No, GPL3 still doesn't make any requirements on other software than what the GPL2 does. GPL3 just adds extra protection from technical and legal loop-holes that enabled circumventing the GPL2.
But it all is VERY simple: If you don't like the GPL3 then don't use it as a license for software YOU write..
Are you sure that the commercial TV with advertising really has no subscription? Except for shopping channels almost all commercial channels now double dip with a low subscription fee payed by the cable operator, with the addition of advertisement on top. Here in Denmark the few channels that didn't follow that model, has switched to it after "upgrading" to digital broadcasting.
Could the legal suit be about past behavior instead of current behavior? They usually are... The question of course is what the courts could force them to do, when complaint no longer applies. Should that change it from anti-trust to a civil case based on anti-trust laws?
That is pretty stupid. Why would I believe this douchebag instead of using common sense, and basic concepts such as first sale? "Space shifting" was first explored with tape-recorders and was deemed legal.
In fact I would make the argument that only best acting in the original star wars was at most one-dimensional. In the prequels it went down to 0-dimensional, with only the most important character being 2-state with atomic transitions: In love/not in love, evil/not evil.
Or when Saddam was gassing his own people, or when he started a war with Iran that got ~900,000 people killed?
That is easy. We were right behind him, supporting him both economical and militarily.. Not that that was a good thing, but the west definitely intervened.
He didn't say it wasn't about slavery. In fact he stated that slavery was one of the reasons the secession issue came up. The civil war itself started because the US refused to accept secession as legal. If they have accepted secession, then it wouldn't have been a civil war, but a war of conquest and annexation.
If we ever decide to read a few lines in a history book, you may also be interested to know that the civil war was initially going badly for the north and few people in the north supported it. This changed when Lincoln changed the war to be about slavery with his famous proclamation of emancipation, and suddenly the north had much better internal support for the war, but it was an idea invented well after the war started.
But why? Paper checks cost the banks money to process and the banks can't wait to get rid of them (and cut down on personal...). Well, couldn't wait to get rid of them of them, they are practically non-existing and only used when doing business with US partners.
What the heck does Alabama think it's doing sending a delegation to the UN?!?
The same as Australia?
At the risk of being Whooshed: AU = African Union AL = Arabic League
These two while not militarily powerful was considered extremely important to get to endorse the military action, as it could otherwise be seen as return of the colonial powers.
I was more surprised this wasn't available before in the US. Now I can better understand why anybody would ever use PayPal. I never understood what they offered that wasn't already available for free with any major bank.
Just how many things that the rest of the world takes for granted is unavailable in US?
That said. I find it cute that people wants to improve the user-experience when compiling big jobs on their android phones. That picture in itself, is something I highly approve of.
If you know bugger all about Linux, you probably wouldn't even see any difference on a desktop. This patch mainly do wonders for developers doing big parallel builds, and some automatic improvements if you have a classic multi-user server, but all the same improvements were available before this patch too, they just weren't automatic.
They don't actually have to know what is going on. The market has a natural emerging behavior. The CEO can muck around and just settle at the structure that turns them the highest profit, other companies can detect that higher profit and copy them, or hire the CEO to an even higher salary.
It is hard to imagine the CEOs don't have _any_ clue of what is going on, but they could also just be closing their eyes, because keeping them closed is the most profitable, and the managers successfully keeping them closed are the most likely to be promoted.
I do however find it highly unlikely anyone in that kind of position is smart enough to setup the system in the first place, it makes much more sense to be emerging naturally.
Can anyone actually point to a time when commercial software was not merely "licensed" to people?
Yes, the time is now. The licensing thing is sham. You own software the same way you own hardware, it is just that some companies have no scruples of giving incorrect legal advise, trying to convince you that you have only licensed the software. There is just one problem: It is lie, you own it.
Pirated games are much less likely to install a rootkit on your machine than an original games. The rootkits are usual removed from the original game when they are cracked. It you care about viruses or being hacked you should use cracked games.
I wouldn't even mention business. You could make a short-lived real mailing-list if you need to. It is much more useful in private, where everybody doesn't share the same email-system. Try to get a few close friends together, plan a party, or whatever, you send a mail to everybody involved in planing, everybody replies to everybody. This is the only really useful way to do informal private email discussions, of course this is only for less than 10 people, any more and reply-all goes to hell.
Technically they're right. We are not a democracy, we are a republic. Their reasons for doing this may be wrong, but I agree with the overall outcome.
Technically you are wrong Technically you are also right, right after being wrong.
The US is a democracy The US is a also republic The US is a also federation The US is a also union The US is a also basic on a constitution
What is the obsession with thinking only things can only have one characteristic? The summary is right, the only explanation is that democracy is similar to democrat, that atleast makes the reaction an emotional one. Any other explanation would conclude the Republicans in Utah are hopelessly retarded.
I would like actions to have consequences. They never did in DA:O. I would like to be able to roleplay to choose my own destiny, that means changing the end. The fact the end joined all the threads no matter what you did, makes it non-linear game in my mind as none of the non-linear choices had any consequences. All you ended up doing was selecting how the last movie was cut.
It would only get thrown out if you show up with a good local lawyer in whatever part of the world they decide to sue you in, if you dont you might lose by default.
You mean like DA:O? For a game that called itself non-linear, it was surprisingly linear.
I am not sure what to make of RPGs anymore. I guess, they can all go to hell, and maybe the sandbox games will move in from a different direction and finally make a classic non-linear computer RPG again.

Your argument contradicts reality.

Maybe he was answering why it isn't default on those services? It would make sense since that is what the discussion is about.
That is easy. We were right behind him, supporting him both economical and militarily.. Not that that was a good thing, but the west definitely intervened.
There seems to be one difference more... Something important.. Can't remember what..
Might it have something to do with an popular revolt against them?

Well, more: Who isn't intentionally crippling apps to be slower than the approved native browser.

Yes, but that's because everybody on 4chan is a 16 year old girl
