The second one makes a lot more sense, with the intermediate variable names explaining exactly what's going on, and doesn't wrap around the right side of the screen.
Orthogonal? As in Google's interests being equally fulfilled regardless of the privacy situation? Orthogonal is 90', you're looking for "diametrically opposite".
It's not stealing, or anything close to it. It's building on an existing pool of literature and culture, ie. the whole point of copyright in the first place. If everyone had to start from scratch, there would never be any Progress.
Isn't it illegal for the US government to ask someone else, whether it's a foreign government or a telecom company or a 13 year old Russian hacker, to spy on someone if it's illegal for them to do the spying themselves? From what I recall, this is what happened with the telecoms a while back.
A very skilled human, after watching a movie once, might recall most of the dialogue and how every scene looked. A computer would remember the precise position of everything after every frame. And that's a type of recalling particularly suited to the human mind. Memorizing things with no pattern whatsoever (like digits of pi) would be even more in the computer's favor.
I think computers win all the objectively measurable forms of intelligence pretty fully.
The market has shown that many people actually want the option of giving up some freedom in exchange for a few hundred dollars. it's a tradeoff you're not willing to make, and I'm not willing to make, but some people are, and we should respect their choice. It's not corporate oppression, the customers signed up willingly, they're getting exactly what they want.
I can read my computerized notes in the Starbucks, at a friend's house and on the subway, since my laptop is always with me. You can't do that with a big binder full of notes. Written notes are the ones that randomly fall out never to be seen again. As for distractions, it's called self-discipline. If you can't do that, you can even shut off your wireless for the duration of the class. If that doesn't help, you can make a custom Linux Live CD without the internet packages. The only argument in favor of paper is drawing diagrams.
It's at very low concentrations, in water, and filtering tritium out of water is hard (especially if it's ditritium oxide). So no, they're not going to try to recover any of it.
No, I think the nuclear plants should pay the cleanup costs. Coal plants, however, spew out stuff like this every day, and they should also pay cleanup costs. Socializing the losses, if done evenly, harms nuclear only against wind power and some of the better incarnations of hydro and solar.
It isn't even the year of Tux on the desktop, so how can we even hope to get him on the internet?

What is this difference? Most repositories have a filtering process (otherwise any malware author could get something in there, removing its security advantage). The only one I see is the presence of money, but an app store is still called an app store even if it offers free stuff.
There were probably crackers who knew about it and were keeping quiet to maximize long term exploitation potential. Also, you may recall that Slashdot did report on an 8-year-old Linux bug too.
Copyright itself must be opt in, not opt out. Preventing people from copying works when no one benefits from it is what's evil and what this settlement, despite its drawbacks, was going to go toward solving.

They're still more reliable than anything most other people can accomplish.
Those are extremes. Multi-lining can still be useful. For example, a nice simple physics calculation:

15 minutes -> 30 hours. Don't think Murphy's law will be kind and allow you the gentler interpretation.

This is the internet, may I ask what it is that you were expecting?
The Spanish Inquisition.

Nah, the real ultimate enterprise database is Google Spreadsheets.

I agree that Python has some strange things about it, but look at some sample f# syntax from Wikipedia:
let rec factorial n =
match n with
| 0I -> 1I
| _ -> n * factorial (n - 1I)
What do those funny characters mean? What's the I after the numbers? Compare to the python one liner:
def factorial(n): return 1 if n == 0 else n * factorial (n-1)
That makes sense even to someone with absolutely zero experience in the language.

That's an excessively lame excuse. Ubuntu is continously losing functionality and replacing it with proprietary solutions just for disk space sake.
Of course. They have to keep adding new features and improving the operating system while still keeping it inside a single 700MB CD.

Flash has a lot of security vulnerabilities, and many other problems. Even open source can't fix it.
The Debian repositories are an app store, and I don't see FOSS people avoiding those.
