We're sacrificing every great thing we have in this country. Never the military though. We need to have a bigger military than every country on earth x 2.
The whole "I invented the internet" bullshit came straight from the mouth of Rush Limbaugh, so that should tell you why you see this endlessly parroted, nearly 20 years later.
Yay for the devaluation of labor! If cheap wages are "affordable" for the CEO's to continue their bonuses and golden parachutes, we should all get rid of unions! The south still has room for progress though, they still won't work as cheap as the Chinese.
The rich can afford it. We provide them with the society that enabled their success. The poor and middle class do the dirty work, and fight the wars, the least the rich could do is chip some money in...
Oh you mean after Republicans blocked it? Nice try. I love how you guys pretend to give a shit about his promises, after sabotaging what he tries to do.
Not a precursor at all. It was the MPAA, and Macrovision. It's a simple method, where the tape has junk data between frames. When played back on a TV you'll never see them, but if another VCR tries to record it, it will try to record the entire data stream, and end up with artifacts when played back.
I think you need to figure out what "grassroots organization" means. If the party gets it together, or a few rich guys fund it, then it isn't grassroots........
In case you hadn't noticed, the OWS movement is a grassroots movement that didn't need something like Freedom Works to bus people in to their events.
The Tea Party opposes net neutrality. They say it is against free speech rights of the telecoms. You can look it up for yourself. Many tea party members are also against gay marriage, they are not agreeable on that issue at all.
I see a lot of revisionism regarding the tea party. Their main issue was taxes. Taxed Enough Already. They successfully got the tax cuts on the top 1% to stay, and after that there hasn't been too many FreedomWorks / Fox News sponsored rallies.
He learned it by watching a show called "bullshit", made by two magicians. They also showed how cigarette smoke is harmless, and global climate change is a "hoax".
Minecraft IS a Linux game. You don't get to call something not a Linux game just because it is multi-platform. Even the company this story was about was set up to port games from other platforms to Linux. The only computer system that has exclusive games for it is Windows, as even Mac games are multi-platform.
So yes, you can move the goalposts and declare there to be no market for Linux games, by saying that multi-platform games don't count. Congratulations, you win the internet.
Never said that was my largest more successful example. Look at the Minecraft team. Mojang went from "one guy working out of an apartment", to now being a full fledged studio with a bunch of employees, and a multi-million dollar company. Part of their success is that you can play Minecraft on anything, including Linux.
The key thing here is that many of these indie guys are getting rich on this model. They don't need to compete with global multi-national corporations. They are doing just fine.
Hint: These games are turning a huge profit, and they don't cost 480 million to make. You're comparing the number 1 MMO in the world, to "two dudes working out of an apartment".

Congress controls the budget. The president isn't a dictator.
NASA isn't a company, and it's not welfare.

Glad to see /. sticking to their slogan of "news for nerds".

We're talking cd-keys. Even the id software Linux ports still require a CD key.
Then by all means sign up for it.
You don't even get 25.00 up front, you get 5 dollars, and then every 3 months, they give you 5 more dollars. Anyone who signs up for this is my enemy.

You're missing the important implications of this. Can't we just coat our bones in this stuff, and simply bounce off of anything now?
Or Reagan saying "I do not recall" during the Iran-Contra trial. But that was serious, so of course no one today really remembers it.

Since Nixon? You obviously weren't around for the Cold War.
Yeah I agree. They did not get 110% efficiency on their first try, so it's time to pack it in and give up.
There is a lot of evidence for the former... Unless you're one of those people who "chose" to be straight.

Yeah that's why every tea partier on my facebook feed passes around the "drug test for welfare" poll every other day.
