You need to understand that neither Valve or Gabe Newell care about your petty OS war. Also, Steam being released for Linux won't change the fact that the cast amount of games won't work or will ever be ported. Also, PC gamers are a pretty tiny minority of all PC users so you well overestimate the impact this would have.
Uh, no. There is more to a game than just the graphics rendering API. There's also sound, input, networking, etc. that could be using platform specific APIs or libraries. And using OpenGL doesn't mean the game doesn't use Win32 as well.
No, a ToS is in common use an agreement between a company and a consumer when providing you a service. This was about an internal company policy for its employees. It's not the same.
Once again a terrible title and summary. This had nothing to do with a TOS. It was about trying to prosecute someone criminally for violating their workplace's authorized access policy.
Because you've never needed anyone to help explain things you don't necessarily understand the first time, have nver used someone as a feedback loop to make sure you aren't learning things wrong, or had any sort of mentor? Not everyone can perfectly learn things in isolation on their own from a text/audi alone.
U.S. government - and therefore U.S. people and consumers who voted and allow the government to continue - have been bullying other countries with their insane views on patents and copyrights for almost a century.
Hahaha for almost a century? Hyperbole much? You do realize that the Berne Convention and the predecessor organization of WIPO were both created by European countries and the US wasn't involved at all, right? The US didn't even become a signatory of the Berne Convention until 1988. So, no, you are quite wrong. It wasn't even until the late 60s that the US even got involved in international trade bodies such as WIPO. But don't let facts get in the way of your rant.
Even if it was a more well-spoken person, they are basically selling bog standard, plastic bluetooth headsets. This is stuff that was 'cool' 2 decades ago when every douche trying to look like a techy wore one, but in this age they are yawn-worthy.
No, it's not special, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything anyway, but it was still a waste of taxpayer money by the supposed party of 'fiscal conservatives'.

Why wouldn't he be able to do so when he's the copyright holder?
As the author and copyright holder of this source code, I personally have no problem with anyone studying it, modifying it, attempting to run it, etc.
And, no, I doubt he'll sue himself.
The N9 barely sold more than the Lumias have. So, no, it wasn't a homerun.
You're welcome. And it's not anything new.
So that means they'll be done in 12+ years like GEGL?
He's talking about Reed Hastings...

The thing is, he guy didn't own a gun. He was arrested purely by the drawing.
Being open source does not mean it isn't copyrighted...
Or the users will just move to the browser that doesn't break things since they won't want breakage.
I get ~42fps on my 3rd gen iPad for canvas. Either you have an old computer or Firefox's implementation is crap.
Because C++ isn't from last century?
So you are against patents but want patent lengths to be more than doubled? Huh?

What's funny about that? Facebook supports Android as well.

Then provide transcripts...
You could also suggest transcripts because even if the content is interesting we may not want to spend 2-3x longer hearing it rather than reading it.
What is all that cool about the cheap plastic headsets by Plantronics? They look like pretty bog standard bluetooth headsets. Whoop-dee-doo...
Apparently they are just cheap whores.
It was a custom-built computer by the author's brother using an IMP16 chip.
