Accused by SCO, What are we to do? Darl is on another planet, Y'all know the truth.
Claims our code was once his own. Copied? Never!! brouh!! Thinks we don't know our stuff, to write our own?
Never copied. Freako, now blaming IBM. You fed up listening? Claims: "This code is my own", ah, Fuck that bullshit, Rather write my own. Are we standing on the verge of another suit?
Super trojan, Novarg the great. And Darl McBride, How much more can you take?
I mostly realised that you were not refering specifically to religious differences here. My comment was mostly a troll (and a rather OT), though it has thrown up some 'interesting' responses.
On your last point, I would say that terrorism is carried out because of personal/political differences, rather than religious differences. Most mainstream/deeply religious people tend to have a lot of acceptance for other religions. Many attrocities that have taken place in the name of religion (eg. witchhunts, inquisitions) could just as easily be described as political (albeit, the people commiting them were "religious leaders").
I hope by "god" you're referring to capitalism here.
If you're referring to Christianity vs Islam, you're severely mistaken - they both worship the god of Abraham - ie. What Christians refer to as God (note the capitalisation).
I know I always get a real buzz when I start with a fresh clean slate.
However, I know that often that biggest gain will arise from the difficult mental process of working with what I already have. It is hard because it forces me to question myself.
Actually, copyright did not begin to form as an idea until the 17th - 18th Centuries.
The huge cost of reproducing a book meant that it was not a problem until the movable type printing press became popular at the end of the fifteenth century - which ultimately put the monks out of that kind of business.
Interestingly, the way that reproduction happened in the middle ages (and before) was was very similar the way that people copy music now. Essentially, a monastery would swap works with it's "friends" (other monasteries, generally).
I finished my software eng. course last May. As the course went on I would hate it more and more just like you described. But you've got to realise that it's not the real world. Doing a course in CS is nothing like really doing CS.
I'm now enjoying working on my own small projects again, and I've a promising job possibly coming up. I'd suggest hanging on until the end of the course, and getting at least one job in the field before giving up on it completely.

A gracious answer. I retract the word severely.

Actually, I believe the NASA discovery was at the North pole, though I agree that this news is not very groundbreaking.
BTW, does anyone know how they identified the North/South poles? Was a compass sent there in a previous mission, or was it an arbitrary decision?
Scientists confirm that what they've found is mostly water. They were quite surprised to see that the water was held in bags. Quite ugly bags.
They continue to speculate what the discovery might mean, and whether life may be possible in this environment...
The BBC is reporting it here.
I'm sympathetic to the idea behind this article, but does it deserve a place on /.? There's absolutely no empirical data...
Since when has empirical data had anything to do with /.?

Clearly Caridi didn't leak it. He must have thought the film was crap and threw it out, and then someone 'came across' it, and copied it...
Erm, last time I was at the beach, it looked like the moon still had a gravitational pull!

FBI wants to tap public communications...

Is this meant to be a news story?

The only danger I see with this is the possibility that people will pass off the tricky problems as belonging to someone else.
Frederick Brooks wrote about this in "The Mythical Man Month", which is still a very relevant and occasionally funny read.
