I don't see a problem with this. When the inevitable civilization crash occurs, those that carry these pregnancy-inhibiting genetic variations will simply be removed from the gene pool in a single generation. Problem solved. And producing people who are less likely to produce more people isn't a problem anyway as we aren't facing a population shortage.
- when you spawn a new tab, the new tab appears at the extreme right, instead of displacing the existing tabs by spawning to the immediate right of your current tab
I guess it's an option in about::config, because Firefox on my home machine behaves like your Seamonkey, but on my work machine Firefox inserts the new tab.
Yeah, we should get rid of all those trees too because they aren't 100% efficient. They convert CO2 and water into hydrocarbons, but they need sunlight to do it. There's no point in pursuing this technology to the point where it might be able to use renewables either since if trees can't do it with 100% eficiency then we have no hope.
That Pakistani government minister was on the radio a couple of weeks back, saying that his putting a price on the video creator's head was fighting terrorism. "Without people like that, there would be no terrorism" was his basic point. So, the solution to terrorism is to slaughter all the people that terrorists don't like, then there will be no need for terrorism. Makes sense to me.
I don't think that HFT is about making ridiculous offers that will never be met. I think the trick is that if you want to buy shares that are trading at around $100, then you flood the market with thousands of bids for small numbers at $99 and if there are enough takers then you cancel the bids and then flood the market with thousands of bids at $98, then $97, until the number of takers on the offers drops off and that's the price that you stick at. What's unfair about that? It sounds quite reasonable on the surface - you shop around and get the best price you can. It's when having millions of dollars worth of the best hardware and fibre gives the big players an overwhelming advantage and "shopping around" with an algorithm breaks the system that it becomes a problem. Sometimes "sustainable" should trump "fair".
If you're selling a house for $100,000 and you get an offer for $99,999 and in an identical letter you get an offer for $99,998 and another for $99,997 then what would you do? Maybe you would phone up the $99,999 buyer, and if you get a "sorry I'm not interested any more", and you get the same from the $99,998 buyer whose voice is suspiciously similar, how many of these identical offers would you reply to before realising that you are being manipulated?
I think it's unreasonable for an email sender to have to research who handles the email for every domain in the world that they send email to, and keep up to date on which of the millions of email hosting companies engage in email scanning for advertising purposes. So no, I don't think the sender has to take responsibility for who runs the mail servers that his recipients use.
Let me get this straight. They are saying that an OEM's actions might mean that the GPL could be used to force Canonical to release something?
I release some Code A under the GPL (which works fine on its own) and some Code B under a proprietary licence, and a third party links A to B and releases it, that in no way compels me to release my proprietary code B! This is an analogy, not an attempt to explain exactly what is happening, but I think it's apt.
Would you be interested in a BBC/Acorn-compatible BASIC interpreter? There is a non-distributable source module for the floating point operations, as that was licenced from Zortech.
Copyright applies even when something has not been distributed, and it expires (or, actually, doesn't because it keeps getting extended) just the same.
This is the same problem that I had when I wanted to release a BASIC interpreter that my dad and I wrote when I was a teenager. We licenced the floating point code from Zortech, and they wanted $10,000 for a licence to distribute that source. I could have just deleted that file and distributed it incomplete in the hope that someone would take up the challenge of filling in the hole, but it seemed unlikely. It was a pretty good BASIC interpreter (based on the Acorn BBC BASIC dialect), but those things are kind of out of fashion nowadays, and it was all DOS and no Windows functionality at all.
This isn't a classic Streisand Effect case - it looks like a deliberate publicity stunt by FunkyJunk which has worked in the sense that I have no heard of them, although I am not inclined to visit their site since they are clearly such jerks. Others who have heard of them through this may not have the same sensibilities as me and might enjoy visiting their site.
You're quoting Nigel Farage? Don't expect to be taken seriously. On the other hand, this may be one of the times that the stopped clock happens to be right...
Clearly this is a point on which the US and EU courts disagree completely. The Ninth Circuit ruled against the first sale doctrine, whereas the EU court have ruled in favour of it.

And an MB is always an MB, right? Is that 1,000,000 or 1,048,576? Are your megs 4.9% bigger than mine, and your gigs 7.4% bigger?

The new thing is that you can do it in a factory instead of in a field.

You have to work within a system in order to change it. Unless you want to take up arrms against it of course.

Yeah, but where are we going to find a virgin around h... oh, wait.
Quite. Sack the stupid dick-heads that behave that way.
"That shit causes cancer"
No, cancer causes cell phones. Duh!
I'm pretty sure the US government has more money to spend than Luxembourg does.
I've only ever heard the term "fly-over state" in American movies.
This is all your fault. I voted for Kodos.
Not in my analogy - but I realise now that my analogy is not applicable here becasue Canonical don't own the copyright to GRUB.

Not dumb or lazy, willing to support the software financially.
No, this is
