At the cost of Godwinning the entire thread, the same can easily be said of good people of the third Reich army. They were human, and the large majority of them were probably decent guys, trying to do the best they could, given the circumstances.
He'd fit in better in a fully socialist country, I think. He's not just accepting of the theft of the fruits of his labor, he's actively advocating the theft of everyone's resources.
I don't see how training to be able to commit mass murder of hundreds of people you don't know is somehow "turning your life around". If anything it's giving in to your base desires to be a sick fuck.
I donno. I like Steely Dan, and I think I have a pretty complete collection on my playlist, but it's not something I'll turn shuffle off for and just listen to straight through. If it comes up I probably won't hit skip, but it's just not very compelling in terms of replay value. It just seems like it's stuff that's easy to get sick of.
Though there is one track that never gets old for me, Charlie Freak. That would be on my all-time best mix CD if I were to create one.
The supermarkets provided a product that was good enough, with huge efficiency gains. It's a huge capitalist success story, thousands of inefficient small businesses wasting resources replaced by efficient large companies that allow everyone to be richer.
If the small companies provided the same offering at a lower price (or a better offering at a higher price that was worth it), then they would still be around, it's as simple as that. The ones that did offer such a thing are indeed still around. A majority of the commerce in the US is still small-to-medium businesses. I suspect it's a similar situation in most places.
Which means you are basically running as root. If you hack the user's account, you can change their password, which also happens to be the password you type to get root access. In other words, ubuntu runs with root-equivalent access by default.
Just have the ERSB rate an asset dump. If there are questionable textures of audio clips, then they can get the game maker to show them that asset in context.
Just a few minutes ago, Firefox crashed on my Linux box. I had noticed something was slowing things down. Anyway I run top, and what do I see... java_vm 99.9% CPU, with a few CPU hours tacked on it.
I wish I could say that was an isolated incident, but it isn't. It happens all the time.
There is total crap compared to Secondlife. It's like comparing Chuck E. Cheese to Vegas. There isn't a virtual world, it's just a big, heavily censored, sandbox for kids.
There are plenty of giant phalli. This doesn't let you do anything you couldn't already do. It's just helpful if you already are used to working with a certain tool. Or when SL is down, like right now (and about 20% of the time, lately).
Of course you are going to be pretty constrained translating everything into constructive solid geometry without boolean (other than AND) operators, which is all SL supports.
pedophiles and racist hatemongers. I think we can all get behind throwing such people in very small cells with no windows and melting the key down as they watch.
Pedophilia isn't a crime, and neither is hating someone. So, no, not everyone wants to live in your Orwellian fantasy where thoughtcrime is a common reason to throw someone in jail.
We recently got an RMA back from Seagate, it was embedded in about a cubic foot of closed cell foam.
It was so well protected that we actually took the drive out, put something heavy in there and dropkicked the box around the room some to see what kind of damage the box would take... it stood up very well.
It's really amazing packaging they are using now.
(Unlike fucking newegg which ships OEM drives wrapped in bubble wrap which sucks.)
We'll just buy it from China, where they don't care about protecting a small industry at the expense of many larger ones.
It might even motivate some people to change the laws when their Tivo goes dead with a message displayed about who's number to call if you want service back (your federal rep in congress).
One key is that the user doesn't have to accept the later version. The producer already said they are ok with the FSF making decisions about the license. The user hasn't, but the newer version of the GPL isn't binding on them, so it doesn't matter.
If it said something like "the latest version of the GPL" that could be problematic on the grounds you said, but it would be no less enforcable than the unilateral clauses most TOS and EULA have that claim the company has the right to change the agreement at any time.
If it's outputting part of the executable code that is GPLed, and transmitting it over the network to another host which is executing it, then use can be distribution.
It's like the Bison case. This came up in Computer Associates v. Quest. The FSF thankfully included a special license term with Bison that stated the executable code it generated was free to use, and not covered by the GPL. In absence of this special clause, it would have been covered by the GPL.
If you make blog software that has Javascript in template files that the program simply fills in and transmits, then that Javascript constitutes a distribution of GPL licensed software. AJAX makes the case even clearer. Without a special license exception for these executable parts of the application that are distributed as part of normal use, I fully believe that the use of such software makes the distributer subject to the GPL.
It may not matter in my example, since the Javascript is automatically open source, and I don't think the GPL would require you to distribute the entire program only because you distributed a part of it, but it could have some implications that should be considered.

Libertarians aren't politicians. A politician's goal is to further their career. A libertarian's goal is to put themselves out of a job.

Yes.

Because it just doesn't work that way. Get the fuck over it, or move to a socialist country like Cuba or China.
If Ford was doing something that was only a slightly less repugnant version of what Peugot was doing, sure.
Everyone in the Sims was barbie doll crotch once you took off the censorship. Wasn't really much in terms of "naughty" textures.

all root access on Ubuntu has to go through sudo.
Which means you are basically running as root. If you hack the user's account, you can change their password, which also happens to be the password you type to get root access. In other words, ubuntu runs with root-equivalent access by default.

You get one in the default inventory library I think. :P
You know I'm talking about There.com and not Secondlife. There's no sex on There.

Steely Dan sure is polished though. Maybe polished to the point of losing all character, but still very polished and smooth.
What if the venue provides only a market to sell you in-world currency to other users, not back to the company?
This is what Linden Lab does, and they claim it makes them immune from having to consider the in-world currency as real money.
What do you mean "no way to do anything"?
We can stop buying MS shit. I avoid doing so in many cases. A lot of our computers at work run Linux or Mac OS now.
Why anonymous? What you say is absolutely correct and true, however unpopular it might be to say it.
I hear they are teaching Java more in schools now, a sad thing really that even acedemia bought into the hype and empty promises.

Why would they have any trouble with it?
