The government (note: the government) of Virginia required someone to put up a bond when freeing his slaves, to ensure that the slaves would not become a ward of the state. Jefferson, not being the idiot you think he was, was quite aware of the contradictions of his ownership of slaves, but simply couldn't afford to free them.
As for Jefferson boning his female slaves, the genetic evidence merely shows that a male in the Jefferson family passed on his genes. It could quite easily have been Jefferson's nephew, who was known to spend weeks at a time when visiting. -russ p.s. facts are such ugly things, aren't they?

Instead of hacking up a keyboard, why not use a whykey adapter? It merges the output of two keyboards into a single stream of keystrokes. Much easier that way. -russ

Yes, Nick Petreley gave us some of the first-ever press coverage for Linux. And it's always been positive (his latest Bruce Perens/OSI rant aside). -russ
Sorry, but I have no reason to criticize Linus's beer belly. I put on an similar amount of weight between our first and second children. Guess what? If you're a hacker, and father, and athlete, something has to go. You can't stop being a father without killing your kids (although at 5:00AM, the possibility becomes much more attractive), and choosing between hacking and athletics, well, the athletics went.
But there's hope. Babies don't stay babies forever, and when they get older, while they still need as much attention, you can concentrate it and actually Get Some Exercising in. -russ
If you were able to read the deleted comments, in what way were they being censored? Answer is: they weren't. They were being marked as "You probably don't want to bother reading this, but you can if you want."
That's precisely the function of an editor, and I'm glad someone is exercising editorial control. -russ
I proposed that we appoint three new members to the board. Bruce quit while that motion was on the table. So now one of the new members replaces Bruce, and the board gets bigger by two. -russ

You're right that if the EULA is invalid, people would only have the default permissions that copyright law grants them -- that is, none. However, they don't have that permission, nor a lot of other permissions, under the EULA.
People would still have the legal right to use the software, however. -russ
Sorry dude, this is bullshit. If they don't give the software to anyone but themselves, they have no more requirements under the GPL than any other license to copy. Look at Critical Path. They've modified the hell out of qmail. But that's okay, because they're not distributing it.
Go read the GPL before you opine on it. -russ
Doh! If it's internal, you don't have to!

Gratis means without cost.
Libre means freedom.
