Slashdot posts a story with a reference to an article derived from a news article on a Brazilian web site about a Brazilian protestant evangelical cult (notice: each word is deepening the specialization). In related news: A slashdot user clicks this article so he can read a funny generalization and thus laugh at all religious people because of it.

I don't know this fellow, but you've said it once too many times. And if he's such a bad astronomer, then why are you posting his *persumptions* as *true*? Could it be that you're a different kind of hole? Respect people.
Was that sarcastic or not? Because "US explosion-based" documentaries have science in them, while "animal sex" is usually a narrative, and yet news shouldn't be about people fighting (cheaper and useless) but cold hard facts (expensive, but valuable).
This reminds me of the Voyager's Doctor's ethical dillema of whether to use research of murderers. The question was left sort of unanswered by the end of the episode, as the Doctor used the research to save a life, but was distressed by that fact.
Perhaps it was inappropriate to make an analogy with fiction when talking about destructive research on human beings...
On one hand, I understand you're worried. But man, you have it easy, you don't even know it. We must equalize global wealth one way or another. It's about time you took a turn in sacrificing - even a little bit. Perhaps you'll do something else. That Indian guy, on the other hand, will be able to feed his family. And you're no better than him. In fact, you just might be worse. And whether Obama lied to you or not - you should've thought about that when you voted for him. But the *change* of abortion laws didn't prevent you from falling for the hype, so why would this?
O.T. P.S. if anyone has a Firebug extension, what the heck is this slug-Bottom transparent div that covers a quarter of my comment box? Didn't I file a bug about it already?
So you claim Google filters out copyright-infringing content? Since when? Perhaps if a company knows how to compete with Google, it knows how to win its own countrymen to their own service?
It's useful to imagine it does, but it remains an abstraction only. For all... physical purposes, it makes no sense. That's the impression I've got anyway, you're invited to bash.
we spend our time stuck in traffic or on a broken down train...
And the solution is: Waiting for, on average n/2-1 people (1 being you, n being those who need to get to work as well) to enter their cabins and pedal away.
While the way the train would work is people are forced to arrive on time, and then the car leaves with everyone at once. Granted, having a hanging bike is better for when people go to work at Google, since we all know they do that whenever, work there for how ever much they want on whatever they want... and then they party and have all kinds of in-company fun and games. Also it is environmentally friendly, and they love that - when they're not using planes.
So, how about a backup train engine/car/railway instead for their clients?
With what exactly do you agree with? That he's responsible, but shouldn't be able to fix it?
Darnit, the whole web filtering dillema is hard. On one hand, I'd like individuals to be responsible, not service providers. On the other hand, I fully support unplugging servers/people for illegal activities other than file-sharing (call me bias). Also with the former, taking down individuals would require authentication of some sort, and that's unacceptable, but that is now besides the point.
About this case however: Tor-node-provider-guy isn't to blame, he had no knowledge of wrongdoing whatsoever (unlike when you get a take-down notice), and was willing to rectify the situation. CERT guys on the other hand, weren't willing to help him. So if you're looking to blame somebody...
Purpose of the BSD license also is to let everyone use code freely the way they want, the only true form of freedom.
Purpose of the PUBLIC DOMAIN also is to let everyone use code freely the way they want, the only true form of freedom.
Once you start demanding something more than attribution you're removing freedom and limiting what people can do, making it no better than just having a commercial license.
Once you start demanding something more than NOTHING you're removing freedom and limiting what people can do, making it no better than just having a commercial license.
This is also why I view BSD license as way more free than GPL, which has many, many limitations forced upon you. Not really the definition of freedom, is it?
This is also why I view PUBLIC DOMAIN as way more free than BSD, which has many, many limitations forced upon you. Not really the definition of freedom, is it?
See what I did there? Now, let's get serious: Freedom to kill would also be a freedom right? Does that mean it's good, and people should have it? Of course not! While BSD licenses are closer to freedom technically, GPL brings closer to a free world in practice. In a world without copyright your stance would be valid. This isn't that world, and we shouldn't feed the opposite camp. The only argument I've heard to contest mine is: "Proprietary software isn't intrinsically bad". Well if you think that, there's not much to discuss in the first place. We view software freedom very differently. I advocate all user's and every author's freedom, and you advocate *first* derivative programmer's freedom. In a world with copyright and freedom insensitive authors, the latter very often impedes the former. And that is what GPL is the right way to go: copyleft. If a proprietary software author looses the opportunity to leech on the community, so be it. They can sell their software as if it were a physical product. They're not the victims here.
You make the mistake of mentioning this arrangement to your family, and they leave you. But you are not deterred because you're saving the planet, damn it. You'll get a new family. A greener one.
I can see how someone would leave a person who can make that joke.

I wonder if that did more damage to the film than your torrent and seeding. Perhaps the "religious groups" should pay for their 'infringment', huh?
It's darn ugly. You might've gotten used to it, but for me - looking into what Geek Squad is for the first time - I've got to say that logo belongs on an early 90's surfboard. "Baywatch squad" or something.

Very, very, VERY confused. o.O
"I used IE6, and I didn't get a rate. In fact, i don't think the page exists at all. This may be fake"
When did they introduce "A lot of text +1" moderation?
I like the "Frankenstein mobile operating system" phrase though.
Apple is such a.... company.. ungh *shudders*
Who is Ted Samson, and what is his problem with MeeGo?
I can't see it, but I have seen such things in the past now that I think of it.
Don't mod me bro!

There goes another one of my ideas. Of course #bittorrent isn't logged. I should really start a darned blog :-(

Wish I had some mod points, but I don't. So, you get those letters instead: thx.

BSD - license to kill free derivatives.
Here's your argumentation in one old XKCD-style doodle of mine: http://arka.foi.hr/~lmarcetic/pic/strip/001_bsdvsgpl.png
BSD works in a world without copyright. There is no such world. Therefore, BSD does not work.

Can't even say "HUMAN EMBRYONIC stem cell policy" correctly.
if there's a FSF campaign against Apple. Off to fsf.org
