Why not use a dual license scheme, where you GPL your project for anyone to use, extend and give back; free as in beer and speech. If someone wants to keep their own code non-GPL:ed; allow them to use a regular commercial license where they pay you.
Ok internet... Here is something simple/quick that anyone can help with:
In order to get more visibility and articles written about us in regular newspapers (election day is September 19:th), the newspapers need to see that there is a massive interest in these matters. Rick Falkvinge and Anna Troberg from the Pirate Party authored the following article [in Swedish]: Sluta behandla internet som ett laglöst land
Compared to what our opponents are doing/buying, this is the high road so please click through even if you Swedish is not up to scratch.
This is full immunity, but it can be revoked if approximately 83% of parliament support the charges. This law is meant to protect the political opposition from harassment by the government. I may be wrong here, but I believe most wester countries have similar protections against turning towards dictatorship.
Just you wait until the paperclip starts moonwalking all over your desktop, giving you "important" "information" for you as one of MS's "most valued customers".
When you right-click the paper clip, the context menu will give you a choice of "always on" and "remind me every 10 minutes".
THe thing that makes me think Java has a huge path forward is groovy.
The JVM is what impresses me. Java as a language has become less readable over time with the syntax for generics being the thing that annoys me the most. It just doesn't look neat any more, and there are a lot of things that you have to write over and over.
Anyway... the JVM is a great machine and will be getting even better given recent work by John Rose and others. Dynamic languages will become faster and easier to implement. As a side note, Ruby is already faster on the JVM than with the C implementation.
Ruby, Scala, Python, Haskell, Lisp and many other languages already exist on the JVM.
P.S. To the people who are always having problems with running applications on different java versions... Don't you think you should get to the bottom of the problem instead of complaining? If your application is for some reason tied to a specific Java version, just make sure to specify this in your startup scripts.
My settings where "download but do not install patches", yet one day ago my machine declared that it was patching as it was shutting down (Windows Defender was updated). The Windows 7 Super Bing Experience Live Hotmail Artificial Intelligence Engine 2.5 must have made a decision overruling my own.
I have now switched to "do not check for updates at all", but have a bet going that this will install anyway.
I'm sure everyone who is honest is with themselves, and who also watched MTV during the 90's, will find that he/she listened to music he/she liked and might otherwise have paid for, but did not.
Estoppel in its broadest sense is a legal term referring to a series of legal and equitable doctrines that preclude "a person from denying or asserting anything to the contrary of that which has, in contemplation of law, been established as the truth, either by the acts of judicial or legislative officers, or by his own deed, acts, or representations, either express or implied.

With most of the movies coming out of Hollywood these days, I wait forever. This is true even when people try to lend me DVDs. I just accept if someone is trying to be nice to me and happen to bring one along. You don't want to tell someone who is trying to be nice that you think that that movie is just a waste of time.
Seeing as how the scientific consensus is that there is a link between CO2 and global warming, YOU are the one who needs to prove there isn't one (and I seriously doubt you can show me any good evidence that there ISN'T a link, as 'a definite link' is what the facts show.)
Perhaps after the restructuring of the IP world, creativity will again be needed in order to make money? "Me too - Album 54" wont really cut it in the new economy.
Have a look at this presentation showing some examples on how Trent Reznor of the Nine Inch Nails managed to earn a couple of million US dollars selling music that was also available for free.
He EARNED his money by creating loyal fans and by giving them multiple reasons to want to pay for his music.
Slashdot is full of people who support or deny AGW on faith. They think it is because of "all that science", but in reality it is because "the TV said so".
(No, not you reading this of course, but all the rest [climatologists excluded]).
Could you resist public opinion, if reality did not match that opinion? Are you sure?

Plus we have Trusted Platform tech around the corner
Thrusted Platform?
I like that, but would prefer a circuit breaker for both camera and microphone.

You need to refrain from acting on a lot of truly useful information in order to make the big targets believe they are safe.
I wonder how much is lost because of creative people's fear of the U.S. legal system. Sound businesses that never existed. Lost dreams.

No, but please note that this wide range estimate may include the extended Scoville family.
