And here I was thinking that exposing my son to things like Google Earth and science / nature related Internet sites was a good thing.
Nice people don't want to punish those they disagree with.
"If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs."

Wrong.
For electronic and audio-visual media, unauthorized reproduction and distribution is also commonly referred to as piracy (an early reference was made by Daniel Defoe in 1703 when he said of his novel True-born Englishman : "Its being Printed again and again, by Pyrates"[2]). The practice of labeling the act of infringement as "piracy" actually predates copyright itself. Even prior to the 1709 enactment of the Statute of Anne, generally recognized as the first copyright law, the Stationers' Company of London in 1557 received a Royal Charter giving the company a monopoly on publication and tasking it with enforcing the charter. Those who violated the charter were labeled pirates as early as 1603

You expect to be able to use programs for free yet expect others to pay you to make a movie. Doesn't that sound just a little crazy? It looks the me like you like getting paid for your work yet do not wish to do others the same courtesy.

Actually providing information about those BSOD will not result in the end of the universe.
That is because everything wrong in the world is the fault of Microsoft according to PJ.
Actual experience with a Microsoft product disqualifies you from talking about it on /. :)
How do I do threads in AJAX?

Are the names of the utilities in question covered by a NDA?
Do you guarantee your work fully against every possible thing that could damage it?
Sorry, I'm new.

Because your construction company isn't vital to public health.
Utopians don't call for the punishment of those who disagree with them.
I am equally amazed that so many people trust RMS.

You can buy outlook for less than 200.00
I want it for free so you should make it for free. That is after all what you just said a few post up.
Then why are you begging from money to film a movie?
Did anyone expect anything less when they used a song called "The New Shit" to promote it?
"My creativity is its own reward." None of my utility companies take creativity as a method of payment.
My code only runs if you tell it to. That you think by simply downloading my code you can give it to 10,000 of your friends is just plain stupid.
May I use that in the future?
Did you miss the part where the person I responded to said they would not respect my rights?
That is your choice. You however aren't free to use it for free and you damn sure aren't going to punish me for writing it.
Do you work for free?
