The principles under which it operates are very well understood and have been in school textbooks for decades. If you had a supply of weapons-grade fissionable materials then this would not provide you with any information on how to build a nuclear weapon than is already available from other sources. In fact, significantly more efficient designs are also fairly easy to obtain.
More importantly, competent physicists and engineers and duplicate the work. Even if the idea of a polonium-beryllium initiator was not already public knowledge any nuclear physicist assigned the problem of developing a nuclear weapon would think of it quickly. The same goes for all the other basic design ideas. Suppressing this stuff merely delays the other side a bit.
What are worth hiding are the tweaks and improvements that have resulted from tests and supercomputer simulations.

Because, despite your loud protestations and demands for government action, you don't actually care, any more than you actually care about overcrowded airliners with bad service or appalling terms and conditions in ISP and Web service agreements. You just grab whatever is cheapest and/or most convenient and then bitch without changing your behavior.
There was a jury in the original trial court (unless it was a bench trial). However, that jury just found him guilty. The trial court judge disallowed his freedom of speech defense and was upheld on appeal.
Others make no sense. A 2" floppy disk? There never was such a thing. Adjusting the gas mixture on a carburator? I adjust the carburator jets on my gasoline tractors from time to time, but they have nothing I would call a gas mixture adjustment.

That doesn't work because you can't get the observed distribution with baryonic matter.
SCO has received nothing except offer (which is probably contingent on many conditions). They cannot accept it without permission of the bankruptcy court. To read some actual facts go to Groklaw.
Slashdot Mirror
No. Not nearly that simple.
Any allegations from that source do not deserve the attention of responsible media. Or even Slashdot.
Everyone I know plays Nethack!.
I don't think that release has arrived yet.
How could statutory damages ever be insufficient when the copyright owner has the option of proving actual damages?
I didn't say it was good or bad. I said that the headline is wrong.
This is not open source. It's just another "you can play with it but don't you dare do anything real" license.
Let's hope they don't mean that literally, recalling recent events involving Pakistan.

That's a library.

That isn't.

No. The jury found him guilty. The judge disallowed his First Amendment defense. Constitutionality is not a jury question.
At about 1G acceleration you can reach any point in the universe in a few years, your time. This is a consequence of relativity.
No. It's because your father didn't have a key to the exexcutive loo.

Jet aircraft are very popular.

But they did generate energy through reactions between the dark matter particles. Seems to me that this makes them a variety of star.

The article is garbled (as usual) but none of the stuff discussed involves lasers.
None of SCO's claims in any of their lawsuits involve patents.

SCO has received nothing except offer (which is probably contingent on many conditions). They cannot accept it without permission of the bankruptcy court. To read some actual facts go to Groklaw.
Some one might extort money from you by threatening to set them off.
