At a time when budget cuts are forcing NASA to get cut back on spending, and at a time when high school science teachers struggling to capture the interests of students, low-budget space launches could be just what we all need.
I think Laurie Anderson said it best:
I remember when we were going into outer space. I remember when
the President said we were going to look for things in outer
space. And I remember the way the astronauts talked and the way
everybody was watching because there was a chance that they would burn
up on the launching pad or that the rocket would take off from Cape
Canaveral and land in Fort Lauderdale five minutes later by
mistake. And now we're not even trying to get _that_ far. Now it's
more like the bus. Now it's more like they go up just high enough to
get a good view. They aim the camera back down. They don't aim the
camera up. And then they take pictures and come right back and develop
them. That's what it's like now. Now that's what it's like.
What part of "News affecting your ability to live as a free, responsible person online belongs in the Your Rights Online (YRO) section. Spam, invasions of privacy, onerous licenses -- they all go here." is hard to understand?
If I want the legal effect of the GPL, I'll use the GPL. Using "some other contract" (sic) would be ridiculous. But that doesn't mean I necessarily buy into things the FSF claim that aren't specifically in the text.
That said, I by and large agree with the FSF/Stallman position on things, (while hypocritically making a living writing non-distributed web software.)
Nonsense. If I release software under the GPL, the spirit is what I intended, not what the FSF says. For example, I think the FSF's position with respect to an executable that links other, non-open, libraries along with my GPL (not LGPL) library, is a lot of hooey, and court interpretation is likely to be a roll of the dice.
However, in this case, it seems the argumentative developer just plain misunderstood the GPL to be free-as-in-beer when it's not.
Is that a joke? Have you missed all the comments explaining that organic production isn't so much about what molecules end up in the finished product as what the side effects of production are?
Here's an article describing some of the debatable (or at least debated) requirements for organic milk, from which you can glean a sense of the priorities being considered: http://www.tilth.org/education-research/in-good-tilth-magazine/articles/18vi/what-makes-a-cow-organic
blogs by and large are about ideas, not news, so it seems like this is an apples and oranges study, discovering (surprise, surprise) that apples are more like apples than oranges are.
Now maybe if the study had compared editorials to blogs...
I remember my supervisor saying a few months ago that a competitor had bought google ads using our companies trademark as a keyword, and google then quickly removed them at our request.
I wonder if the meat of the suit is the "confusingly similar", or ads that say "just like Rosetta Stone"?
My reaction to reading this article was: why doesn't wikipedia have a policy to publish all received notices (if not locally, then perhaps on Chilling Effects)?
Does slashdot have such a policy? If not, why not?

I'm sorry, but this is abuse. You want room 12A, just along the corridor. (Stupit git.)

artists. Poor, poor, sobs.
There are other ways.
Somebody's been reading Jennifer Government, you think?
Re gesturing like they had a gun, I watched the video twice and didn't see wtf that was talking about. Can anyone make any sense of this?
Not true. Kimball Kinnison was 875.
You missed the subject. Though I would have called those typos.
Why, oh why would you choose a license based on a popularity contest? Pick the licenses that meet your legal needs.
All the mall ninjas I know wouldn't touch the things.
...silly walks.

they're the ones who completely ignored Ron Paul's existence
Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, too.
how a judge or other judicial member would interpret and work within the tight parameters of this case
No pun intended?
I once made a patch to (among other things) the offensive fortune cookie files with diff -p0rn4u

Does your website have such a policy?
