Sorry that sounds too much like "become the enemy to beat the enemy." If iOS weren't a closed platform with curated app selection, you can bet everyone would have installed Flash in under 10 seconds - to match every non-curated platform out there.
Uhh busybox is just a collection of GNU apps under one binary, itself licensed under GPLv2...and Android? Well, there's a reason I'm using a GNU/Linux phone instead of an Android.
Because there will be a common DRM negotiation protocol among all browsers. I want those DRM developers to work hard to make their shitty plugins work, not provide a universal API for them.
No I'm trying to eliminate the shoehorning of plugins and use common open codecs like WebM or OGG. I'm also hoping that content producers are just going to start forking over all their content without any kind of protection (like Amazon music store, most of iTunes, and GoG for starters) or go out of business.
Once browsers have the means to replace Flash and Silverlight (which they basically do right now) maybe they'll go away. Look at how badly Flash has been hurt just because one particular brand of smartphone doesn't support it.
I should have asked him in the Q&A thread, I don't think he'd answer honestly anyways...but I think those are not his real positions on the topics, but he doesn't want those things to be illegal because laws against child porn, bestiality etc. are used as WMDs against software & Internet freedom.
Consider that there is going to be no DRM in the HTML5 spec itself, just negotiation channels for it. So if you want DRM there will have to be closed-source client-side apps in either case. Therefore, why condone it through support of the negotiation channels? All it could do is ease the spread and development of DRM apps.
Yeah there might have even been enough money in the budget to fortify or upgrade the Fukushima NPP. Imagine how much worse the disaster would have been then!
Bad news, population control is too uncool and was abandoned decades ago, we have to find a way to conserve resources in the face of rapidly rising population levels.
Almost anything you can 3D print that isn't available off-the-shelf, and is required in low volume, will be cheaper than an off-the-shelf part. Do you know how much it costs to retool an injection molding machine, never mind purchase one in the first place?
People have been making 3D printed replacements for a lot of little plastic brackets on cars that would otherwise have to be pulled off a junkyard part (if they can be found at all). I plan to print an ITB adapter for an engine in Ultem.
I'd think wiping it off would accelerate the warming - it allows for new condensation to form, bringing the temperature between the beer and the atmosphere closer to equal. It's like hugely accelerating the evaporation of the condensation.
Not surprised that condensation warms the beer (duh!) but I'm surprised how great the effect is.
It's a waste of money and environmentally unfriendly. Some of the commercial printers even have chips to keep you from refilling. There are cheap machines to make filament from raw material now, going to cartridges from filament reels is the wrong direction.
Exactly, if you buy a box of fun snaps and empty all the powder to make a single big one you'd have a better "IED." Or if you threw a cell phone battery on the ground, you might at least get a decent little fire that way.
I've seen this news elsewhere and Slashdot was the first place to call it a science experiment. I guess it could be, in the same sense as a Diet Coke & Mentos experiment or an "effects of flour on your best friend's head" experiment.
What's being done to her is completely ridiculous and she deserves nothing more than maybe a nasty look and a mild talking-to, but let's not stoop to yellow geek journalism
We use all that oil to make ourselves a Blade Runner/Terra Nova/Modern Chinese environment, or we save it, preserve the planet and use the massive fossil fuel reserves responsibly for space exploration.

Sounds like proprietary hell (or Apple's nirvana).

What can you do with a bare kernel though? The GNU apps are the best part IMO.
No he's right and he's doing the right thing.

It's morally less difficult to argue for DRM in this case but technically just as stupid.
Now you can start offering non-jokey encryption!
Yes, it's FUD, and you're a major polluter.
Neither do giant freaking asteroids. The guys at NASA are going to feel like a bunch of idiots.

The two statements aren't contradicting, can't you tell an OR condition from an AND condition?
Of course the third option is "it won't change anything." All three are possible for weather in a small enough region.
Damn, meant to post as AC...I can't help myself -_-
Have you ever told us the definition of insanity?
You could say the same of popping a paper bag between your hands, where do you draw the line between "bomb" and "harmless fun thing that goes pop?"

Also, inb4 the 3D printing haters/snobs!

Lucky this wasn't a bolt through the window...
