Then you need to buy two printers (you want to sign your non-anonymous prints) just because the goverment is a PITA and companies do things behind your back.
Saving millions of lives is good and may be heroic. But killing is just that.
Image if you would be the one who killed Hitler, say in the middle of the war, would you be want to remembered as "the man who saved millions of life" or "the man who killed Hitler"?
It makes a new platform. If you ave good idea for a game that uses there features you can make a DS game, if you don't need them you can make a GBA game and sell to a bigger audience.
That's why GPL is the way it is. Your code may be "more free" for those who receive it directly from you, but how downstream users receive it from there on is everybody's guess. By the way, even if GPL v3 is compatible with the Apache or Sendmail licenses you still can't use GPLed code in your software, just the other way ("linking is code use" is the current FSF's opinion). I suggest you make those libraries optional and dual license.
No killing sould be glorified (stylized is a slightly different thing), there is no good or "heroic" killing, there is just sometimes "necessary" killing.
Do you think that it's not possible to create a game where not everything the acting character does is glorified? If it's not possible to do, games can never rise up to books and movies as an artistic medium.
It's his isue because he has the problem. AFAIK most developers use some kind of *nix (with X and multiple desktops) and do not think that Windows is a very important target. So it's not the problem for developers and most of the prime taget audience (at leat of those who knew how to use their virtual desktops). Compare that to Inkscape, where the developers think that Windows is an important platform.
The cathedral metaphor has to do with being a sole source and authority over something.
Linux is a registerd trademark of Linus Torvalds. But that does net really matter here; the cathedral metaphor is not about beeing a sole source and authority over something, at least not if you go by ESR:
I believed that the most important software (operating systems and really large tools like the Emacs programming editor) needed to be built like cathedrals, carefully crafted by individual wizards or small bands of mages working in splendid isolation, with no beta to be released before its time.
From what I have read it seems that Linus mainly accepts patches from people he works (more) closely with and patches that these people aprove of so there are those "individual wizards" and "small bands of mages". The difference is that betas are common and most development happens in the open -- eveyone from the bazzar can go into the cathedral and look what's cooking and use that in his booth, but can't rally participate in the cathedral activities without some contacts.
In smaller projects with several lead developers there are less patches to process and (usualy) more people who are allowed to include things into mainline -- thus there is no cathedral forming in the middle of a bazaar.
I do not think a game where you played a german gunning down troops at normandy would be appropriate.
Because it was a battle between good and evil, not. It was a battle between two sides where many believed that they where fighting for a cause, and most wanted to survive. What would you have done if you would have been a german soldier?
Well, then lets go and fix Gtk, just because Gtk can't do it isn't much a good excuse for not even trying it at all.
You can't solve these problems at the toolkit level (if you want to do it right), you would have to radically change the window manager and then get everyone to change their applications to work with it.
Gimp already is pretty far away from tradinional GUI.
Traditional as in WIMP not MS Windows.
Well, if these problems don't exist them I am sure we want have long endless discussions about the next time when Gimp is in the news, after all we didn't have these discussions the last five years... oh wait, maybe we did.
Those aren't GIMP problems, they're your problems.

Laws are easy to make. Getting rid of tracking technology once it's there is hard.

Maybe he just wants to print anonymous, is that a crime nowdays?

That's not how most people understand open source. :-P
Then Tux will become one of those new warm water penguins.
But it's already named GNU GNU GPL if you go into the recursion.
No! If you run it on it's own source code the universe will implode!

Where's the Firefox extension that measures the 20 seconds and does the random link hopping and ereases the the history for those hops afterwards?
In short there's a big bazaar around Linus cathedral, and the cathedral is open to visitors to talk with the high priest.
I haven't heard Matz complaining about anyone destroying Ruby.
What about SCO programers?
Just voicing my opinion, I'm not on /. to make a good image.
The moderators, just like the posters, are from all sides. Just check my posts for this article.
When they want to talk to each other they meet at the phone booth? :-D
No it's your #1 useabilty issue, the GIMP is fine for the rest of us.
So everyone who doesn't solve your problems is sticking his head in the sand?
