Dude, you just did it again. Your nr 3 is non sequitur. You want that "meaningless" result so hard it shuts off your brain, and your rant about self-satisfied people is straight out of left field. You brought that all yourself. People will use any excuse for being self-satisfied, there's nothing special about this one. Fatheaded people take pride in stupidity, in intellect, in talent, in mendacity, any character trait at all. But "telling this with a sigh, ages and ages hence" is just superbly ambiguous. It's a Rorschach test, the important thing is what you see in it. One thing I see in it is the possibility that he knows he's let himself in for the ire of dyed-in-the-wool, abusive conformists. But conscious mockery or Palinesque unconscious parody? I just don't see that in the poem, the character trait he's discovering is legitimately consequential.
Did I just work myself around to saying it could encompass the mockery you're seeing? I think I did.
I think the poem makes more sense if you focus on his criteria for choosing rather than this specific choice. You can't fit a lifetime of choices into a poem, but you can exemplify how a man makes choices. Faced with a matter of pure preference, given the slightest evidence that one way is less traveled than another this one will take it, as having "perhaps the better claim". This specific moment is I imagine the moment he became self-aware.
As you say, there's a difference between license and ownership. They've licensed one copy of the software. For software sold at stores, where you hand over your money and they give you the box or the download, they don't own the purchaser. Specific terms beyond the universally-understood ~this is licensed for use on one system at a time~ (or say 5 or whatever for stuff sold as a "family pack") are in contract territory, attempting to impose terms after they have your money is pure self-entitled grabbery.
Your very first sentence managed to pack in multiple blatant faults, combining raw nonsense (swapping the lecture/practice sites somehow gives up control you later say they don't have) with an unwarranted implicit generalization from some teachers you know to all teachers. It gets worse, descending to bigotry flatly contradicted by obvious facts, several of them in the article and video of which you so openly and proudly flaunt your ignorance. The whole needed to be burned and buried. I burned it. You can whine whatever burial rites you like.
If my objection had been to what your bud posted, I'd have answered his post. I know (
This is Slashdot, we don't read the article.
) you don't bother knowing what you're talking about, and apparently the subtleties of the harder three-letter words are too much for you, but is even the simplest inference too much for you too?
Echo chamber's working full force I see. I guess the important thing is to say the same things all your friends are saying, right? Wouldn't want to learn anything, that'd make them look bad. And that would be rude.
If propagating lies isn't your aim, perhaps not uncritically adopting every premise slashdot commenters offer will help next time?
Knowing enough about California to recognize in what state you can find the Los Altos school district might be good, too, seeing as how you're in California and all.
And maybe, just maybe, you could put more effort into improving your district and less into sneering at it? That's generally how things get better. Just a thought.
Hey, that's pretty good. Vandalism, theft, fraud, abuse of process, all crimes when done by kids and rights when done by corporate thralls.
I'm going to break something of yours, now. But it's ok, see, I wrote myself a permission slip, AND I'm going to let you choose which of these two things to let me break!
I'll even let you watch, and if you try to fix it afterwards I sue your ass into oblivion in a court case I and everyone on the planet knows I can't win, but I don't care. I get paid the same either way, but it'll break you, and that's the point. When you're as rich as I am, treating people this way will be your right too.
Posting a spoof story is about as far from reason to get all high-and-mighty as possible. I'd try to mock you for your dudgeon, but it'd be like quoting Sarah Palin. The kids gotta practice on something.
That said, this smells an awful lot like lalalalaican'theeeerrrreyouuu, and I hope they get properly shamed for it.
I cannot remember the year by which New York City would have been buried six feet deep in horse shit no matter how fast they shoveled, but it was a long, long time ago. There it is, a Google search says I was lowballing the depth substantially.
You can make cars that'll travel in 9 feet of horseshit. I don't think you cam make a horse do that.
Is that due to the sheer number of users on a single server
Combine the Stormwinds on every WoW server into one, likewise with every other city. Just one Stormwind auction house for all of WoW. Same with all the territory, all the economic and PvP, all one server image. PvE raids are sharded but they're newb tuts and farms, they're like playing PvZ when you want a brainless break.
Catch what he followed it with, though. I believe him.
"We love Windows and we love Windows Phone and the Xbox, and we are going to do all of the work together to optimize these... but fundamental to the value proposition of communications is to reach everybody whether they are on your device or not. In fact it will be one of our competitive advantages," he said.
You're forgetting the PR and lobbying leverage Sony gets out of smearing everyone but themselves.
Before this (the dos'ing included), Sony was certainly struggling if not outright losing the PR game, and what people would remember, all the evidence anyone could point to, the worst thing any of the actors in this little drama had done, was Sony breaking part of their customer's equipment and claiming it was ok because customers could choose which part to let Sony break.
So now they're the good guys again, _and_ they can smear everyone but themselves as criminals. I have to say, I think they deserve sympathy for their loss here. It seems beyond the demands of justice even leaving out the part about hurting everyone else who cares. So they're _legitimately_ the good guys again. What they did was peanuts compared to this.
I hadn't considered that this might actually break the PS3's back. If that happens, I'm wrong. If it doesn't, I think the public sympathy this got them is more valuable than you do.
No, because the white hats figured out how to put the feature back, and stopped there. Everyone could have stopped there, and it'd all be cool.
The bad part started with GeoHot cracking the second key and Sony taking vengeance. That opened the floodgates. What's happening now is the real underworld criminals, seeing ready-made scapegoats and knowing Sony will perceive an advantage in blaming those, decided on a mutually-advantageous transaction.

Providing value in exchange for value is "Orwellian" in your world?
Even your strawman version is proof against arguments like that.
Well, you get what you pay for.
As our attacks are of high computational complexity, they do not threaten the practical use of AES in any way.
There's reasons monopolization of the market is felony. Giving away free products isn't one of the bad parts.

Besides lalalaing past my (and others') point, you're pretending the rest of the poem doesn't exist and now rewriting its metaphor?
Sorry, I think there's something about what's really in this poem that disturbs you, deeply.
I think the poem makes more sense if you focus on his criteria for choosing rather than this specific choice.

Submitter is dead on the mark. This is some Microsoft mouth, the latrine of marketer ethics, parasiting the value others built into "open" and "OSS".

I see Facebook's PR team is classy as ever.
I'm not saying it is. I'm giving credit where credit is due.

Al Jazeera has been doing a pretty good job covering what Anonymous is for. They have a slightly different take than you, because they actually have a sense of proportion.
