  1. Re:Animals Don't Have Rights on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 1

    The right to live is not generally given to animals in our society, the others often are. Also I would say the right to be treated humanly is more fundamental the right to live. Death can be instantaneous, inhuman treatment can't

    I would say that line still exists in most societies today, however it has been moved to be between 'animals' and humans.
    I guess you have to draw such a line somewhere however, do Monkeys have rights? What about dolphins? What about snails? What about a virus?
    We have to pick some arbitrary point, I wonder on which side of the line Neanderthals would fall if they weren't extinct?

    What if the humans setup the situation with the monkeys by training them to use the camera and then putting them in a specific location to take photos (not the case here, but something to consider)? Creative effort would have been expended by both the human and the monkeys. Would it then be considered a work for hire?

  7. Re:Problem with LibreOffice is the name. on History of Software Forks Favors LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    However OpenOffice isn't the name, its name is OpenOffice.org. Which is a terrible name for non-cloud software, as others have said OpenOffice is a proprietary trademark in a number of countries. Otherwise OpenOffice and LibreOffice sound pretty much the same, just that one of them is an actually name for an office suite and the other isn't

    Those examples are very different. Most likely kids will never take illegal drugs and porn is taboo in our society. However it is very likely that kids will one day use Facebook or something similar.

  11. Re:Kids on Over 7.5 Million Facebook Users Are Under 13 · · Score: 1

    No, kids actually think of it as something that is ordinary and they want it because their parents, siblings and/or friends have it (the later being a general human characteristic not specific to children). I fail to see how having Facebook may cause teenage pregnancy, other then providing an extra channel for communication like, [gasp/] talking, or using a phone. Facebook causes teenage pregnancy in the same way that talking causes teenage pregnancy.

    I sincerly hope that you are never a parent, stupid parents causes teenage pregnancy NOT (insert communication method here)

  12. Re:What disgusts me even more on Over 7.5 Million Facebook Users Are Under 13 · · Score: 1

    And why is this stupid (apart from ignoring the TOS which most people are not even aware of)?
    Isn't it better for kids to learn how to use Facebook under parental supervision, then out of it? Same arguments as with parents allowing there kids to drink at home in small quantities, apart from Facebook use has far less negative consequences then alcohol. In the Western world kids probably have an equal chance of using Facebook and drinking alcohol when they grow up, anyway.
    Also it seems that the parents in your example are using Facebook, how it is designed to be used: to share photos, etc and keep in touch with family and friends. Personally I'm surprised Facebook hasn't created a child account with parental controls yet.

  13. Re:All 64-bit? IDE/executables/runtime script, etc on NetBeans 7.0 Is Now Available · · Score: 1

    Netbeans runs the same as you Java install. (if you have 64-bit java netbeans is 64-bit if you 32-bit java netbeans is a 32-bit app).
    On windows you may need to download the platform independent version to run in 64-bit mode (can't remember).
    Netbeans follows the standards for the language you are using for syntax checking and code completion, you specify the compiler/SDK you want to use for each project, usually netbeans auto-detects SDK install if you specify there installation directory.
    Netbeans works with 32 and 64-bit compilers.

  14. Re:Netbeans is a Superb PHP IDE on NetBeans 7.0 Is Now Available · · Score: 1

    I haven't used the php part for a while but in the HTML editor you can turn off error checking for an individual line by clicking on the code with the error and then clicking on the lightbulb and selecting "turn off HTML error checking for this line". I assume it's the same for PHP.

  15. Re:Cool! on NetBeans 7.0 Is Now Available · · Score: 1

    It is very good for java, but a bit hard to set up for C/C++ and I don't think it supports C#.
    I personally use it for all of my coding as it's formatting and code completion features are very good (even for C and HTML) and I find it easier to use then other IDE's (although Visual Studio comes close).

    Have you every considered that those people are simpily organisng people to pick them up, or trying to meet with people and that is why they are using there phone. If someone is callling out of necisity or non-social purpose it is far more resonable then disturbing the peace on public transport for social reasons.

    The outrage here is what he is being prosecuted for not that he is being prosecuted, dubbing lyrics over a music video is not child porn and he should not be charged with that crime which will destroy his life. If I was him I would be suing all those involved for an amount sufficient to create a false identity and a new life because that is what appears to be necessary for people charged with such crimes to get on with there life these day.
