A guy in britain did a pretty good job. Plan about 20 mini protests and a day to show how ridiculous it is. if you really want to get radical have a 100 or a thousand groups all file separately. Flood them with paperwork to the point the police don't want to bother with it anymore.
Is it abrasive and cocky or just straightforward and experienced? I did do the Google search and found nothing that can be labeled as asshole. Some of it may not be the most tactful expression, but it is reasoned out and technically oriented which is what hacker-types tend to like. I don't think that saying that something is stupid is being an asshole. Your only an asshole if you can't give a good account as to why it's stupid. If you get offended simply because someone calls your idea stupid then you may be a little too wrapped up in the idea.
IF you do have to break compatibility do it loudly and warn people ahead of time. You don't want people loading up the next point release to all of a sudden find that their config files won't work correctly (I'm looking at you grub2)
Making social change by actually building alternatives that are more useful and meet the needs on consumers better than existing alternatives. Yes, that's just so evil. Not really, if fact its really the only moral way to create a social change. But actually I think you overestimate the scope of the conspiracy. OSS is a scheme to allow all software developers to own the means of production, and be able to compete and operate without worrying all the anti-competitive and anti-value crap that copyright protection brings with it.
Actually amoral might just be what's needed in a politician. Just do what achieves the most with the least amount of effort. Linus is agreeable and works well with others, which when you want to get things done is a more important trait than whatever your take on morality is.
I don't know there are plenty of successful projects with a BSD or MIT licence. Nobody could keep up with Linux today in a proprietary sandbox. It's the fastest changing codebase in the world. The type of money required to one entity to out-develop linux would be astronomical. The X windows system is still alive even though historically people have tried to make proprietary spinoffs. Also BSD is far from dead, it just has a lot more of a conservative design philosophy which means it is deployed where long term stability is more important than cutting edge features.
Depends on what you mean by capitalist. If by capitalism you means the system that we have now with all of it's distortions and monopolizations then your second claim is correct. If by capitalism you simply mean a free market then the claim is incorrect (Kevin Carson, The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand)
As for you first claim it's not propaganda it's simply the truth. If you can only grow wheat at 20-30 bushels/ acre yeild and half of it rots or is eaten by insects and rodent in storage, then you have to be pretty damn careful with the wheat you do have. If you can grow it at 60-100 bushels per acre, and only lose one or two percent in storage, then throwing away moldy bread every now and then isn't a big deal.
Within the U.S. it is, or at least it's the accent which is least often misunderstood by a random sample within the U.S. The English empire was so last century, love it or hate it (most sane people hate it) the U.S is the empire now. Anyways RP is the queen's English, and I don't have a queen. Why should I want to speak the queen's English in such a case? Anyways even that accent wouldn't be a problem so long as you avoided a lot of the slang. It's even quite a bit more understandable than a thick southern drawl.
How? I mean you could get info from one relay, but it would be useless without data from another 27 relays and careful timing analysis. It's possible, but so difficult most investigators wouldn't bother except for very large crimes. Plus most exit nodes don't keep extensive logs as most of the data is coming from another tor node and the data is hard to get anything useful from without a large degree of coordinated effort.
Another tricky things plants do.... Most people believe plants grow towards light sources, the truth is that they grow away from the dark. The hormone responsible for cell elongation at the terminal bud of a stem breaks down when exposed to light. As I was told... never trust a plant.
One of my professors told me to never trust a plant, so I'm not blaming you at all. After all, what is Slashdot for if not learning random things from random strangers?
No, windows is not a micro kernel, it's just not entirely monolithic. The outward facing API's run in their own address space and interface with the kernel via some unpublished interface. Still most of the heavy lifting is done in a continuous memory in kernel space. There are certainly differences, but nothing that crazy.
It is the same kernel, just compiled with different options. Some of the things like disk schedulers (CFQ, Deadline, no-op) can be switched according to boot options, but other things like preemption (none, voluntary, and yes) can't be. In fact being able to reach into the code lets you be a lot more flexible with a smaller binary. Timer ticks are another thing that I believe needs to be compiled in. High numbers 300 or 1000 are better for real-time applications (music and video) whereas a smaller number of ticks increase throughput by decreasing interruptions for scheduler decisions.
Not necessarily. If you didn't recycle then you would have to take up more land with trees, displacing marginal crop lands. Other farmers would have to increase energy inputs (fuel and fertilizer) in order to maintain the same crop yields. This is why we have market mechanisms, so people can judge weather they are being efficient with the resources they have.
It is and it isn't. Increasing C02 for most plants will reduce the rate of photo-oxidation, and increase yield. That is they can produce more sugars using the same amount of nitrogen and phosphorous. Plants in the field rarely have micro nutrient deficiencies, so it's a non-factor. CO2 will directly limit photsythesis with sufficient daylight. Probably the other direct factor is water, but it is somewhat indirect. Stomata will close with insufficient water pressue in the plant tissue. Nutrients are less direct. Nitrogen is actually mobile in the plant and can migrate (with an energy cost) from parts of the plant with less direct illumination to parts with more direct illumination. Both extra N and extra C02 separately will boost yields but for different reasons, though together will boost more than they do independently. There are also a whole class of plants (legumes) that will fix nitrogen when necessary, so smart cultural practices like strip cropping (crop rotation in a feild, 8 rows beans, 8 rown corn, repeat across the section) and rotation have a place as well. But the helper function doesn't just hold with legumes and thier bacteria species. Plants attracts a whole ecosystem of microbes because the excrete compounds in their roots. Some of these have shown to have symbiotic affects changing the environmental immediately around the plant to improve plant absorption of certain nutrients. In short plants can trade raw sugar for nutrients by having mechanisms to manipulate microorganisms in the soil, wheras CO2, water and sunlight are hard limits, though plants have mechanisms to maximize utilization of the factors if one is in short supply.
Disable flash by default. First because it's a horrible program and the most annoying and bandwidth consuming ads always use flash. Second there are other privacy and security issues with it besides just the local user data.
It's not a demand of accent-free, its a demand to have a comprehendable accent. Most people pick up on speaking a local accent pretty quickly. For those that don't some formal training can be helpful. If I notice someone has a Chinese accent that's okay, what's not okay is if that's all I can figure out when they open their mouth to say something.
Professors are a lot of the time paid mainly for research and to work with graduate students, undergrads really are just and afterthought. A lot of his graduate students may very well be from india.
If you can't speak English clearly and articulately, then you are simply not qualified for a job whose primary duty is to communicate various sorts of information by means of the spoken English language. It doesn't matter if the particular accent is mexican, brazilian, italian, french, russion, one of those clicking languages, chinese, due to some genetic or birth defect, or the result of an injury. It is not a civil rights violation to discriminate against such people, it is simply common sense. You wouldn't hire a lifeguard who couldn't swim would you?
The is very little that is more frustrating as a student as being unable to understand your teachers. Speaking in clear English is very important in order to teach well, especially if you have students who may have an differing accent at home. Someones whose native language is Chinese has enough trouble with unaccented (a.k.a. Midwestern) English speaker, much less someone with a thick Russian accent. Nobody was fired on this basis, but rather received additional training in order to improve their classroom effectiveness.
Right CLI is often short on visual data. Mainly because its often run on systems that can't handle much more than a simple framebuffer. Seeing a file manager that would accept shell commands would be cool as well. At best now you have to filter on the terminal and then pipe the file names into a file manager. I think emelFM is the only one that actually combines a command line into a file manager.

And the land has no other possible uses? If yes, is it due to legal rather than natural restrictions?
