Far fetched claim, you say? Have you read any news, or watched any videos of the air shows around the world? Gen5 and Gen6 aircraft are flying, today. We can't get our shitty Gen5 into service, because it's a non-flying piece of shit. Pilots used to claim that they could fly a brick, if they had enough power. But, I never heard a pilot claim that he could fly a fuckiing turd - and that's the F-35, a huge god-damned turd.
This list is interesting, in that there are ten contenders, some of which only offer photos of static model planes. http://www.wonderslist.com/fif... Note that the Chinese offering is photographed while landing on an AIRCRAFT CARRIER - something the F-35 doesn't seem capable of doing yet.
FFS, man, have you been living under a rock? Every arms manufacturing nation in the world has been designing and manufacturing aircraft to outperform the F-35 since the F-35 was announced. The difference between the US and all those other airframe builders is, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY BUILT THEIRS!!
The rest of the world is already designing the NEXT GENERATION, meant to defeat their own aircraft, all of which can already defeat the F-35.
It's tough to stay in the lead, when we have our heads up our asses.
You can create derivative works, or you can do performances, or any number of other things. I don't believe that you can put the original work up on a server and charge for it.
IMO - putting it on Youtube for commercial purposes doesn't fall under public domain laws.
Let us go way back into the mists of time. Copyright granted pretty much one thing, and one thing only. Copyright guaranteed that IF - that really big, huge IF - anyone should make a profit off of any given work, then the AUTHOR should share in that profit.
That is only reasonable.
Where copyright has gone so very wrong is, the moment privileged, entitled individuals assumed that they were intitled to some kind of profit for every work they produced.
So, yeah, if a corporate entity is making money off of something of yours, you should get a share of the profit.
If no one profits, then you get a share of that no profit.
Let me work on this - 0 plus x minux 0 multiplied by zero - yeah, it's pretty damned close to zero.
Not likely. Russia had some hard times - really hard times - when they sold off everything that wasn't nailed down to come up with cash. They sold off that old inventory, or palmed it off on debtors.
The rebels are getting late-model equipment, but probably not the latest. Ukraine, on the other hand, still has huge quantities of 30+ year old military equipment.
Sorry, no, but ancient Buc missiles would clearly mark Porkochenko as the guilty party.
Fuck a whole bunch of sexist prigs. There are literally hundreds of women in this world whom I personally know AND respect. There are hundreds more whom I have never met, but I respect them for who and what they are. There are thousands more whom I've met, for whom I have little of either respect or contempt. Then, there are the Hillary's of the world. I have nothing but loathing and contempt for them.
Since the bitch is a bitch, why shouldn't I use the term? What, exactly, is sexist about that? I refer to Bill as a son of a bitch often enough. Dogs. Lowly dogs, both of them.
Yeah - some of the other posters here seem to think that sleeping her way into the senate is an accomplishment. They have a number of names that might apply to her - tramp, gold-digger, and more - but most people don't consider those an "accomplishment".
Just about every former member of the old Soviet has Buc missiles. I want to know what MODEL of Buc missile they found at the site.
It seems that the story about two attack jets shadowing the airliner may be red herrings. So, at this point in time, the most important question is, "Which Buc missiles, precisely, were used to down the aircraft?"
If it was a model from the '70's or '80's then we blame Porkochenko and Ukraine.
If it is a modern, up-to-date model, the Putin bites the big green weenie. They haven't sold any new model missiles to Ukraine, or any of the other former client nations.
Doesn't much matter. The bitch was inept at her supposed job, and she thought that everything she did was to be arranged for her fucking CONVENIENCE.
And, people actually want to make EXCUSES for her?
Worse - some people want her to be PRESIDENT?!?!?!?!
I'll waste a little more bandwidth, and ask, name three things that Hillary has ever done. Just three accomplishments. You can't name three. You'll have to stretch hard to even try it.
The woman has been rich all her life, she has never had to do a damned thing that wasn't fun, thrilling, or somehow appealing to her. She's never worked a day in her life. The one more-or-less honest job she ever had, she was fired from. (Watergate, in case you don't remembers.)
But, go ahead, make excuses for her.
You can visit any diner in America, and find one or more women who are more qualified to be president than skanky-ass Hillary. If you INSIST that we need a female president, please, start visiting diners.
Maybe - maybe not. When the "engineers" set this thing up, they probably established permissions. I'm not all that familiar with QNX, but I believe it actually has a security model. If the rules were written to permit this peripheral to do that, and another peripheral to do thus, then the OS can't be blamed for the results of those permissives rules.
Kinda like Android. Linux is a pretty robust, reliable, and secure operating system. So, the "engineers" put Linux on a phone, then wrote a bunch of silly-assed rules, and granted permissions to apps to do whatever they want. Security sucks - but it's not Linux' fault that it sucks.
What are the odds? How many miles do automobiles travel for each traumatic injury suffered in an accident, as opposed to bicycles? Play the odds, and the bicycle rider is probably coming out ahead.
And, no, I've certainly NOT suggested that a bicyclist has any odds when he collides with an automobile - I've suggested that he's LESS LIKELY to be involved in a serious accident.
That's my kind of idea. WTF do we, as a nation, put up with this kind of asinine shit? Boycott everything Hollyweird for a month, and we'll have their attention. "Play nice, or you're out of the pool, kiddies." Fuck Holloweird, and fuck most of the "entertainment" industries.
We really, really, REALLY need to support the independents, and tell the big boys to go to hell.
I've pretty much dismissed much of Android, because the damned phones are compromised before they leave the factories, and further compromised by the carriers who purchase them. Android isn't being sold to the public, so much as Android is being sold to the surveillance community.
I did understand the "typical average user" bit. And, I've pretty clearly stated that the "typical average user" needs to fucking grow up. If Mr. and Mrs. Typical can't understand the toys they are playing with, then they shouldn't be using them.
Funny thing about *nix exploits - damned near all of them are patched within days or weeks. Sure, there are some that remain unpatched after years, even decades, but those are the exceptions that prove the rule.
Proprietary software? As often as not, the proprietor won't acknowledge the exploit. If acknowledged, the exploit may or may not be patched, someday. If patched, the patch may or may not leave your machine in an operating condition.
I'm remembering WinXP SP2 which left my Athlon XP based machine stuck in a rebooting cycle, indefinitely. I don't recall what they hell they were trying to patch now, but the patch was a dismal failure for anyone who had an Athlon XP chip. That wasn't the first, nor the last such Microsoft update to utterly hump the camel.
Honesty requires that I admit that Linux isn't immune to humping the camel. Right now, I am unable to boot to the newest kernel available through Debian. The 4.2 kernel has failed to boot repeatedly - first the Liquorix kernel, then the Siduction kernel, then a kernel that I compiled myself. THANKFULLY, Grub allows me to choose to use an older, proven kernel, so I'm not stuck in an endless rebooting cycle.
Now, maybe you don't see a difference between proprietary patching, and open source patching. But, to me, it's a huge difference.
I was thinking more along the lines of pablum. You can feed balogna to a beginning toddler, whereas feeding him steak might be a waste of time. When the little guy's teeth are fully grown in, then you can give him real meat.
The rest of your post seems to be a rant on "WHY ISN'T *NIX AS EASY AS WINDOWS?"
The answer to that might be, *nix isn't as easy to exploit as Windows is, and we like it that way.
" If you can't make something for the layman to understand, YOU HAVE ZERO FUCKING BUSINESS SELLING IT TO THE LAYMAN."
Yet, more than a billion laymen are happy running Windows, which they can't claim to understand. Somehow, you're failing to make sense. Want to start all over?
So, approach the thing more intelligently. I've broken Linux. Many of us have broken Linux. Yeah, it can be a pain in the ass to repair it - many of us have just given up and reinstalled. Reinstall only takes a half hour, or less, but repairing the damage that I've caused out of stupidity can take days to repair.
Two routes to solve most of the problems, include: 1. put your home folder on a different hard drive than the OS. Many times, I've simply reinstalled, and pointed the installer to my separate drive, and told it NOT TO FORMAT/home. In half an hour, I'm pretty much where I started out when I fucked the system up.
2. Install your favorite distro, then install VirtualBox. Do all your stupid shit inside of a virtual machine. Extra benefits - you can install MULTIPLE VM's. Do all of your online banking from one machine. Do all of your online gaming from another machine. Do your general browsing in another. Experiment with the operating system in another machine. Keep another separate machine for your employer's crap. Just look at all that redundant security - your boss can't install an application that will discover that you like to dress in drag, because his stuff doesn't even share the same OS that you use to troll the gay forums.
Windows is so damned stupid a choice, I can't imaging why so few people see that.

I didn't want that bastard teaching kids anything at all. I don't need any immoral cutthroat bastards in the family, thank you very much.

They aren't selling those works - they are selling a service, that is a printing service.

Copyright is good now? Ok. Got it.

People are reverse engineering their shit, and Google is destroying value. This is a pretty sure sign that Oracle is going down.

That is, indeed, the question. Basically, she ignored all the rules, because a Clinton is above the rules.
Seems that Teflon Bill has a better coat of Teflon than Hillary has. Some of that shit is finally beginning to stick to her.

If you're interested in security, you'll buy a router which you can flash and program to your own liking.
I don't know how to counter a custom spying chip that might be embedded on your router's board, but defeating software is pretty damned easy.

Ubuntu is to Linux as balogna is to meat.
