sounds like you were lucky, i bought a tv card cause some guy said it worked with linux, and apparently he had the earlier (like 6 months, damn it!) version than me and the current one has no linux driver yet... all i can say is the neighbors are now well aware of my swearing like a trooper capabilities.
Choosing not to let companies use your code just because you don't like the idea of someone making money off your work is the moral equivalent of refusing to be an organ donor because you don't like the idea of someone else using your liver without paying
Yah, except in your example someone dies. I'd say it's more along the lines of telling someone they can't have any of your pie cause they didn't help to make it.
I don't think of the code i release under gpl as free (except as in beer), i worked hard on it and if you want to use it you have to pay me back in kind.
Heh, i'm sure without mplayer there would be *heaps* of other proprietary media players, since real is only hanging on by the skin of their teeth since they open sourced their code (imho they'd be dead by now if they hadn't). Anyway, your point is pretty much moot, it's not like everyone can go back now and re-license all their code as lgpl unless they wrote the whole thing themselves.
Cheap +5 Insightful: just say "All Americans suck because {insert generalization here}" I've done it a couple times, it really hurts if you make a joke about it, cause you get about 50 overrated and 55 funny mods. In general it's not worth the risk:)
nice idea, but i think the problem is more people doing things on the cheap instead of getting a real web dev so i don't think telling people to spend a large chunk of cash on coldfusion is going to fix it.
in your example i'd say that mexico has no obligation whatsoever to uphold the US's laws. Why spend money to stop something your laws say is legal? There are plenty of other stupid laws around that would make attempting to help other countries enforce their laws by default a futile effort at best.
Most likely in that example the US would lean on Mexico or provide large amounts of Police to stop it anyway, which is the generally approved way of getting other countries to help you uphold your laws, and i believe the US has been doing this in sweden to try and get the pirate bay shut down for quite some time now, despite the fact that they are doing nothing that is illegal in their own country.
ok then, i'll bite. It's not anything like drinking from a pool vs drinking from the ocean, it's more like an easter egg hunt. hide a thousand eggs in your back yard, i can guarantee the rate at which your kids (or a bunch of hobos if you have no kids) find eggs slows down as they find more of them and reduce the remaining population. it doesn't prove anything but it seems pretty bloody likely to me that in almost every case Harder to find == less things to find.
even horrid looking lighting has a place, cellars, the front porch (depending on how picky you are, those floodlights everyone are using look a shitload worse imho), bathroom, toilets, hallways etc.

I think you mean Debian Ubuntu, Xandros Ubuntu, Mandriva Ubuntu etc...
Wow isn't published by microsoft. All ms is doing is releasing halo games 2 years after they came out on the xbox.

setting up a sedation policy will go over better with the public than shock bracelets

So, it's one thing to make fun of an irrational person and a different thing to make fun of an irrational person?
No, i'm pretty sure that's the same thing.
mmmm, whiskey
nah, else he would have said .com
Lack of market share, they actually had a linux client on the original wow alpha disc, but it never progressed from there.
That's where the secondary interface kicks in.
meh, live search does the same thing: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=moviemaker+download&go=&form=QBLH your joke would have been funnier if you had of found a search term that went to the right place for google and camel sex on microsoft's version.
Sure there is, it's just spelled "Overrated".
That's a good plan, but i'm pretty sure noone around here will live long enough for it to come to fruition.
Alright Alright! I get it :)
i wish people would stop saying false dichotomy, it makes me feel uncomfortable... a false set of mutually exclusive groups? how does that even work?
i visualized a guy with living cheetahs instead of feet then. good work.
In the mean time, here's some music...
