The goal of Python 3 was never to have everyone using it in 2012, it was to have a nicer Python language available at some point a little further into the future. For things like the str->unicode conversion, a big break is one of the better ways to transition.
And lots of people are unhappy that things didn't get painted their favorite color, but the process used, where people willing to do the work to make changes were the ones that made changes, was fairly democratic.
As a reply to wisty's mildly stated comment, Z00L00K's comment is pretty much suggesting that since you can't do everything you might as well do nothing.
70%-80% of their revenue goes towards paying for the operations that generate those revenues, so it is a bit trollish to use the 'revenue stream' as a point of reference.
(Note that I think BP is a great example of corporate liability limits gone wrong, but if you are going to complain about propaganda, you should go out of your way to make your numbers look bad. What I mean by gone wrong is that BP has done a great job of demonstrating that governments need to be more capable of dissolving corporations that are systematically broken.)
It's worse than that, it isn't very likely that there is a direct tradeoff between privacy and security, so the very notion that they somehow need to be balanced is off the tracks.
If that were true, BP would be setting the price for oil and oil derivatives, as would the other producers. I suppose they can do things to try to influence the price, but over medium term periods of time, they can't control it. That's all the competition that matters.
I don't think BP particularly cares about the public interest, but I am fairly confident that growing fuels in vats will eventually be cheaper than extracting it from the ground.
If it is obvious from lab scale stuff that a technology would be cheaper than the extraction cost of oil and would be capable of scaling to enormous volume, I have little doubt that a company like BP would dive in with 2 feet. The "if it is obvious" leaves lots to worry about, but biofuel technology is improving all the time and the costs of extracting petroleum are going up all the time.
There's also lots of big money that wants to use patents that are currently exclusive.
(The copyright analogy is easy to make, but the copyright on Mickey Mouse didn't make it that much harder for Shrek to come into existence, where on the other side, if Henry Ford's patent portfolio were still in force, Tesla Motors probably wouldn't be in business)
To be fair, there are plenty of things outside of the school bureaucracy that attempt to wack anyone trying to take responsibility for their choices upside the head.
(The incipient authoritarianism is at least encouraged by requiring attendance in a one-size-fits-all system, especially when you wind it together with social promotion and the conflation of teaching hours and education)
The store could charge the developer for auditing to make sure that any required source code was bundled with the app.
Wouldn't be a great solution for some of the source-hog libraries out there though, and the revenue from such apps might not even justify setting up such a process.

He is proposing that the first transition should be in the fall as it would be a 0 hour shift, rather than a 2 hour shift.
You have a problem with him reverse engineering the inner workings of a device he legally purchased and then sharing that information publicly?

So Canada is participating in this price control structure?

There's plenty of room between a padded cell and doing absolutely nothing.
I mean, keeping poisonous substances out of reach of a 3 year old isn't coddling them, it is preventing accidents that are easy to prevent.
They have all the same issues with intense gravity that we do.
There's a joke about obesity in there, but even our mere millions provide plenty enough outliers to staff a few space toys.
The point is that the hardware on the phone can, with the addition of an external screen and keyboard, support both.
A child isn't recognized as being capable of giving consent. It's like half of the point of the distinction between a child and an adult.
They serve a massive number of complicated pages. They have been hiring people away from Google and such.
They made a government and started participating in the world community.
Something like 75% of oil is used as fuel:

Patents only last for 20 years.
Of course, such a device would still be quite useful at shooting down such missiles.
If you don't trust the hardware to be secure for some activity, it hardly matters what software you are running on it.
If by 'looks funny' you mean it leaves some of the screen blank, then sure, I agree that they will notice.
Consumers don't notice aspect ratio problems, or like them wrong. I doubt they will notice this.
