  1. Re:irony on Theo de Raadt On Relicensing BSD Code · · Score: 1

    Excuse me? How do you integrate someone elses code into a product under a different license? You don't. You release a product, and the BSD licensed code is still BSD licensed and the additions that were released under the GPL are GPLed. I can go and extract the BSD code and do what I please with it as long as it complied with the BSD license. Putting that GPL statement in the file didn't GPL the BSD licensed code, that is what the argument is about. The original code is still under the BSD license, that is why the released code/documentation has to include the BSD license notice.

    Yes. That is what I said.

    Any state can set ther EC vote disposition to whatever they want, they just have to pass the appropriate laws to ammend how they allocate them. California is floating that idea as we speak. For some states it would be harder than others since a few have stipulations on this in their constitutions, so they would have to ammend their state constitutions rather than just passing a superceding law.

    Disposition of EC votes is strictly up to the state to decide. Well, within constitutional limits. Nebraska and Maine are not winner take all states, last time I looked a few years ago.

    Maybe he was in the emergency room attempting to get her medical attention. Maybe he was six states away on election day, but found out he would be out of state too late to recieve absentee voting status. With your attitude we would still be voting Federalist Party (c.1789-c.1820) and Democratic-Republican Party (1792-c.1824). Oh, and THEY actually think you're the asshole. And they're right.

    Whoa. My emotional investment is staggering? You must not have very many emotions to invest if you think this is a staggering load.

    At least I can take the load of having my Slashdot ID associated with my posts.

    Well, with that said, what I have presented isn't a straw man. No, wait. Maybe it is. A straw man is "an opposing point of view set up so that it can easily be defeated.", and you are easily defeated, so by taking you on I DID take a Straw Man position. Damn. Foiled again.

    1. A sub orbital glider that can make 100 kilometers is a big achievement. Only about 10 entities have done that in the history of the world, give or take a few. Think take. You, as an individual or company, are not one of them. You lose.

    2. You use all of those infrastructure pieces yourself. You can't build a rocket that can make 100 feet, much less 100 km. You lose.

    3. You can't make a glider out of paper that can make 100 fucking feet. much less any rocke except for an Estes model. YOU LOSE.

    Whine some more. I find it entertaining.

    It is a great achievement. They did it without a huge government behind them. Those balloons you mention had the U.S. government behind them. I bet you can't build a balloon that can make 100k feet with a passenger that can make it back to the surface alive. You can't make a rocket to do it either, or your ass would have been claiming the prize. Another whiner who can't, so he bitches about those who try. Whaa... Whaa... Whaa!

    Wow. That is different than my experience. From say 3-5 they are pretty much loose canons (no dear, that is a mommy and daddy word, don't say that.), but then they are decent till 12-13 (use it rarely and when used, used correctly). After that, when the hormones kick in, their little internal editors take a 10 year break and their sense of appropriateness goes out the door. That is true of almost any behavior though, not just cussing.

    Hearing them and using them are two different things. They need to be taught what is and is not acceptable.

    p.s. My youngest son used the word "fucking" correctly and in context at the age of 5. I was proud, not horrified. At 12 he still asks sometimes if the word he wishes to use is appropriate for the situation and context before saying something.

    That is the whole idea. The ID theif can't open new/big credit in your name without removing the freeze with the pin which is seperate from your other indetifiable data, and in most circumstances the freeze is only lifted temporarily. That way you can continue to use your existing lines of credit without any undue annoyance at using a pin all the time while requiring it for new credit for large purchaces.
