BSD code is commonly incorporated in GPL works and the BSD licensed portions remain BSD. The work as a whole has to be distributed as GPL but any BSD components can be extracted from the source and otherwise distributed under BSD terms. This goes for any other component included under a GPL-compatible license. GPL-compatibility doesn't mean those components are "converted" or "relicensed" because copyright law doesn't allow that in the first place. GPL-compatibility is simply the lack of additional constraints the GPL doesn't impose. BSD works are also often incorporated into closed binaries but this still doesn't relicense the BSD source. You generally can't incorporate one of those in your source files either.
Even that article doesn't quantify the costs caused by what it calls "defensive medicine". These are tests and procedures done a doctor covering his ass rather than trying to diagnose and treat evident conditions.
I haven't tried it in about a year and half but the killer for me is complete support for LOCAL metadata embedded in tags. I've taken the trouble to find high quality artwork and lyrics for as much of my collection as possible. I've embedded this in id3 tags and for the bit of vorbis in my collection the tags they have. If a media player I'm trying to use goes searching the net first for this information and disregarding the tags that are RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MUSIC FILE then I don't have a use for it. Amarok 1.4 could be fixed with plugins but these plugins of course didn't work in 2.x. What's more, 2.x has extensively rich functionality for pulling this information from the net and sticking it in it's database (pray it does so correctly) but neither reads or (fully) writes the tags I put considerable effort into putting correct information into.
It should also be possible to display the artwork and lyrics along with the rest of the application's interface in a usable way. No four clicks to get to the lyrics.
Yes, yes, yes, Amarok does use the tags for Artist, Album, Track Name, etc. But like MANY players it doesn't (or least didn't?) even attempt to look in the metadata tags for artwork and lyrics. Guayadeque gets this right and Songbird/Nightingale also get this right if the excellent MLyrics plug-in is installed. I haven't found much else in Linux/BSD that does. Incidentally, someone else mentioned MPD. That doesn't handle this either.
The Berzerk sequel Frenzy is a Colecovision fave of mine. Aside from Donkey Kong, Coleco didn't get many of the top tier arcade licenses back in the day but they did get licenses for many of the offbeat arcade games. Ladybug, Looping, Mousetrap, and Venture are examples of these and the Colecovision ports were very good. Like the 2600, the Colecovision gets lots of homebrew love as well. Take an hour out with an emulator and snag a few roms. I was a 2600 kid myself but I played a lot of Coleco at friends' houses and loved quite a few of those games.
BTW, the Wii has a good emulator available for jailbroken consoles.
Suing everybody for everything is very much a Jobs initiative. In his biography, he infamously pledged to spend Apple's entire fortune to "destroy" Android for "stealing" "his" ideas.
Israel keeps at least two of their Dolphin class subs on patrol in the Mediterranean sea at all times. These boats are commonly believed to be nuclear armed. If true, then Israel can Second Strike Iran or anyone else who thinks blowing up Tel Aviv is a good idea.
Manufacturing of teenybopper idols isn't new. Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers is the first one I can think of. By the time we got to Leif Garrett and Menudo, the process of casting (as in casting agency) and productizing them was pretty much down to a science.

It isn't the packaging tools that make Debian and the BSDs more consistent in package installation. If anything, RPM has more advanced features than either debs or ports. The Debian and various ports repositories have standard practices for naming, versioning, dependencies, and integration that are adhered to year after year. It is concern for the long term integrity of these package repositories AS A WHOLE that make them easy to deal with. But bullet point differences between Deb and RPM? Not so much.
Debian based distros also tend to limit themselves in how they diverge from the Debian Mothership and periodically resync in any case. I routinely port source packages between Ubuntu and Debian all the time. Since the naming and dependency maps don't diverge much, I mostly succeed at doing this. On the other hand, a SUSE SRPM isn't likely to port easily to Fedora absent a lot of low level surgery on the package metadata. Each RPM distro tends to be an island universe. Deb based distros all have Debian for a parent or grandparent hence the high compatibility at the source level.
For that matter RHEL and spinoffs like Centos and Scientific mostly achieve this as well though the experience is mostly like using Debian Stable without the option of (easily) backporting SRPMS from newer distros.
Do you understand the concept that when you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, first stop digging (unless you plan to be buried down there)?
Just because we find ourselves in a bad situation does not mean we should do nothing and just make the problem worse.
The problem is that ALL the major CO2 producers have to agree or it won't work. If the West caps their economies in the back of the head, India and China will gleefully take up the slack. Until everyone capable of Industrial Revolution actually goes through and it and arrives where the West is now, there really isn't much point in directly attacking CO2 emissions.
What COULD work is a viable technological replacement for energy from hydrocarbons. This would have to be something on the order of practical and competitive fusion or efficient and safe fission that has a high degree of resilience in the face of the profit motive. Those are very tall orders. But making either work would do far more good then token reductions in CO2 emission that will be extensively howled over.
And yes, yes, there are wind, solar, geothermal, etc. These means have yet to compete in terms of cost, energy density, and demand at any time.
I looked. The Trillion Dollar Question is the poll on the Individual Mandate. The panel there is pretty much split 50/50 which means even those in the know don't know how this is going to turn out.
Those scientists speak very articulately and in a very informed way among peers, that is people who need that.
So shut the heck up, you overmodded idiot.
He is just a sellout, who exchanged his education for a dubious profession of science popularizer.
That is a very shortsighted attitude. An ignorant public is guaranteed to be hostile to funding pure research. Europe got the LHC while we left the SSSC half built and rotting in the ground. A major reason for it is the difference in regard for science and especially what science research leads to in the long term.
And as the public's scientific literacy degrades so to will our ability to come up new tech or even maintain what we have. It will be very easy to convince people ignorant of the methods and findings of science that all scientists are boondoggling eggheads who hate Jesus.
Scientists are supposedly intelligent, educated, and good at reasoning. Why they make a team sport of denegrating popularizers baffles me. Science needs freedom and funding to do it's work. Cheerleading for ignorance just so one can feel like he has a bigger brainpan than a "mere popularizer" is so stupid on multiple levels.
They took our tax dollars to build the networks and often get subsidies and incentives from the government. Long as that is going, I'm not going to begin to listen to how telcos are entitled to all the benefits of free markets while the subscribers get stuck with all the liabilities.

It does. Install the RSAT tools on a Windows client and use to manage Group Policies on the Samba4 controller.

It might be. LibreOffice basically started off as GO-OO and one of the big distinguishing features was better DOCX support.
