Among the few non self referential definitions of politics I've found is "The often internally conflicting interrelationships among people in a society". Politics is intertwined with all aspects of your life whether or not you take control of that part of your life and pull in a specific direction is entirely a matter of choice.
the current sitting president hasn't stepped down and he broke the law. FISA is one of the "reasonable controls" your talking about and FISA is being circumvented. the telecoms in performing the wiretaps were acting as agents of the us government. waving the warrant requirement and Bypassing FISA is a criminal breach of federal law. granting immunity to one of the conspirators is like paying a witness not to talk.
you know a blame ford for all of this mess if it weren't for him granting Nixon a pardon baby bush would have thought better about breaking the law.
only the extreme have even considered fully dismantling copyright legislation. limiting the timespan in which a work is protected is by far the more common view of copyright reform advocates. 14 or even 28 years from date of publication is more than enough time for an individual or group to profit from a work that has been completed. most books don't take 14 years to write movies may take two or three. copyright law was originally conceived as a means of encouraging the creation of new works not as a guarantee of protection for a corporate profit center in perpetuity.
I've had allot of luck with Leo (cweb compatible Literate Editor) just import the entire code base and start building an outline based on it. even managed to make sense of a literal 500 line main subroutine.
while I'm not aware of any clinical classification racism is certainly socially maladjusted and requires levels of denial and self delusion that fail to merely border on the pathological.
this argument points in some interesting directions. Gaming Google/perception/electoral politics in order to increase brand awareness/search rankings/get elected is unethical and may be an indicator of further unethical behaviors. I'd go so far as to say this not only points to unethical behavior in the business of advertising but in fact it is the business of advertising.
we are in agreement on semantically neutral code changes. as far as the usefulness of the term "re-factoring" it's debatable though it is attached to to certain semi formalized development methodologies so i suppose if your group is trying to follow those methodologies using the proscribed terms would be appropriate otherwise it's a matter of opinion.
I've seen tons of presumably harmless modifications in my life who turned out to be anything but harmless!
that should give you the idea that the code was fragile and likely convoluted otherwise the side effects of the minor change would have been obvious. better the code change cause a testing failure than the poor design lingering and causing hard to diagnose intermittent errors in production. if moving a bit of code around breaks the class then the class was poorly designed or became so through successive edits.
most programmers i know don't work for software companies. quite honestly the value of foss licensing is in that it allows custom software development by small groups on reasonable time scales and the refinements to the software can then be aggregated over the larger user community. open sourced software is really not about software companies though both proprietary and open sourced software has it's place in the market.
how many super rich Indie artists are there? Now, how many super rich artists are there who are represented by major labels?
the answer to both questions is very few. though there are a surprisingly high number of artists who are Inde for economic reasons. with the label they ultimately pay for promotion of their album out of their small percentage of album sales there is also a non trivial amount of faulty accounting.
It's not the wind. It is the earth rotating under the rocks. Not sure of the latitude of the location but the earth is rotating at something around 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
Is that why every time I jump straight up I always land 500 feet west?
ISPs do not have common carrier status and it's nothing that they want. common carrier status dictates a raft of obligations with regard to what a business can and can't do. for example, because of their status as common carrier the us postal service can't refuse to ship a letter based on it's content nor can fedex prioritize the delivery of Business Week over the delivery of Mother Jones (assuming of course that the same shipping method was payed for). in my opinion any company that provides internet service, from the ISP to the backbone provider, should have common carrier status that includes gprs and related mobile services.
think of an open source project as a distribution hub for specific types of tasks. people can go in work on what interests them and what they find rewarding. they know if they look in on the kernel project they can find specific types of tasks just like they know if they go to the cups project site they can find other types of tasks. widening the scope of one makes both less effective because it becomes less likely a developer finds the sort of task that they are qualified for and want to work on.

ISP's would have to stop charging per IP for NATs to go the way of the dodo in the consumer market at least.
Lets see denial(x), anger(x), bargaining(x), depression( ) and acceptance( ).
What does a depressed corporation look like?

I'm entirely unsure as to whether your trying to be ironic or not.

maybe they were thinking the free market would take care of it. :)

yeah I knew those mathematicians were nothing but trouble it's counting cards one day and breaking kneecaps for protection money the next.

you might want to add a Jack Bauer string type it would have similar functionality to python r"" strings.

isn't IBM involved in the OLPC project? do you mean Intel?
from some point of view all issues are fringe issues or can be framed in that way.
software copyrights are relatively benign compared to software and business process patents.

the same backwards.
Does that mean that .ism is the file extension for executables in the human brain.
don't be so critical it's not bad for machine generated English language text.
