home schooling is the lack of interactivity with other people.
I think you would be surprised by how much time home-schoolers spend outside their school dealing with people who aren't the same age as themselves. Don't believe the myths; do your own research.

You're kidding, right? School is where you learn to sit down, shut up, soak up information and regurgitate it on a test. In what way is that real, big, or worldly? Homeschooled kids, on the other hand, aren't stuck in a building, and learn to deal with people of all ages, not one adult and 20-30 kids just as ignorant as themselves.
It might be helpful if you were to actually provide some evidence to refute what I said, instead of just abuse.
Do you somehow not deserve the abuse? If you were so well informed about trademark law in your Pixar days, why did you do silly and uninformed things with the stillborn "Open Source" trademark during the same period? That seems like evidence that you're inventing your expertise from whole cloth.
Your history is on the web for us to look up should you attempt to revise it again.
Say this in a bright and chipper voice: "Oh! Do you have a chair that I could use to wait here?" Make it clear that you have reason to be here, and that his only purpose in life is to make it easier for you to wait, not less easy.
There is no way that 911 call information should be available at anything approaching real-time data.
Why? Because of some undifferentiated and vague idea of some bad outcome? What about a worse outcome because somebody didn't know about a fire at their house? What problem are you trying to solve with secrecy?
It's supposed to suck, because Debian would rather be able to call it Firefox. They figure, in a passive / aggressive way, that if they call the Firefox browser by a sucky name, that will bring Mozilla to its knees, begging Debian to call it Firefox again.
BTW, having to wait two minutes between comments should only be for stupid people who can't think and type fast.
Larger market share means that more people enjoy the benefits of freedom. If you want the world's freedom to increase, and you can do that by slightly decreasing the freedom of your users, then it's a reasonable trade-off. If you only care about your own freedom, then, yes, don't ever compromise.
There are two issues here. First is that Debian ships a modified Firefox, which of course isn't really Firefox, but they thought it was okay to call it Firefox.
Second is that, were they to have been shipping Firefox, the Firefox trademark graphic (which comes in a file) is also copyrighted, and not licensed for modification. Debian says that trademarks must be modifiable because they might be usable in a different trademark field. This problem is solvable, as you say, either by putting it in non-free, or by getting Mozilla to put a copyright license on the graphic which allows people to use it in unrelated trademark fields.
I hear this repeated a lot. It's not true. If you allow your mark to become generic you can lose your right to it. Firefox is not at risk of this happening. Google is. You can be selective about enforcement as long as you don't allow the mark to become generic.
I have never EVER heard a lawyer say this. On the other hand, I have heard lawyers say that to hold a trademark, you must control the quality of the goods described. But what do lawyers know about the subject?? After all, this is the same Bruce Perens who thought that you could transfer a trademark independent of the goods it describes. Yes, yes, I know, we all get smarter as we get older; on the other hand your track record of understanding of trademark law is not exemplary.
Spamhaus ONLY lists persistent sources of spam. Spamcop lists transient sources of spam, which can mean as little as one piece of spam depending on how much email they think you usually send. And that can mean that anybody can be listed on bl.spamcop.net.
I think that Ray saw that Novell's future was in Linux. That's why Canopy put money into Caldera. Unfortunately, the Novell culture couldn't make use of Linux, so Caldera got cut off and had to sink or swim on its own.
I'm sorry to hear of Ray's death at age 82, but y'know, with an average lifespam of 80, that means that some poor schmuck is condemned to die at age 78.
I'm confused. Is he writing about GNU or is he writing about Linux? Or is he writing about them both at the same time in the same book. I don't see how the term "GNU/Linux" could explain or clarify or lend ANY kind of understanding.
Stationary pollution treatment equipment is much more effective than mobile pollution treatment equipment. Electric cars damage the environment less than gasoline cars.

No. The problem is that you have to have a flat surface on which to use it, and by implication, your device has to be resting on that surface as well, because you sure aren't holding it if you're typing with both hands.
There's this curve of pollution versus wealth which goes up until you reach about $10K/year, at which point it starts to go down. So the real thing these people want is to keep the third world dirt-poor. Having a pristine environment is more important to them than human welfare. I want to get people past the $10K/year point as quickly as possible.

The public schools call socialization "talking in class" and they discourage it.
I'm pretty encouraged by the mocking responses, however. Most people can see it for the crap it is.
You might be surprised by how many teachers homeschool their kids .... or you might not.
Homeschool .... it's the only way to get an education these days.

Oh, well of course I meant the median average. Wasn't that obvious to the most casual observer??
Because we're not running out of landfill space, nor the materials that go into automobiles and appliances?
Because recycling, when it's stupid, is STILL STUPID.
Because forcing stupid recycling on people is, well, stupid?

Larger market share means that more people enjoy the benefits of freedom. If you want the world's freedom to increase, and you can do that by slightly decreasing the freedom of your users, then it's a reasonable trade-off. If you only care about your own freedom, then, yes, don't ever compromise.

You mean like spamhaus.org.uk ?
