You're kidding right? It would be very difficult for Internet Explorer Inc. to explain to its stock holders why they have no revenue. But of course, you understood that they give it away for free.
So Debian removes Non-Free software, even against its charter. Thankfully, the group of Debian users that still believe the Non-Free software component is important to the user-base, can write a new Charter, fork the entire distro, and can largely still benefit from the Free-only Debian's work.
Who cares? The theatre owns the property and can let whomever they wish in. If I don't like that policy, I have no right to demand being let in with a Big Mac in my hands.
Actually, that's a little off. Objectivism isn't about doubting everything. In fact, she slams pretty hard into anyone who thinks that knowledge and reason are impossible. It would be more like "don't believe what other's say. Use your own mind and reason to reach conclusions about reality." And Nazism, well that's rooted in evil, plain and simple.
Am I the only one here that finds this article painted with a sad irony that the author quotes Fransico D'Anconio of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged then goes on a tirade about "the public good" and general rant about "global capitalism".
Also, it makes any other acts of punishment much more enforceable. For example, it's much easier to declare that MS v 1.0 cannot share API's with MS v 2.0 if they are two distinct legal entities with their own property, employees, and management.
Don't forget both of them have users. The site has both current users looking for faster access to their site, as well as potential users. If the ISP believes that their customers would benefit from a fatter pipe to their favourite sites, then, in effect, they are peer sharing their customers. It's not that different from going to a movie theatre and getting a coupon to a local fast-food restaurant.
I think Loki is working on a tool that would help this. It's called, not surpisingly, setup and aims at being both distro idenpendent as well as architecture independent.
Actually, the reason the RCMP act as the police force in some areas and not others is that they can act as a provincial police force in those provinces that duplicating federal and provincial police forces would be very wasteful. For example, Saskatchewan has no provincial police force, and so the RCMP have jurisdiction over the provincial highways. Ontario and I believe Quebec each have provincial police forces, and so the need for the RCMP is much less. However, I think only the RCMP has jurisdiction over federal lands, like National Parks, and so probably have jurisdiction over some areas in most cities, especially those with some sort of federal governmental offices.
My understanding is that guns don't have to be registered at all. (In Canada I'm pretty sure they don't) Actually, currently in just about every national newspaper the Canadian governments say that you need to register ALL your firearms as well as a license to purchase guns, or ammunition.
Well, that could be a factor, but not all teen homicides end in suicide, obviously. What the study showed is that many kids are depressed, frustrated, whatever, to the point where they feel they have no future so spending the rest of their life in prison, or ending it becomes their only perceived option. Some percentage have a tendency towards killing, some towards suicide, and some towards both.
They are not pro-Gates. They are pro-reason. They are against any restrictions on freedom, which is what Free Software is about, right?
Try this it has some interesting reads if you fellas are really for freedom.
Government regulation protects the people from big companies.
Under a Free society, big companies deserve the same protection from you as do you from Big Companies. Free software, and libertarianism takes this into account; you do not.
Just as an interesting aside, I heard once that the rate of teen suicide has nearly exactly mimicked the rate of teen murder for a long, long time. No kid will kill themselves if they think they have a worthwhile future, and the same goes for killing others.
Information does not want to be free. People want other people's information to be free. How can any reasonable/.er get up in arms about doubleclick.net gathering surfing information, and then claim that information wants to be free. I certainly don't want the contents of swiss bank accounts to be free. I don't want the information about my last Doctor visit to be free. I don't want the information about where I live or my favoutite porno movie to be free for every John Q. Nobody to claim rights to and play with until his hearts content.
Recently, I've joked with my friends that I should start a.com, offer "linux solutions to real world problems" and quickly announce an IPO. Looks like someone just beat me too it.
However, LinuxOne, in the future it would probably be easier to rip off one of those 2 floppy disk distro's. That way you wouldn't be pressured to rewrite and documentation.

The same thing happened when Walmart came to Canada. People organized anti-Walmart community groups and tried to block them coming to their town in order to save everyone from Low Low prices. I doubt many were succesful, and thankfully so. One report has said the cost of living in Canada is down 7% due solely to Walmart moving and pressuring other stores to lower their prices on their merchandise.

Not only have you misread the article entirely, you are completely wrong about your basic philosophy. Try this article. You actually suggest that we should look to other "guiding principles"? Like socialism, or communism, or fascim. All of these carry the same philosophy as yours.
