Why would they have to release the source code, exactly? Is Stallman going to march the GNU army into Havana and depose the government for ignoring his manifesto?
I imagine adding back doors might be more their aim, actually.
This quote from the summary:
Getting greater control over the informatic process is an important issue
certainly doesn't sound to me like concern over inspection so much as the ability to add surveillance. Control over information isn't exactly a goal you can label "open."
You're equating hard-won esoteric knowledge with common sense. Common sense as a concept is bankrupt - it doesn't exist in isolation, it is simply learned behavior which is not in any way universal. Dragging the term out derisively is a merely a rhetorical crutch.

Kudos to you though, for finding a field where you can actually spend 25 years employed by the same "company" and not get surplussed, fired, or let go.
Stagnation is a desirable job characteristic? If your attitude is prevalent, it's no wonder the economy is fucked.
And presumably all those auto industry and manufacturing workers getting fired were cheating when they took classes in high school right?
No, they were busy getting drunk and ignoring the adults who told them they'd end up with shitty jobs later on in life if they didn't take school more seriously.
All the ones who don't suck, yeah. The.com boom has been over for a decade. Get used to the idea that shitty technical skills aren't gonna fetch premium salaries any more, please.
This is basically the "I want it really badly so you should be forced to give it to me" argument used by people to justify entertainment piracy. You dressed it up a lot nicer, though. You should take it out to dance.
you don't need to worry about allocating and deallocating the references, I would imagine. Just because you hold the reference doesn't mean the object data is loaded into memory. That's handled transparently for you.
So you get the reference by creating the object. Deallocation is like deleting. It's one level higher.
I should note I'm guessing, I didn't read the article. Seems logical, though.
So there's something wrong with a dude scratching an itch and having a little fun with it? There was a time when Linux was a niche system that had no real purpose aside from the fun of making it. That seems to have worked out well.
In any case, there are interesting concepts in here that deserved to be explored, and the best way to explore programming concepts is the program them.
The point where it stops being a matter of consumer choice is when you are forced to use something unacceptable. That's not happening here, or in your Sony example.
It's nearly as amusing as all the McCain campaign trail videos with his supporters denouncing Obama as a terrorist Muslim. Just goes to show that the self-style "intellectual elite" are as stupidly human as everybody else (particularly those they deride) and turn to lies when they feel cornered.
Wow, not one of these posts has even the glimmer of a valid complaint that I can bother to rebut. It's all just whining with no coherent reasoning behind it. I'm amazed. A new low.
I knew you free entertainment types felt entitled, but bitching about a premium content deal for something that has quite a bit of expense to deliver is kind of shocking. I guess the next story will be a complaint that there are websites that charge fees for membership? I dunno. It's hard to say where this attitude logically leads because there's no logic behind it.
Are you trying to imply that since a given technology works best for embedded software, it should be used for everything? That's the whole "I have one tool in my toolbox" mentality that makes me stay away from "C IS MY GOD" people.
Feel free to find a service that provides what you want. You may have to pay more for having such a ridiculous usage pattern. Too bad for you, it really isn't a *very* residential-use application despite your declaration.
"The system" has nothing to do with it. Being poor sucks, and it will never be any different. Making the lives of non-poor shittier certainly won't change that.

Well, they put a pretty face on some backup software. And the menu bar is translucent now.
I'll thank you not to tell me what I need in the future, no matter how amazingly insightful you find your own opinion on the matter.

That's why most of us live in the cities. It keeps us from bitching about not living in the cities.

I already understand all that. Don't get snippy because your suspect logic was exposed.

What's the politically correct term? Person of unusual handedness?
Microsoft OSs? You would run a USB cable from your laptop (I assume) to the wall in the airport? Are you hoping for airport control drivers to load?

So you'd rather be a slave to big gov't? I see you've thought this through very well indeed.

oh no, stupid people won't join your side? what ever shall you do?

Oh, come on - this is the site populated by people who equate holding a copyright with evil. Are you honestly expecting a realistic usage of terms?
You're cute when you use excessive hyperbole
