Well I didn't want to bring that into it but yeah.
Ya gotta like the idea of wrapping evolution into a political/governmental idea; makes it easy to justify wiping out $A_Race_You_Dont_Like.
If any thing I'd say "scientific literacy" makes one more dimwitted as in the proverbial frog in a pot of water much like the intelligentsia of Nazi Germany were blind to the real intend by Hitler.
Ensuring the workload is equally shared by all is the typical socialist short sighted view. The better answer is to fire the slackards. No amount of "incentives" is going to properly motivate. It wastes company time and resources. The unmotivated will get motivated when telling them to get their act together or take a hike.
That's the sad thing of people who have never taught; once you create a lesson plan your good to go for eternity. Been there as an in-classroom instructor for the Air Force. Things are not as static as most people think.
So what's the big deal, the developer has been bit in the ass even though people such as Mr. Stallman have warned them about these devices and their proprietary nature. Pay your thousands and shut up cry baby.
This is just marketing bullshit from NVIDIA. IF they were really concerned or interested this announcement would never have been issued; instead all they needed to do was listen to their own developers and the kernel folks.
Agreed. I don't know about the NVIDIA/Android problems but on the desktop NVIDIA has always been waaaaaay better than ATI. That may have changed in recent years, I don't know because I stopped buying ATI stuff a long time ago.
What a load of propagandist bullshit designed to solicit empathy from calmatistic fatalists and fool the rest into thinking there really is something we can do to "save the planet". Not gonna happen. The measly "energy savings" from say a CFL is nothing compared to the resource drain a global population increase is and will have.
Besides, there is no reason a CFL for example needing to cost more than a standard incandescent.
Just how many $TRUMPED_UP_LAME_ASS days do we need in any given year? If elected President of the USA I will sign an executive order making it illegal to declare anymore $TRUMPED_UP_LAME_ASS days.

it doesn't make people more ethical. If anything less so as they think they have a more sound sense of why they should kill you.
Anything that involves a person in management.
No. If you need an explanation then your a crappy ass programmer, manager, etc.
because Obama lowered the oceans and being a "savior" he can do as he pleases.

And that's fine but I seriously doubt a California court can dictate what a corporation does in a foreign country.
His flaw is the assumption that software which is nothing more than math falls in the realm patents. It doesn't. Any Darwinian monkey would know this.

Put Linus in charge of everything.

The unsinkable sank.
Your flaw is to assume those "pirating" your software are "potential customers". They are not.
Doctor's will start "firing" their patients for getting a second or third opinion.
Add to that what image file format did he use.
Just another excuse to add new taxes.
Then the FBI and the Department of Justice needs to declare themselves terrorists. Oh wait, they already are.
You missed the whole point. Copyright owners want to do away with fair use. That should be obvious with their, to use your term; hypocrisy.
