They don't work in practice but that doesn't make them evil.
Let's start with the fact that nobody really tried them in practice.
Political parties that call themselves "communists" or "socialists" today are, in fact, pursuing the same goal as every other political party in existence: power and money.
I'd say that the fact that there is life on Mars, the planet closest to Earth, will give +100 points to the theory of extraterrestrial Earth life origin.
2- MS, Abble and others will get more and more defensive patents..
Personally, I hope that some day this will lead to MS, Apple and other folks bribing someone in the govt. so they actually do something about the issue of stupid software patents. Or patents in general, for that matter.
In PHP it actually comes with the retardedness of the standard libraries, which encourage you to write crappy code.
In C/C++ I'd say the crappy type system is to blame. You spend more time fighting it than actually designing code.
Haskell has an excellent type system and libraries, but too hooked up on pureness and functionality, to my taste. This is probably why I fell in love with Scala.
Oh, come on! Those are the easiest ones to find in the whole universe! I suspect that even the aliens, when they finally land, will already have a dozen or two.
To me the problem is the Wikipedia rule of public use,' says Jerry Avenaim, a celebrity photographer. 'If they truly wanted to elevate the image on the site, they should allow photographers to maintain the copyright.'
Apparently they care more about freedom than having the highest quality images available.
This is the good thing. I don't come to Wikipedia to see HQ images. I come for free information I can immediately use: quote or contribute. There are plenty of other sites, where you can find images.
Actually, I, as a person who never played MMO, find it quite interesting to know, how much of the game is ruled by the designers and how much by the people playing.
Do you actually have to accept some customs and rules set by the players to join?
Then just don't publish it on the internet at all! Or, if you don't want people to pass around your books without paying you, then don't publish at all. Keep it under your pillow, this is the only way to be sure.
Well, I know nothing about US copyright laws, since I'm not a lawyer and not US citizen.
I only say what I have seen in search results.
I searched for a recent movie with "filetype:torrent" modifier. No results showed up and there was a message at the bottom of the page saying "Some search results were removed as a response to some complaint, US DMCA blah-blah blah" and a link to the complaint
I'd post the link to search results here, but the whole page is in Russian, so there is really no use. The same message does not show up when searching with another locale.
The funny thing about my slashdot username is that I had no idea what it means back when I was choosing it -- I'm not a native English speaker. It was just a name of some song of some band I liked, and it sounded kind of cool, or so I thought:)
My English skills improved since then and now I don't like it very much, but karma and stuff...:)

The fear of socialism in the states confuses me, it isn't complicated and it is already partially implemented.
It's a fear of losing freedom and having individuality subordinated by the state.
You have a very perverted idea about what socialism really is.
. Google allows almost all their workforce to pursue pet projects 1 day out of 5.
Where did you get this nonsense from?
None of the people I personally know, who work for Google is allowed to do this.
I'd say that the fact that there is life on Mars, the planet closest to Earth, will give +100 points to the theory of extraterrestrial Earth life origin.
And no, I don't know what the name is for a language that catches spelling errors.
Freud?
Script kiddies use emacs these days? What year do you live in?
The GP's argument that it CAN be done without counting is still valid, as he provided himself as a counter-example.
For 78 minutes?

Yeah, I think more people should leave their bodies to necrophiliacs! I mean, let those poor souls have their piece of fun!
Try to get some sleep than check again.

Me too. I think the phrase "I'm proud to say I'm sorry" is kind of weird.
In speeches like this you need to be just sorry, not proud. This is not about Mr. Brown, after all.
Even more shock: seems they have like 2-3 news per week to report! Now, THAT is creativity!
Oh, come on! Those are the easiest ones to find in the whole universe! I suspect that even the aliens, when they finally land, will already have a dozen or two.
From the fact that you've been modded as funny, you can conclude, that you'll have to wait for a long, long time.

What will movies turn into? Will there be a resurgence of live performances?
Well, since the most expensive movies are not worth watching outside of a *good* movie theater, I'd say the trend is clearly there.
Another problem with music, though, is that in terms of quality of the music itself, live performances are much worse than recorded music.
This is very sad...
Since Ian Murdock joined the project, I really hoped OpenSolaris would be the "next Ubuntu", but with another kernel.

Google removes items from index (yes, torrents too) if they point to copyrighted material.
Well, since you pointed that out...
