This is funny, but the entire point of open source is the sharing of ideas and implementations. GPL isn't designed to force others to share, but to facilitate sharing while letting the original authors get credited. You can't do that while hunting down anyone who you think is using your code unfairly.
No, this is regulating the shipment of potentially biohazardous material across state lines. Also, anything that crosses a state line becomes a federal matter automatically (so the feds have jurisdiction - which has been true for a very long time). Nobody is telling you that you can't walk across a border because you contain stemcells, and this is not a secret government plot to take away constitutional rights or the rights of states. This is a sensationalist story and unworthy of Slashdot.
I'm a college freshman so I remember high school very well. Teachers put a slide up with all the info on it and waited for students to copy everything down before advancing. They trained students to copy everything they see instead of evaluating what needs to be copied.
Newspeak is based on the now largely discredited idea that we think in words from our language, meaning that if we don't have words in our language to express an idea we can't even think about that idea. You don't have anything to worry about.
I've actually been to that place. I wanted to laugh but probably would have been attacked. They made claims such as that radioactive decay didn't start occuring until modern times, and that light was getting slower. They had an exhibit of a prehistoric scene with a white girl feeding a dinosaur. They didn't even stick to the actual Bible stories. When a projector broke down everyone was singing amazing grace until it was fixed. An *interesting* experience.
They have limited access cyber cafes that run a government monitored and filtered internet via a North Korean Linux distribution. Linux being used as a tool of oppression really pisses me off.
Or we use the epic resource surplus to spread out as widely as possible. Economic arguments kind of fail when you have mass replicator powered by some futuristic nigh unlimited powersource. Want to build a 500km long colony ship? Go for it! You want to build a particle accelerator in space that has the diameter of the moon? Why not. Hell, you can even waste exuberant amounts of energy. Unfortunately it's more likely that we'll just reduce everyone's wages without fixing the cost of living. We are approaching a point where we get to choose between a positive future where everyone's needs are met with amazing surpluses used for things we've always wanted to try, or collapse of society as we know it. I'd prefer the first one.
That's not too great though. You'll be getting a very small amount of mass relative to your energy investment. The problem is that the speed of light is too high. Now if you can lower the speed of light....
With one problem: Our society believes that everyone has to work for their supper. The problem is that as production gets more efficient you don't need as many people. We're going to have some serious problems if we can't get it through our heads that we're going to make a world so efficient that eventually very few people will need to be employed.

Didn't we run a story last week about how the FBI considered VPN usage suspicious activity?
Oh goodie! Maybe the government will think you're a terrorist then!
Self defense by doing exactly what you criticize is moronic. It's the we need nukes because they have them mentality.
Sorry, but no. Treat the industry as you want to be treated.

But when else are you going to post on Slashdot?
Slashdot: Now with kisses for being modded up and bites for being modded down.
Video conferencing implies board meetings to me, and I'm not sure this feature is going to be useful in that context. At least I hope not.
Eyesight? Pfft, rather have Eidetic memory.

Stupidity museum. Sounds like cable.
A better analogy would be giving everyone in town a reprimand for one person breaking the law.
Without space exploration there isn't much point to our civilization.
A bachelor's in government, is that like a minor in plant psychology?
You wouldn't know what to do with those domains if you had them.

But what happened to using cockroaches as the spies of the future?
He's making the mistake of assuming that big corporations are subject to the penalties of law. Forgive him, he must be new here.
But I use nebulas to navigate in Freelancer all the time. They're so bright and colorful you can't miss them...Oh wait.
