Correct me if I'm wrong, but GCD seems to be a user-space parallelism library, while TFS is talking about kernel-space task scheduling. I hate the unintended (and bad) pun but I think you were comparing apples and oranges here.
Bad documentation reflects bad design in some way. High-quality design are easy to explain. Fucked-up design (read: utter failure) are hard to put into good documentation.
... as long as you don't have to use some locked-down, proprietary software to read the images. I hope they don't use some closed image format for the output.
On the other hand, I'm sure some guys would like to take the effort putting $YOUR_FAVORITE_OS in it...
RIAA lawyer: someone invented a new p2p data sharing scheme? And it's even computer-aided? Surely it could be used to share music... Sue the bastards to hell, rape their wives and daughters, and profit!!!11!!
I think you've hinted the answer to the first question fairly well yourself. Compare the emergence of corporation regulation in the 17th cen. with Corpus Juris Civilis of the Eastern Roman Empire, 6th century.
Next, well yes, corporations are operated by humans, and humans are subjected to ethics and morality, as is a human society in which corporations exist. However this does not necessarily imply that corporations are capable of exercising moral judgments or acting morally (I mean, in some way that's compatible with moral standards of humans). Corporation is a human creation and no human creation inherits all aspects of humanity.
Moreover, in my opinion the competition among corporations naturally repels those who failed to maximize its profit. Should the moral standards come into conflicts with profit, what choice do you expect from corporations?
I'm a native Chinese living in China. Here we nobody gives shit about this Green Damn thing. Not even govt officials. There are thousands of private-owned tech websites in China and none are required to offer Green Dam download service. Should some website operator be TOLD to do this, it means someone in the local government are not well fed and want a pony. Just send in cheques and you are done.
So what if I want to give my used license to a friend for free? I can still be sued by the software company and lose, right? What if I resell it for a token price of $1? $0.01? Or just give it away?
But corporations are not bound by ethics or morality. They are not humans. The only thing that's possible to put these beasts under regulation is the law.
You can't really blame a demon from being demonic -- that's the very nature of a demon after all. The problem is a lack of preventive measures that allowed demons to go rampant and kill everyone in the house in the first place.
And remember, corporations are fairly recent stuff. It has not existed until recently. Civil (in the sense of "about citizens as human individuals") laws have existed for thousands of years but human societies in general are still quite inexperienced when it comes to corporation laws. Just wait a few hundred years more;)
He forgot to patent the idea of "transmitting electromagnetic signal across very long distances over cylindrically shaped medium". Otherwise he could have just given up physics and collected the royalty, forgetting about this petty Nobel Prize.

Is this the first step to building a Homeworld-style spaceship?
I propose the neology "litigitis".
Why don't you just use pkill if you already have pgrep?
Lego? You mean the Internet domain squatter?
If you can't grep or locate, go fsck yourself ;)

You failed to RTFTitle didn't you? It says it's a right to have something, not a duty to do something. Do you go to prison because you didn't vote?

You forgot to radiation-proof the box. Cover the whole thing with a thick layer of lead with the outermost layer 1-meter thick of cement.
This is so true it's not funny.
Yeah, they're in our brainz killing our cellz. Sorry.

Now get off my lawn.
I was wondering why ZDNet bothered to offer this software on its website. They are a news site, not a computer manufacturer/retailer.
GPL is about what you should observe when you make copies/derived works and distribute them. No copies or derived works are made in this case.

500 words? The whole essay, or just before the \0 character?
Oh wait...
