why not? i seriously have not seen a single argument for keeping IP and copyright laws that i can't shoot down. why should anyone have the exclusive right to an idea? you can't possibly prove you where the first person to THINK of something, there's every chance someone else had the exact same idea.
as for copyright, yes i agree you should retain ownership of your work, and no one else should be able to claim it as their own. but copyright law as it stands now? it's nothing to do with protecting peoples ownership of work, or peoples rights for that matter.
no big suprises here. what should have been resolved with 3 - 4 emails, Theo turns into a flame fest. the guys a fucking dick, and i 'm sorry for any one stradled with openbsd in their work because he makes anything to do with that OS painful.
Protection of sources does not extend to people who have committed a crime. this jerk wad filmed a bunch of people vandalising a car and hitting a cop. why should they be protected because he wrote a piece about it? they weren't interviewed, they aren't some secret source.
this guys just an attention whore, and i hope he rots in jail and gets a few visits from the "sisters" for protecting these fucks.
i could go you a couple better.
1. make it phone home on every bootup, using a signed ssl cert to authenticate that it is actually your laptop.
2. if your laptop is stolen, be able to report it on a website using a one time password/username given to you at purchase ( a new one is generated everytime you report it stolen)
3. once reported stolen on the laptops next sign in, it enables a gps system on the laptop which can be accessed by you and any other parties you nominate eg. insurance. you should also have the ability to lock the laptop if reported stolen (incase of sensitive data) note: i said this should only be an option, because if you disable the laptop there's a good chance the thief will trash the thing to prevent you tracking him down.
4. ideally this would be all done in an onboard module seperate of the OS, signing in using the phone network. that way they could format the thing and it'd still report as belonging to you. lappy makers should all make this kind of thing standard given how much of peoples lives are stored on laptops.
5. i would love to see this thing epoxied to the case in an ubder hard to reach place so pysical removal would damage the laptop, maybe even use a scheme like an ink bomb, spraying the whole thing with some kind of distrinctive ink that can't be removed and showing it up as stolen in a highly visual way.
huh? water vapour is by far the most important gas involved in greenhouse and you think it's irrelevant? i think you should stick to waving banners and screaming slogans, because that's about the limit of your abilities by the looks of it.
sorry i should have clarified there - it's as clean burning fuel as you can get. the supply chain and plants for processing it are all in place so for any real world comparision, it's the cleanest fuel we have - h2/o2 aren't atually used by anything yet, although i'm all for cleaner fuels i'm a realist and hydrogen isn't viable just yet.
all you dimwits making posts about melting ice before global warming does it, i'd hate for you to think your orginal or funny, it's already been posted about 50 times.
it's natural gas idiot - it's as clean burning as it gets.
"the few remaining bit of ice left on the planet"
are you for real? there is litterally billions of tons of ice on this planet. i'm going to just assume you've never even been outside your own little burb on this one.
i think i know whats going on here, your one of these people who needs to feel self rightgeous about something, but because the world you live in is really quite good, you make up this imaginary enemy to attack. your own confusion is eveident in the fact you advertise an anti war demonstation in a thread about drilling for methane trapped in ice
ok, so please disconnect your power and phone, and stop driving your fucking car so you can quit feeling guilty about all the sea otters you are murdering by having hot water,lights and transportation.
umm no we pretty well understand how co2 fits in on the scale of green house gases, and it's not a major player as you've been lead to believe by the cult of global warming.
WATER VAPOUR is MOST of the green house effect. but i guess it's not as sexy cool to state that the green house effect mainly comes from evaporated water from the oceans, is it?
"Clean-burning? Sure. But at $4.6 million a gallon, I'll stick with oil."
are you really that fucking stupid? obviously it's going to cost that much to setup a research site and drill that first barrel, but are you honestly so dim as to think every barrel will cost 4.6 million?
thats all well and good but how exactly does a speed camera stop you speeding? it silently takes your photo, and the first you hear about it is a letter in the mail with a nice big fine. they collect revenue, nothing more.
"Every time it's proven that global warming is happening, we have people who insist that it isn't man made. We're not even going to try to determine whether or not humans are responsible.
Again, we're just talking at the level of whether or not warming is happening, and it clearly is. The evidence is there, as is shown by the melting of glaciers in Peru and Greenland, a decade of warm winters in the northern US and Canada, ice-free passage through the Arctic Ocean, and so forth.
I'm just wondering when those people who are standing so steadfast for man made global warming will show some actual evidence, not just some correlation."
don't talk to me about decency when i have to work while he's choking the chicken. this guys got a warning which is more then most work places give, and now he is throwing up this PTS bullshit to try cover for it, which devalues all the people who
REALLY have PTS. as far as i'm aware, there's no such thing as a masturbate yourself healthy treatment for PTS, and there certainly won't be a doctor out there that would reccomend you do it at work.
generational trips can't work due to the danger of large radiation bursts and micro metero's. it's dangerous to spend months in space let alone your entire life. the obvious answer is to spend less time reaching your destination, and for that we need another break through in propolsion to happen.
isn't the answer obvious? we are in search of hot alien pussy!
thats right i'm not giving your stupid question a seriously reply because it doesn't deserve one.
atheism is a disbelief in god, not the disbelief in basic human nature, which is to explore and learn.
your trying to draw conclusions on things billions of years in the future. people thought in the 1950's we would all have flying cars by now and look how close they were, so how close do you think your uneducated predictions will be?
yes and we had doom says like you more then 1000 years ago chanting the same bullshit to a different tune. we are still here, and will be for quite some time.
fuck working at a web company i'd much much rather work at MS. look at the perks and the pay its way over what the other give you? i'd kiss bill gates ass at every oppertunity

This has nothing to do with viruses. your just fear mongering.
does skype state they only want access, or, if you RTFA you'd see it says "open to all comers". you can't get more free market then that.

so in other words your just a nobody running their mouth like a bitch on /.
plenty of billionares are idiots, the fact that someone is a billionare doesn't impress me or make me think they are intelligent at all.
yep, and you think an apple phone monopoly is better why?
oic you mean like the proprietary controls on the iphone, which locks you into cingular for 3 YEARS? retard.
