    And the biggest abuser of GPL? Anyone? Yes, you are right, it is GOOGLE.

    Quite the opposite, we do want all the musician to be paid for their art, but somehow this is not the case, as not the inventors, but some funny bunch of bastards are actually sucking both the musicians and the public.

    Nope, because you agreed to FaCEBOOK'S TOS, which in a few words say that you gave up your soul, and you still own them.

  6. Re:Pirate attitude on Louis CK's Internet Experiment Pays Off · · Score: 1

    Man, unlike you i happen to read a lot, which gives me the knowledge of WHAT copyright actually is, why it was introduced, the pro's and con's. Go google wiki, and come back and tell me why white is white and black is black.

  8. Re:Pirate attitude on Louis CK's Internet Experiment Pays Off · · Score: 2

    Seconded. I happen to buy a lot of books too, and i am even reading them, but i am simply not going to pay $15 for the hard cover book, not now, not later, not ever. Put a reasonable price, and if i like it, i will buy it. And there is one thing that a lot of torrent-haters does not realize: You may download 1000 books/movies/shows, but you cannot watch them all, and soon You realize that your time is so precious and limited, that You are willing to actually pay for well spent time. And of course to demand pay back for the garbage they force you to read/watch.

  9. Re:how google fights slavery.. on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 0

    You see, you may not realize it, but you are racist. Let me translate it for you: If black people don't wanna to be free, why force them? And just as a matter of fact, in France there are a lot of women who are software developers, and i assure you, it is not because french women are smarter than US women (i know i know, it is hard to believe, but it is true).

    Anybody knows how many women developers Google has? Or i suppose they think that women are good only for one thing......

    The Bigest Slaver in the world, Google, who employes a lot of young prospective developers, burn them in 5-10 years, and then throws them in the garbage, is daring to actually fight slavery! What an irony. The thief is yelling "catch the thief".

  14. Re:Unionize on The Rise of Developeronomics · · Score: 1

    Just like the teacher's union? It all started well, and look now what a monster we have. As a long time IT professional, i realized that my biggest asset is flexibility, or with other words being able to work for many different companies in many different areas, which have only one thing in common: they all need software developers. If there was this monster, the UNION, i would not be able to compete with all the crap they produce, and with all the idiots that are already there, and whose only advantage is that they are already unionized. And just for the record, it could become more clear for you if you think in terms of "bazaar and the cathedral". One only, the "cathedral" is the union.

    Actually, there is one very god example of sci-fi movie, without (almost) CGI, and it is "BattleStar Galactica". StarGate Universe also looks promising, but unfortunately, they have run out of fresh ideas...And of course, lets not forget "Fringe".

    Yep, in Canada is different, we are capitalist country, without monopoly, and with free market, and.....actually with only two big telcos, but don't say that they are de facto monopoly, as we live in free country. No, no and NO. And the little fact that these two big non-monopoly free market companies are pushing the government to accept some bills which could effectively kill any competition is just naked, communist, anti-capitalist lie.
