And you really probably thought you got a gotcha! moment with this but you clearly don't understand that if the day comes where copyright no longer exists there would be no need for the GPL and as such it wouldn't matter that the GPL depends on copyright or not.
How many times do we have to keep saying this! The World Wide Web is NOT the Internet! Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is port 80 of TCP/IP (Transport Control Protocol over Internet Protocol) which carriers HTML and other content, it doesn't make it "The Internet".
Thanks for stating the obvious, Sherlock. I'm glad you rebutted something that wasn't contained in my post. You definitely win that argument since it wasn't one that I ever put forth.
You're the typical fucking moron who just registers a slashdot account and immediately starts spewing bullshit!
No, I was just rebutting the claims that only Americans had anything to do with the creation of the Internet. Yes, the World Wide Web is not the Internet itself but it is an important part of it that has shaped the very foundation of the way the Internet is and is used today.
No shit? I thought the Web operated through magic. It's not as if I didn't acknowledge that the basic underpinnings required previous protocols invented. Oh wait I did...
Well you would think wrong. There is no qualification that a stereotype has to be false to be a stereotype. A stereotype is nothing more than an oversimplified, generalization of a group of people. That blacks love fried chicken is still a stereotype even if there are many cases one can point out of a black people who love fried chicken.
Piracy is the art of taking something that was worth something and making it worth nothing.
But if no one wanted your product to begin with it was already worthless. Just because these content "producers" think they are entitled to vast sums of money over any little thing they shit out doesn't mean that what they made was anything of value.
Wow. Strawman much? Oh I'm sorry, I guess I should have just said: "AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!" So I could karma whore. I find it absolutely amazing that fellow Americans can't even take the tiniest criticism without flying off the handle or by trying to claim that it's okay if we do something that is immoral because does something even worse.
I understand that many Americans want to keep their hands on the project their country invented and advanced
Last time I checked the World Wide Web was invented at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee who is British. Sure many protocols that the Web uses date back to DARPAnet but the Internet as we know it is the way it is due to Berners-Lee.
Yes because there are absolutely no legitimate complaints anyone can make about the United States. Any critic is clearly just a freedom-hating, terrorist-lover. *rolls eyes*
But I think it would be a little hasty to totally ignore the sheer amount of cash Microsoft can dump into advertising.
If that was even remotely effective they wouldn't still be behind Yahoo in rankings.
You tech guys out there should expect your circle of computer dummies to start asking "So what's this bing thing anyway?". I don't think they'll overthrow google anytime soon but I'm fairly sure they have a chance of taking a slice of their users.
I'm pretty sure Google can afford to lose the 3 people that might actually hear about this and actually think it's good.
You seem to have built up this notion that you deserve to get free access to any content that you wish, simply because you wish to.
No, I haven't said anything of the sort. I don't believe anyone deserves to get free access to content if the owner doesn't want to.
Yes, content producers certainly have the right to try and profit from their creation.
Sure they have to the right to try to profit from their works but too many of them feel that they are entitled to success and then blame piracy, etc for when they make little or no money rather than maybe looking to see if what they produced was even worth something.
Yeah same here I love comics and anime too but I just find it absolutely funny when nerds flail around trying to claim that these stereotypes aren't true when almost anyone who goes to comic book/anime stores or conventions one can see literally thousands upon thousands of people who match them perfectly.
Yes, I too think it's important that we uphold a stupid notion that we have to send people to prison to protect pencil scratchings on a piece of paper.
I'm sorry that you're too idiotic to know what you're talking about as anyone with even a shred of knowledge about the program knows it's written in C++. There is nothing about C++ that means that you can't run slow, memory hogging programs. In fact, such things features that enable this are usually touted as it's greatest strengths.
Define the time context we are talking about. If you are talking about both past and present players one would ask, and in most such polls that cover topics like this it is asked this way, "Who is the most famous baseball player of all time?" or "Who is the most famous baseball player ever?". But hey, you can win this stupid little nitpick game when as anyone who wasn't trying to be overly pedantic knows that the article was clearly only talking about current CEOs.
You seem to have built up this notion that you deserve to get any money or something just because you "produced" something. If what you made was worth something people would be willing to give you money through donations or buying goods from you. If you are only able to make money purely by adword page hits then you probably suck at what you're doing.
Slashdot Mirror
Grease up and slide through the air vents?
Even though the GPL depends on it...

but if I overhear someone say they liked Friends (or even worse, LOVED it) then I have a pretty good idea of the kind of person I'm dealing with.
One that doesn't have a stick shoved up their ass?
That should be "of a black person who loves fried chicken".
I don't think it's a stereotype if it's true.

Remember when DNS registr* wasn't an extortion racket?
No. When did this magic day exist?

If "Bing" fails, the next name will be "Squirt".
But won't that confuse the 2 owners of a Zune who have been squirting songs to each other?
Well to be fair it's not really that much worse than squirting someone a song from your Zune.
Oh, sorry, forgot it's slashdot... you probably haven't actually tried anything but the crowd-recommended solution.
Yeah, it's totally lame and not nonconformist to use a search engine that doesn't suck.
The price predictor thing sound kinda cool (though pretty easy to clone).
Yes, as in they have cloned the functionality of sites like Priceline.com.
But I think it would be a little hasty to totally ignore the sheer amount of cash Microsoft can dump into advertising.
If that was even remotely effective they wouldn't still be behind Yahoo in rankings.

I'm pretty sure Google can afford to lose the 3 people that might actually hear about this and actually think it's good.
Yeah, I'd agree that those names are mostly worthless. Doesn't mean that Bing still wasn't a dumb choice of a name for the "new" Live Search.
So what's the new branding going to be after this one fails? Bong?

Who's the most famous baseball player?
