I looked up the definition of OS and found 1. Free Redistribution which states that the license can't restrict anyone from reselling it or giving it away.
Maybe I haven't got the Open Source concept clear, I might have misunderstood things. However, isn't it so that when a software is under OS, it is also freely availible to anyone? And if so, why buy when you can just download it?
Polar-Eyez was predicted in Mission: Impossible the TV series from the 80's. Remember that episode where they tricked this guy he was blind by using these lenses instead of his real ones?
Those narrow-minded souls who still believe that devout religious faith is incompatible with fervent scientific inquiry are probably unaware that Newton 'was a theologian who wrote well over a million words on Biblical subjects,' and who devoted 'something like 55 to 60 years' studying the Book of Revelation."
Excuse me? You mean that religion and science are compatible? Sorry to make you disapointed, but you're wrong. (No, moderators, this is not a troll.)
Do you know how different religion and science are? You're saying they're compatible, and so I have to ask you: How? Explain to me how you can use both superstition, unfounded beliefs together with actual scientific work? How do you know when to believe the observational and experimental evidence and when to - rather boldly, I must say - put your faith in something that noone has ever proven in any way?
Science and religion together? Sure. Just make sure you doesn't base your work on evidence that goes against your religion.
You notice in most of the old footage showing these 'real engineers' as I like to call them, that there are no black people and no women.
-Perhaps this has something to do with the next thing you wrote:
Once women and black people got equal rights and companies were required to have a certain percentage of each, everything went to hell.
-Yes, who would come up with such an idea that all humans are humans? How ridiculous!
I'm not trying to sound racist
-Some people don't have to try... it just comes naturally to them.
I can't think of one black person or woman that made a 'major' contribution to humanity, not like you would think when you hear the name Einstein or Newton.
-What is your contribution to humanity? Is it perhaps the great achievement of you being a part of a group that you consider so great, that you, too, become better just because of that?
These astronauts were pioneers, setting sail to leave the shores of Earth, to travel just a short distance across the vast cosmic ocean. The riches they were to bring back to Earth was that of knowledge and experience, which may pave the way for other adventurous souls and make it possible for them to one day, perhaps reach the stars.
These men and women knew the great risks, but their curiosity, adventurous minds and sense of wonder were probably what made them go on this journey. We need more men and women of this great calibre, men and women that dare take a step forward in a world where so many seem so keen on taking a step back. People like these seven astronauts are our ambassadors in Cosmos. Let us honour these brave souls and every other man or woman who lost their lives in exploring the unknown, let us honur them by continuing their work.

Immediately made me think of Basil Fawlty: "Mrs. Johnson! Mrs. Johnson! Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

Apparently ;-)
So it's the amount of bytes that's in the LOC, then? This LOC unit is obviously not a constant then, I guess...

Maybe they see programmers as a species of their own? :)
I've lost count on how many times, but over 15, probably.
