The GPL doesn't restrict what you do with the code. It only restricts how you license it. It restricts you from using a more restrictive license on derived code, i.e. restricting the freedom of receivers of the derived code. It also restricts you from granting anyone else the permission to add those restrictions.
Wait, you're suggesting that it's normal to treat ads as gospel up to the age of 35? I'd say if you still tread ads as gospel at 20 there's something very wrong.
However that maybe explains the many spam messages saying "as seen on national TV" -- I always wondered if there's anyone who considers "seen on national TV" as sign of quality.
(Disclaimer: I don't know if the spam messages still say that, that's from back when spam filtering was still in its infancy.)
But LCDs are the most common 2D viewing technology today, and no one I know denies it the status of a valid 2D viewing technology just because you can't get a non-distorted image when looking from the side. The point being that the demand is ridiculously high.
Oh, and BTW, a hologram wouldn't be valid 3D according to his definition either because it lacks an eye tracking camera!
And game makers will look at this demo as something they want to do eventually. It's good to be clear with what we want.
While game makers will probably look at the demo, they will certainly not look at a random comment of an Anonymous Coward in a Slashdot discussion about that demo.
Intel doesn't make games. Intel makes hardware. You can use that hardware to play great games, or you can use the same hardware to play bad games. GPUs cannot help with the story, the replayability or the installation, but they can help with the graphics.
Being uneducated can make not only your own life, but also the life of others around you worse. Since being uneducated is a condition which is easily changed by getting education, being uneducated may therefore well be immoral provided that being uneducated is your fault.
Well, it would be a good thing that Pu coins are so small, because otherwise any larger amount of money would instantly self-destroy by nuclear explosion.
The original post said: effectively destroy it. That is, it has the same effect as if it had been destroyed. If I burn your notes about something, that information isn't truly lost either. it still lives on in the details of the radiation, in minor variations on the distribution of air molecules, etc. And one of the bits might even one day resurface visible as whether there's a thunderstorm or not. However you'll never be able to collect all that scattered information and recombine it to whatever was written on that original paper. Therefore effectively your notes have been destroyed.
No. The problem is that a company doing payment processing oversteps its authority by making conditions on what those payments may be made for. The only legitimate condition they can put is that the money transaction is not for some illegal purpose. Anything else is simple none of their matter. What's next? Streets which come with restrictions on what books people in the passenger seats may read when driving on it? Garbage collection with the condition that your garbage doesn't contain condoms? Television channels which restrict the type of food you may eat while watching?
If they think those books are illegal, they should call the police. If not, they should shut up and process the payments, because that's what they get paid for.

Kicked out of the BSA? Are scouts now also responsible for checking software licenses?
On the internet, nobody knows you are just a dog ... unless you bark.
How limiting is the US constitution actually? Are there things which cannot be changed by an appropriate amendment?

Well, that's the idea of democracy: If your government doesn't work well, you just elect a better one next time.
Have you ever seen a hologram?
It enforces restriction of the freedom to enforce further restriction of freedom. That's it. Reading a thousand more times won't change that.

The only freedom the GPL restricts is your freedom to restrict the freedom of others.
computer code is often easier than its legal counterpart
Ok, the next time I'm having a deadlock situation with more than 10 threads involved, I'm calling my lawyer.
I don't think you'll want to wait until a federal court has decided on the ownership of those mutexes. :-)
No, it's not. If you are doing it yourself, it's on your mind, and therefore you'll more likely spot it elsewhere.
Please show me the 2D LCD which has a viewing angle of 180x180 without (colour) distortion.
(Note: I have never looked at or used VRML, so I have no idea what state it is in.)
It's in Missouri.

So the content of your bank account is not safe?
No, it isn't. It loses value due to inflation.

Oh, wait. I'm just an unoriginal fuckass. Might as well mod me into the stratosphere, though.
Well, an "oblig. xkcd" without a link or even an indication which one is meant, that is new as far as I can tell.

Or even worse: The brakes!
It's a very meaningful phrase. It describes all computing problems where both the input and the output are completely classical.
