$500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills haven't been issued since 1969, supposedly due to "lack of use," though the more cynically minded (such as myself) believe it was more likely because it's harder to track paper money than it is to track checks, credit cards and wire transfers.

Alright, yes, unemployment is falling in Europe. It might even get down to, what, 6%? In the US, people are panicking because unemployment just surged up to 4.5%, after years of hovering around 3%. This is exactly what one would expect in a socialist country, because elementary economics shows that high minimum wage forces unemployment.
Of course, Europe is great. Well, from Germany on west it is anyway. It's full of first world countries. But, the USA is still more wealthy, by any measure, including average quality of living.
Finally, yes, I suppose WWI and WWII (or, as a history prof I had liked to call it, "the Second 30 Years' War") did set Europe back, it didn't "help" the US. Economic growth feeds upon itself, and the richer the world is, the faster indiviual countries become richer. So, without the world wars, EVERYONE would be richer and better off. And after almost 60 years, I think we can safely say that the war years have been made up for. It's not like we're blaming the Civil War for any of our problems, and that was less than 90 years ago.

If Tito pays double the cost of the mission, thereby allowing Russia to continue their research, then doesn't that benefit everyone? The Russians needed to do nothing more than keep him out of danger for a few days, and in exchange they got both this mission and the next one for free.
People ought to be singing Tito's praise for his generous contributions to science. Just because he got a few days in space doesn't make his contribution less noble. It's like the little trinkets they give you when you send money to PBS, if you sent in $20 million, they better give you something pretty damn spectacular.

The author of the original code is not bound by licensing agreements because he wrote it. He owns the copyright. Hence, he's not bound by the GPL. Now then, had he accepted GPLed patches without requiring the submitters to surrender their copyrights to him, then maybe that'd be different.

Think of it like a contract. He owns the code. He says "you may use this code forever provided you obey the GPL." He has made that contract with you, and can never take it away.
Now, he's not releasing it under the GPL anymore. Since he owns the code, he never had to agree to obey the GPL. This is the one fundamental weakness of open source projects. With many contributors, no one really owns it. That's why XEmacs split from GNU Emacs. The FSF was insisting that all patches have their copyrights turned over, so the the FSF would 100% own the code.

Aside from the fact that no one on the tech support line at PacBell knows what the IP addresses on their DNS servers are, it went great (since, duh, their automatic configuration software is Windows and Mac only). 1.5 mbps is about what I usually top out at downstream, haven't really stressed the upstream yet.

The point the original poster was making was that if the DID, who would know? The FBI, to the best of our knowledge, has no secret divisions, nothing aside from current investigations that they may keep from the public.
The NSA and CIA, on the other hand, do. If the NSA did domestic surveillance, and didn't want anyone to know, then they could.

Hmm... interestingly enough, the period from 150-80 years ago was the most purely capitalist periods in history. Sure, we've got bloated government now. Perhaps it's not a coincidence that since the Great Depression (and the accompanying socialization of America) the rise in income of the lowest fifth has not kept pace with that of the highest? Also, our GDP growth has fallen from a long term average of 3% to 2.5%

If you insist on using something that cannot be identified with any gender, the only singular pronoun you can use is "it." I highly doubt you would be able to find any respectable journalist use "they" as a singular.
As for whether or not "he" is the technically correct way of identifying people of unknown gender, it is. You may not like it, you may reject it, but it is correct, and it always has been. In fact, once upon a time, "man" simply meant "human." The word exclusively for males was "wer," hence "werewolf."
Newsflash: you're a fucking moron.
Does no one understand the English language? In a case where gender is unknown, the male pronoun is supposed to be used. Hence, "he" does not mean "that male," it means "that male or person of unknown gender." She, on the other hand, quite explicitly means female.
So no, it doesn't show "there's someone at Microsoft with their brain turned on," it shows that either they don't know English gender rules, or they'd rather sacrifice correct English for the sake of political correctness.

You're right that OSS != Free Software, but BSD is a Free license. Anyone who recieves BSD-licensed code may do whatever they please with it, including relicensing it. The GPL, on the other hand, is a less Free license, because it places restrictions on what people may do with the code.
This is not necessarily bad, because the GPL is fairly Free, and strongly promotes free licensing, which ought to put pressure on the software industry as a whole to become more Free. The BSD license, on the other hand, is completely Free, but does nothing to promote free licensing.
In an ideal world, all code would be BSD licensed, and Dell would give out free (as in beer) computers for everyone! In the real world, I believe that the GPL is useful for fighting back against Microsoft and Apple, who would like nothing better than to keep all software closed. But, do NOT make the mistake of thinking that somehow makes the BSD license unFree.

But, you're claiming that Google has to spend $1-2 million more on coding for Linux than on coding for NT. That was my point. Not that they wouldn't have to spend $1-2 million on Linux, but that they wouldn't have to spend $1-2 million MORE than they would on NT.
