I wonder if this can be used as a defence nest time the RIAA sues some PFU for Copywrite violations? Sony's EULA says their stuff is only worth $5.00, so that's what the PFU who is getting sued should pay.
Boycott isn't going to do squat to a company the size of Sony.
If Sony BMG's profits actually go down, they'll just blame music pirate and file sharers. Then they'll get laws even worse than the DCMA passes.
Everybody who get trojaned with the help of Sony's rootkit needs to sue Sony.
I guess all that work I did in school modeling electron behavior in solid-state materials was wrong, so the computers we're typing this on don't really work, and there's no such thing as a blue LED.
With the keep the button to output the sourcecode requirement RMS and the FSF are trying to license the output of their application. Especially since the HTML put out by a web application is the output. In addition they're removing freedoms as to how applications are used, something the FSF have stated many time that they are against.
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Attempts, and suggestions to restrict the way people change and use software, expecially the prosed get source functions, violate freedom 0.
In addition the attempt to controll the output of the application, and changed application go against the GPL FAQ on Liscensing GPL output.
Is there some way that I can GPL the output people get from use of my program? For example, if my program is used to develop hardware designs, can I require that these designs must be free?
In general this is legally impossible; copyright law does not give you any say in the use of the output people make from their data using your program. If the user uses your program to enter or convert his own data, the copyright on the output belongs to him, not you. More generally, when a program translates its input into some other form, the copyright status of the output inherits that of the input it was generated from.
So the only way you have a say in the use of the output is if substantial parts of the output are copied (more or less) from text in your program. For instance, part of the output of Bison (see above) would be covered by the GNU GPL, if we had not made an exception in this specific case.
You could artificially make a program copy certain text into its output even if there is no technical reason to do so. But if that copied text serves no practical purpose, the user could simply delete that text from the output and use only the rest. Then he would not have to obey the conditions on redistribution of the copied text.
Whatever the FSF decides to do with GPL-3 they need to stick to these principles.
Have looked at Groovy. Its been around for years, and still hasn't delivered on what's promised. Its all hype, and pretty useless for anyting non-trivial.
Funny, it seems like there are very few actual C++ positions that are not Windoze/MFC positions. So if you want to be a Windoze Weenie, stick with C++/Visual C++ . Sure there's lots of C++ positions around, that don't pay, developing on platforms like KDE and GTK, the the paying positions seem to be few and far between.
Personally I want to get paid to code, and I don't want to code for or on Windoze, so I use Java.
I've also the garbage C++ code produced on the *NX platform. People want to move to Java because it's the only way we can throw out your stuff. If C++ had a working garbage collector, these apps would have deleted themselves a long time ago. C++ Programming Style was written in 1992, C++ Strategies and Tactics was written in 1993, and Effective C++ was written in 1991. You C++ twits have no excuse for putting out the kind of garbage I've seen.
People who complain about Java code being bad have obviously never had to maintain legacy C++ code.

I'm sorry, what was your point again?
...
Or is your point that God should create a place where those who don't want to live in heaven can stay for eternity performing whatever acts they feel like? A place that isn't hell that is. And God should protect this place against those same ex-angels from getting there to torment you. Despite the fact that you just told him you want nothing to do with him?
The contradictions you have made issustrate the point. The whole concept is pointless and idotic. You say every person has that choice. The very act of creating a path where its either my way or burn is evil. It doesn't matter how what lables you create or attach to the being who creates it. The whole concept is B.S. there's doesn't have to be a pit. There don't have to be angels that hate us because we're more important. Its a sham. the diety can put the dead anyplace appropriate. That's why the Catholics invented Purgatory. They realized that the entire hevan/hell issue was a sham.
Christians speak of God as being all powerful, all knowing. According to this belief God can do anything beyond our human imagination. There is no reason for there to be only hevan and hell.
war is not okay? Ever? Should you accept death rather than take up arms against an attacker? It's okay for someone else to kill you, but if you kill them to prevent your own death, you are in the wrong? Should David had not killed Goliath? Perhaps the United States shouldn't have defended itself against Japan? The world would be a much better place now, right?
War is wrong. Sometimes whe have to defend ourselves. That still does not make War good.
Many practicioners of Islam see themselves at war against the infidels. Islamic Jyhad? War is wrong. Sometimes people have to take up arms to defend themselves. But that's still not a good thing. Somebody else who doesn't share those same ideals may take up arms for exactly the same reasons.
You think it's not okay that God (who I will remind you was the very one who gave the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill" to the Jews) to be the Judge of what is right and just?
You've hit the nail on the head.
You're going to have to be more concrete than that. What exactly is your problem with Paul? Perhaps it was the whole celibacy thing? "But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn" --1 Corinthians 7:9
How about Corinthians 1 11:3-9 ?
11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
You christinas are stuck with garbage like that.
I also would remind you that no man lifted a single hand against the Egyptian children. So in saying that Christianity is about promoting murder and torture, you are in effect saying that you believe that it was perfectly okay that the Egyptians took the lives of Jewish children, but it was not okay when Egyptian children died from no fault of ANY Jew present at the event?
I never said what the Egyptians did was okay. I say the Egyptians was wrong, I also say the murder of children is wrong.
Christianaty and most other religions say its okay for god to sentence people who don't agree with him or blindly accept him to burn for eternity.
That's exactly the mentallity that causes people to fly plains into buildings.
Murder and torture are not okay. Ever. Even you are a supreme being, and created the universe.
You christians keep B.S.ing about how your religion is about love, and loving your neighbor. Those liberal teachings of Jesus are great. But the conservative B.S. especially Paul's teachings, are just plain wrong. The entire context is either, god's way, or an eternity of torture. That second part kind of invalidate the first part.
What would happen if you just said "Fuck you!" and release it on the Net - jail you? The cat's already out of the bag.
The can may be out of the bag, but don't think they wont try and make an example out of you. You're likely to end up in jail, then bankrupted from legal expenses, and a convicted felon when you get out.
The government has locked people in prison for months, untill they finished their investigation, because they "think" they "mishandled" classified information.
This is really wierd. Intel targeting the Cheap Market and AMD going after the server market. Just remember what AMD's rep was before the beat Intel to the GHz mark.
As a lawyer he knows, or should know, that you should never put anything in writing that you don't want somebody publishing, or somebody else's lawyer holding up in court.
Have been using Vim for more than 10 years now. This whole '"open "source thing' as you call it seems to be working much better for than the closed source alternatives. I have used vim under Windows, Linux, Solaris, Amiga OS, and NetBSD. Yup its working.
