    OpenEmbedded has BitBake recipes for MythTV, so that shouldn't be a problem... but you'll have a hard time getting WiFi, BlueTooth, GPS, and a HD all at once... You have at most two CompactFlash slots (C3100) and one USB or serial port. Unless you can find a CompactFlash/PCMCIA WiFi+BlueTooth/GPS combo or such, all 4 are impossible..

    The "motto" of Google is "don't be evil". This is against their motto, which is actually in writing...

    Not that I disagree with you in general, but... software doesn't need to be verifyably secure to be secure in fact...

    There is no ambiguity in English. "Free as in beer" is not what "free" means-- the word you want there is "gratis".

    Abortion is unlawful, as it is against natural law without a legitimate exception (such as the death penalty would be).

    RvW is nonsense in objective fact, and I stated reasons why. Facts are not my opinion, nor anyone else's.

    1. "copied games" is quite correct; they are generally locked out regardless of legality
    2. "A, including B" means that B falls into category A. Nothing else. It doesn't have any effect on the prior part dealing with the verb.
    3. Last I checked, things can reach from something to another...

    So let China ban Google. Their loss. No government has the authority to deny people their rights. All humans have the same rights, and only God can take it away.

    The GPL has always been the General Public License. Hence why it's not repetitious to talk about the GNU GPL.

    Calling it murder of a child is objective fact. Roe vs Wade was a nonsense case and resulting in a faulty ruling. Not only are courts wrong to make laws at all, let alone unjust ones, but there was no pregnancy in the first place. The issue did not even exist. Right and wrong are objective and decided by God. You have no right to sin or impose your denial of reality on others.

    Or, rather, how about using the adjective free which correctly describes the licensing terms? Technically, "open" would simply mean you can see the code-- not necessarily that you can modify or share it.

    Also, note that OSS is the Open Sound System.

  11. Re:An API? on VMware Opens Up API to Partners · · Score: 1

    Denying people their natural rights to modify and share information/software does make the software evil. You can make money without resorting to telling others what to do.

    Google is assisting in denying their rights. If the Chinese government was filtering Google requests and results, that wouldn't be Google's fault-- but Google actually doing the filtering is.

    Google is not fulfilling their responsibility to break China's unjust laws.

    Your girlfriend has no right to murder anyone. The even idea that she wants to murder her own children is disgusting. Roe vs Wade is an example of a corrupt government making a wrong decision. Nobody has ever been granted a right to sin. It is a sin whether you admit it is or not.

    Properly firewalled? A firewall shouldn't be necessary at all in normal circumstances.

    You have the ability to sin, not the right to it. Having the right to do something means it is acceptable for you to do it. If you don't want to procreate, then don't do procreative acts. It's not very hard to figure out.

    So anyway, what gives your girlfriend the "right" to murder? Tresspassing? Last I checked, you have to give someone a reasonable chance to get off your property before killing them (remember, you invited them there originally).

    Google's arrangement for business in China is evil.

    "Don't be evil" means just that-- don't be evil. That includes both not deceiving people and not taking part in denying people their rights.

  18. Re:right to privacy on FCC To Require Backdoor Network Access for Feds · · Score: 1

    God gave people the ability to sin, not the right. It may be wrong to judge a person, but we have an obligation to determine God's judgement of actions (that's part of why He made logic) to and to inform people when they are sinning.
    Also, note that the sins of one person harm humankind as a whole. Regardless of whether you want to be, you are still a human and your actions reflect on all other humans. It's not just a sin against God-- it's a sin against all of humanity.

  19. Re:Sex is natural on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    Logic and nature tell us what God designed sex to be. If you don't desire unity, then you shouldn't be doing unitive acts (sex, hugging, etc).
    In particular, a women who hasn't had her first child by 25 is at a higher risk of breast cancer. Love and lust are opposites-- you can't feel both for one person. Your path is not merely unworthy, but fatal.

    There is only one truth, by definition. You can tell yourself 1+2=2 all you want, but it will never be true.

    Innovation is already hampered by copyrights. This change could have a positive effect in that more people will care that their software is open source-- in which case they (or some automated program) can remove the backdoor before compiling.
