    Gpl license isn't law, it's just a made up set of rules that no elected government voted on. Its not worth the paper it's printed on.

    By your logic, neither is MS's license, or Oracle's, or Adobe's. So we can just take those them however we want. Let me know how that works for you.

  6. Came here to say the same thing... (modulo the wife part, of course). I wish I could say I was shocked to hear that 1/4 of American's don't read books, but I can't.

  24. Re:Good news. on Airbus Is Giving Up On the A380 (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Happened to me once, and it wasn't poor planning on my part.

    Flying from DC (DCA) to Los Angeles (LAX) via Atlanta (thanks, Delta!).

    Plane was 2 hours late arriving at DCA, making it obviously 2 hours late in ATL. And of course, the connection was at the other end of the terminal. I was running through the airport and missed the flight by five minutes. Fortunately, the gate agent at DCA had booked me a backup reservation on the next ATL-LAX flight. Turns out she bumped me up to first class in the process. Kind of a nice "sorry about that" gesture.
