So why is it okay for the ability to turn off secure boot not to be included for non-x86 machines? That (among other things) is what's unacceptable here!
Good luck with that... I've been searching for such projects ever since I got a TV that displayed the GPL in the help menu, and I have yet to see evidence that any exist.
The corporation's legal existence is irrelevant aside from being a convenient form for groups to organize under.
On the contrary, the corporation's legal existence is central to the issue! Groups are perfectly capable of exercising their rights of free speech and assembly without incorporating. Corporations, like copyrights, are an artificial legal construct and a privilege, and it's perfectly reasonable to impose restrictions in return for granting the benefits.
Look, it's perfectly appropriate that deprecated hardware should run deprecated software. Besides, Mozilla could continue releasing security updates for 32-bit; I just don't think they should waste effort on new features (especially at the expense of 64-bit), that's all.
I don't have any specific apps off the top of my head, but I was looking for something to control iTunes with and couldn't find anything under $5
Wait, you're surprised that an app to enable coordination between two Apple products costs less than an app to enable coordination between an Apple product and a non-Apple one?
To me, it seems perfectly reasonable for that sort of app to cost more on Android. First of all, you've got fewer users interested in it in the first place (probably 99.9% of iPhone users use iTunes; a large proportion of Android users probably don't). Second, it could easily be the case that the iOS devkit has built-in APIs for interacting with iTunes, which an Android developer would have to reimplement from scratch.
Now that you mention it, what it could be doing is counting that garbage truck (stopping at each house) as stop-and-go traffic. If there are no other speed-limit cars to balance it out, it thinks the whole street is congested.
it isn't going to give reasonable results
the F does that mean? lack of input means EMPTY, not heavily congested.
You're right, and that's exactly the problem that was trying to explain.
For what it's worth, other systems -- such as the one I use at work -- do report confidence levels, and do report nothing (not "empty," as it's impossible to distinguish between a road with no cars and a failed detector, but rather no result at all) when there's no traffic.
The reason this issue is important is not because the theory of evolution is important, but because allowing the creationist alternative means undermining the validity of the entire Scientific Method and endorsing religious Faith as "scientific" instead.
What the "Humble" Bundle are doing is taking their very worthwhile idea and flushing it down the toilet by selling out, and I'll be damned if I'm going to reward them for it!
So you know what? You can go fuck yourself, and the high horse you rode in on!
Besides, your accusation is idiotic to begin with. Apparently, you're too fucking stupid to realize that I'll be donating more to charity because I won't be wasting it supporting the middleman overhead.
I think you misunderstand: I'm not confused because I think I've been deceived, I'm pissed off because they seem to be abandoning the purpose for which I supported them.
Caveat: You have to provide your services to anyone, and people who insist on having their names stored have a right on that. Why anyone would want to use Tor and be identified is beyond me though.
How are you required to advertise that right? (Do you have to make any particular effort to make the TOR users using your node find out about it?)
I mean, if all you have to do is host a web page saying "by the way, if you want to be identified, send email to [wherever]," that's not an onerous requirement...
No, it's lack of data. Didn't you read the post I replied to?
"Its 5 in the morning, street in front of my house is empty..."
These sorts of things collect data in 5-minute increments (maximum), so if there aren't any cars between 4:55 and 5:00 AM, which is entirely plausible even in the busiest city, it isn't going to give reasonable results. If a couple of cars then go by around 5:01, the algorithm will update and start giving good results again at 5:05.

Because the other three explicitly stated purposes of these things were "indie," "drm-free" and "cross-platform," and they're all missing, that's the problem!

I disagree: everyone who passed high-school chemistry should know how!
So making pastrami is illegal now?! NOOOOOO!!!!
Dangit, now we need to go arrest everyone with a head!
If they have limited resources, then why don't they abandon the 32-bit branch?
How else would you stop an attacker from resuming the system?
Sometimes you have to vote Libertarian because the Greens aren't on the ticket...
Clearly, you don't understand how the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve banking work.
Poorly, which is why I learned my lesson and voted Libertarian this time.
What do you mean, "bring back?" OS X (and, I assume, IOS) still use Display Postscript!
(OK, so they actually use Display PDF, which is a subset, but still...)
Certainly the latter seems like the best idea - if you don't like the platform, don't buy it.
That's exactly what the OP said he was doing (which you previously objected to), you dumbass!

In a stairwell, I'd be more worried about diesel's oily slipperiness than its flammability.
Liar! Freightliners have more than 4 wheels!

That's exactly what I did... only the minimum amount (to get the extra game) too, especially since the EFF didn't participate this time.
I think I'm also going to allocate zero to the "Humble Tip" in at least the next few future bundles because of this.
