Originally the whole free software movement was so that programmers whouldn't have to re-invent the wheel over and over again. Since those old days (yes, I remember those days so GET OFF MY LAWN!) the free software movement was bastardized into an ultimately free as in beer movement with RMS as the great prophet. It was a good thing at first, a "use it if you want, there's no warranty, and if you change it, send those changes back" into a "use it if you want, there's no warranty, if you change it send it back, and send us the source code to everything it touches". The GPLv3 is the movements cup of hemlock. It's designed to infect everything it touches even in the smallest way like a superstrain of ebola.
Kinda kicks the crap out of his 'free as in speech, not free as in beer' bullshit he tosses around. We all know that smelly fucking hippy just wants a free ride.
-------------- And while I may not agree completely with the language of GPLv3, it still seems perfectly consistant with the moral view that RMS has been expressing since the 80s. Every new thing in GPLv3 is there to try to close a loophole that allowed someone to not grant the rights RMS believes users should have. I have no idea how Linus can call them hypocrits. I was with him more when he was simply saying that it was misguided. ---------------
He calls them hypocrites because the license has become actually less free rather than more free. It's full of restrictions, and restrictions are not free. Go ahead and try to deny that, you'll just make GWB jealous.
There are a lot of posts asking why aliens would come to earth, if they are so advanced then why did they crash, etc...
Hey, I doubt it's Star Trek out there in the universe, it's probably a lot more like Spaceballs. Hell, look at the humans around you. It's been like this for thousands of years, the only thing that's changed is we have electricity and house plumbing. Not much else has changed as far as the basic human intelligence goes. The aliens might have been joyriding. They might have been checking an inexperienced pilot out on the craft. The craft might have been built by the lowest bidder. Etc...
You are overestimating alien intelligence. It could be possible that the universe is a full of fucktards as the earth is. Experienced pilots still crash.
No, you dumbass. When she applies to become a citizen, then becomes a citizen, then she's a citizen. A fucking green card doesn't make someone a citizen.

Well, I think it got melted into the hot grits, or maybe it was hidden behind a goatse link.
I've been looking for it, but don't think it's there anymore. But, then again, ya get kinda brain addled after 9 or 10 years.
That's a term to start using tho. "Ma'am, I recharged the quatloos in your computer."
They couldn't have been more intentionally obtuse with their answer.
No, it isn't entrapment. It's more like when someone spills water on the floor, then fakes a slip/fall accident in order to sue for damages.
WTF? Are you some sort of n00b? If you can't understand something as simple as this then you need to RTFM! Go away lo.....

Your right. Personally, I think computing when down the shitter when we stopped using punch cards and paper tape.
We'll see how you like it when your speech is curtailed in violation of the Constitution of the United States.
Unlike France, we surrendered to our politicians greed for power. There's a special place in hell for the generations of Americans alive today.

Not only did he not drink the cool aid, I'm sure he takes a shower every once in awhile.

Besides, what else are you going to do after sex? Peel an orange?

Your suppose to cuddle and talk about your feelings.
(I'm a guy, did I get that right? Was it convincing?)
Your going to lose your minds, nya nya nya nya nya.
It's only illegal if you or I do it. Evidently it's ok if a rich corporation does it.

You actually believe that prices would go down? I wanna know what planet you live on.

Yeah, that's right. No IT for you! But, there's always some asshole that's willing to dance with the devil.
Absolutely, anybody in a riot area is a miscreant, and should be dealt with harshly. Preferably shot in the head, eh?
Everything significant has already been given away by the USPTO as it is. This is a day late, and a dollar short.
No, don't even joke about it.
Well.... FUCK!
