Can we expect Nussbaum to say he is proud of derivatives, like Ubuntu?
It is not exactly like that. It is rather that any given sample along one line, regardless where it is on the timeline, belongs to only one and the same species, regardless of evolutionary change! A new species is _only_ formed when one line is split into two lines. And even more surprising, to many, then is that neither is the same species as their ancestor, for solely technical reasons.
Recall Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth (http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1182):
"Your anonymity is preserved because we handle the query on your behalf. Don’t trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already. You trust us not to screw up on your machine with every update. You trust Debian, and you trust a large swathe of the open source community."
I trust Debian, even if the server breaches from ten years ago had me "worried" (http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3112551):
"Within the past 36 hours, four of the Debian Project's main Web servers for bug tracking, mailing lists, security and Web searches were breached, the open-source group said. Joey Schulze, Debian Project stable release manager, e-mailed members of the organization's discussion list explaining that the machines were being taken down. The Debian Project servers run on its own operating system, version 3.0/i386, with current security updates. Some services provided by the servers have been mirrored at other sites, but Schulze told internetnews.com he doesn't expect the original machines to be running before Monday, with the possible exception of the security.debian.org and master servers."
In Nigeria people have been eating beetle larvae for centuries. Anthropologists have explained this as a rich nutrient source which could help mankind in the future. Now it turns out the little buggers (weevils) have an ethanol-content of more than 6 %! So, food or protein my ass. Those Nigerians were just getting some cheap booze!
This already exists, in Financial Attachment... Ask any CFO, and you will see that his Financial Attachment to 'his' equipment may have even more far-reaching impact than any short-term attachment.
You wan't to win the war? Make sure your enemy starts arguing over the military budget.
Prepare for Debian instead of Ubuntu so, that more users can enjoy your freedom. Starting our preparing for Debian will definitely reach out to more users. Ubuntu and Mint and many other distros are in many cases directly or indirectly based on one of the latest versions of Debian Sid. Preparing for Ubuntu directly is less attractive for that and other reasons.
My friend used to be a fan, a CPU fan to be precise. His wife was a GPU fan since her chips often got a bit overheated. Sadly, my friend couldn't monitor or control her so she got burnt out and died. Eventually, after a few weeks of liquid cooling he died too. It is tough to be fan.
My neighbor's kid brother used to spit them at us while watching tv when he was a kid. I just wish I had had some chemical propellant to blast him off.
I can see how both Mannings and Snowden have broken the law. If you work in intelligence or in the army you cannot expect to get away with that. You need to be a journalist I guess. What are the chances for Snowden to avoid going to prison if he returns home? Zero. Therefore it is quite clear Snowden will try to avoid it, no matter how ''correct' or 'righteous' he may be.
Should the journalist Greenwald publish what they have? Well, isn't it his job to do so?
Is Assange a journalist? Hmmm. In a way, I guess. At least a hard-to-tell-kind-of-guy with a penchant for reluctant women yet locked up in an Ecuadorian dump.

With cheap, longlasting oil on the horizon how dare they sell beautifully made 'lectric cars already now?
Check out my favorite electric car, a Mercedes SLS Electric Drive - a fantastic drive! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IElqf-FCMs8
Think of it as an analogue to McDonalds, or SPAM.
I really miss Groklaw days like this

hmm ... do I really want to know the answer?
"The streams of water, some of which are 250m in height and stretch for hundreds of kilometres"
WTF?
Since when did we start measuring rivers' height?

Maybe there have been more. How would we know?

The authors, Ogbonda & Kiin-Kabari (2013, http://www.academicjournals.org/SRE/PDF/pdf2013/11Feb/Ogbonda%20and%20Kiin-Kabari.pdf) write "Result will help to explain the observed intoxicating (auto-brewery syndrome) property of the larva".
Life is fantastic.
Well, here "Microsoft" tells you enough.
Yet noticeably smaller than Wales.

Debian Sid has nvidia-detect, a fantastic piece of auto-configuation software.
Not exactly what you asked for but definitely a step in the that direction.
Cute but meaningless in a world of the red queen hypothesis

Didn't you pay the self-proclaimed patent owners of that alphabet either?
Be sure, Google will _never_ pay Apple for using the alphabet.
Don't ever pay Apple for using the alphabet!
Is "shaky" a precise legal term?
Yes, since today it also has the samiliar meaning of "nokia", meaning "shaky" as in shaky future -
Usage 1: He used to be good but now he has a nokia future.
Usage 2: Windows 8 sucks, no wonder it has a nokia future.
The relationship between religiosity and intelligence is also intriguing and not too dissimilar in its foundations.
Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religiosity_and_intelligence
No low IQ people are atheists. :D
I guess that phenomenon is related to the current study on morals and beliefs in science.
Chelsea is indiscriminate? No, just preparing for a new mating season.

"Perhaps some Snowden type in Redmond will post up the source code.
(or take it to China and auction it off)"
There will be no auction, they already have the code
