Well I hope you don't mind when people ignore you when you get older just because you're also considered a "relic". Oh wait, what have you ever done that even comes close to Stallman's contributions to society. No one will even notice you.
Apparently you haven't been keeping up with what's coming out of hollywood lately (well, for the last... 20 years). Good is too strong a word for it. The best I could give them would be mediocre.
You're walking along a shopping mall, loking at the windows of the shops. Think of all that money and effort they spent on marketing their product to you, and what do you give them in return? Nothing! You thieving bastard!
If I could download the plans and reproduce the mercedes with my own materials and equipment, then yes. You would lose nothing but the slight bandwidth cost, and if you distributed it via bittorrent you wouldn't even be paying for that.
Yet you use the term "you could probably care less" which makes no fucking sense! The correct phrase is "couldn't care less" as in "anything else is more important than that".
Absolutely, under no circumstance deal with Paymate. They are even more corrupt than Paypal in my experience.
I had an account with Paymate because I didn't trust Paypal any longer (and the fees were obscene). I sold a used game which the buyer then claimed was damaged. After much discussion back and forth (I was clearly in the right as the small claims court has shown) he flat out lied to Paymate saying he did not receive the goods and Paymate withdrew the money from my bank account without any warning. I was only aware of it when scanning my bank account statement weeks later.
Trying to sort this out I found out Paymate operated from a nondescript office with only two people. Their contact phone number was't even accessible from their website. Do not trust paymate.com.au
Give it up. You're argument is circular. Just rewrite the functionality yourself then others can use your BSD licensed version. Respect the choices of others and the license "they" chose to support just as you want others to support "your" choice of license in the software you write.
The saturation of our society with advertisements has clearly reached the point where there is very little space anywhere (meatspace or virtual) not slathered in ads. From an outside observer it would look to them as a bower bird to us. Ignore and vote with your wallets.
I completely agree. I actively go out of my way to not purchase goods that are advertised, either online or in catalogues/junkmail or even TV (hey when did I last switch that on?)
One way to justify this line of action is that by purchasing said advertised product I prove to the marketers et al that their ads get results therefore they go ahead and advertise even more.
1. I just block ads: This is theft, even moreso than pirating music.
There is no contract we must agree to when visiting a site legally requiring ad views, and yet that site is made publicly available. Set up a paywall and see what happens.

Software "Engineer" doesn't count.

Tell that to your local library, or better yet have you seen this website? http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

You may have heard of this item called cash. Yeah, it works a bit like credit cards.
Precog thinking at it's finest! PKD would be proud, um, rolling in his grave.
As good as LittleBigPlanet???

Or just closed source and restrict everyone's freedoms. Idiot.
At least their spelling and grammar would stay legible. Ask all those living in inner city areas without a car how they manage to live.
Wasn't it deemed a dwarf planet recently?
Same with alcohol sales.

One must retain a civil tongue, for discourse and rebellion.
I'm fairly confident you will find a vast amount more GPL software than BSD software.

But he knew how to get there, he just couldn't remember where he was going!
So by that definition a lawyer is someone with two internal organs missing - a heart and a brain.
