He's right, you're wrong. Our knowledge of the speed of light being a hard limit is well-established. It's old stuff now. Anyone suggesting that it is not a hard limit is either about to be the next Einstein or is an enormous dumbass. Any interstellar travel will be somewhere between "mankind's greatest migration, powered by more resources than mankind had used in all of history before" and "impossible."
Governments won't get that. They haven't understood the pointlessness of DRM despite much greater, longer-running demonstrations of its futility, and in that case there's no steady flow of corpses motivating the public to push the government to act.
No I tried all kinds of searches, but I'll try FileExplorer Free later today.
And although managing files from a phone is a perfectly legitimate activity, what I was really trying to do was access movies and music on a Samba share, which I never had trouble doing on my phone..."sudo apt-get install vlc kernel-power-modules"...problem solved.
I've been having it my own way for many years, and never ever until now has curation been necessary. Fuck "balance," I'll prejudge that gilded cage for what it is.
Those are the irresponsible doofuses car guys are most ashamed of...but luckily even their greatest idiocies rarely get anyone killed other than themselves.
I'd like to see that "Mustang 240SX" though, must be a very rare car:-P
I agree the AWB isn't very helpful. Universal background checks are a step in the right direction, of putting the responsibility of owning a gun on the gun owner.
When the first cars came out people cared a great deal, and wanted flagmen to walk ahead of every car...you really don't know the history of this.
And here you've demonstrated another difference. We car guys don't overreact and exaggerate. If anyone wants any new gun control whatsoever, they're trying to TURK YER GURNZ oh noes! And it's all part of some giant gub'mint conspiracy to disarm the populace! Not about trying to cut down on gun crime, that's a ridiculous cover.
It was pulled because it was GPL. I realize that the conflict is in the GPL license and not the app store license and that the VLC publishers had the option of violating the GPL, but this doesn't change the fact that the two are incompatible.
Point out some free video players that play multiple formats.
You obviously know nothing of emissions regulations, DOT approval of tires, the car crushings of Ontario, California, car safety regulations, noise regulations around event sites, the shitstorms that occur every time some doofus spectator wants to be part of the action at a stage rally and gets his wish, what happens to companies who make anything that looks like it could be used to cheat an emissions test, how racing clubs have to self-police to avoid the long dick of the law.
We've avoided it getting quite as bad as the gun situation, where it becomes a top issue to world leaders, through self-policing. Still we tolerate (and quietly work around, where appropriate) regulations that would make gun nuts shit themselves.
Thank your lucky stars every day that guns are far easier to modify, compete with and still take into public than cars. Or lose it and then realize what you took for granted, I don't care.
I don't quite work for free, but I don't make software to be resold. I don't get paid any more once development is finished. My only customers are corporations.
I know but lawmaking isn't about logic and facts, it's about public attention, and that's what these guys have been whipping up with their bragging to the media.
I'd have no problem if they would keep their project quiet where only people who wanted to know about it were likely to find it, but these idiots have been bragging to the media about every achievement from the beginning.
Gun nuts could learn a lot from car guys. We know how to keep stuff quiet, not be a bunch of whiny babies, and stay on the good side of the law.
The "bastards" shouldn't have put it there in the first place, the iOS App Stores rules are incompatible with the GPL. I don't see that as a problem with the GPL.
Therefore you recommend a collection of single-format media players?
Pissing and moaning about the fact that everything you need isn't available for free is naive, developers like to get paid.
Why is this naive? It's a step backwards. Apart from some commercial games I only use free (at least as in beer, mostly also as in speech) software on my other computers. Why should I have to go backwards with iOS?
And I condemned iOS LONG before I tried finding any software for it, just based on how the software is managed on the OS.
Don't remember the name of the app that had a limit, but it was pitiful, basically only useful as a proof-of-concept. I'll find an iOS device and try FileExplorer Free.

Nothing, until they get cheap enough that they're swarming all over the place and everywhere has as much video surveillance as London.
Here I'll say it calmly.

The FSF says the licenses are incompatible and any GPL apps in the app store are in violation:

I wouldn't think it's worth worrying about.

In a society that saw free speech as a frivolity that only geeks use I sure would.

LOL you can't be serious.
Desktop software is post-scarcity. Deal with it.

Well then let them manufacture and excuse, don't provide it.

I care because these guys are going to get 3D printing criminalized and encourage government support of curated computing.
