The software side of the project may be open source. The drivers, system software, etc. That would make it fair to describe a project as open source.
Sure, the software side, yeah, but this is called the Open Source Scan Converter, not the Open Source Scan Converter Software, or the Open Source Scan Converter Firmware. The question was specifically about hardware projects. If you're billing yourself as an open source hardware project, then you have to make the source hardware designs available or else it's just not true.
Now I'm not seeing anywhere where the OSSC guys have billed the hardware as open source, there's no announcement, no web site explaining their goals and vision, just some guy who made a board and is selling kits and giving away the firmware, so I'm not convinced it really applies here. That said, if you are touting yourself as an open source hardware project, and the information on how to build the hardware isn't open, then you're just lying to everyone.
That said, no, open source hardware projects have no obligation to support anybody, let alone clone makers, but it's not open source if the source isn't open. Meaning they shouldn't actively block clone makers.
Sure, you can see what you've used, but you have no idea what you will use.
If you had 100MB of data, how would you know how much of that it'll take to go to a random web page? How do you know that random web page won't just start feeding you the text to all the literary works ever created, over and over again?
How about one day the administrators of a website you frequent decide to put large streaming videos on their page one day. Now you just used up a bunch of your monthly allowance.
It's impossible for users to know how much data they will use.
Nobody needs unlimited data, because nobody can use infinite amounts of data, they just need as much data as they use.
The problem is, nobody knows how much they need, because it's impossible for the average person to gauge data usage.
How much data does going to facebooks website take? Will I get the regular version of the site or the mobile version? Do I have a lot of pictures posted on my wall this time or not? How many times will I go there? Does my provider count facebook data against me or is it included in some fucked up social media exclusion promo? That's just one website. Throw in youtube, netflix, music streaming, mobile gaming, how is anyone supposed to fucking know what they need?
That's why everyone wants unlimited plans, so they don't have to worry about it.
Who uses any other search engine than Google? What happens when Google/Alphabet decide they want to lock shit down, censor search results, or even stop providing search services because it becomes unprofitable? Then what? Hell, the first two are already happening in some countries.
We should have competition in the search space, unfortunately bing is near useless, and there is really nothing else.
is when you do not have a record light on your webcam, otherwise when the webcam is on, the record light is on, and it's a hardware mechanism and it is impossible to get video without the record light coming on.
The phone ships with an adaptor that gives you back the audio jack you could copy from if you wished... no more DRM than before.
Except apps/the phone could refuse to play back certain "rights managed" media if it detects the adapter, or even worse, a non-beats/apple manufactured headset is connected.

Social = Community Media = The main means of mass communication (typically TV, radio, newspapers, etc)
So it is news for your community. While slashdots blog posts may qualify, forums don't. I don't post here to give news to my community, I post here to comment about the news posted, and my posts do are not mass communications, since only a subset of the sites users use the forums.
A lot of people deride unions, but unless we have them, corporations pull this type of shit again and again. The government is either apathetic or complicit, which means the only protection for this type of shit is unions.
The only thing that grants VMware the permission to use and redistribute linux code is the GPL, if they don't agree to it, then they can't use any of it.
Slashdot Mirror
Except the old kit is out of warranty and will break and/or die, then what? You still need some form of IT worker to maintain the gear.
If it didn't cost so bloody much to live there, maybe people would show up.

No they were not. The engines were not fired. It happened during fueling.
Good.

And what about Apps then?

Social Media should be pretty self explanatory.
Social = Community
Media = The main means of mass communication (typically TV, radio, newspapers, etc)
So it is news for your community. While slashdots blog posts may qualify, forums don't. I don't post here to give news to my community, I post here to comment about the news posted, and my posts do are not mass communications, since only a subset of the sites users use the forums.
Do you not realize, for some reason, that Slashdot is a social media site?
That's a pretty broad definition of social media you have, didn't know it included forums now.
... unless you can, and do, enforce it.
Your digital ghetto is self imposed.
This is like taxing car owners to subsidize stage coaches.

Wrong. The fact that the pool turned green was everywhere, the official explanation as to why wasn't.

ledow makes an idiot-proof statement.

Why would anyone buy a hololens for just augmented reality for $3000, when you can get a full blown VR setup with the HTC Vive for $800?
