Unless you make it criminal. Criminalizing is the best way to make prizes blow through the roof. If anyone could grow his own potatoes, they would be cheap. If anyone could grow his own hemp, it would be as cheap as potatoes. Especially in the USA people must remember what alcohol laws did to boost crime.
That is the same as saying that low wages, lack of education, child labour and the power of large factory owners were unrelated in the 19th century. Open standards, maintainable products (or FOSS in the software case) and software patents are all about corporate greed and the counter movement from a threatened society.
This is about you. I mean it. Look at the farmers who are forced by GMO companies to abide their wishes. Those farmers have a family to feed as well, which is why they need to be free.
What if you have to pay for anything that you program? What if you have to pay for each implementation that uses images, sound or videos? What if you cannot even define a normal user interface because somebody holds a "one click" patent? What if only a few large company can implement a network application because all specifications are proprietary?
Mr Stallman is fighting for you. So please stop whining and open your eyes.
I think there are a lot of practical and otherwise obstructions to remove the entire library from my house, load it up a truck and lend it to a friend. My friend also just wanted to lend one book.
If I point the solar panel towards the sun, my gizmos drop on the floor. If I don't, the sun will hardly hit it. Nice thing if you live on the equator.
Perhaps, for the rest of the world, you could explain the difference? As a bloody foreigner I can only see a political system with two exactly equal parties. It's hardly different from a one-party system, but has slightly more overhead.
It reminds me of a passage in "Interesting Times" by Terry Pratchett. It goes along the lines of:
- You are a rebel. You should be punished!
- But there are mitigating circumstances!
- There are no mitigating circumstances for rebels.
- Unless you WIN.
- Yes, that is the only mitigating circumstance.
In theory, matter in a disc of material around a newborn star could coalesce into so-called "co-orbiting" planets, but no one had spotted evidence of this before.
Off course not. Even star turtles like a little privacy.
Can somebody please explain the pros of privatising? To me, it is like selling your apple tree that you've protected all of your life to the first bystander who happens to have a lot of apples: you always loose.
Tracking has. Gathering and storing as much data as possible about you has. Driving around to get your wifi data has. If google is nice when it comes to privacy, the Ethiopian princess that asks for my bank account data is real.
That energy is not exactly "renewable" in the sense that it can be used again. However, we can make much more use of the energy input that the earth gets from the sun (directly, as in solar panels or heat engines, or indirectly, as in wind and tide energy). That energy is eventually converted to heat and radiated into space, just as the energy was originally radiated in from space. Not renewable in the exact sense, but very clean and sustainable.
That means next to nothing. Iraq was not hindered when it attacked Turkey (actually the Kurds there, but as they were not recognized they attacked Turkey). And it did not stop the US from declaring war on the Netherlands (another NATO member) for housing the International Court of Justice

I think something along the line of:
"All Patents Are Stupid"
"But Some Are More Stupid Than Others"
Really, calling propaganda "Operation Earnest Voice"? I think a few braincells just exploded.

There's a lot of choice, if I recall correctly. The only thing that is needed is for people to recognize more than two (nearly identical) parties.

I would recommend dr. Watson .

Same here. Never heard of it. But then, Europe is hardly part of America's "planet".

What I first read in the equation was: To Park is Not to Park
Well, it is kinda odd. Politicians want companies to compete to win, but they do not want any company to win.

Or better: looking at the Sony building, it will detect that it is jailbroken and download its self-destruct mechanism from Sony.
To make my Aspire One hang once in a while :( Not even the Linux SysReq keys work anymore, so I expect it is the BIOS that does it.
What is this "teller window" you speak of? Can I encourage my bank to install one?

If there was a laptop out there using that, Id buy
It's called an iPad. The keyboard is so separated that is isn't even included by default.

Maybe Iran can help open the internet in the US. They most certainly won't, but I think they have the tools to do it.
Turkey is a NATO member...

I found this book useful. It does not go too deep, but just deep enough: http://innocentcode.thathost.com/
