So, on top of everything else, Scalia thinks it's his job to ignore the American Revolution in deciding precedent. His "originalist" philosophy ignores Constitutional Amendments, too, so we shouldn't be surprised. Just disgusted at an unamerican Supreme Court Justice who almost became Chief, but still rules with an iron fist.
And I'm still saying that I'm talking about "open source", not "free software". Like I said, I'm not going to explain to you in this thread how "open source" is a viable business model. There are many examples demonstrating that. And your post is insisting that "open source" equals "free software". I can tell by your insistence that you're not going to learn anything from an explanation here, anyway. You're just trolling for an argument about open source. Try it somewhere else.
Well, there is the MicroBlaze/uCLinux project, which runs Linux on a MicroBlaze CPU in FPGA. There's discussion in their group of running signal processing apps, then moving the SW to DSPs on pins, and revising the SW to merely signal the pins. I'm watching them for development of a generic codec facility configurable to specific codecs on demand.
I reply to some moderations to give metamoderators info about the otherwise anonymous, unsupported suppression of my posts, to inform their metamoderation. When someone actually disagrees with me, instead of just downmodding me with an obviously specious mod like "Offtopic" when it's not, I disagree with them. Especially when they're not some fucking asshole Anonymous Coward with no concept whatsoever. Thanks for the chance to explain to people who can't see that for themselves.
BTW, Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING. You demented Anonymous fool Coward.
No, you just proved nothing but the worthless rhetoric posing as science used by Greenhouse deniers like you. Far from "suppressing" him, I encouraged more discussion of his points. And offered more research into his career, which shows the industry of which he's a part - missing from the original reporting. And I didn't make any argument about whether the deniers or the demonstrators are "shilling for easy money" - that's your strawman argument. You're another boring rightwing pollution fan, with the same dull projection defects and self-parodying fake arguments. Right down to your insistence that I argue against you and your position with the tactics you prefer, instead of the simple truth about your denial industry, your denial culture.
So, since your post is so intellectually dishonest, I'm going to point out only that when you drown in the ocean, it's only the last few pints of water that killed you. You'll have to do the research yourself.
Except that Lindzen isn't a well known Communist. He is a well known Greenhouse denier. And McCarthy would never recommend against suppressing a Communist, never recommend people read more about Communism unless his office published it directly. And Lindzen is funded by Greenhouse denial industrialists.
Anonymous Coward, you fail history AND political science. And your "Greenhouse accusations are McCarthyism" is so familiar that I'm starting to realize the theme is the latest denier campaign. Dick Cheney, is that you?
My attack is an excellent example of what used to be known as journalism. I research someone mentioned in the news, and link to more details helpful in understanding what they publish and represent.
McCarthyism is completely different: a government witch hunt to destroy the careers of people for reasons unrelated to their claimed political acts. Run by a lying, powermad Senator with subpoena and jail power.
Your Anonymous Coward attack on me is just a shabby example of attack politics. How about getting at least one thing right when you try it?
You can cite whatever you want. But you can't argue that a person's history of lying about a subject for money that's still flowing into their unchanged story can be ignored when determining whether to trust them. And when they work with other people in the same racket, you can tell what they're all selling, and for whom.
I linked to a site that describes these whining deniers with more detail than just their brand names. People can do their own research and decide for themselves. I never claimed to "prove" anything - so you're floating that classic rightwinger strawman fallacy, in which you're scared of your own shadow.
Hm, I'm pretty familiar with the lumber industry putting nails in trees - and clearcutting them. Driving dangerous animals into residential areas - and building residential areas in animal habitats. And torching homes and businesses in mismanaged "wild" fires. I'm not so clear on which point is "obvious", or what is this "extreme and irrational action" you mention.
Government agencies can perpetuate their own existence by publishing research on either side of an issue. I'd like to see some proof of a government agency publishing fake research promoting the Greenhouse warnings to perpetuate its own existence. Because we're all familiar with industry doing that to deny the Greenhouse. And we're now familiar with the government suppressing Greenhouse warnings to protect their industry bribers^Wsponsors.
BTW, "virulent" doesn't mean what you apparently think it means. But it's a good word to literally describe the Greenhouse we're building for ourselves.
Now if they can roll back the state of cells in the chemical end-state known as "dead", my creature will finally see the light of day and walk the earth!

You can test any proposition to determine whether it threatens the fascist military/oil industrial/political complex. Just post the truth about it on Slashdot, and TrollMods will swarm it when it's a threat. I'd love to trace back the IP#s of those TrollMods to the Pentagon or some of their contractors - or Congressional sponsors.
No, I mean that even good programmers in demand are in even more demand when their skills make use of widespread code environments. Which could be apps as well as OS'es - in fact, the context in which I commented implies apps, not OS'es. I don't understand your inference at all.
Yes, it's a metalstorm style supershotgun... like I said, science fiction. The speeds are still much too great, and the proportionally reduced distances means much less time to aim & fire, therefore much more demanding precision. It's another fake star wars defense project, just as fake as the big guns we've been paying for since the 1980s that have never worked, but always profited.
No, "open source" does not equal "free software". There's a lot already published dispelling that myth. And lots of it flies around whenever a "free" or "open" software story is published on Slashdot. Look into it before you decide you're stuck. There's lots and lots of people making their living producing software whose source code is public.
Richard Lindzen is a well known Greenhouse denier. Don't suppress him or the other deniers - just read more about their Greenhouse denial industry, and the Greenhouse producers they cover for. Will you be surprised when you learn how their network is funded by polluters and petrofuel corporations?
The privacy of PayPal operating an unregulated global bank, at the core of global retail ecommerce, is their highest priority. I hope the IRS is just the first Federal agency to get a grip on those Medicis, especially since they rip off people every chance they get.
That's not firmware. Firmware is the software stored in ROM, like a BIOS. FPGA is reconfigurable HW, which is open hardware. I'm not going to get into a philosophical argument about whether FPGA HW is "immutable", or whether other HW like even CISC CPUs are "immutable". I pointed out a specific example of HW that is certainly open. Running a CPU on a FPGA, like a MicroBlaze "soft" CPU on Xilinx FPGA (running uCLinux) is "open hardware" by any reasonable definition. If I could download a SPARC or PowerPC specification to an FPGA, that would be really great - and really open.
These are developer tools. Their sourcecode is open. Their consumers are developers.
Where's the adapter code that plugs each development platform's modules into the other's framework? This is the best case for open software discarding arbitrary vendor boundaries I've ever heard.

Know any open projects running that Xilinx PowerPC with attached DSPs, under Linux?

They'll fit even better when they find their familiar software platforms preceed them outside the game industry.
