    Overpopulation is self-adjusting. It's not pretty, famine, war and diseases comes in to play, but it is still self-adjusting.
    We are not going to see the end of the world because of it.

    As the technological level of a civilisation increases, the birth rate decreases. So population does tend to be seld adjusting.

    Here is what I think will happen:
            At some point Poettering will piss off Linux enough to get him banned from submitting to the mainstream kernel.
            To deal with the problems of no active maintainer of systemd contributing to the kernel, Linus will write his own boot system.
            This system will work better then the sysinit system, but not be anywhere near as onerous as systemd.

    I thought reverse engineering the server protocol was perfectly legal. Samba/CIFS and Bitkeeper are two protocols for which this was an example.

  18. Re:How often would this work? on DMCA Exemption Campaign Would Let Fans Run Abandoned Games · · Score: 1

    Sometimes to access a site, you need to connect to a proxy. Every piece of software that connects to the next has to assume it needs to be routed through a proxy. The reverse engineers can write a small proxy which reroutes those particular addresses to something else.

    Still I find it hard to believe that IP's hard code IPs. They are prone to change.

    You either don't know LLVM or you don't know Android.

    Well obviously you either don't know these projects as well as you do or you are willing to lie about them.

    They are not the same.

    Obviously they are not Android is an Operating system and LLVM is a set of compiler tools. The point of analogies is to compare similar things that are different. Analogies comparing the same thing really don't work. For example, if doesn't make sense to draw an analogy between the digestive system of a Guernsey cow and the digestive system of a Guernsey cow does it?

    LLVM was a postgrad student project,

    A student whose name is Chris Lattner. Who has been the project maintainer his whole life. Who went to work for Apple to bring the code up to snuff and created a team there to maintain it.

    and remains an open project, that anyone can contribute to http://llvm.org./

    Android was a commercial product bought by Google

    and whose core was open sourced. It's called AOSP. and like LLVM anyone can contribute to it.

    If LLVM were a Microsoft product instead of an Apple product, we would all agree he had reason to be wary. Frankly the way Apple has acted since Jobs came back, there would still be enough justification to be wary of them as Microsoft.

    Not to mention emacs, Visual Studio and such enforcing some indentation standards and programming languages enforcing others.
