Amazon just out of the blue did not decide to start operations in Texas. No, they had incentives, you know like tax cuts and the like. This is not an uncommon thing. The point here is this; many states have decided to suck the dicks of companies just so they will bring "tons-o-jobs" to their area. Companies have gotten used to this notion. The fault falls squarely on the states shoulders by allowing companies to expect no taxes.
That's about the most "Duh" article. Anyone with half a brain should know if they are already in all bets are off and it matters not a whit if you used corned beef to generate your hash.
I tend to agree. Even though I have been using KDE since their initial 4.0 release and in that time I have somewhat warmed up to Dolphin. I really really do miss the usefulness of the old konquerer; to date that is my biggest DISAPPOINTMENT with KDE.
No, your are wrong to assume the License has expired. It has not. As such you are STILL BOUND by the terms of the GPLicense. The ONLY time copyright comes into play is when you violate the license. When you do that, you get a hit with a double whammy; license violation AND copyright violation. So even, and I doubt this is the case, the copyright has or had expired; you are still at the minimum violating the licensing terms.
Except there is a major flaw in your logic. There is no expiration date on the license. See its the General Public License and you will not find a time restriction. A license by any other name is still a license... at least when your talking about GPL.
Yeah Florida is a State alright. The same group of people that is so stupid they could not discern a "hanging chad" from a "dangling chad"; and these same idiots are going to have an untrained and more importantly an unlicensed person poke a needle in your arm. I would turn around and sue the State for failure to follow health regulations.
That's strange. Red Hat does all via Open Source and is about to pass the $1 Billion mark. Sounds like to me McNeally was a very poor CEO and it had nothing to do with the things they Open Sourced.
Exactly. It is a PEBCAK thing. KDE does not required any fiddling for the average user and is very usable out-of-the box, even those versions distros have tried to "personalize". I run only kde straight from source and even there for the newb it does not require any fiddling about at all. Even so, I still like to twiddle with the settings simply because I can and do not need dropping to a terminal to do so; and there is a slew of them that can be changed using the systemsettings.
But I do have to agree with TFA about Activities. Still trying to wrap my brain around that and just what I would use them for.
What a load of shit. It is pretty hard to compete when PC vendors were tied by jackbooted licensing deals with Microsoft and they sabotage their own software so competing software won't or runs "poorly" compared to their own. What's that? Oh yeah, Microsoft was sued just for that; sabotaging their own software.
Yes it is obvious with the plethora of file systems supported by Linux it can be a daunting task for peanut brained Window users to decide which one to use. It is a wonder they can get past a Windows installation where it asks if you want your partition formatted as fat or ntfs. However, since Window users are so accustomed to clicking through on whatever the defaults are, I fail to see how Not Choosing the defaults of a Linux distro is an issue.
LOl, so true. The sad thing is Microsoft took Kerberos, bastardized it and changed the name to AD so most people are ignorant that "Single Signon" technology was not developed by Uncle Bill. But then most technologies gives Microsoft fits when they try to develop their own code. Anyone remember trumpet winsock from the early days of Win95? What a horrible POS that was and Microsoft finally threw in the towel and used the BSD TCP/IP stack.

PayPal has always been morally bankrupt; what took you so long to figure out that?

So substituting a global tribalism for a local tribalism is better? That doesn't fix anything, at best it just moves "unemployment" elsewhere.
What a load of hogwash.
That's total baloney. I have yet to use any kde app that has "gotten in my way".

What is the big deal with printing? Install CUPS, point a browser of your choice to localhost:631 and configure away and your done.
Some one will figure out a method when you read an email it will brick the POS.
Bullshit
Your ignorance of the GPL and licensing terms in general is astounding.
No, your are wrong to assume the License has expired. It has not. As such you are STILL BOUND by the terms of the GPLicense. The ONLY time copyright comes into play is when you violate the license. When you do that, you get a hit with a double whammy; license violation AND copyright violation. So even, and I doubt this is the case, the copyright has or had expired; you are still at the minimum violating the licensing terms.
No. You STILL have to abide by the LICENSE.
Point of clarification... they have to right to distribute. They would be fine if the code was kept in house.
Except there is a major flaw in your logic. There is no expiration date on the license. See its the General Public License and you will not find a time restriction. A license by any other name is still a license... at least when your talking about GPL.
No. There is no expiration date on GPLed software.

Lol yeah really. Then they can hold your machine for ransom, once paid they MIGHT turn it back on.
That would have to really confuse a kid.

There are no known meteorites that use "aeroshell braking" or parachutes so again your response is bollocks and has zero relevancy.
