Back in the 1980-ies, we had the following joke in Bulgaria*:
An American and a Bulgarian are having a conversation. The American brags:
-We are free in America. I can go outside the White House and yell: "Down with Ronald Reagan!" and nobody would touch me**.
The Bulgarian responds:
-Nothing impressive. I can also go outside of the Party House, and yell: "Down with Ronald Reagan!" and I may even get praised.
* An USSR ally, totalitarianism and all that.
** Remember, the 1980-ies.
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy reported last month that a survey of 1,280 teens and young adults found that 20 percent of the teens said they had sent or posted nude or semi nude photos or videos of themselves. That number was slightly higher for teenage girls - 22 percent - vs. boys - 18 percent.
So Mr. Seranko wants to put 20% of all teenagers in jail? Yay for him and the twisted "justice" system.
Actually, it does matter when by using a specific operating system and software you support an abusive monopolist which holds the entire computing world back.
However, that doesn't mean that people who have never been a parent can't have a well-grounded personal-experience-based opinion. After all, I have been a child, right?
It seems that Mark Chapman actually made a favour to John Lennon... by killing him before he had a chance to become a greedy old fool and be remembered as such.
Your comparison reminds me of an old joke we had here during the totalitarism:
An American and a Bulgarian are talking. The American says:
-Here, in the USA, we are really free. For example, I can go just in front of the White House, and shout: "Down with Ronald Reagan!", and nothing bad will happen to me.
-Oh, the same here: I can go just in front of the Party Central, and shout: "Down with Ronald Reagan!".
I have also downloaded the source before (even back when my country was in Sun's "terrorist" list). The point is that Java's source is not available enough if one cannot even give a direct link to the download. And we are not speaking of freeness or openness here, just availability.

What about floppy disks? Will the write-protection tab enable autorun?
Actually, the artist won't see a penny even for the first 50 years - he/she will be dead anyway.

... at the expense of the people on the other side of the Iron Curtain?
Just some food for thought, I am not blaming you for anything.
Her fascist regime.
/etc/fstab is defunct on the real UNIX called Mac OS X.
How can I create an NFS mount which will be mounted at boot time without a GUI?

Lucky Italians. Here, in Bulgaria, there are no convictions of corrupt politicians. And this by far does not mean that there aren't any.
Assuming that the final 'h' is not pronounced (as in Sarah) Petah Tikva sounds the same as the Bulgarian for "fifth pumpkin" :-)
Imagine typing into a shell and waiting a minute for your characters to appear!
Actually, this was happening quite frequently back in the dial-up days.

Oh, and... fuck you, too.
What TiVo restricted was running someone else's code on their HARDWARE.
But once you buy it from them, it is no longer theirs. It becomes yours. And they are still limiting you.
So then you may run IIS on OpenBSD? No?
A security system is as strong as its weakest part, isn't it? Or am I missing something?
they are blatantly robbing our largest industries
No, they are robbing* your largest robber barons. This is a bad thing but not because of what you outline.
* assuming that they would have bought the "pirated" products which almost never the case.

It is sad what has happened to the USA...
Is this organization something like "The Lone Rangers"?

This is not a link to the source. This is not even a link to the license, as I suspected sat first. Got any better?
definetly useless worrying
How come you are so sure about this?
