That's not what Tivoization is. Tivoization is when you put copyleft software on a piece of hardware, but then lock down the hardware so that the users can modify the software in practise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization
I am reading it now, and I would probably be having a much harder time if I hadn't read Pro Git first (available online gratis). I'm thinking specifically of the concept of branches and HEAD being pointers to commits. I do appreciate the thoroughness of this book, though.
Diaspora is a project that aims to be that open and distributed alternative. The four students and graduates that started it have already managed to raise $16k to work on it this summer.
the hostility comes from all the choices religous groups take away from us, forcing their faith on us all. stem cell research? can't have that. abortion? can't have that.
instead of just letting people live their lives, their faith forces them to interfer.
People can't live their lives if they're being aborted.
Sorry, I'm afraid that just doesn't cut it. Even if you refuse to argue with them because you're expecting them not to listen, name calling is not justified. Or absurd generalisations.
There is a free certificate authority: http://www.cacert.org/ . Unfortunately, it's not "official", but the root certificate is installed by default on a lot of free systems. (see ca-certificates package in Debian) I'm sure slashdot users are techy enough to understand it.
Ubuntu membership has not been introduced recently, it has been around from before I started Ubuntu (2006), at least. This is not news. The title needs changing.
Ubuntu members get @ubuntu.com addresses, their blogs syndicated on planet.ubuntu.com, a free subscription to LWN, and they vote for certain things.
I'd have to agree here. All the video editors under Linux that I've tried crash frequently. The reason I recommend pitivi is simple: it crashes the least.

What you are describing is legal even under GPLv3. You can distribute non-free programs along with free ones: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation
It's just you. Remember, those four freedoms apply to the user of the software.

I thought the issue wasn't whether climate change was happening, but whether it was artificial or natural.
sci-fi != scientific

You always had to register for the free version of Avast, and re-register every six months.

I like companies that think "do no evil" is good for business. We should have more of them.

I suppose you also delete all the white-space and use one letter variable names?
