The slashdot one covers things that you upload to slashdot specifically in order for them to propagate it to all and sundry.
The google one covers everything on every site you use for any purpose. Including your online bank.
The two are utterly unrelated. When you sign up at a gym for a martial arts course, you indemnify them against you getting punched in the nose. That's because getting punched in the nose is an expected component of martial arts courses. "We reserve the right to punch you in the nose", however, is not a desirable clause when signing up at your local library for a library card, say.
Jeebus. Never volunteer to be a moderator for anything. If you don't suspect an approach from someone who apparently has no knowledge at all about what he's referring to asbeing from a robot, then you'll be getting robospam from here until eternity. The idiots didn't make any mention at all by name of what they were interested in. That implies to me that they were simply robots. "Legitimate" my arse.
'justice' = 'revenge', let's not pretend otherwise. From Hans' harsher punishment the family gain nothing apart from the satisfaction that he has been punished more.
Take an old vinyl record. Punch a new hole just off-centre. Play the record. Sometimes it's too high pitched (fast) and sometimes it's too low pitched (slow). Yet the song still takes the same length of time to play.
The same way that we know the behaviour of animals from paleotological records, and the same way we know how to decode 'dead' languages. You find enough independent and corroborating evidence such that one is more inclined to believe those than the counter-evidence.
A school record with a photo of her class, and newspaper clipping through the years documenting her prior successes over the years and quoting her age should be enough to convince me, for example. One recently issued passport is not enough - quite the opposite.
Sorry, been away for a few days. One issue I have with session cookies is that I tend to measure my uptimes in years. I'm pretty sure I've had browsers open for months on end. That's a lot of tracking, if they wanted it to use it that way. I'm not saying they're doing evil, but they could certainly patch the hole in their FAQ so that people like me can't play "what *could* I do" games.

Why are the Chinese, who have a multi-billion-dollar semiconductor manufacturing industry and have had fusion weapons for 40 years, making the same mistakes as a country that had barely even seen a transistor, and was 5 years away from developing fusion weapons?
Your analogy is flawed - you address that which would have the greatest nett effect. That would be to tell the tell the fat guy to reduce his consuption.
2nd link - "Compared to non-sex offenders released from State prisons, released sex offenders were 4 times more likely to be rearrested for a sex crime."
Given that non-sex offenders cannot be *re*arrested for a sex crime, the ratio out to be infinite, not 4.
Please take this discussion up with the FSF and their lawyers, who quite happily propagate the labelling of the GPl as a software licence; it is of no further interest to me if you are so determined to be so clue-resistent. I mean, even the wording "just because a licence includes software" shows that your ability to master the meanings of words is severely limited, and that you are desperately out of your depth.
Yes, it's pretty old. However, the fight between them was going on for years, nearly half a decade. Even if it's over, I'm sure it's not forgotten by either party.
A software licence is not *by necessity* a contract. It *may* be worded as a contract (but that doesn't make it enforcable under contract law), but it certainly doesn't have to be. You're committing a false generalisation.
Let's try this syllogism instead: The GPL is a software licence. The GPL is not a contract. Therefore not all software licences are contracts.
Therefore your "a software licence [...] is actually a contract" is clearly false.
Indeed he wasn't talking about the GPL, and, concluding that he was not be familiar with it and that familiarity with it would be useful to him, I subsequently nudged him towards discussions about it so that he may better understand the differences between licences and contracts.
And then you followed up with pointers to a discussion about the GPL which explains the differences between licences and contracts. Bizarre...
However, EULAs should only give rights that you otherwise wouldn't normally have. EULAs should not remove rights that you already have. If you encounter something claiming to be an EULA that attempts to do that, you've probably got what would be considered a contract of adhesion, and would be unenforcable. In any sane country, that is. YMMV if you live practically anywhere on moder-day planet Earth, though.
Note - IANAL and haven't got a clue what I'm talking about!

Scratch that. I didn't notice the censorship.

... I'll force them to pay attention to me.
Which sounds like the behaviour of a spoilt kid.

I'm not assuming anything more than the original questioner when he conceived his question.

I.e. no.
Follow the link to MSDN. Check the images it serves you:

Yes, it's a transparent 1x1 pixel GIF.

What level of damages have the FSF ever demanded for a GPL infringement?
Hmmmm....

Just think of pipelining. If you buffer enough input, there's always enough work for the output stage(s) to work on.
Ugh, no - that's just another "ugly hack", even if it is in the man page.

Please compare like with like.

Thanks for joining the thread.
Now urea, at least contribute a pun.

NO. (Yes, I'm shouting, you're being thick)
THE GPL IS A SOFTWARE LICENCE.
Look at the FSF's own webpages to see them describe it as such.
Remember that DJB and Vixie ain't exactly the DNS's super-best-friends: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html#poison
