    You don't think a college student in the USA might not be able to afford retail prices for games and movies?

    Use google lots of evidence out there. The was a heavy smoker and thought that cigarettes did not cause cancer. When she then got lung cancer she went on social security and had Medicare pay some of her health bills. She was a hypocrite, like most folks.

    No one is taking about using force and you know it. Everyone has the right to use their free speech to try convince people to do what they want.

    That is profit, try looking into revenue.

    Comments like that really call into question whether anyone should ever believe anything you post, since you probably already knew that.

    Because the odds that all doctors are evil is lower than the odds that one doctor is evil. Trust is not an all or nothing thing.

    That is not their problem, but grease-monkey already lets you do this.

    This is just done in the users browser.

    But you currently do not have the right to do that. The license google uses forbids this, I am pretty sure.

    Wow, that is one really good troll.

    They already give you a copy of this code numbnuts, the FSF just wants them to change the license on it. Confiscation is done against your will. the FSF does not have the force of law they just are asking.

    The FSF is never demeaned when they try to have software come under a free software license, that is their goal at all times.

    You missed the biggest part of their complaint. They want you to have the right to modify that code and have the rest of the four freedoms. They want this code under a free software license, as they want for all code.

    Meaning they could actually get a second opinion. Seems like that would be great. I am no doctor, but I get access to the records so I can show them to another doctor. Getting a second opinion is a valuable thing.

    You are the only one, because you have no idea what you are talking about.

    The FSF would like to see you be able to substitute sites scripts with your own modified copies only on your own browser. Oh no, you could run exploit code on yourself.

    How about you register an account and come back in a few years when you have learned something.

    You should be able too. You can always replace the code on your devices to be sure.

    Most people might not care, but that does not mean anything. Most of those people would be ok without freedom of speech or freedom of thought either.

    It is a huge deal. It is right there in the page source, and you do not have the right to do a thing with it according to the current license on that code. Giving you the four freedoms on software you are running is a huge deal and the goal of the FSF.

  18. Re:Yeah right on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 1

    They want the user to have the four freedoms over this code. They also want an unobfuscated copy. Right now you sure could copy the JS and modify it yourself, but you would be in violation of the license google has placed on it.

  19. Re:Yeah right on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 1

    Good job having no idea what you are talking about there. Javascript runs on the browser, you get a copy every-time you visit google.

    On top of which if you have source, you don't need to reverse engineer anything. Plus hiding access to source is not security, just obscurity.

    Over all your entire comment was pretty much totally pointless and uninformed.

    the issue was that hemp fields made the ideal hiding spot for pot cultivation.

    Not at all, you will end up with the plant getting pollinated and then they have seeds. Industrial hemp includes male plants so this would just not work.

    I never would recommend an installation of Windows, but if you are going to do it a retail copy would be the way to go.

    Otherwise don't be surprised to find all kinds of crummy software and maybe even crap like this installed.
