Example: You want your OS's auto-update mechanism to validate updates against your vendors' private key ? I do. That's how I trust it. Your OS is GPL v3 ? - then your vendor has to publish the keys. Bye bye trust.
Except that's not what the draft says. You can pull the sources from your vendor (even signed sources), compile yourself and run without any signing (you trust yourself not to insert any backdoors), thus the private keys aren't part of the complete coresponding source code.
That's true, but what does it have to do with your point?
That the GPL protects the developers freedom to further develop and distribute any and all software it is licensed under. In comparision a license like the BSD only gives that freedom to first line developers and does not protect developers further down the stream.
I was thinking more of tools that do not exist or take several steps in Photoshop--it may be a great product, but I doubt it does everything everyone needs with one click (some people seem to live by the limitations of their tools though...) Either way it's a better way to spend time then the above post.
Yes, at least on GNU/Linux (but I posted it as AC accidentally):
Also with the right settings GIMP is a joy to work with on GNOME (or anywhere with a sane window manager) in "Preferences/Window Management" set "Hint for the toolbox" and "Hint for other docks" to "Utility window".
Works very well for me, only image windows show up in the window list and the toolbars spring to top when you select an image. Sure it's not HIGed, but it fits in quite well IMHO. For Windows there is some plug-in that puts it all in a big window (and stop that 99% BS, Windows software uses all possible brain dead models of which the window-in-window is only one), I haven't tried it as I don't use Windows.
The card does not have a defined range, it's the particular reader that has a range of "range of a few feet". At how many feet do you start taking something as a privacy concern anyway?
Nice, but, it's not large format now is it? Do you have tilt swing and shift for control of focus and perspective?
Why do you ask me, I'm happy with my PowerShot s60:) I just see that digital tech is making great progress in short time, who knows what will happen in 5 or 10 years?

So you are a tyran as well then, yes?
Signing does not change whatever is beeing signed. You can compare the resulting binaries directly and ignore signatures.
s/software it is licensed under/software that is licensed under it/
They have, it lacks drivers, is unpolished and generaly "in development", but it does work.
I wouldn't call it friendly for a Linux User Group (you could expand otherwise) to demand that RMS speaks to them.
Argh... I mean right after "lightbulb".
You should have cut that sentence right after "himself".

If number of steps required to do something is the problem it may be worthwhile to pick up some Python--you will able to create your own tools.
If your system is bad enough not to check if a particular number is used or not....
I hope you count all Gecko browsers as well instead of dumping them under a non-descriptive "Other".
I don't think he specified any of the goverments in question.
I think you meant to say: "On-topic comments here."
It's not part of the GPL, you can cut it yourself and be fully compatible with the choosen version.

You should know about this, there is also a nice interface. Many cameras should be able to do time lapse themselves.
