The "any later version" clause was put in to make it easier for large projects to do license upgrades when it is hard or impossible to get in touch with all of the diverse authors. It is somewhat ironic that the project that would have benefited the most from this feature, the Linux kernel, was licensed with that clause removed.
How does that clause help at all with this? You'd still have to change the license of the kernel from "v2 or any later version" to "v3 or any later version", requiring the consent of all authors, to prevent TiVo from just using the kernel under v2.
Personally, I find the "any later version" clause the weirdest thing about the whole GPL. It's not about distrusting the FSF, it's about common sense. I don't sign blank checks, I don't sign contracts that can be changed at will by the other party, why should a software license be different?
I agree with GPL v2. I'm not sure yet about v3. Who can predict what v4, 5 or 6 might look like? With that clause, I'd have no choice but to agree with it.
Actually, it shows that some things we, humans, perceive as an entity (the pattern of light and shadow), are not actually physical objects, and thus are not governed by the same laws as physical objects (such as v The same goes for group velocity.
Let me get this straight: specifically giving an exemption to acts for the protection of endangered species, so a minority can continue performing their religious rituals, qualifies as persecution these days?

How do you know previous climate fluctuations were without, as you put it, "zomg serious consequences" for the species living at the time?

Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons!
Not on it's own. Combined with other evidence, it might show intent.
As a professional porn star, I can attest that most porn site webmasters are as dishonest as it gets.

I want what you're smoking.
Sure, he's a jackass for expecting "Plain Old Text" to mean "plain text, without markup"
I know a lot of atheists that disagree on point 2, and some that disagree on 1 and/or 3
Perhaps one website by one organization does not represent all, or even a significant number of, atheists?
Perhaps he meant the size of their versioning repository, including every bit of history?
Still sounds big though.
Perhaps these people dislike the Chinese government, as opposed to the Chinese people. Tank Man is part of the latter, but definitly not the former.

That doesn't work in a zero-G environment. Gyroscopes do.
