So this patch basically does the equivalent of a user going into the program's settings and disabling the JavaScript execution checkbox? Hmmm, I don't want to post this anonymously, so I'll apply one of my homebrew patches to uncheck the "Post Anonymously" checkbox. Wow, I'm l33t!
Yeah, it was kind of suspicious when it was noted that they were all overpaid exactly $655.36. The former workers want to reduce that to $640, since that should be enough for anybody.
Yes, we need a way to get rid of all that heat. After all, heat is the last thing we need when generating electricity; just look at any typical conventional electric generator plant .
In other words, security through obscurity. In this case, they get the security that their possible incompetence won't be found out, because the blacklist is obscure.
In that analogy the state of the coins exists but is unknown, and the relationship between the two coins is known. The key feature of entanglement of a pair of photons is that the state of the photons is FUNDAMENTALLY UNKNOWN i.e. "does not exist"
That's what I don't get, where scientists convert "we don't know of any way to find out their state" to "they HAVE no state". That always sounds to me about like my saying that because I can't see outside my house at the moment, there is nothing at all outside it.
Good catch on the different legs of split phase. Always wondered about that. Guess they can't use the ground wiring for some reason?
Because voltages are between two points in a circuit. If one transceiver is between ground and phase 1, and the other is between ground and phase 2, you don't have two conductors in common.
Why not just have a faulty keyboard whose enter/return key occasionally registers a press, even when you don't press it? "Sorry, I started the software installer, went into the other room to do something else while it installed, then came back and it was done. I never saw an EULA."
They could even institute a "community justice" system where after a suitable period (a fea years) and every community member has downloaded, examined the evidence to be sure it really is a working program without any problems, and judged it as infringing or not, a judgment is made, which could be posted.
gift - Something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation.
I think that was the definition implied when referring to BSD as a "gift license". Your characterization of Parens just displays your bias.
The GPL license, due to copyright laws, allows this dual-licensing, which basically means unequal rights for developers (those who hold the copyright and, thus, can fork it into a proprietary license, while demanding that everyone else stick to the GPL version). If you want developers to have equal rights, i.e., they can do *whatever* I want (i.e., "freedom"), then don't chose the GPL, chose a license such as the BSD license.
These unequal rights are due to copyright law, not any particular source code license; the developer of the code always has more legal options than anyone he licenses it to, even if he uses the BSD license.
mice genetically engineered to have memory problems were raised in an enriched environment [...] The mice were then returned to normal conditions, where they grew up and had offspring. This next generation of mice also had better memory, despite having the genetic defect and never having been exposed to the enriched environment.
Who's to say the enrichment caused this, lacking a control whose parents were NOT raised in an enriched environment? And if they did do a control (RTFA, yeah right), the explanation could simply be that the enriched environment resulted in a more healthy womb that the offspring grew in. Parents pass a lot more than just DNA to their offspring.
Linking to links to illegally-distributed content should also be illegal. So the very mention of P.B. should be illegal as well, including this very posting. Thus, the Internet should be deemed illegal... wait, even offline should be, since it mentions the Internet!!!!!
Ages ago I came up with the Slim Devices Public Source License, which later got rolled into the Logitech Public Source License. Only recently did we actually ship a major firmware product based on it, which is the SqueezeOS platform that underlies the (imminently hackable, linux based) Squeezebox Controller. Customers can see the source code, learn how it works, customize it to their needs, etc, but they are not allow to redistribute without permission. It's not "Open Source" by the official definition, but it's a great compromise IMHO which met our business constraints.
Why the need for any kind of license, then? Just include the source code along with the product, and default copyright law makes it illegal for him to redistribute the source, modified or not. This is no different than the manuals and other information included with a product, also covered by copyright law.

Don't worry, those also get logged and sent to other three-letter agencies.

The social non-networking site I use, isolatr.com, is never down, and has never failed to bring me zero annoying "friends". I highly recommend it.

Sounds like a mere coincidence, not irony.

Is there a version of that website before a tornado hit it? Like one that starts out describing its point?
After all that, surely I've done something more, like find a cause for cancer or something, right?
Would a web proxy work around this?

So much for you calling out others' biases.
The GPL is to ensure that contributed code remains open. It's not about quantity.

So, you think that's the representation of the world you're seeing?

Now when I need confirmation that 2+2=4, Google isn't there to help. What a letdown.

Yes but even the Slashdot posting script won't fall for all-caps scams.
This one is the worst of all: "Lincoln was NOT Lincoln. He was someone else!"
Bad news: there will never be official Spaceball merchandise. I know I was crushed when I found out.
