The French are the Americans of Europe. The Americans think they are the entire world, the French think they are the whole of Europe. Nothing new here.
My biggest fear is IDEs and other front-end fucking up my code. That, and auto-generated code that gets auto-fucked-up when you want to sanitize it. Alas I have to work with Visual Studio a lot, so my fears are quite real. But my experience with some Java IDEs is that they behave the same.

Just like the Dollar after Nixon "forgot" the Bretton Woods agreement, and, in its wake all the other currencies based on the gold value of the Dollar.
Why did they do that instead of becoming, say, hedge fund managers?
Because, even when they had some money, they still had at least a spark of humanity left within them? Being human and being a vulture capitalist just don't mix.
True, the amount of people probably remains the same. Initially. Some of them may get seriously ill though. Poison remains poison, no matter how "smart" you sell it.
Tried it. Didn't work. Because I rely on iterative development, I use "make-it-work" statements a lot and have one master SQL script that I can use to both create a new database or upgrade an existing one (see Evolving A Database With MySQL). This requires a lot of "IF NOT EXISTS" clauses or "ON CONFLICT" clauses. MySQL features quite a few of them, and I could not find most of them in Postgres. Even the SQL standard MERGE command is not supported.
Also, with the zillion ways of logging in to a database, I had to follow a few "just type this and it will work" manuals on the internet to be able to log in into my own local sandbox database. I still don't know how I could ever configure Postgres to do authorization and I fought myself through a large part of the manual. It's just too complex and abstract.
Yup. They could fork the old documentation and add corrections themselves. Mind you, that is a lot of work. I can imagine that the community favours switching to MariaDB instead.
Err, no. Microsoft is a megacorp that just tries to take over anything IT-related. Google is a megacorp that tries to take over anything IT-related. Not much of a difference.
Only humans can own patents (not legal persons which are now corporations.) The rights should be non transferable (as most rights should be.)
You are so right. "Intellectual Property" rights in the current system rarely rest with the people they naturally belong to. If you are to claim ownership of an idea, it should be obvious that it had to be your idea to begin with. You cannot transfer the fact that you invented something (patent), nor the fact that you wrote something (author's right), nor the fact that you designed something (trademark, design patent, etc).
(I know that sounds too unusual, but bare with me.)
I am not a nudist, but thank you for the invitation.
Tying IP rights to people will not stop the corporations from taking the profits. Patents, for example, are way to expensive for mere mortals, so the corporations will want to "help", but off course under their conditions (agreement to stay with the company, part of the profits, etc). A right is a right that you should simply have because of the situation are in. Not something you have to buy.

Is that really too much to ask for?

If you had worn the lenses, you could have read that it is acutally "Anthill Inside"
No, but he will once he has a pilot's licence for his ROFLCOPTER.
Probably making fun of Christians for believing in property. Our property laws are quite Roman and Christianity may be the means that has spread them.

Are people from the (N/U)SA called (N/U)SAns?

What if you send Google a Cease-and-Desist letter? You won't be the only one who does this, and you would have more right to do so than others.
I use Ixquick in firefox, along with NoScript, adblock plus and RequestPolicy. Do I miss something?
"Real men don't do backups. They just e-mail their stuff and let PRISM mirror it."
Off course. Rainbows and puppies are already copyrighted. They could never be used in a written document.

"Google My Precious" would have been more geeky.
Tor already assumes the existence of such an adversary as the NSA, so what's the story here?
That TOR is right. Even in countries that are not a far-from-my-bed dictatorship.

If you call "that is a known bug" support, then you are right. Basic controls like radio buttons are not working on Windows XP. And they won't fix it.
Java and HFT? Shouldn't you be coding assembler just for the speed of it?
Yup. And the backpack is basically a Pirate Box with a solar panel. That is only innovative to patent lawyers.
What on a plane is STEM? And why does anyone think it is a good idea to throw talent to the vultures?
if the algorithm finds something, it will warm law enforcement.
I may not always agree with law enforcement, but I do not think they are THAT corrupt.
