it just prevents consumer devices incorporating GPLv3 software from providing certain features that are allowed in business devices incorporating GPLv3 software.
Features like closed-source crap, hardware & platform lock-in? They can keep 'em.
The tea party's pro-transparency/anti-lobbying and small-government positions are just a small part of their overall platform, and will be ignored for all the classic neocon "good stuff" they support, like wanton deregulation, anything with a military bumper sticker on its ass and the three Gs.
If it makes any of them feel less like modding me "-1 Disagree," Obama does the same thing to scrape by with his supporters (see: Guantanamo, anything related to transparency, military accountability)
That's a republic for you, the majority doesn't have full control, elected representatives do. If they then tell the majority to fuck off and choose to enrich and empower themselves instead, and this cycle repeats forever, welp...???
Personally, I license all my own work under the BSD license to maximize its potential for inclusion into works using other licenses. If I were to use the GPL, I would be restricting the use of my code to projects under GPL-compatible licenses. And that would be a dick move.
I could understand it being seen as a dick move if you took code from BSD-ish licensed projects...but otherwise, why would it be?
Moving from GPLv2 to GPLv3 requires the consent of all contributors, there are a lot of holdouts among kernel developers (even Linus is against it - although it seems to be because he sees himself as an "apolitical" developer).
The big difference between the GPLv2 and v3 is just the anti-tivoization - closing a major loophole in the GPLv2 but hardly a difference in overall philosophy.
I was wondering if you thought there might be other restrictions...because you don't seem to *want* people to close & commercialize your work, but you have no problem with BSD-ish licenses, so it seems that unless you're wary of rules just because they're rules, the GPL should be an equally good candidate for what you want.
True, GPL'd code is used in drone control stations so this guy must be working in Area 51's tinfoil hat department. How could GPL'd code possibly be bad for security just by the license alone?
And no true Scotsman would murder his wife. The GPL's strings will never get in anyone's way unless they're trying to take a piece of free software, closed source it and redistribute it - typically with the intention of profiting on others' work while contributing nothing in return.
You do know that the GPL's "strings and restrictions" are to prevent others from closed-sourcing the software and profiting from it, right? If you want that, that's up to you, as long as you know...
Exactly. I "public domain" my small and unimportant stuff, basically because it's worthless and if anyone wants to try to close it and profit from it or plagiarize it, good luck and have fun. If I were to release something large and valuable it would be GPLv3 (possibly a data overlay generator, soon.)
True, with a brand new account and a highly up-modded comment there's a chance he's a shill too...all I know is he's full of shit and forgets (or willfully ignores/hand-waves away) the conditions that led to the creation of the GPL. I could draw a very nice political comparison here but I'd rather stay on topic.
It's a sad future. I've been thinking about joining LinkedIn as the entertainment value of building a career path that is a secret mockery of capitalism wears thin (I have no social media presence currently). I'm not ready to cave yet...but I'm thinking about it:-(
Nah we were reasonably friendly. I was taking the slow "get laid or friend-zoned trying" approach while other guys were going for the "assault with pickup lines and see what sticks" strategy.
Scenario 5.5: You're approaching climax when your phone gets knocked off the side table and hits hers on the floor. The app makes the banjo tune noise that indicates you're related...just as you both reach the height of passion 8-(
In high school one of the hottest girls who half the guys (including myself) had a boner for turned out to be a very distant relative of mine...only found out years later from my dad's family tree research hobby. Makes me feel a little better about not tapping that:-\
Are civets endangered? Are they being force fed as in "forced to eat more than they want" or force fed as in "they would never eat coffee beans on their own free will?"
Sounds like a good business opportunity, get your ethically-made civet shit coffee here!
Interesting. Is there any API shared between multiple exchanges yet or are they all doing their own thing? I guess this one is the most popular, belonging to MtGox.
I'm not planning anything too fast so the speed of executing a displayed price shouldn't be a big issue - I might even have it "measure stability" before executing a trade. Yeah I'm assuming it won't just go off a cliff and never recover but I won't put money into it that I can't afford to lose.

Is there any news of an Al Quaeda link to this?
Of course not, that's not noteworthy to the MSM, which doesn't cover crazy people news.
It's kinda icky, closer relatives are VERY icky...you'd do your sister with a condom? 8-|

I think it will be *least* popular in West Virginia...don't ask, don't tell XD

Thought I'd update to answer my own question, this program already interacts with multiple exchanges using the best access methods available:
https://github.com/vbmithr/breakbot
True, that's what makes it a real free-for-all, no bribes.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it, I bet there are programs out there to do it already but this is something I'd rather code from scratch.
I know it'll be a complex program but I'd start out using a very conservative algorithm and trading with amounts I can afford to lose.
