i only called you a dumbass because you called me ignorant.
Well, then, I find it quite telling that you consider the term "ignorant" to be an insult. It also explains why you seem to choose to remain that way.
FYI, informing a person they don't know something about something isn't insulting, it's an opportunity for that person to learn, and thus, be ignorant no more. Shame you don't see it that way.
Chelsea Manning, Leonard Peltier, The Cuban 5, likely at least a handful of Gitmo inmates, and of course all those Occupiers who didn't actually commit crimes.
Oh, and every pothead in jail, ever (although in fairness, they're incarcerated for doing something harmless the government doesn't like, as opposed to saying stuff).
Aaron Swartz would be there too, if not for... extenuating circumstances.
Surely you don't believe that there's no such thing as a political prisoner in the for-profit prison industry, do you? If so, that tells me that you don't know enough about the topic to be commenting from a position of knowledge, but rather one of ignorance.
Meh, these days they're all kind of the same, at least in regard to repairability. I'm certain there's a way to hack it, but my laptop doesn't have a good battery and I haven't yet installed an inverter.
If there are 280,000 people on the watch list that are there despite having no recognized ties to any terrorist groups.. why are they on the list at all?
It's an election year, and nobody wants to appear soft on the wrongfully accused.
I read the original article (thanks to the WayBack Machine), and unless the "copyrighted manual" tells you how to program an EEPROM with an SKU, then I don't see how it's a violation of DMCA.
Boy, wouldn't that be a kick in the face? For corporations to be able to limit access to knowledge by writing it in a book and copyrighting said tome? Sounds like the premise for a dystopian novel.
Actually, you, as an individual could enable all fo those things. Same for the oscilloscope. You cannot, however, post online how to do it--at least not according to Tektronics.
So, what Tektronics is saying is that the dissemination of knowledge is a crime?
Do I even have to point out how slippery that slope is?
The G37 Sport package includes paddle shifters on the steering column. If you wanted them on a non-sport version though, there was an ebay seller who sold the paddles. All of the wiring and functionality was already there, just bolt on the paddles plug them in and you were done.
Don't be so sure - if I want to add steering wheel audio controls to my truck, I have to take it to the dealership* to get it programmed (in addition to adding the proper parts), despite the fact that "all the wiring and functionality [is] already there".
* Or spend a few grand on a Tech II and GM software subscription.
i wasn't talking about learning, dumbass. i meant the rigors of "bullying".
and you wanted to give an example?
The way your previous post was worded, it's perfectly reasonable for someone who actually understands English to presume you were implying the educational aspect, o Childish One. That you felt compelled to immediately attack with a playground epithet makes me wonder if you ever actually finished school yourself, from both a literally standpoint, as well as a metaphor for your intelligence level. The fact that you don't capitalize anything kind of leads me to think the former is a certainty.
As a self professed nerd/geek, the "Nerd Blackface" doesn't offend me, and I certainly don't feel "persecuted" by it. But I can't stand it in a TV show, and so I pretty much stopped watching after half an episode. That, and after many modern examples of sitcoms and half hour comedy shows without laugh tracks, I absolutely cannot stand shows with laugh tracks anymore.
Yes, and if you remember, the other lead actor was paid less well because he was rather less white, and he was rather pissed off about it, understandably.
Which is why I find it interesting that Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar's names were conspicuously absent from the list of million-dollar-an-episode actors. You know, appearances and all.
Apparently we are not allowed to write negative reviews, so I will write a positive one.
I very much enjoyed my stay at the Union Street Guest House, which met or exceeded every expectation! Everything felt authentic and vintage, like the bathroom, which did not have working toilets. ("Just like olden times," noted the concierge.) Similarly, the beds were very uncomfortable, just like in the days of yore, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had taken the trouble to obtain several hundred bedbugs to place in the bed, for the sake of authenticity.
The food in the dining room was similarly amazing -- totally inedible! One bite of the cold porridge and my wife said, "Wow, this stuff is unbelievable!" So true.
I can't recommend this place enough. It is by far my favorite plague-infested parasite haven in Hudson, NY.
Please don't fine me $500; I spent all my money getting rid of the bedbugs I brought back with me.
Contracts that you voluntarily enter into to keep your yapper shit meet Supreme Court approval..
Perhaps. However, signing a contract on someone else's behalf is questionable at best, and that seems to be the case here - the hotel is putting the contract signers on the hook for the actions of people who did not sign said contract.
Sounds like an excuse for laziness to me. If you've got time to revise the code, you've got time to revise the documentation.
For personal projects, sure. When you're working on someone else's dime, that's their call.
Sure.
But, like I said in my last post (which you apparently did not read thoroughly), "we're not talking about hard-deadline work for your boss, we're talking about FOSS."
A lot of people are making the exact opposite claim as you for their excuse: Devs aren't getting paid for their FOSS work, so they don't see the "value" in doing the job right, ie writing documentation.

Yea, the feds were going to crucify him for a petty B&E, not for disseminating information they didn't want disseminated.
Because that makes sense.

Interesting, as I knew you were going to cherry pick that particular one of the many valid examples I gave.
However, you're welcome to your opinion, as I am welcome to the opinion that you should take your playground bullying and go fuck yourself.

That's a quite useless comment. So I guess we're even.
Doesn't matter what country you pick you're going to be spied on,
This is likely true, although there is likely merit to being spied on by a foreign government.
Namely, as a US citizen, I don't have to worry about the Chinese government taking my freedom away because I did/said something they don't like.

Having a terrorist tie only means that your second cousin is friends with a person who has a roommate suspected of being a Hama[s] sympathiser.
I'm probably on there for using the #StopArmingIsrael hashtag more than never.
Whoops, there I go again.

(cue laugh track)
If the minimal rigors of (gasp) public education are enough to convince one to put an end to it, then they are probably better off leaving this world.
Dude - people don't kill themselves because "learning is hard," they do it because of the way other people have treated them. Or a chemical imbalance.
Sometimes it amazes me how ignorant the educated can be.

Huh, I didn't think anybody actually read those...

How about, "Forgiven SYNs?"
