    Its being rolled out, not everyone has it yet.

    Look in your Settings / Forwarding

    GPL doesn't allow GPL and non-GPL to be in linked libraries to eachother, while LGPL will.

    How is capitalism based on "destroying" someone elses product? I'm pretty sure capitalism is based upon making a better product than the compitition, but it needs government laws that are fair and strict enforced to make sure that we don't go around destroying eachothers property to excape the need to improve.

  4. Misleading headline. on UK Gov't EU Software Patents Public Meeting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Shouldn't there be a coma or something in that headline.

    As it is it reads the the UK is patenting the process of a "Public Meeting".

    Scared me for a second there.

    I seriously doupt this thing could sail into the sun even at an angle without some serious modifications. Its not that kinda sail.

  6. Re:Punishment fitting the crime? on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but its not just keeping suckers from being taken advantage of, its keeping mail-servers and the rest of the internet from being taken advantage of. Remember most of these spammers also break into computer systems to use them to send their spams, I'm surprised this guy didn't get sentenced for these other computer crimes. Probably hard to prove though.

  7. Re:Punishment fitting the crime? on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1

    A serious spammer like this causes millions of dollars in real damage to mail servers and buisness cost. If someone went and physically destroyed millions of dollars of property, would you not want him put in prison for atlest 9 years. *This isn't made up millions of dollars like copyright theft or that guy we all wanted released from prison for hacking.. who was that guy???*

    Anyways, if the only punishment is monitary damages, these people will simply flee the country and continue their acts. We need a serious deterent to this crime that causes serious damage.

  8. Re:Let France elect the US president! on How Would You Change U.S. Election Procedures? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, of course, brilliant. Any country can count its population and be assigned an amount of electoral votes!!

    Of course the countries have to may tax, and the states need to conform to our constituion.

  10. Re:No Violations Here on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    Yes, but as long as its not a weapon that is directed to attack people on the ground, its ultimatly a mech-war. As a society though we could survive without our satalites, but we are reaching a point where we won't. So there I do see a problem, such as its a problem we our enemies attack our power plants, it will be a problem with our enemies attach our space power plants. The later is much less guarded... should it be?

  12. Re:NASA should keep the study "top secret". on Kim Peek, aka Rain Man Focus of NASA Study · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know I shouldn't respond to this troll. But I personally know many chinese, and can tell you they are not morally bankrupt.
    Upon questioning them about Tibet, it is obviously apparant that their government has severily altered the truth. Basically the offical line is that the Tibetians (spelling?) are poor and need Chinas help. Tibet is basically viewed as a welfare state by the rest of China. Many Chinese only want Tibet to be part of their country because they feel compasion and want to help them.

    Sadly I could not convense the chinese I talked to that Tibet was anything different, as they assumed that different views were lies by the Western Media. Oh well. Now the Chinese Government being morally corrupt, I could definatly agree. But, I would not be so quick to assume that the civilians are such.

    That prevents us from hiring a new Stalin on the first Tuesday in November and suddenly finding ourselves carted off to a gulag in... well, wherever our Siberia would be. ANWR would be my suggestion.

    I wonder if that was the case, would we be more careful in choosing out president and nominees?

    I can't see how anybody would expect an electronic voting machine to do anything BUT measure the votes correctly. Its not like we are dealing with decimal places where computers have a ligitimate reason to make mistakes.

    I think we meant, in a county by county basis, it would be nice to see if the big descrepancies that article mentioned existed. What I bet you will see are very small discrepancies in each county which lead to an overall larger desrepancy state wide.

    No, read the treaty. It bans Nuclear and other WMD.
