Wait, so if I read that upside down I'm allowed to read only the comment that we all suck and nothing else? Reminds me of the signs saying "no smoking outside this building".
I never said that you need the GPLv3 to fix it. I said that it does fix it, and everything similar you can think of. There's a slight but important difference there.
The loophole being proposed is just a variant of Tivoization. And the GPLv3 already fixes it, and anything else that gives out source while not giving you everything you need to build it.
The civil war was about independence. It was good (people that just wanted to be left alone) vs. evil (imperialist Northern states wanting power). Doesn't Jesus's golden rule clearly lay down an opposition to using military force against innocent unaggressive nations?
I say spread out into space. If we only have a few thousand people per rock (think rings of Jupiter and Saturn), a terrorist can only wipe out a few thousand people. Spreading anything throughout the entire solar system is impractical - most of it will fall into the sun/a gas giant and the rest will break up on collision at over a kilometer per second. Delivery mechanisms like missiles can be detected and shot down with lasers (that takes care of thermonuclear war destroying everything as well).
Guy: Hi, I have a security vulnerability, I'll tell you the details for $10k.
Software Company: Ok, show us the vulnerability.
Guy: Ok, I'll come over and demonstrate on my computer.
Software Company: Oh no, not on your computer, you could have set your computer up to be vulnerable. Do it to our computer, so we know you're not tricking us.
Guy: Ok, fine (launches attack on company computer)
Security Researcher A: Ok, the attack's coming in. Let's see what it's doing.
Security Researcher B: Ok, looks like a buffer overflow in the third step of the authentication process. Let's go tell our developers.
Guy: Guess what, it worked. Looks like I'm not tricking you after all. So, will you buy the vulnerability from me for the $10k we agreed on now?
It shall be as if the law never existed? So the law just gets revoked and it can get passed again with no penalty? I propose something a bit harsher.
Section III
Politicians supporting bills that are found unconstitutional are given strikes, and after a politician accumulates 3 strikes he must immediately leave office and cannot assume elected office for 15 years. Any of the following constitutes a strike:
1) Initiating a bill that is later found unconstitutional. 2) Approving of such a bill as President when the possibility of rejection is available. 3) Voting for such a bill.
That way the politicians won't try to approve anything that looks like it might possibly tiptoe on our constitutional rights.
1) Water vapor is part of the fast-paced water cycle, and adding water vapor to the atmosphere reduces the time until the next rainfall, so the effect is temporary. CO2 is much more longterm.
2) The whole CO2 thing is misleading. The worst offenders (eg. coal/oil plants) release a lot of other, worse waste (eg. hundreds of times more radioactive waste than modern nuclear power plants), that should also be taxed. CO2 is a way to simplify the problem and falsely render it one-dimensional (presumably so the average person has a simple idea to latch onto, and doesn't have to think for himself).
3) You do realize that normal power plants also have cooling towers, right?
Microsoft to publish their source code under OSS licenses? So you want Steve Ballmer's toe cheese to not only be smelled by you but also to proliferate throughout the entire internet?
Who here isn't willing to sacrifice a few years off their lives to protect our children from people with a bomb laden (please!) SUV in their underwear?
Clearly, we must ban people who are too fat from planes.
Even the evil Schneierist cult of anti-security would have to admit that would be nice for the rest of us.
You go twice as fast, you get twice as many particles hitting you per second with four times (energy is proportional to v^2) the oomph. That's 8 times as much fuel consumption, brought down to 4x because you get there twice as quickly.
You may not realize it, but you act very differently depending on whether you're with family, friends, another category of friends or complete strangers. You adopt different personalities for different situations without even consciously realizing it. You might think you have one life, but in truth there isn't anything linking them except for the fact that they share a single memory.
And Avatar has a to-date gross revenue of $2.71 billion dollars. So if this turns out to be open source Avatar, there will be lots of people going to watch it.
I disagree. All he gave was an ad hominem attack. He didn't attack Tate's criticism, he tried to argue that Tate had no right to criticize him because he didn't make anything himself, which is ridiculous - if I'm not a politician I'm not allowed to criticize my government? In my eyes, when Steve Jobs wrote that he was admitting that he could not hold up his views in legitimate debate. He was admitting defeat.
The parent is not saying that Apple products should be legally banned. He's saying why they're bad, and why you shouldn't use one. All he's doing is providing a negative review of a product.

You're correcting my mistake and you can't even spell intarwebz correctly?
Buddy, this is Slashdot
Oh, that explains it.
It's called replacing cable, satellite and everything else with just the internet.
Well if every app assumes not, then why the hell sell multitouch to begin with!
I'm just saying if all the android phones had to meet X requires...
I think you just solved your own problem. The market will ensure that people don't go off and develop devices radically different from the norm.

Never before have I ever been so proud to be both a Russian and a Canadian.

Are you suggesting that there are licenses that do achieve this purpose?

I'm pretty sure RAM does that job just fine. You don't need permanent memory.
50% accuracy? Isn't that just transmitting random data?
