There is more, qtp. As you or someone else appointed, there are the Hawkins' of the world. People with genetical "disabilities" and other (possibly genetical, too) abilities that greatly benefit the society and humanity as a whole.
What escapes fmaxwell is that:
1. filtering society is like filtering music for noise: yes, you can lower the noise at the cost of dynamic range... and beauty.
2. it's not intelligence the trait that permit humans to thrive... it's intelligence + society (as in social, strong helps weak and weak can breed).
oh, I'm done with this thread. good night.

Please don't feed the troll. He thinks all blind people are in welfare or something. I know ten or more system engineers that make real big bucks and... yes, they are blind! They get the car they paid with their salary, with the driver they pay with their salary, go to work, work 8-12 hrs a day (to worth what they are paid), go back home to their wife and kids, play with them, listen to the TV along with them, sometimes read a good book if there is a Braille version or listen to it if it's an audio book. Oh, guess what... he lives a life exactly like mine. As to the Braille part, oh, yes, I can't read a book if there is only a version in Greek, too... so, they not depend on the "society" more than me! pff...

I am not a "troll." I am expressing my beliefs, which, apparently, others share. I therefore claim Godwin's Law take over this thread. Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it... repeat it... repeat it... repeat it...
No, it is sun's problem. As another poster said, sun expected to give the razor (gratis forte, jvm) and sell the blades (commercial forte). But with Eclipse, ibm is giving the blades, too...
my Nokia 3560 makes an excellent flashlight, too. and I use it regularly 'cause the light-timing of my apartment's parking space is really short, and I am left in the dark every single time I have to bring up groceries.
yes, it is. it's what in Brazilian law is called Associacao ("association"), much like a tennis club (no obligation to be non-profit). We have a 500-associates cap, but as of today only 350 real associates. we pay R$ 21/mo (U$7), but to associate you have to buy a quota (R$ 150 ~ U$ 50, I bought mine at a discount for R$ 100 ~ U$ 33). No, it does not have a website at the moment. We have 3 classes of film: Blockbusters, New, and Normal. Each quota entitles the right to get 1 Blockbuster for 2 days and 1 new for 2 days and Normals for upto 9 days (but you have to sign for them 3 times). (if you choose to go to all Normals, you can keep 5 of them). The late fee is R$ 2 (~less than U$1)/day/movie. The association holds free elections to 4 board members every 6 months, 3 terms max (in the last election there was just one option in the ballot... it's voluntary and does not entitle one to many privileges) We have 3 employees and 1 intern, and a donated area with about 50m2.
1. who said anything about e-mail? 2. who said anything about unencrypted? 3. yes and no. I work as a developer and as a system administration (yes, security) consultant.
my video-club beats all of this. I pay U$ 7/mo; I can have 5 dvds with me at all times, the only restrictions being: only one new disc at a time, for 2 (work)days or pay U$.50 per disc per day fine; the other (non-new) 4 discs, i can keep them up to 9 work days (yes, almost two weeks). How about that? It's simple, we have 300 associated people and we always have the good titles. And it's a democracy. nice, uh?
1. He does not want NVCorp to close his drivers 2. He wants it to be under a XFree compatible license, so Debian can distribute it (*) 3. Maybe his drivers are derived from GPL'd software (so license cannot be changed) (and this I am speculating, now)
(*) I am supposing, too, that his drivers include alterations in XFree's code, so just the "dynamic/static link" is no excuse. To merge it with XFree, he needs the licenses to be compatible.
Final result: one less great FS/OSS hardware driver to the community.
The problem, if there is one, is described in the following scenario:
I come up with some VERY GOOD nvidia accelerated drivers for XFree. NVidia corp. DID NOT HELP me writing the drivers in any way, so why should I give them the right to distribute a binary "nv.o driver build 8999" based on my work and with some improvements I could use too? So, I want to license my work under the GPL. if they decide to improve and distribute a derived driver, they must distribute the source.
If XFree goes for a GPL-incompatible license, this would not be possible, because e.g., Debian would be forbidden to distribute my driver at all.
That's what I said in my other comment about my personal policy on this (and yes, I sysadmined six years);
Scenario 1:
Co -- hi. this is your client, company X, and we'd like to disable account to employee Y. Me -- ok, one minute, ok. the account is disabled. Co -- oh, and I would like the content of the mailbox to be sent to employee Z. Me -- ok, one minute, ok. the mbox was empty [NOTE: don't even bother to look]. Co -- oh, and I would like to redirect all e-mail sent to it to employee Z, also. Me -- ok, one minute, ok. all done. [again, don't bother] After that, mail sent to X@Y goto/dev/null or, better yet, bounces, or better still, tarpits it to death (makes sender thinks problem is with his account), bounces as spam, or something.
Scenario 2:
Co -- please, reset password of sales@Y Me -- to whom do I send new password? Co -- employee Z Me -- ok, done.
No, no, no, to the law only matters whose communication it is. So, my mailbox in the company account is mine. It's my communication. Even if stated in a contract, the clause can be voided because of this.
NOT here in Brasil. E-mail is by law on par with telephonical communications, so tapping without judicial warrant is a crime. Total privacy is expected.
My personal policy in those cases is: the mailbox was empty at the time the account was blocked. All e-mail to it was bounced since.
Pitty [sic] god didnt write in the bible the one who takes money from interpretting law is the devil. You forget priests are just the first type of lawyers to appear. It would never get in the bible...
Actually, here in Brasil, the actual cost of an employee is something from 300% to 320% of his salary. Mandatory retirement funds and other employment taxes are more than 100% the employee's salary value. Office space plus phone bills, water, and electricity are in the same range.
Here in my town (Belo Horizonte, Brasil) it's pretty tough to get your license: 4-stages test (yes, FOUR: psycho-motor, theoretical, "defensive driving", and practical). More, the practical test is really hard: manual gear, you have to stop your car in an uphill street without using the breaks, parallel parking at most 20cm (8in) from the curb, in a normal-sized space, everything in the real traffic of a very car-filled neighborhood...

The original OSNews guy (Zab Ert) said that
1. He does not want NVCorp to close his drivers
2. He wants it to be under a XFree compatible license, so Debian can distribute it (*)
3. Maybe his drivers are derived from GPL'd software (so license cannot be changed) (and this I am speculating, now)

Did you get it now?
Man, if you don't make business with someone who lies to you, than you have no business at all.

Here in my town (Belo Horizonte, Brasil) it's pretty tough to get your license: 4-stages test (yes, FOUR: psycho-motor, theoretical, "defensive driving", and practical).

It's a weak prediction, because it will not happen in the next ten or hundred years.
1. monoculture is down;
2. the internet is too distributed.
