It's not "mere aggregation" when the component is a fundamental piece of the whole.
And you have case law and the relevant statutory law to back this up right? The only way that all of Android would have to be GPLed is if all the rest of Android is considered a derivative work. And despite the fact that the FSF would like everyone to believe in their extremely broad definition of what makes something derivative there is no clear standard.
Just so everyone knows the parent is has a tiny dick and is butthurt that a 5 year old beat him at a console FPS despite the fact that the parent views himself as some "1337" PC FPSer. So now he flails around on the internet trying to bash console FPS players out of his rage. Oh and that 5 year old had a larger penis too.
You can't actually expect the Slashdot editors to actually know enough to filter out these crap stories, right? What's more important is that it has a catchy headline and thus will drive page and ad clicks!
The harsh reality is NOW Windows users pay less for these games.
Duh, because there is a glut of games for Windows. When there is a glut of supply people aren't willing to pay as much. This is the most logical explanation for why Linux and Mac people paid more because there is higher demand due to a lower supply of games.
What the fuck is "enterprise code"? I've heard this phrase used in so much marketing, but what the hell is it supposed to mean?
Horribly bloated code written by mouth breathers who can't grasp any other language than one which doesn't hold their hand the entire way through. Oh and you usually have to throw in a couple of frameworks and then add additional frameworks on top of other frameworks to manage your other frameworks in the process of designing "enterprise" software.
As compared to the millions in sales of other games at 50 dollars or more that Windows users buy that you conveniently ignore? How does that figure into your "Linux people pay more" when I doubt nothing but a tiny minority even paid 50 dollars FOR THE WHOLE PACK.
Apparently not a lot since despite many people saying how they'd only buy more games if they had no DRM that is mostly bullshit. Hence why, for example, 2D Boy had to file for bankruptcy. Apparently despite doing all you can to please these pirates with making your game cheap, making it DRM-free, etc they will still download it for free and screw you over.
Yes, and Google's App Platform for Government wasn't FISMA certified and thus wasn't qualified to be bought. Then Google sues and lies about having that certification. I'm seeing no reason why Google's lawsuit should be entertained at all. Especially since if this were Microsoft doing exactly what Google is doing the S
There's a big difference between offshoring to evade taxes and not bowing down to every cash grab from politicians who don't want to have to curb their own spending habits so they basically drive companies out of their state by slapping tons of taxes on them. If you thinking paying more and more in taxes is such a great thing, why don't you voluntarily increase the amount you pay in taxes?
While it is disheartening that Amazon shafted WikiLeaks
Shafted? Wikileaks broke their rules and thus according to the agreement they had with Amazon they lose access to Amazon's service. Maybe they shouldn't have agreed to terms that they couldn't follow?
Being "reputable" means not always placing your profit interests first and foremost.
Yeah, clearly it means bending over whenever some state government thinks that a private company is their own slush fund to close their budget shortfalls with.
Yeah, how dare they don't just bow down to all these lame cash grabs by various state governments! They should know it's their duty to make up for all the shortfalls of politicians who can't learn to cut their own spending habits! Maybe we should send their execs to gitmo to make them learn how a truly patriotic company should work!

Why has BlueRay failed to catch on ? DRM.
Sure, for nerds maybe. Almost none of the average consumers know or care.

But he heard there were rumors on the Internets!!

So the best you can do to counter him smashing all your arguments to bits is something as lame as that?
but what will you do if you're on a different Unix altogether ?
You do realize that Perl and Python exist on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris etc as well, right? If you are on a different Unix... you just use them as well.
Which are all things you can also do in perl and python...

He's calling bullshit the fact that Windows has no infrastructure for an ARM release. They already showed off Office for ARM months ago.
As compared to the millions in sales of other games at 50 dollars or more that Windows users buy that you conveniently ignore? How does that figure into your "Linux people pay more" when I doubt nothing but a tiny minority even paid 50 dollars FOR THE WHOLE PACK.
Yeah a suit based on lying and deception clearly seems legit. Oh wait, it's because it's Google and anything they do can be spun to be okay.
Sorry, that was Brighter Minds that went bankrupt not 2D Boy.
Who the hell would buy a game without DRM?

Because when you change your password on other services the attacker won't continue to be able to access your account?
I thought that was them peeing in my coke?
By storing it both as plaintext and a hashed version? Wow, that was hard...

In b4 some Wikileaks troll mods me down again.

Yeah, I'm sure they are so hurting over 1 random person who accounted for probably less than 1 millionth of a percent of their total revenue.
