Granted, this was on a trailing-edge machine, but SP2 made copy to the clipboard crash the system every time, for every app. That's a pretty major screw-up in my book.
Yeah, my example was not ideal. Just to clarify, I was talking about unselfishly giving a gift, not forcing people to give things without compensation. It seems there's a lot of people like Schwartz that refuse to see that as even an possibility. Not everything in the world is a zero-sum game.
It seems like the Schwartzes of the world want to take without giving credit/compensation, but they can't grasp the idea that anyone would want to give without getting compensation.
Nobody's forcing you to use GPL'd code. Go write it yourself if you don't want to play in that game.
I think Van Gogh should have stipulated that all his unsold paintings be burnt after his death. I mean, if he didn't profit from them, why the hell should he share them with an ungrateful world? Why on Earth would anybody do anything unless they stand to gain from it? You'd have to be a really stupid fucking schmuck to give anything to the world for free.
"They also have a long term plan to stop individuals from using the court system. They do this for two reasons. One, they want less accountability for corporations,"
Accurate, but short-sighted. Redress in fair courts is how we avoid pissed-off people resolving greivences in other ways. But, the neocons probably expect to be safely in their walled-off mansions patrolled by Wackenhut before then.
But I like killing people that have never set foot on our soil, and likely never would have, if we hadn't killed them first! What's good for the armaments industry, is good for America. (Offer does not apply to places that aren't America...)
Hey! Wait a minute, I kinda like that idea! Like a modern version of Thunderbirds. It's time for Star Trek in a different vein, a comedy would be good! This could work.
For me, it's strange watching some crimelord's flunky from "Crime Story", first as Buffalo Bill in "Silence of the Lambs", then as Alan Shepard, then as the captain of detectives in "Monk".
Actually, Spock embedded his consciousness in Dr. McCoy just before he dies of radiation exposure near the end of "The Wrath of Khan". So your joke would be better if the imaginary title was "I am also Bones".
Since the ancient Greeks, dramatists have recognized that there are seven basic plots.
Robert Heinlien used the revelvant one for this case in "All You Zombies" -- "orphan girl meets boy, boy gets girl pregnant, boy runs off, girl gives baby up for adoption, girl turns out to be hermaphrodite whose womanly parts just happen to be ruined by the birth so has sex re-assignment surgery as a man, man joins the time patrol, man meets girl, man gets girl pregnant, man runs off, man time-jumps ahead nine months and adopts baby...".
See, this simple, classic plot solves the BBC's dilema with Dr Who quite neatly!

(Golem XIV was a special case in that it did bother to talk down to humans. And still there were like 12 people in the world that could follow.)

You're thinking of NOMAD, and it eventually did try to sterilize its creator.
Where's the paypal site where I can contribute to end "Enterprise"?!!
I bet you kids think the phonecops are merely a figment of the benighted past now, too.

So God's a plunger with a hand on the end that has an eyeball in the palm? Can he get me a date with Montana Wildhack?
It's pretty damn obvious that the world was created in 6 days -- by the lowest bidder.
What we really need is a science fiction expansion pack for Progress Quest!
