The GPL(3) is functioning just as it was designed, to limit commercial use of code. You can't complain that it is doing what it was designed to do.
Most people I know are very happy that GPL limits commercial use, making it possible to reconfigure TVs, Routers and MP3 players to do almost anything. That is something that we would never be able to do if it weren't for GPL products. You can always pay somone to rewrite Samba, Linux, Busybox or GCC.
Except, that the LoC is quite a long way from where we are, and it's a single location. I live a couple of blocks from our national library, but I'm part of a very small minority that have that privilege. It is great having all books ever published just some minutes away, I wish the other 99.9% of the world population could have that privilege.
Having worked with getting copyright permissions for texts I can tell you that it's really hard, e.g. I spent ~8 hours finding out that a guy I was dead. If all you have is a name/pseudonym/nickname/publisher, then it's lots of work. In this case the guys mother was very happy and released the work under CC-by-SA. So it was well spent time, but not economical.
No in that case people would be protesting, saying that Duke should not be gay. Please! You make no sense, you can't use a theoretical situation to make a point in a very specific situation.
Actually the whole point was that Penny-Arcade made things worse, first they make jokes about rape and then they choose to belittle the people who protested about it. I agree that the DNF thingy really sucks, that doesn't make rape more or less ok.
We know that the Mediterranean basin cracked open and flooded the desert a while back, in the area where all that shit happened.
No it didn't.
You may want to argue on the basis of facts, not a half-remembered mishmash of sensationalist stories. Of course, if you're a creationist, you can't do that and still hold on to your beliefs, so never mind.
Actually it did but it was a long time ago. Considering how little we remember about the people who lived on our land ~4000 years ago, I find it hard to think that the memory of the mediterranean deluge would have stuck in the collective memory for 5 million years.
Well that's one narrow minded professor, kitsch seems to be a perfectly good thing to look up on Wikipedia. That said professor Moriarty's definition of kitch is easier to read but very similar to the one on Wikipedia.
15 year old mobile phones could be recycled if you could modify the software.
So I think you need the whole spectrum of views, it's good that we have someone who is very vocal about software freedom, I think RMS be even more hardline just to counterbalance. I too have been annoyed by the unfree software in mobile phones, I have 10 year old Sony Ericsson phones that would be useful if I could modify the software.
Whatever IDE you use the code still needs to be written.
It would be nice to know why you feel so strongly against Eclipse and everything else that is not Visual Studio. Looking at the people who get computer science master degrees I would say a very large precentage of these people do not use Visual Studio, I'm just using that as an example because that is what I know.
I do with you agree that almost nothing feels bloated with a good machine bought in this day and age (except some badly written Java and.net apps).
I stance is that SMS is very good to let people know what is happening. E.g. "I'm going to be at bla bla at 13.00 meet me there I'll leave at 13:15", it's horrible when you get into the discussions like "well are you sure you mean 13:00 and not 01:00 am?" "oh you mean foo bar not bla bla, right?"
But considering I've met many people who send more than 50 texts per day, so they are clearly very good at comunicating with texts.
Your links makes me sad they are just short telegram notices, so I guess I shouldn't feel that bad for missing it even though I get the paper every morning.:-/ Paying so much just to beable to discuss and keep current while getting so little content feels bad, maybe I should spend that money on flattr.com instead.
All mail is already sorted automatically in Sweden, every postofficer gets a bundle with the mail he is to deliver that day. Sure there are lots of mail that can't be sorted automatically, but not really that much of an issue.
That seems too complicated for things comming from Apple tech, pairing iPhone etc is bound to be troublesome. It's a wonderful idea technically but I'm not sure it would work in real life, I hope they choose another path if they do this.
You forget two things: 1. getting the password database is usually easier than getting root. 2. even though it's a big problem that someone has root on your box it doesn't make it better that they also have the password of many of your users.
There are solutions, use a slower algorithm, or make your login mechanism secure.
md5 generates a hash that is 4 bytes long, that means it only has 2^32 outcomes, you can store those in 16GB of ram, then you just do fast look ups and solve all those consecutive hashes in less time than it takes to calculate and MD5 in the first place.:-) You want algorithms that are hard to make parallel and that gets you lots of outcomes..
It would fairly simple to have numerous rail hubs with goods being delivered the short distance to the shop/factory by small trucks.
Maybe we should look at automated loading/unloading solutions better, which is the biggest cost I believe. If you check the article you will see several attempts to to make loading easy.
Furthermore Railroads have a capacity limit, they are most certainly used to day (24/7). But currently railway hubs have the ancient problem of loading and unloading.
I've been banned from services, It probably was my fault, e.g. leaving myself logged somewhere, so I wasn't that upset. It would have been nice to know where and why I was banned though. Evidence and fairness isn't that important to game publishers, and when you ban a lots of people a small percentage of them will be innocent.
If you are used to one thing the other is always going to be worse.
You are going to have a hard time using the same fonts as Office uses since Open Office doesn't license the same fonts, you can choose to install them by yourself. OO will keep the font settings of a Office document but use its own fonts. Having done the switch my self, and having a big and expensive font collection I can tell you that OO handles fonts perfectly fine, even the standard OO fonts are fine.

Actually 2 years back a quadcopter were flying in the same hall using LIDAR. I think I found a price of ~$5000 for the units they used, but my memory might be an order of magnitude wrong.
You can get along way with 2D images, a lot further than you think, of course with this tech it's easier.

You are just saying that "this is not something that anyone wants to do, so it's exclusive!". So Google is doing a good thing?

Just in case you missed the alternative that actually lets people use the map for something try osm.org.

Kinda makes me wonder if I should read more newspapers here in Sweden.
when to go sit in a timeout (a little early to start with timeout, isn't it?.

Well you only have the passwords of the people that logged in during the intrusion.
You forget two things:
1. getting the password database is usually easier than getting root.
2. even though it's a big problem that someone has root on your box it doesn't make it better that they also have the password of many of your users.

But it's all for the greater good..
That's why they should publish the slides as pdfs.
