Are you the crazy dude who posts those rants talking about "yOur creators" and stuff like that?
And I like all the deliberate miscomprehensions of the meaning of people and properties in this thread. Somehow, corporations have become the decision making force, not the people who run them, and somehow the airwaves became the property, not the equipment necessary to make use of them. I like when you can redefine common terms to suit your own goals. In that spirit, I call you all geniuses.
It's totally time that we, the people, are empowered to tell them, those other people (who don't count as much as we), what they can and can't do with their property.
In theory, that works, but there needs to be a very clearly defined separation regarding what ends up in the stored procedures. I'm a little gunshy about using this technique because I've seen it grow into an unmaintainable monster. Without a clear line between the DB interaction logic and the app logic things tend to settle all over the place. Granted, this isn't specifically a stored procedure problem, more a dev lead/team experience one, but it's still something that needs to be watched carefully lest things get out of control.
Maybe you'll live long enough to realize that the freedoms aren't really important to more than the community that has already been attracted, and the free as in no charge (this free-as-in-beer crap stopped being clever right after the third time someone said it) is about the only hook that will attract the rest of the world.
Oh, I get that. All I mean to say is that this is a symptom of what some Slashdot people consider to be a larger problem - the lack of adoption of "geek-approved" tools outside of the geek market. You don't need to defend it. I am merely pointing it out.
Especially using a sport as boring as soccer to do so. Gah. What could be more fun that watching people run around a field, possibly contacting a ball?
Ah, the Free Software Foundation's way of dealing with this is to change the rules afterwards. Very crafty. As long as they understand, when you use slimy techniques it comes back to bite you.
Where did you get the idea you're entitled to the results? I'm a big fan of the concept of entitlement. It's fun to see people argue that they deserve something. At no other point in the human experience does an adult sound so very like a little child.
Yes, being unusable by those unfamiliar is definitely a desirable property. Shall we have a nice argument about why Linux isn't catching on amongst the general populace again?
So people pirate just because they can? It's not because they're ethically scummy, willing to violate the rights of others to have massive entertainment libraries, and deluded into believing that without copyright, quality would magically go up while quantity remained the same? I must be reading the wrong Slashdot.
Oh, and for all you jackasses out there who don't understand - there is no "DRM" in HDMI, and HDCP, which works over HDMI, also works over DVI. HDMI is just a signal carrier. It doesn't care about what it carries.
I may have been a little too stoned to be on the Internet. It made sense when I posted it, but the explanation is eluding me now. Consider this a retraction.
I didn't say it happened in your lifetime. I'm saying you're a product of it. I understand your position. It's scary knowing you're so rigid you couldn't possibly be any other way. You'll do anything to keep things like they are, or tilt them more in your favor. I would react with the same fear if I were the same way.

Apparently the broken condom babies have modpoints today.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. This wasn't a criticism of the government any more than me offering to fuck your sister is a criticism of you.
Do you not see the conceptual similarities between Windows and Linux? Does that mean I can equate them?
It's totally time that we, the people, are empowered to tell them, those other people (who don't count as much as we), what they can and can't do with their property.
Almost universally? So you've met, and/or have read available documentation on, almost all CEOs? Quite impressive. When do you sleep?

The lack of a release schedule and no particular customers to coddle probably has a lot more to do with it.

That's the first Fox News joke that actually made me laugh.

Hey, look, the guy didn't kill Reagan. What do you know, he actually did fail. Don't let the facts get in the way of a clever argument, though.

The fact that it's in the name of the product is no reason to say the parent is wrong about the company no longer existing.

Absolutely nowhere. You aren't on the same ladder as Microsoft.

That seems dirty to me, somehow.

If you're really that unable to adapt to your surrounding, evolution didn't really work with you.
Clearly you have uncanny vision and a knack for running large companies few men could match.
I'm with you, dude. This is beating off a dead horse.
