Christians basing enemity to homosexuals on OT are missing the "replacing the old law" bit; as I understand it, the relevant passages are in Paul's letters to the first congregations. Since he was a former Roman military officer he perhaps had experiences in what effect homosexual relations in the Roman army had on morale, and used that as grounds for his opinions on the matter.
Now, Christians should perhaps ask themselves if they follow the word of Jesus (no references to homosexuals) or the word of church fathers like Paul, Augustin etc.
If you own a copy of ICO, sourcecode for it has to be provided for at least 3 years after selling it to the buyer.... if they abide by the license, which they might choose not to and instead stop distributing it, which - again - they have done.
... and he did it by blatantly copying other authors of his time. With today's copyright law he would probably ended up in a more mundane profession since the stories he wanted to write were already "taken".
Extensive copyright laws STIFLE creative output since works nearly always build on what came before. Extensive copyright laws merely means you can make money for a longer time, thus it is not even an incentive for creators to create more! Only the corporations of the INDUSTRY benefit (the works are often more industry products than artworks), and successful creators who effectively "win the lottery" and can set up their families for life.
Of course it concerns itself with end users: It's the only reason for its existence. Since the user interface of a web application is the program's output, this license counts the creation of the web page the user interacts with as "distribution" of the application to the client web browser. And thus a site running an AGPL application needs to have a link to the source or something equivalent. If you make no changes perhaps a link to the original Subversion repository, so you can offload the distribution to the third party that actually has it.
(As others have pointed out, Javascript packages are most often distributed in source form anyway.)
The question is rather, why wasn't this anticipated? After all, user interfaces sent as output are as old as IBM 3270 terminals.
Yes, abusing the word "piracy" by applying it to people leeching off services (which is what music etc. is) is wrong. However I seem to recall from the old days of kids ripping C64 and Amiga games that it was the people sending the cracked games between each other that first started to use the term about themselves.
It will be a moot point anyway, since in a hundred years time China will kome knockin' with a stack of American I.O.U.s and say "we own your sorry asses now". Then China will be in charge, as long as they are patient enough...:)
Yeah, but the rest of the world funded and developed the formal international standards by way of CCITT/ITU like X.25 and X.400. But those mostly died when the less formal Internet technologies started to spread beyond academia.
You see, it's not like the Internet was the only networking option available. It was just cheaper, more dynamic and less regulated. Had the U.S. kept the Internet tehcnologies to itself (hard to do as the need to interact with foreign universities grew), the rest of us would just have settled with X.400 email and the ilk, and Tim Berners-Lee would have created the WWW technologies on top of the OSI stack instead.
And the "we" were largely a bunch of nerds in Berkeley anyway.
The UN is political, not a technical organization.
But it has technical sub-organizations, like ITU, which would do the actual job. To think that the U.N. assembly would be doing the job is like thinking that the U.S. Congress does the job of the ICANN...
The same reason Norway, Japan and Iceland will not cede control of their whaling to a body with land-locked countries with absolutely zero whaling history, I guess...?
Yeah, after all since Germany invented cars they get to decide the world's car production. And since Italy invented radio they get to decide broadcast spectrums around the world.
1) The U.N.'s biggest problem is the post-WW2 anachronism called the Securoty Council with its vetoing permanent mebers - including the U.S.
2) Well, built parts of it, but we are in commercial-internet era now, with world-wide corporations running the infrastructure. Just because cars were invented in Germany does not mean Germany gets to tell the World how cars should be made now does it?
3) No, but that's because that "control" (of root servers) can easily be taken away.
meddling in every aspect of member (and non member) nations policy.
You mean like invading a sovereign state on false premises? Nope that was the U.S. and whatever bitches they could whip into following them there.
Being a salaried employee means that you have significant freedom as to how you perform your job, and it usually means that you have some flexibility as to the timing of work week. It does not mean that you can take off from work for two hours and expect to be paid for it.
Why not, when the company at other times has expected the employee to work, say, two hours EXTRA to get things done and not pay for it? Tit for tat, two sides of the coin and all that. TANSTAAFL for companies either.
There is no "significant freedom" unless you get to go home early if you desire to.

Because the GPL says so. Do you think the FSF/GNU "collective" should be as evil as the big corporations?

But the GPL never concerned itself with the USE of the software, or the OUTPUT from running it. Only with distribution of the software itself.

There was also the Psycho Circus comic books, related to the album/movie/whatever it was.
And then there is the atrocity of a B movie called "Kiss Meets the Pahntom of the Park"...
Then it is a WTO issue isn't it?

You... are number six.

Robots needs kick-ass mods too. Frickin' laser beam eyes!
the 5% of people who are psychopaths*
between 3 and 4 percent of the male population is psychopathic
For this math to compute, 6-7% of females (simplifying to a 50/50 spilt of the sexes) must also be psychopatic. Which explains a lot, really.
