Red Hat is small potatoes compared to the others you named. All the others make more profit than redhat makes in revenue. And in case you haven't noticed, IBM has partnered with Apple (you know, the guys who use FreeBSD code instead of linux because of the GPL). And Oracle has partnered with Microsoft on Azure.
And of course, Apple makes more profit than all the ones you named combined... and uses FreeBSD code for Darwin, not linux.
Wow - you really don't understand numbers. 50% more means that Group B is 50% larger than group A. The proper subtraction in your example would be that if you subtracted Group A's size from Group B's size, you would be left with something 50% the size of Group A.
Let's make it REALLY simple. You have two pennies. I have three. I have 50% more pennies than you do. You have 33-1/3% (1/3) less than I do.
Your perversion of "50% more" does nothing to clarify the statistic and only serves to emphasize your position through disingenuous use of ambiguous language to sound impressive. If you meant to say that for every 2 men who graduate that 3 women graduate you should have said as much.
The language is FAR from ambiguous. 50% more women graduating means that for ever 2 men who graduate, 3 women graduate. That's what 50% more means to most people.
Your specific choice of "university graduate" also leads me to believe that the ratio of males who graduate from colleges are more evenly balanced.
Keep believing that. Women are 25% more likely to have graduated from colleges, which means that for every 4 men who graduate, 5 women graduate. There is no sign that this trend will reverse itself. This trend started around 1995, when they were almost equal in number. Some places have more than twice as many women than men, due to two factors - decrease in the number of men enrolling, and a huge increase in the number of women enrolling.
Maybe you need to ask yourself what this means for the future? Is what I originally said about the balance of power shifting true or not? Will this eventually lead to more women at the top than men? How will men react to their wives making more than them being the new normal? How will men react when the traditional male jobs disappear and they have no real alternative because women are out-competing them in other fields?
The patriarchy is dying. Of course, you're free to continue to deny it, but the trend is clear. Within 20 years, there's going to be a massive shift in the dynamics of male-female relationships, based on power, prospects, and money.
So - you're NOT required to accept Microsoft's license either - just don't use the product. And yet, once you accept the license, you are in a contractual relationship with Microsoft, duh!
Moglan's argument is simple hand-waving. And the freetards have bought into it because of confirmation bias and wishful thinking.
Saying "You're not required to accept the GPL"? Stupid is as stupid does. But that's okay - keep pushing that line. That's one of the reasons there will nevr be a "Year of the linux desktop." FreeBSD has been the #2 desktop OS for quite some time, since it underpins OSX. The overly restrictive licensing of the GPL is the reason why.
And how long do you think it would take Google to switch from linux to freebsd as the host OS for Android if people made a fuss about some manufacturers making changes to the kernel without releasing them? The networking code is just 1 extra #include, and a couple of #defines, and the same binary then runs under both.
So much for your reading comprehension. The FBI backtracked on their "we want to keep the system voluntary" statement. Because that process is f*cked up.
Lynch said last week that her department did not want to dictate to every local department how they should handle the minutiae of record-keeping. She subsequently clarified her statements, insisting that information on police shootings was “vital”.
She had stepped in a huge pile of dogsh*t and realized it.
main issue is wtf are we putting javascript into more and more things connected to the Internet for? We already have tons of examples of "what could go wrong."
James Comey tells crime summit that ‘it’s ridiculous’ Guardian and Washington Post have more information on civilians’ deaths at hands of US police than FBI
and
Federal officials currently rely on local police to report shootings involving officers, but reporting is voluntary and typically occurs months after the fact. The FBI counted 444 “justifiable homicides” by law-enforcement officers in 2014, a 5.7% decrease from the 471 counted the year before.
But both the accuracy of the figures and any trends emerging from them have been called into question because of the voluntary reporting system. The justice department and the FBI have resisted calls for a mandatory reporting system, calling for more data on fatal police shootings but keeping the voluntary reporting system.
Lynch said last week that her department did not want to dictate to every local department how they should handle the minutiae of record-keeping. She subsequently clarified her statements, insisting that information on police shootings was “vital”.
Everyone is saying that the FBI figures arec rap and that it's due to a systemic process problem.
I'll say it again - even the FBI says their data isn't as good. Simple way to fix this - if you're so sure that they are wrong, go prove it by correcting them. Let us know how that works out.
So what? How do any of these fringe idiots affect anything? Nobody even knows they exist. I'm more concerned with the bad treatment the Human Rights Campaign has been giving us, both publicly and privately, for years because if you're not a white gay male, you're nothing, while pretending to the politicians, funders, and general public that they somehow speak for anyone who isn't a member of the gay white male mafia.
Quotes from the audit:
"Staff at the Human Rights Campaign last fall described the working environment at the nation’s largest LGBT rights group as “judgmental,” “exclusionary,” “sexist,” and “homogenous
"“Leadership culture is experienced as homogenous — gay, white, male,” the report stated. “Exclusion was broad-based and hit all identity groups within HRC. A judgmental working environment, particularly concerning women and feminine-identified individuals, was highlighted in survey responses.”
"Among those issues were findings that “[t]rans* people don’t feel safe to come out at HRC,” noting that some staff “work for years at HRC before coming out as trans.”
"The report also notes that “trans* people are frequently misgendered with the wrong pronouns, after repeated corrections.”
"Younger staff in particular are exploited and not rewarded financially.” Another said, “Straight women and lesbians get sexist treatment from gay men at HRC.”
“Seven out of 31 men who have been promoted have been on staff less than two years (some promoted two times). No women under two years have been promoted.”
There's more. To hell with them. We don't need them, never have needed them, and they're doing more harm than good. Let them go sit on a bathroom plunger instead of screwing everyone else over.
Because any license, once accepted, is a contract, except for those portions that do not conform to public policy or law. It has NOTHING to do with Eban Moglan's miserable, US-centric interpretation of the law.
The GPL is no different from any other license - nobody is obliged to accept any license in the world. And Moglen has drunk Stallman's kool-aid. Same as the rest of the freetards:-)
Let me dumb it down for you (since you're obviously a man and can't do math) - for every 40 men graduating, 60 women are graduating. For every 4 men, that's 6 women. For every 2 men, that's 3 women. 3 is 50% larger than 2. Now you know why more women are getting into professions than men - men can't do math. (But we already knew that - the original "computers" were women).
Check out Planned Parenthood - some of them also offer transgender hormone services. Those that don't yet do so can probably refer you to someone who can help.:-)
The big similarity that you don't seem to get is that most people who say they follow a religion, if you scratch a little bit deeper, don't really follow whatever their holy book say to do. Actions speak louder than words.
And, as I've already pointed out, recent Christian missionaries have backed killing gays. Same as ISIS. Again, actions speak louder than words.
And those who don't convert? Read the next few chapters for all the pain and suffering they're in for as they go to their eternal punishment, all sanctified by Jesus, the lamb of God.

If your game includes any written element, such as instructions or directions, the Copyright Office recommends that you apply to register it as a literary work. Doing so will allow you to register all copyrightable parts of the game, including any pictorial elements. When the copyrightable elements of the game consist predominantly of pictorial matter, you should apply to register it as a work of the visual arts.
So, even using the exact same rules (described slightly differently but with the same result, same as there are plenty of different ways to describe, say, the game of chess), and the same system of play, and even the same NAME, are not protected. Make your own Risk clone with different artwork and you can tell Hasbro to stuff it.
I haven't seen ANY proof that you have any knowledge of statistics. Prove it! In other words, put up or shut up (not that it would prove anything - it's a logical fallacy - specifically the argument from authority. The same one that for centuries had people believing that men had more teeth than women because Aristotle said so).

Seriously, this is SUCH a niche product. Everyone uses a VI clone because it's guaranteed to be present on *nux systems.
