"What these people don't understand that the very nature of beast centers arround coercing how people can use and manipulate information at their disposal - the anti thesis of the information age."
And what people like you don't understand is that it is entirely right to demand that people get compensated for work they do and when you copy their creative output you are acting immorally.
Slavery is bad partly because work that they produced is not owned by them. So what you are proposing is make artists, writers and software developers your slave.
Why not? If the husband is abusive, then a law in place would bring the abuse to forefront. That will help the wife don't you think?
Perhaps the law would prevent the wife from going to abortion clinic, but that's life, unless you are absolutely sure that aborting a fetus is morally ok.
"3. PJ has demonstrated a very high standard of ethics and tolerance on GROKLAW. In my humble opinion her personality (as demonstrated by her writing on GROKLAW) is not consistant with the personality the O'Gara represents in her article."
Do you mean Jehovah Witness have low standard of ethics and tolerance? (I hope not.)
GPL is working under the constraint of copyrights law. It says nothing about whether he thinks copyrights should exist at all.
No, the original 'owner' should not (read 'is immoral to') re-licence the work under proprietary licences. He could licence it under BSD licence, for example.
Redhat users are stupid:) Just kidding. They are paying for the convenience and support, but not the GPL licence for the software. Think about it. If all they care is the software, they could get it almost for free from cheapbytes.
Alas, I could be wrong. But please read all his articles, talks and interviews. He talks about hardware tax. He talks about toll road. He talks about recipe sharing. It all makes sense if you assume he thinks software should have no owner.
It's unfair to say his goal is for software developers to lose their job. But if that happens, it would not worry him very much, because he thinks software developers are not special -- naturally, since he is really humble and don't recognize he, and other talented developer, are really special. More special than the users, in my opinion.

Agree.
Lua and javascript rules!
Using too much Outlook.
Move to BC. It's the "liberal" heaven :)
In case you really don't know, it's in Texas.
Sorry, it is Texas.
Everyone sins and sinning is part of our nature.
So homosexuals are not the only one disapproved by God.
Lying and proud are the bigger sins.
Also having sex before marriage are sins too. So God also disapprove you and me.
Homophobia are not exclusive to religous people.
Nah. IBM is cool.
Start by reading their systems and research journals. You'll learn a lot.
Looks like the sales guy is incompetent.
I see it as an improvement of Managed C++
PHB may be confused, but that's neither here nor there :)
And not everybody come from America.
No one force you to use those arts -- that's slavery. If you use those arts, you are morally required to pay for it, legality not withstanding.
You are imagining things. See a psychiatrist.
And what people like you don't understand is that it is entirely right to demand that people get compensated for work they do and when you copy their creative output you are acting immorally.

You guys are greedy.
Not that I disagree, but you have to willing to draw that conclusion.
Perhaps you are overstating the cost of static typing.
One need to do some design before writing a program. Beyond certain program size, design types does not add significant cost.
As I am a conservative I'll rather have static typing than not.

That's why you are a hippie. Grown-ups sometimes need to do bad things to prevent even worse things.
Based on some of their soldiers.
:) Old pal. So you are Dennis's brother? Relative?
So in theory writing low level code is possible. How effecient is the resulting code is another issue.
CAR Hoare thinks languaage definitions should not be longer than 50 pages.
Do you mean Jehovah Witness have low standard of ethics and tolerance? (I hope not.)
Haven't you considered that they have too much to do? (They are not full-time 'creationists')
The airfare is very cheap!
I'll say Toronoto, Ottawa, Calgary, then Vancouver.
Only one more thing. Being majority is not 'Sadly'.
He really thinks developer are not special!
