The basis of I Am Legend (the movie) was the modification of a virus to selectively treat cancer. Unless these "nano-bots" learn to replicate themselves, I think we'll be alright.
To prevent that, we'll simply engineer them with a lysine deficiency.
The question here is not which license is better (more free).
If you read the thread, that is exactly what is being discussed. It may surprise you to learn that sometimes Slashdot discussions deviate from the topic introduced by the article.
It's the same story with used cars. At the first sign of a problem they want to buy a new one.
When the cost of a new car that just rolled out of the factory is less than a day's charges for a mechanic and you get a fresh, new, faster vehicle... you bet the same thing will happen.
My rough rule of thumb is that every hour the average Joe out there spends paying someone to fix their computer is roughly equivalent to one year of computer life. Unless the work involves data that you can't replace, it's typically not worth it if your system is more than a few years old.
It's sad, but the days of spending $3000 just to get a half-decent desktop system are over. Wipe your data (or destroy the hard drive) and throw it in the recycle bin. Your money is better spent upgrading and buying yourself a few more years of computer life along with it.
How, exactly, is your reply a relevant response to the fact that the Mozilla Public License allowed closed-source derivatives and thus Firefox doesn't support freedom? Did you read the context of the thread I originally replied to suggesting that the GPL, which prevents closed source derivatives, is necessary to preserve freedom?
Then don't use it. Anywhere. The Freedom to rip it off is not included. It's is - as someone else mentioned - Freedom for EVERYONE not Freedom for YOU.
So Firefox doesn't support freedom because the Mozilla Public License allows closed-source derivatives?
Then you decide to start charging 10 cents for the popcorn, and are still including my butter. That's not ok. It violates my license.
Sure it's okay... someone just used your butter recipe to produce their own. You still have your original butter and using the recipe you can make as much more as you want. And for those who don't want to follow your recipe, you can sell a butter churning service to crank out butter based on the recipe and profit that way. Why would you want to restrict the ability of people to use a recipe given that their use doesn't deny you any of your butter?
I was about to post the same. The voice acting for the father is decent, but comes across as an actor rather than a father. And the shopping mall "JAYson... JAYson" stilted lines? Ugh... that line should've been redone.
and I hate being "that guy", but is this system open to abuse -- for example, post natural disaster when people are sending messages like "HELP! DOOR HAS BEEN BLOWN OFF AT " --

To get the 120x optical zoom, you are required to legally change your name to Carl Zeiss.
Shit, man... he had to change his liver!
Considered that "Service Unavailable" is one of today's "tending topics" on Twitter, I'd say that's a bit more than one CDN node.
Maybe there's a sub-culture on Twitter who try to see if anal sex is offered by their local escort service then post their findings?

You may need to order it by the container load, but that's where I'd start.
Houston, we have lift off
That's one small fap for man, one giant cream for mankind.
It also goes to show how a carefully engineered nano-particle can be used to kill people in a rather covert way.
Parthos, a la Yuta!

I wouldn't call this an ad. This is legitimately really fucking cool.
So is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...
Come on... that's just cheap melamine foam with some extraordinary marketing and retail markup.
Has Tridgell patented, the techniques to defend patent attacks? Or is this going to be a prior-art for a later patent?
Ah yes... a variation of the obligatory I just patented comment. Truly a staple of the many tired, used Slashdot memes for every patent story.
Got any case law that says they can't be?
Yeah, I thought so.
Wait, did you just ask someone to provide proof of a negative? While you think about that, please provide case law that says you're not a moron.

But Mozilla "owns" the source code.
How, exactly, is your reply a relevant response to the fact that the Mozilla Public License allowed closed-source derivatives and thus Firefox doesn't support freedom? Did you read the context of the thread I originally replied to suggesting that the GPL, which prevents closed source derivatives, is necessary to preserve freedom?
You are confusing freedom and sovereignty, as no doubt are others in this discussion.
Wait a minute. I thought this was an anarcho-syndicalist commune!
Then don't use it. Anywhere. The Freedom to rip it off is not included. It's is - as someone else mentioned - Freedom for EVERYONE not Freedom for YOU.

PS. Check market share in Russia.
In Soviet Russia, the market shares Czechs. No, wait...
In other news - Did you guys hear Corey Haim died?
And right after Stephen King! Truly an American icon.
I'd like PiezoAnalogyGuy to chime in on this topic.
And remember, folks, lawsuits fabricated is an anagram of aw! fast is lubricated.
Or Saw fat? I'd lubricate!
