They did that already once in Denmark. They took over copyright on Tarzan and then forced a pre-existing character, Gummi-Tarzan, to change names to "Gummi-T"
No, I can't believe it. The other thing that is hard to believe is that after you had already been burned once by that brand that you went back and bought it again. You'd think that some people would learn from their experiences but that is not always the case. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
No because if you don't buy one, they lose the full price of the cost of manufacturing and distributing. If you buy one, even if they are selling at a loss, they get some of that back. You can 'stick it to them' by buying their competition's products.
The problem with this is that many copyright holders are corporations, and it's rather rare that they die.
There's the problem. The copyright section from the U.S. Constitution has been quoted many times in this discussion and on others with emphasis added but here's a new emphasis: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
Most of today's "rights holders" are not the creators. Instead of quibbling over duration of copyright, just make the rights non-transferable. That would really get fought tooth and nail by big media, but it strikes at the heart of the matter.

You can still switch even when your domain is not up for renewal. Purchasing time at another DNS registrar will just add the new time to whatever you already have on the books.
While we're at it, let's have more data about which chemicals are being injected. They will eventually turn up in the water table through Murphy's law.
I would prefer text messages as the basic alert media. With the noted exceptions I always have access to my phone, so I would prefer "text" as a media.
Firefox could make the same warning to Google using the search engine DuckDuckGo instead. That way if they get called on their bluff and have to go through with dropping Google to make their point, they won't be doing immeasurable harm to their users and to the net.
Since 2007, QNX is available under a hybrid license. As a user, you get the source code and can work with it and modify it, just not redistribute it. While not FOSS, it is a big step in the right direction.
It's got a hybrid sort of licensing now. You now get QNX source code with QNX, but it's still proprietary. That's not quite F/OSS as you were looking for but it is a step forward.
Just think, what, forty years ago he designed a programming language in order to port an operating system that would eventually run on everything from PDP-11's through cell phones, so they could play a computer game on (then) new hardware.
It's not just that C is the second most common programming language: Most of the other languages are actually written in C. That includes Perl, Python, and PHP.
The components of the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/Python/PHP) are all implemented in C. Even variants of LAMP, like the BSDs or PostGreSQL are in C. Thinking about it, most of our infrastructure, including routers and switches, are dependent on unix-derivatives and C. Ritchie's legacy spreads to nearly every corner of the network and to most, if not all, portable devices.

I'm not sure of the version you are using but some seem to work under WINE http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=86

Since the bills coming up show only the changes, maybe it is past time to move to a version control system like Bazaar or Subversion.
Sweden had Freedom of the press in 1766 (tryckfrihetsfÃrordning) and a hardcore freedom of information clause actually in the nation's constitution.
Rick Falkvinge of the Swedish Pirate Party has a short writing on it, "Filesharing Approved as an Official Religion in Sweden".

Look up "arms for hostages". The kidnappers were paid to hold on to the hostages until after the election.
There used to be a utility, sgrep, for searching SGML/XML.

That's not getting rid of it. That's just cost shifting. It should be gone, period.
