  1. The world would be a better place with less XP on Ask Slashdot: What If Intellectual Property Expired After Five Years? · · Score: 1
    Microsoft would have stop selling and supporting XP after 5 years. Off the top of my head most Linux distros support for 2-3 years, some 5, and redhat has the new 10. For that reason I had to change what I tell people to use from Ubuntu 6.06 to Centos 5. I know this is apples to oranges, but I like apples and oranges.

    How would the 5 years effect source code? Would this allow people to just use Linux 2.4 or what ever is 5+ years old and sell things without having to show their new source? I would foresee a forking of code coming if ip expired after 5 years.

    They want virtualization to grow. Shareing their code with other people working in the virtualization industry improves code both ways. Here they are talking about people who have little reason to improve the industry. The code can be used to censer people. Like Nuke power. It can be used for good. Bad people could use it for good too, but they are more likely to use for evil.

  15. Re:At Least... on Alan Moore on V For Vendetta and the Rise of Anonymous · · Score: 1

    A lot of slave holders did not feel slavery was right. The sub-human part only came near the very end of slavery. (Sub-human = Need to be taking care of. Some did not believed that slaves could live without their owners). The "slaves need to be taking care of like pets" came to less the guilt that many had. Slave had got better health care then the poor White people. (part of it was also, "you own this thing, so you take care of it." Slaves cost a lot to buy). When slavery ended, many went back to the same place they always worked. They found that they did not get the same health care, had to work harder (why pay 5 people when you can pay 1 person who you can replace when they die from over working), and had to feed themselves. Many Ex-salve holders made more money from the end of slavery then from before. It was about this point that sub-human = pet, turned into sub-human = disposable trash.

  16. Re:That was England... on Alan Moore on V For Vendetta and the Rise of Anonymous · · Score: 1
    If the crowd did not have guns, would the cops not have them? No. Until cops show that they know how NOT to use a gun, they need to know that there is a price for beating unarmed people to death. The cops need to hold them selves to a higher slandered. Shooting someone != paper work. Cop A does something and feels guilty. Copy B covers for cop A. Cop B is a real bad cop. But now Cop B has Cop A covering for him all the time.

    Like the helicopter shooting civilians, journalists thing. They should have just come out with it when it happened. From what they said it sounds like a few things are needed: 1) The video that the pilot sees in not as good as the cam sees. So, they should work on giving the pilot a better view. If they cover it up, they would have to hide the lack of a good pilot view. 2) Training. The pilots do not get the training and information needed to deal with the type of warfare. So improve the training. But if they hide what happening, they will not know how to improve training.

    Things happen in stopping crime. Mistakes are made. Every mistake should not make a head roll. Cops should not fear people finding out. They should feel safe that If they made a mistake that as long as they are open about it and try to find ways to learn from them, that they will not be fired.

Should the library force people who are doing their bio homework to hide somewhere encase a little kid sees it?

    science does not have any morals. It can be taking to extremes too. That is why code of ethics are needed. The code CAN be based on things found in science (can something feel pain). That is what helps keep the same things from being done in the name of science.
