten Thousand Years Of Killing, Just Because People Are Being Told The Other Is Different I would have assumed from your sig that you are against hating a segment of the population that's different without thinking about whether or not they might be right, but from your post it looks like you endorse it.
It means nothing except to the human race, making this argument pointless unless it's made to the human race. So, in a large sense you're right, but in the sense that the universe is what its observers say it is, and we're the only observers we know about right now, you're wrong, and nowhere in that argument is a creator necessary.
Humans are at their best when they're expanding. Human tribes tend to only fight when there's a scarcity of resources. The wild west was only violent for consenting adults; rape was nearly unheard of and outside of gunslingers, people were murdered infrequently. That's one of the points of the article.
First off, there's zero evidence that anything would evolve to replace us. Humans have the biggest footprint on the world per member of the species, and there's absolutely no competition for that. Second, many kinds of art aren't tied to human systems at all. It's been said that math and science are the most likely things to be shared between different, intelligent races. If that's the case, then many alien species may find classical music to be very pleasing in its forms and the interplays of wavelengths. Ratios play into visual mediums in interesting and beautiful ways. If an alien were able to comprehend our language, they may appreciate our logical proofs, or our system of morals (like an adult watching a baby take its first steps or laughing at its naiveties, depending on how altruistic the alien species is).
I've never understood how so many people can hate their race so very much. I'm with you in believing that we're a benefit. As the article points out, humans are at their best when expanding, and even if there are other alien species, at least we know that our species has beauty built in; it's better than some alternatives I could think of.
So, let's start to put some massive amounts of $$$ into shipping people off planet. Hell, if they have need of a programmer, I'd volunteer to go myself.
The problem I have is that you're dismissing the one real world comparison we have, which is between Linux and Hurd, with theoretical comparisons between how hurd might have developed and linux. I'll take the real world comparison every time and, to be honest, it all comes out sounding like sour grapes anyway.
Linus just finished what GNU couldn't. There, fixed it for you. When RMS can install a hurd based machine one hundreds of production servers without a problem, then I'll consider listening to him on which parts of an operating system are the most important.
I would never use OS X, so why should I buy one of their computers with an operating system I'll never use? Or is it just wrong when Microsoft does it?
That's been the case for a while now. Miraculously, we've escaped that for the time being. You seem to be assuming that the "high breeders...them that start at age 12 and keep popping them out until death or menopause" are genetically inferior and will always be in that same socioeconomic class. However, both of those statements are untrue, and it's improbable that this collapse you speak of will occur within the next few generations.

People could just edit the ads out, so there's no guarantee they would stick.

Or, to be more concise, I disagree.

A lot of people (myself included) hated what gpl3 was doing, Linus was just the man who was the most vocal about it.

You know, that makes about as much sense as saying that because my company is run like a dictatorship, I can't handle a democracy. It makes no sense.
or at least make you think it's popping up.
Since they're looking at a specific geographic location, they could ship diversity in from Asia.

If perl/php are your languages of choice, then that's pretty compelling, no?
depends on what you consider general website hosting, but mod_rewrite built-in and htaccess are pretty compelling for my usage.
The sheer usefulness of mod_rewrite makes up for all that imho.
