Homebrew MY ASS!!!
That's MY fucking machine which I PAID FOR. Any crap YOU put on there prior to selling it to me will BE RIPPED OFF. And I WILL tell others about it (yes, perferrably not to buy it), and how to bypass retard-checks.
not to brag, but read this link. It's a +4 funny, but +100 true;)
And yes indeed, I am veeerry lucky;-D she's even sorta otaku

Too true, though the bookstore I was working for at the time didnt carry that one. We had a good polity in which the bookstore was our own personal 5-day library. (waldenbooks btw)

That would be Disclosure, but without the wiufe part. There was sexual harassment and a big dot com bomb on it, though.
I believe there was a movie about this, but wasnt too successful.
Actually, you're right on cue. The GPL is under copyright. Read the first section to see my complaint about it.

What? Permitted to verbatim copy, but NO CHANGING??? Wow, that sure departs from the the very meaning of the GPL.
I have a few machines, osme servers, some desktop clients (one for my sis, who's 13). The clients sometimes use wacky 3d chips for which there's closed source binary drivers for (nVidia...). There's also a few oft used drivers that arent as well maintained in the kernel package.
Those few drivers can tear down the whole thing.. But on servers that I make the kernels as static, they never crash unless I do something stupid. (ex: cat/dev/dsp >/proc/kcore).
I have never been able to make Windows run as stable as my Unix-based servers. I doubt they ever could.
It's us, the citizens. We have the FINAL veto power, whether it be by voting somebody out, or plain outright killing them.
The second amendment puts forth the means for killing. Why do you think we all have weapons?
And when our forefathers escaped and successfully defended their freedom, we squander it away and let those in temporpary power to take it from us.
Then again, I think we are in well need of a revolution. Hopefully nobody will have to die. But if we are to look in the past, those in power do not give lightly to relinquish it. This does not bode well for those leaders when the time does come, and it will come soon.
Scientists (you know, traditional chem/physics/biology professors or reseaerchers) PUBLISH their data so others (their peers) can look at it, verify it, correct it, or just plain refute it.
For a scientist to skip this step means their research is worthless.
For a scientist to hide or mangle the data means they WILL be ostracised on any other article they write/have written.
BUT!!! For a computer "scientist" (software guy), not releasing the "research" is perfectably acceptable. It's for "the profit of the bla bla bla". There's always a reason to not do this.
Take for example, nVidia.. nVidia was going to release source for their graphics drivers. They said no, when they saw that SGI had a "stake" in it. nVidia said something to the effect "SGI will sue us if we release it". SGI came back and said that there's nothing we can sue you over. Yet to this day, anybody with an nVidia card is chained to nVidia driver updates.
If anything, Open source IS becoming more like that scientist that goes through rigorous peer review to publish VALUABLE pieces of data.
(BTW, I wonder which corporation paid him to write this crap up?)

Google mail does. Both ways too, unlike how yahoo only legs you get, not send.

Who said anything about a "movie". We're talking 100% interactive mate!

I think it'd be fair to answer for him.
Why do you like to use windows?
"It makes me money."
Its not free software. Nobody cares.

What license is the "GPL License" covered under (the actual legalease copyrighted text), and why cant we modify it and make public all changes?
Meh. My g/f has this verrry naughty dress that looks very similar to the BSD demon, horns included!!

Lets just say we Role-play certain anime that's labelled "h" for some reason
LOL! Thats a cool trick.

I just might be pulling a nice lil prank sometime soon
From my knowledge about what the body can accept, 120v @ 1-5 mA shouldnt do much other than stun.
Yeah, or "Snap, Crackle, POP!"
You know that was funny.... Back in '85.
Ive never seen Linux crash like that..

I guess there's still no support for superscript or subscript.
I guess the sentiment of "lets make it purty" takes precidence over actual functionality of a tech website (which, surprise, deals in chemistry).
EVERYBODY repeat after me...
---Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Does FELONY conviction not count as a "cruel and unusal" punishment for turning on a FUCKING camera phone?

Woah, by your smell, I can surely tell! I do prefer DETERGENT myself.

Wow, lets consider 2 different types of jobs.

Ditto.
Thats what you end up with "kiddies" running a webserver/tracker.
