...to quote a member of the tech-savvy Slashdot audience as saying, "the LA Times editorial staff, to be kind, is mischievous and to be not so kind, is malicious".
That comment could be modded "Insightful" because it is insightful. Step beyond your stupid, inflammatory uninformed prejudices for a minute and you will recognize it yourself.
Before the Fascists held power anywhere, there was a tremendous amount of intellectual effort by artists and academics put into defining fascism and explaining why it was better than other philosophies of man and government. It borrows heavily from existentialism and could not exist if the people ever held on to transcendent standards outside of societal power structures. Hence, the hatred for "Jewishness" because the Jews were said to have invented a monotheism with laws which transcend human rulers and immanent human desires.
You're right that lately its definition has been twisted to mean corporatism. That's because the current crop of academics and artists hate transcendence just as much, love arbitrary power just as much, want to throw off individual moral constraints just as much, and allow race to define character just as much as the early fascists. They don't want to let out the dirty little secret that they want to tread the same path as early 20th century Europe, only somehow "do it right" this time.
Instead, they act as historical revisionists, saying that European fascism was about corporate ties to the government, that Hitler was a Christian, (Actually there was a deliberate government program in the third Reich to replace Christian doctrine with a state-imposed religion of immanence without transcendence) etc.
Watch carefully for the "fascist" slur coming as psychological projection from those who fit Heidegger's own definition of a fascist.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're not convincing. Just because it's built on Qt and other libraries which you may optionally compile in are GPL does not imply that HippoDraw is GPL.
Isn't it conceivable that the HippoDraw software in its original form is more free than GPL (e.g. PD or BSD), but the people who prepared the "Visual Studio Project Files" and pre-built versions of HippoDraw impose the GPL on their modifications to the distribution? That's what I'm trying to find out.
Doesn't it strike you as odd that a program which is GPL would bury all evidence of its GPL status inside a subdirectory for vs.net2003, but nowhere else, not even in the other vs.net directory?
Hippodraw is called "freeware," but I can't find anything more specific. The Mac installer package (which was not created by HippoDraw maintainers) has a GPL notice, but the raw HippoDraw sources have no license info other than a notice that it was written under support of the U. S. government. Are the HippoDraw C++ libraries GPL, LGPL, BSD-like, Public Domain, or what?
Their idea of a secure "prepare for resale" function would probably erase the whole OS and all other Microsoft products (like Office), so that they would need to be purchased again.
You are wrong about the implications. The server can be configured to only redirect user agent "googlebot" to the legitimate site, and all other users go to the counterfeit site.

It's a peer-amid scheme!

Hmm. I thought they spoke English in Canada.
You tell 'em! All these Slashdot morons just can't cope with your TRANSHUMAN MASTERY.
TRANSHUMANS like you are not limited by the constraints of logic or conventional literary constructions.
Lead on, Master of Transhuman, lead us to our great liberated future, where we are free of all inclinations to communicate effectively!

Information is what you have when you process data.
And none of that is wisdom:
What kind of bounty is $1mn?
$1 x (10^-3) x (10^-9) = $1 x 10^-12.
No thanks.
The only thing that bothers with with my opera 8 is that it segfaults about one or two times a day.
You may wish to try out the 8.01 preview if you can... It's in prerelease stage, but already considered more stable than 8.00.
Yeah, I hear 8.01 only segfaults five or six times a week!
Hey, I already paid for my driveway. Why should I have to pay more for a paper to be put on it every morning?
Technically, it's spelled "fascism."

Doesn't work in OS X either.
But hey, this is Slashdot.
Well, at least the city is paying and not the taxpayers. That wouldn't be right.

The time spent organizing my thoughts in that way, amortized over my life, is greater than the extra time I spend typing "| wc -l"
Welcome to AmeriDDDuh!
Do Bears bare? do Bees be? Not that there's anything wrong with that! Fuggedabowdit!
I hope I never think any of my passwords are so clever that I feel compelled to tell everyone about them.
ENOUGH.
Slashdot, for one, has automated our new overlord welcomers.
I hope you are more rigorous in your research for your book that you were for your sig.

Is it that van they drive around to find out who's watching the telly so they can hit them up for unlicensed viewing and back taxes?
