Well if it turns out there is a lot of antimatter and negative energy out there in the cosmos somewhere we might in which case is would mean that the universe we have so far observed is is merely the positively charged half of a extremely large zero-point (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy) emission. In which case thermodynamics is still being properly observed. otherwise yeah it is just spreading out and the universe will die inronicly named heat death, or the universe will eventually tear open into the "bulk" as is theorized by some scientis who call it the big rip or the universe could collapse back in on itself forming a singualrity that contains everything which it would either staying or explode into a big bang like the one that created our universe or you can pick any of the multitude of religious predictions most of which are slightly less depressing if you happen to be on the good side of what ever deity happens to be real, (unless you are Norse in which case you and the gods will party then go die in battle against the frost giants at the gates of Asgard)

You mean proponents of so-called "free" software would deliberately appropriate source code and try to prevent people from using it according to the license that the author intended?
i thought the BSD license was a "do what ever you want with it license". So the intent of the author is as is understand it is for you to do what ever you want with it including make it a different flavor of free.
Getting out of the x86 market would be the wrong move they are after all responsible for the AMD64 architecture. If I where them I would look into a multi-architecture computing. Have a board support running on ARM for low power and fire up the x86_64 core when you need more power. Possibly put both cores in the same possessor similar to the APU design where the CPU and GPU are built one on top of the other. Or maybe I'm just crazy. I admittedly know little about the processor design if someone would be so good as to enlighten me on the subject it would be much appreciated.
I would not be surprised to see AMD go up for sale but what ever happen they will probably keep building x86 family processors i could see anothe tech company snap them up just so that they could build them. Best case would be someone like IBM buying them and continuing the development and manufacture, more likely though I could also see Apple buying AMD so that they wouldn't have to buy chips from Intel anymore. worst case scenario though Microsoft buys them as a way to further their aspiring dream of being a hardware company. (shudder)
a vpn for a whole town would lead to a number of problem including baning you ip due to "suspicious activity from your ip" but i quiet like the route through tor idea but tor is fairly slow, I would however run a tor node at my ISP if i were him. also try giving people cheap/free static IP addresses. Also don't log where people go so the gov can show up and demand your logs of peoples traffic to catch suspected evil dirty pirates.
Odd how the most used *nix is GPLed -Linux odd how veteran companies from the unix war (oracle, ibm, hp,) are pushing the use of LInux and other GPLed software.
maybe they figured out that sharing is best but if that were it they could have simply shared and setteled on a BSD. Or they realize that working where there competitor can't simply fork and close at will is best for everyone involved thus settling on a GPL licensed stack
if i recall correctly Linux on Linux virtualization with vmware and virtualbox have hardware openGL acceleration. And windows on windows has dirextX acceleration so it is possible if you have enough ram
+ 5 insightful people here seem to forget obamas failings out of blind fear of those "horrible conservatives creationists" while obama goes about destroying civil liberties.
both party's were paid off by the *iaa's for SOPA ACTA and PIPA it was only the massive public outcry and fear of loosing their jobs and getting blamed for killing the internet that kept it from passing. the problems is the piratesdon't have a lobby.

Ubuntu is or until recently was the most popular Linux desktop they the number two now one Mint is based on Ubuntu; thus ubuntu is the most obvious Linux flavor to start with. Requiring the current LTS or later is entirely reasonable, especially for beta software. Besides Valve has said if all goes well the will add support for more distros. no need to whine because it wasn't you favorite varient they chose if you don't like it you can always duel boot, try extracting the (probably.deb) package and install it yourself. or you could run it in a VM or any of a dozen other possible ways putting it on your favorite distro.
I will stick with nano. When I need to work in a terminal emacs and vi(m) just seem to much of a pain in the ass. Why would in need to have a text editor be my browser, my mail client, rss reader and chess opponent (emacs)? Why do I need to switch modes to move around text files when I have arrow keys on my keyboard(vi(m)) to do that? Nano is clean and simple. It edits text files. If I need to do something else I would use something else. Emacs seems to me in my humble opinion to have forgotten the Unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" and has instead gone for the do absolutely everything you can cram in until you run out of key combinations to trigger them school of thought.
it would be fairly public because pretty much the only thing they could do is withdraw MS Office for OSX, they couldn't sue them for patents or other IP due to already in place cross licensing agreements that breaking would cost them a significant amount of cash. They have other products for Apple but Office is the only one people really use.
or instead of casting one single vote we could rank the candidates from best to worst and the canidate with highest over all score wins the election which would more than likely lead to moderate semi sane people getting elected as all of the parties realize that the start putting smarter people in and get rid of demagogues who will get both rated highly by one set of whackjobs and lowly by the nut-cases at the other end of the spectrum. so we would have a system rewarding sound reason instead of which charismatic loon happens to have the largest fallowing of zealots by 1% or can discourage 60% of the nation to not bother

while it is easy to make a voting machine it is harder to make one that is untamperable unhackable auditable and cheap

not required you could go dig it up on your own if you wanted to they would just be a convenience.

they will stay on you phone until you uninstall them after that they are gone, just like on PC's when you lose the install disk to you software.
