Yes, if you're going to be The Decider, your decisions will be under a lot of scrutiny. If you've fallen prey to false claims in the medical field, you're likely to be manipulated by political quacks too.
Right now, our culture has a frightening lack of tolerance.
Really? We tolerate all sorts of things we shouldn't. We tolerate being lied to about the motives for war. We tolerate having our economy crashed by bankers, and then we tolerate having our taxes spent on bailing out those bankers. We tolerate the police filling our jails with harmless pot smokers. We tolerate millions of unreasonable searches every day. We tolerate complete disregard for our Constitution by officials at every level of government.
If you ask me, the American people could stand to be a lot less tolerant.
So, are these kids getting represented by an attorney? What's it take for them to get a jury trial? Do they in fact have ANY constitutional rights in this court?
Distributing, I mean. The GPL prohibits no one, under any circumstances, from using any software. Even if you refuse to accept the GPL, you may use GPL(any version) software.
A lot of very good free programs are now kept out of the hands of people because of GPL v3
Nonsense. The only reason not to use GPLv3 software is if you intend to deprive your users of their fundamental software freedoms. If that's your choice, we're not losing out on anything when we prohibit you from using GPLv3 software.
The really interesting question is what the community will do with the data. First there's the problem of getting the data assembled. They should have the entire genome, they sequence 300x what they should have needed. Now that's all going to be random and in pieces though, so they've had trouble with a couple assemblers. This is the kind of thing that's done often though for other species, and should be doable with freely available tools.
Then, once you have the assembled contigs, you have to figure out what they mean. That means searching for open reading frames and then testing those for homology against known genes. THC acid synthase is already known, so that helps. But I don't think all the genes in the pathway are sequenced yet, so hopefully this helps nail that down.
Then what? Either extraction of that biosynthetic pathway into another system, or transgenic manipulation of the plant for better yields.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act prohibits unauthorized access to computer systems. Surely planting a cookie that restores itself after the user has deleted it is unauthorized access.
Good games from two decades ago rarely exceeded 20 hours of game play and frequently had less than 5 hours of content.
Sure, if you only play console games. You could play Elite pretty much forever. Ultima IV could last 40-80 hours. In Pool of Radiance you could spend an hour on a single battle, and there were a lot more than 20 battles in that game! These are all games from the 80s btw.
And it's wrong in every case. Awesome never comes in short form. If you can't elaborate on your idea at length without losing its awesomeness, then it wasn't a very good idea to begin with.
If society doesn't make opportunities available, people will take the opportunities they see. Such as we see happening in the UK. Give these people something to lose.
They are cheap hooligan thugs who enjoy a bit of the old smashy smashy and in and out.
Ah, so if they were well dressed and important thugs, you wouldn't have any problems with it right? Where were all the cries for justice after bankers crashed the world economy in 2008? Why were the courts not packed then? You can give 4 years to a guy for an offhand posting on twitter, you can't find ANYTHING to pin on the guys at RBS? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
Sure, it's about consequences when a bunch of kids smash up some store fronts. But when men in suits crash the entire world economy, where are the consequences? Do you really think this is justice?
The country is morally corrupt. When lords are send to jail by the bus load but still only a fraction of the ones who made a complete mess of things can you expect the people on the bottom not to feel they can do some leeching of society as well?
Exactly! Someone gets it! Yes, this looting by the public is awful. But the public have been looted by those in power for decades!

If smoking pot all day isn't the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

The difference is that Microsoft's agenda serves only themselves, while the FSF's agenda serves humanity as a whole.
After all these years the GNAA login still works. L/P: nigger/nigger. Not nice, but easy to remember.
Because it's the only power they have to effect any kind of change.

What possible confusion of ideas would make you think that sequencing the Cannabis genome would enable you to control it's pharmacokinetics?
My brother was right: all they care about is increasing their share of the pie, not the total size
You could say the same about anyone in a capitalist economy. If you have a problem with that, you have a problem with capitalism.

The abilities of the interested are only increased by the addition of more extensive graphical tools
GUI tools are seldom more extensive than their CLI counterparts, and they're always less flexible.
people don't like to explore because they're lazy and stupid
FTFY.
Small fast SSDs complement, but don't replace large slow HDDs.
That wouldn't terribly useful unless you could also moderate articles.
