Because another 16.000 clueless, facebooking, twittering and oh-so-creative metrosexuals is EXACTLY what the Ubuntu community needs.
Well, total world domination, or even some sort of world domination would have to include some clueless, facebooking, twittering and oh-so-creative metrosexuals too. Besides, maybe some of the clueless, facebooking, twittering and oh-so-creative metrosexuals will show their newly found OS to some not so clueless, facebooking, twittering and oh-so-creative metrosexuals. Sure, the clueless, facebooking, twittering and oh-so-creative metrosexuals aren't the most important movers and shakers, but you do what you can. Any convert could send ripples of Freedom through our culture.
Ok. So, what would Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team do in he mean time that would be more productive? I'm sure there are plenty others more qualified to do the fixing of 9.10.
I disagree that stopping the evangelizing would be more productive than evangelizing at this point, even if 9.10 is buggy. (I.e. I don't think it's buggy enough to hide from the public completely.)
Maybe I just got lucky with my installs on my hardware.
Everything is growing. We can't see anything growing, because our rulers and tapemesures and everything is growing. That's gravity: Just the growing earth pushing against your growing feet. Gravity at a distance is just objects growing towards each others (the void doesn't grow). Come to think of it. It's probably a bad hypothesis. It couldn't explain a slingshot effect, could it? Nevermind.
To me that sounds like it might not be prior art, then, but it does feel pretty obvious. You can't just fiddle an idea a bit and get a new patent, right?
The obvious answer to the starving artist problem is not about any kind of restrictions on copying.
Just give every living person enough money to get by and those who are serious about their art will lead creative lives and benefit greatly all the rest of us.
That would depend on whether the authors chose encryption that could be decrypted in a billion years with the combined computing power of today or if they chose some smaller number or a larger one.
Besides... Where are the links to the scientific proof that it is in fact human nature, and not human nurture, that people always want what they can't have, if, in fact, even that statement is true....
Because, right or wrong, it's about our rights online, whether this or that court/country/philosopher/god/mathematician/whatever thinks the right in question is right or wrong doesn't matter. It's still about YRO, dumbass.
...come to think of it, my analogy would perhaps be more to the point if I said "to carry out copyright infringement" instead of "to carry out crimes".
Yes, but today we use the internet. And shit is relative. If everyone else gets to go on to ebay or whatever, one might feel really bad if one wasn't allowed online.
It might analogous to, if in the old days, one wasn't allowed to drive a car or use the postal or telephony service or walk the streets because one had used these to carry out crimes.
If this is the best solution, it's too bad, isn't it? Surely there has been all kinds of developments and innovation and enablement and whatnot over the years that doesn't require more computing power - ideas that are new and better, not just more of the same?
And I don't mean it will kill it outright, but it is the poison pill of free software that will start the snowball rolling in the mainstream about what is to be expected of mobile computing in the near future. (my prediction)
(Disclaimer: Fuck Nokia, fuck Finland, Fuck Sweden (just to be on the safe side), Fuck capitalism, Long live Freedom!)
...because of the million times we might have been hit, we only got hit four times i.e. one in 250k. (In other words: "I shouldn't have said statistical. I Should have gone to sleep."

"The current committee is still discussing how to go about finding a new committee"
A fitting name for this Haskell programming language might have been "Python" hadn't it all ready been taken.
My hypothesis about gravity:
Everything is growing. We can't see anything growing, because our rulers and tapemesures and everything is growing. That's gravity: Just the growing earth pushing against your growing feet. Gravity at a distance is just objects growing towards each others (the void doesn't grow). Come to think of it. It's probably a bad hypothesis. It couldn't explain a slingshot effect, could it?

Why don't *you* (or anyone else) go ahead and do that? Make a fork of the GIMP with nothing but the name and logos changed.
To me that sounds like it might not be prior art, then, but it does feel pretty obvious. You can't just fiddle an idea a bit and get a new patent, right?
Because GPL violations are wrong as opposed to many other copyright violations.

That's a shame. I wish those irc jerks would have been nicer to you, so that the rest of the community could have benefited from your contribution.
Check out Debian.
That would depend on whether the authors chose encryption that could be decrypted in a billion years with the combined computing power of today or if they chose some smaller number or a larger one.
I don't know if that was an episode of SG1, but you sig does remind me of Agatha Christie.
Damages schmamages. It's only money. Just get someone who hasn't got any money to front the operation and damages wont mean a thing.
So what? Sue where? The International Court of Justice in Hague? I'm sure they have mor pressing matters.
And, anyone who is in marketing or advertising is satans little helper, filling the world with bile and garbage, according to Bill Hicks.

Why YRO?

My bet for an iPhone killer: N900

In this, statistical case, yes.
Reminds me of the BSD/GPL license discussion. I like GPL. Nobel would maybe have been in the BSD-type camp?
Yeah, but the rubber band makers, book binders and air freshener peddlers have a harder time accomplishing vendor lock-in.
