When the phone company installs a new box on the wall, along with a 70% cut in telephone bills, they will all have VoIP. The idea that people will put voice over IP over voice is just silly. They will put all voice over IP. They will dump their analogue modems and use a cheap network gateway.

The GPL doesn't say that the licensee promises to sub-license the derived work under the GPL. It says that permission is granted to copy and redistribute verbatim copies under the GPL, and permission is also granted to copy and redistribute modified, derivative works under the GPL.
You do not have to do anything, you simply may not do anything else (because you have no right to do anything else) -- other than not copy or modify the work. If you were not offered a license, then you may not do anything with the work; under the license terms, if you do anything else that it has not permitted you to do, you have broken copyright law.
The license simply says the copyright owner doesn't mind you doing those things specified, and that anything else you weren't allowed to do, you are STILL not allowed to do.
I also ANAL, but I've read the GPL and it said I am granted additional rights WRT to the work, including some forms of modifying and redistribution. It did not say that I agree to license *any* of my work under GPL, but made it clear that if I don't use GPL for a piece of my work, then that piece of work must not be derived from the GPL'd one. Anything else and I have merely illegally copied/derived from the work as if I hadn't had a license.

A human being emits CO2 that they produced from sugar and oxygen that was itself produced by the opposite reaction using sunlight and so is a part of a sustainable carbon cycle. The CO2 from your car engine is a rapid release of CO2 from a huge reserve of carbon that the biological systems of this planet are not currently equipped to deal with.
2.5 lbs per day + 3.5 lbs per day is apparently too much. Do you propose that instead of reducing the amount of CO2 produced by cars that we instead begin simply culling the drivers?
> GGI tried to do too much and it abstracted too far.
KGI (the code to go into the kernel) was just a bit more sophisticated than DRI. Under KGI, the mode switching would be provided by the kernel so that you never lost all use of your console because of X crashing, text blitting routines would be included in the kernel to support Linux's in kernel terminal, for hardware with an accel engine an interface is provided for the driver to tell userspace what accel methods are available. It is as simple as that. KGI was never "acceleration in the kernel" as was shouted about a lot, it was "operations that can render your console or system bus unusable are allowed with care taken to ensure that nothing bad can happen while maintaining DRI level performance".
For matrox (a good, stable accel interface), userspace could query what interface is available and the driver might respond "matrox mmap interface" since it is safe to mmap the accel registers from userspace. If there were any code to operate the accel registers they would be in a badly designed driver (or a driver for badly designed hardware), and nothing to do with KGI *at* *all*.
KGI is the minimum necessary to safely support high performance graphics from userspace and that's not a lot.
If I don't buy a record, I am depriving the record company of money to which they would be otherwise (if I hadn't refused to buy) entitled. Is walking past HMV on your way work without going in therefore theft of the record company's money? No. If they never had the money, you haven't *necessarily* stolen it from them.
You are arguing that X cannot be defined as A, because it is defined as B - even though it is clearly not defined as B. If it were, then every act or refusal to act by anybody would be burglary because if circumstances were different someone could have had more money. I could have more money if I killed both my parents, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't stop me if I try.
Plagiarism is only even close to theft when you are preventing the author or licencees from receiving money or other benefit that they would otherwise have a *right* to have. That is why plagiarism is not precisely equivalent to theft, because theft requires that a person has a right to the goods that are stolen, and not *all* plagiarism falls under that restriction. Also theft itself even requires that the person actually had the goods - if they didn't then you are infringing on their economic rights but not stealing.
As the previous poster tried to point out, "plagiarism" describes one set of actions, and "theft" describes another *different* set.
To more clearly illustrate the difference. If a courier is on his way to deliver a parcel to my brother and I jump him and take the parcel, did I steal the parcel from my brother or from the courier. Does the courier apologise to his boss saying "I'm sorry but I couldn't deliver the parcel to the intended recipient because it was stolen from him," or does he say "I couldn't... because it was stolen from *me*" ? He says the latter because I didn't steal it from my brother because my brother didn't have it.
If they're passive then they can't have an effect (they would be active). You don't fire a beam to examine spectra, stuff emits/reflects/transmits electromagnetic energy already. Letting that enery hit you doesn't have any effect unless there is quantum entanglement - but that effect is entirely natural anyway.

Abusing the GPL?

At least in the UK, copyright violations are not criminal acts. That's why you have to sue, rather than the CPS bringing a case.
For the GPL'ed work they're including, they have to leave it non-obfuscated. But they can obfuscate their own code if they want... It's their code after all, it'll be as if they were just really bad at style.
Everybody that owns a device which is capable of receiving and displaying colour terrestrial television broadcasts by licensed broadcasters must pay £100 per year (less if they can only display in greyscale). This license fee (TAX) is there to guarantee a quality radio and internet service to *everybody*, and to guarantee that there is quality television programing that doesn't narrow its interest to what will provide more profitable advertising slots.
I think the BBC should only use protocols which are available to everybody at the lowest cost for any necessary reception device (ie, if it only works on windows, you have to spend more than strictly necessary based on technical grounds). This development is a very good thing, I hope they decide to make this a formally supported service after the test period. I'm certainly willing to pay the license fee for such a brilliant national public service (public services have to be paid for, and this is a great way to do it).

You must be careful with your trig and margins for error. This design may fail in proximity to a massive object where the curve of space affects the path of the photons. You cannot increase the information density too much as a beam may strike it's neighbours receptor by mistake.
