No you do not have to "pass it on to others" but if you do you must pass all of it. If I get sources for a GPL program, and modify it, I do not have to pass the modifications on to anyone. I might make a patch and submit it to be nice, but no maintainer is obliged to include it.
Not allowed how exactly? I see both proponents and opponents of what the media calls "global warming" - indeed, the opponents seem to write the most on forums and so on. Who are saying that "the debate is settled"? Certainly not scientists, since that would go against the entire point of science as you point out.
I am sure you are suffering from Tourette's-by-keyboard, but this tendency to think that everyone who knows there is a difference between two illegal acts are defending either is getting tiresome. I am not pirating, in case you wonder; but you are not wondering, you are just declaring your twisted reality...
That makes early (header-less) HTTP closer to the Gopher model ("give me a list or a resource"). When they started adding headers etc. more or less inspired by RFC-822 mail, it was still adapting older protocols. But it took ages before the extra protocol verbs like DELETE and PUT were properly utilized, people generally sticking to GET and POST with the occasional HEAD.
Well, he shot someone whom he then claimed was attacking him with a knife. Everyone else - witnesses, CCTV camera footage etc. - seem to say he was not.
Why do you people* always drag out Angry Birds? Why not action RPGs like Exitium or the Zenonia series? Why not board game ports like Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne or Small World? (How many real multiplayer games does the 3DS have?) Why not Freelancer wannabe Galaxy on Fire 2?
But no, it is always Angry Birds for you guys...
*) Apple haters who live in a weird reality where only strange radiation from Steve Jobs can be the explanation why people want to buy Apple products.
But Nintendo is in a schizophrenic mode where they cannot decide whether to sell the 3DS to their old fans (like by letting them buy Ocarina of Time yet another time) or the new fans and casual crowd that bought the DS and Wii. There were plenty of angry voices raised at region locking (pissing the "classic" Nintendo fans off) and the short battery life (pissing the new fans off - how portable is a device you need to find a socket for every 3-4 hours?).
That, combined with excessive prices even for ancient emulated Gameboy games on the 3DS eStore means they are struggling actually to make sense to the customers.
And that is the focus which dooms the non-Apple manufacturers. I mean local TV ads for the LG Incredible 3G tells the viewer it has "dual core, dual channel, dual memory" - what does that mean to the average consumer? It's just pointless tech masturbation.
Even this Slashdot thread quickly diverges into talking about the iPad. HP and the others struggle because not only fans of the iPad are constantly talking about it, but "enemies" of it, too. So the iPad becomes the de facto tablet.
It's 2011. As internet usage accelerates - Netflix, online gaming etc. - ISPs are throttling network connections, sometimes just blocking service if you go over a certain limit. Why should you need to gobble up unknown amounts of monthly "allowance" from God Emperor ISP to play a game single-player just because they have this fear of piracy? Pirates will have a "no internet required" patch out in no time, meaning only paying customers will be subject to this totally needless (except for DLC and bug reporting) connection.
What next? "You need to have your tap water running while eating this meal"?
It costs an negligible amount of money to produce, and a radio transmitter is already throwing away energy by transmitting in all directions, irrespective of there being a receiver in that direction or not. Am I going to start paying for the radio wave energy being absorbed by my body, too?

She is not Congress. She has a First Amendment right to have viewpoints, and express those.
I always wondered what the United States were under before the 1950s, when "under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance...

You do not see the significant difference between physical theft and unlicensed copying? Thankfully, the laws do.
(Hint: If act A is illegal and act B is illegal, does that mean A and B are the same act?)
Huh? Lion (10.7) is just out and you are starting the rumor mill for the next release? Talk about proactive...
Ah another believer in the "there are only this many bits in the network" lie.
lining their own pockets, and not giving a damn for any damage done to the overall public good.
Ah, you mean the Tories. :)

The brackets in Obj-C are cleanliness itself compared to the multitude of uses for most characters in e.g. C++.
Cataclysm is great. What are you on about?
Yes, Blizzard are #winning, but #tigerblood is $.99 a bottle in the cash store.
The key phrase being "there are other games to play". Indeed, Blizzard, there are.
It's not a joke, it's a horror story. (The U.S. economy, that is.)

Big AAA title sells crap numbers because the fired devs create mobile game startups, selling great entertainment at $3 instead of $30.
