It is called fear and consumption. The way to control; be it media or politics (what is the difference?).
You are only allowed to consume. Consume what we tell you, how we tell you, when we tell you. Or else! The world will come to s standstill and judgement day will be upon us. Do as I tell you when I tell you how I tell you.
It is just the start. I am really wondering when the publishers will start to sue the students/graduates for using the learned materials, alleging they are creating unauthorized derivatives.
But I read the claims and they are ludicrous. They basically state if you implement/use math in a specific manner, you are owned by us. And that is besides the obviousness to use floating point instead of integer/fixpoint (actually, integer and fixpoint approximations were created to overcome slow hardware). Once hardware is fast enough, you most often move to the more precise solution; there is nothing inventive about that, but a natural evolution.
But, if you are already uploading the schematic for all to see, why not simply upload the source files next to them and create a little thingy called a link? Why take a detour through a third party?
That is why we export drill files and Gerber files from the PCB design files (not the schematic).
But the purpose is apparently sharing of the schematic. So, you can upload an image for viewing, but also the/source/ for others to use. Why would you need a client side monster webscript?
Why would you want a service that takes the crap out of your browser (it is slow) for something that you can do so easily with a common "export" function? What is wrong with a png image? Or what about a pdf file? At least those would be easy to print. I guess I miss to see the purpose of that web2.0 thingy and prefer plain old formats.
The whole point is to prevent free information flow so that directed information (aka propaganda) can be supplied. Any filter-list that can be scrutinized would fail to allow such use.
He who controls the flow of information controls the world...
No, science is about "testability". You have a hypothesis and you test it. It can be confirmed, rejected or inconclusive.
The problem for the global warming hypothesis is that when all tests confirm it without any possibility of rejection, then we are living in a world that is no longer capable of sustaining us humans as a species on the scale we have now.
All controversy is based on the shortsightedness of mankind. Whether that is good or bad does not matter. When the climate wanders too far off the current balance, then we will go extinct. Maybe that is a good thing. You might though have some reservations whether you want to get to the point where your offspring is doomed...
I'd like to get a ticket for a swim. Even if it is one-way, it should provide good stuff for a blog to fill. I might even have (new) friends on facebook who I can invite for a fishing trip.
Well, one more reason to take away the computers from every stupid person. Boy, that'll be the day of comfort and silence. Can't wait for it to happen.

But 2+2 is 5 for large values of 2...

Recursion is a bitch.

Just make a bot-like-clicker and distribute it. I like it all; even all I dislike; we like, you like, they like, bot like, like like.
When enough bot-like all, the like will be liked like dislike.
Well, if they blow hard enough, they might be able to rock somebody.
The correct sequence for business, politics and everything is of now:

Gotta love the effort that went into providing the proper symbols.
From the TOS...
That basically states: /. can do whatever it likes with whatever you write, whether you like it or not.
In all essence, you lost all copyright control on a post when posting it on /. because you cannot control a "perpetual, irrevocable" license.
The whole paragraph is a basic rubber-stamp boiler-plate formulation that makes a mockery of copyright.
I second that emotion.
You forgot the most important layers:
8) friends
9) money
10) politics
We do know the ??? step: ..for the rich.
1. Buy $100,000+ in lottery tickets
2. Wait for bad statistics to become really bad
3. Profit!

I strongly suggest that they search for certain hydro-carbon compounds. "Drinking" black hole may have to be revised into "Drunk" black hole.

Why do you assume he has a house?
House-arrest for a homeless. That'll be nice. Please stay on the corner of 5th and west st. for the duration of your time to be served.

Yes, the new euphemism of the day: Speculative invoicing, a new and innovative form of blackmail.
it is called Windows Genuine Advantage...
Wasn't it called "Lies; Damn Lies; and Corporate Accounting"?
