Read The Fucking Comment: that Fucking information is not "in the first few Fucking paragraphs" of the Fucking article, you Fucking zealot. If you're too Fucking dumb to recognise a Fucking question that's designed to Fucking help people get Fucking inducted into your Fucking cult then I'm guessing that you're too Fucking poor to afford in iFuck and must have Fucking robbed it from some latte-Fucking weedy looking Fuckwad.
Indeed - Microsoft were (eventually) fully in compliance with their GPLv2 "freedoms". They squatted down and strained and squeezed out a steaming dump of their actual source. There is no - zero - onus on them to make that source fit in with the Linux kernel zeitgeist, only to provide what was used to build their binary, everything that was used to build their binary, and only what was used to build their binary.
Their "freedoms" ends with bundling source with the binary or making it available to "any third party", not to massage it until it fits the whims of any particular Linus-kernel Nazi. And thus ends the thread.
What's "juvenile" is Microsoft's utterly facile claim that they had been "working towards" releasing the source - which they were required to do immediately by their acceptance of the GPLv2 freedoms - for two months before Greg got in touch with them to ask "Where the source at, bitches?"
So, you're saying that if we all live in log cabins and drink from the same hole in the ground that we're crapping in, then there's no problem with relying on solar?
Heck, why not just live in caves and burn our own dung, like the Goddamn Belgians.
"Free" energy? Tell me, oh wise one, what is the payback time on unsubsidised renewable generation?
Hydro, geothermal and wave, fine. Wind and solar? You still have to keep fossil and nuclear plants running 24/7, or eat the brownouts. Power generation figures for wind and solar are bullshit - show me the figures for reductions in fossil and nuclear generation in areas where wind and solar are "contributing" to the load.
Washington may be an open carry State, but are fully automatic firearms legal there? Are weapons with a caliber larger than.50 legal? Google before answering, and look at the size of the 'weapon' in question.
Under Washington law, it is an offence to open-carry with the intent to cause alarm. A bystander was alarmed enough to dial 911. It's up to an officer to determine whether that alarm was intentional.
So the police investigated, determined that no crime had been committed, and left some sensible advice. Advice, not orders. Seems about right to me.
Next time you hear about some scruffy looking guy dragging a massive gun down the street, and you choose to move towards that person, then you get to armchair quarterback police response to firearms calls. M'kay?
200 / 20 / 2 = 5. If you can't ride 5 miles on a bike at Segway speeds without getting sweaty balls, then you're seriously unfit, and you should get a bike. Alternatively, remain that unfit and die early. That'll reduce your carbon footprint pretty sharpish.
If I were inclined to steal an election, I'd skip the difficult, expensive business of owning the voting process, and simply bribe the guy who declares the result to say that I won.
Let me guess: YANAL, but you play one on Slashdot?
The definition of cowardice is screaming "Let's you and him fight". If you want to talk the talk, how about you create a "similar but not actionable" Google rival, rather than mouthing off about how it's safe for anyone else to do so?

Mad love, Fucknut!
The usual way: anything that I know how to use is obviously far superior to everything that you know how to use.
Oh, just call him a Nazi and be done with it.

It's modded insightful because it is insightful.

And that is why I only trust Nigerians to handle my financial affairs.
To prove he lied to immigration, you first have to prove that he actually did $bad_thing.
Security Theatre has found its target audience, I see.
Perhaps ignorance is contagious?
Aaargh, it's all over my face!

You know who else didn't believe in magnetic monopoles? Hitler, that's who.
I'm glad you provided the episode number, because the description didn't narrow it down much.
What does it do, scream "Nooooooooo!" and throw itself underneath the hard drive in slow motion?
Now we just need to trust you.

Just saying.

This, right here? What you just wrote? This is why intelligence no longer propagates itself.
The women in Antarctica all have beards. Also, most of them are men. You may be thinking of penguins.
Rich men are statistically rare. It's easier to just use abusive jerks with Camaros.
