A man is trying to build a bar in a location that happens to be one block from a conservative church. The pastor of the church asks his congregation to pray that God intervene and prevent the bar from being built. Sure enough, the next day, the partially-constructed bar burns to the ground. The bar owner takes the church to court, where the pastor's lawyer argues that the church wasn't directly responsible for the fire. The judge replies, "Seems to me that the bartender believes more in the power of God than the pastor."
If you get into court for stealing proprietary code*, then you pay a settlement and keep going. It's very unlikely that your whole software is shutdown.
If you add OSS (share-alike) code to your project and distribute it, you have implicitly and irrevocably licensed the rest of your project under the same license.
*It's unlikely you'll get into court. First, it's impossible to tell that you have stolen the code, and second, you don't see the code normally when you work with proprietary software. If you work with OSS, you run a risk of seeing the code, using similar algorithms, and being sued that way. Yes, it's highly unlikely, but the point is that it's easier to access OSS code than proprietary code.
We use "screencast" instead of "movie" for the same reason we use "screenshot" instead of "picture". They both describe that we're capturing from a program.
And in a more philosophical sense, it's the same reason we use "sound" instead of "noise".
I never realized that is why Catholics worship Mary. She was free of sexual sin.
(Hehe, they don't worship her, they venerate her. And apparently there's a difference.)
Anyway, it's more than she was free of sexual sin: she was free of all sin. She and Jesus were the only humans not bound to Adam's original sin (and Jesus is a special case).
If it were animated GIFs I'd be fine. It's 30 animated QuickTime movies and Flash animations. Some people's computers just can't handle that without their browser all but crashing.
If Jesus ever did sin he couldn't be God, God is Holy and therefore sinless.
But Jesus was also fully human, and all humans are born sinners... Unless you happen to be Catholic and let "immaculate conception" get in the way. Then Mary too is sinless. Which means she's more God than human.
Please also remember that although Jesus and God are one (in the Trinity), they are not the same person. God didn't die. God is immortal. Jesus died.
Jesus was tempted but did not sin.
If he did it to commit heresy than that's bad.
You can't "commit heresy" in the same way you "commit suicide". You don't sit down and say "hey, I'm going to oppose the Church today." You have a different idea, and you believe it on what you perceive to be valid grounds.
This is the United States. Anybody can sue anyone for anything.
Whether or not you'll win (or avoid barratry charges) is a separate story.
Go ahead and prosecute him, I say. Whistleblower laws and anti-SLAPP laws should cover him. For a case as important as this, he'll definitely have the EFF and the ACLU behind him.
Doesn't the DMCA make it illegal to make tools for breaking encryption or even to discuss how encryption may be broken?
No. You're letting them control you because they always use the acronym.
It is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It is first, foremost, and only a copyright act.
The Enigma messages aren't copyrighted in any real sense (copyrights that belonged to the Nazi Party went to interesting places - at one point they were public-domained by an Allied government as "spoils of war"), and moreover the encryption doesn't enforce copy protection. The messages were secured from reading for confidentiality, not from distributing for licensing content.
If it's the game that everyone is expecting then, yes.
It doesn't even have to be a Halo franchise game - but it will be as good as everyone's vision of Halo 3.
For us it's about making a proper impact on the platform.
We need a great game on the Xbox 360 to show off how pwnzor the system really is.
It has to be something with huge significance, so we won't be rushed.
Even though we don't need it, we're probably going to use the Halo franchise, simply because people expect Halo 3 to be good - but we're designing it with the attitude of "Xbox 360 killer app" instead of "sequel to Halo 2", because that's what we need to produce.
Ego, ex mea parte, saluto dominos nostros novos grammaticos!
Literal translation only through English:
Myself, from my part, salute dominating our new grammatists.
Which is almost the meaning, and goes to show that although word order (in particular, the position of "dominos") doesn't matter in Latin, it definitely makes a difference in English.
You work at LAUSD and I only know that because the morons at ITD turned on their stupid Cisco firewall module rules the week before last and locked everyone in our department out of the State of California's official FTP site for getting critical data. Gotta love the brainiacs at ITD.
Los Angeles? No, you're about 1500 miles off.
Geoffrey's Corollary to Hanlon's Razor: Nobody has a monopoly on stupidity.
Entry level position, must have 5 years experience in.net 2.0, 4 years in perl 6,....
What, you don't? Surely you have 4 years of experience with some earlier version of Perl, which was what Perl 6 was at the time. If you now know Perl 6, you qualify.
If you can say "2 years of experience with C++" when you didn't figure out templates until a year ago, you can definitely say "4 years of experience with Perl 6".

Why is Squidoo #1,000,001? It was created in October 2005, and edited yesterday. Is this 1 millionth EDIT? I'm confused.
The "page" Squidoo was created in October 2005. It became an "article" after fitting the criteria, namely, a link to another page.
Yes.

Yes, but how many are stubs or redirects[...]?
Over 2.5 million. The Statistics page only counts real articles, which they define as a non-redirect, main namespace page with at least one link to another page.

If religous zealots don't believe in Evolution, then why are they so worried about bird flu?
Because it's the first strain of flu that infects straw men.

Everyone.
Oui, mais ce sont pratiquement les seuls à l'utiliser en version émasculée, sans accents...
Emasculée? Nous n'avons émasculée rien. Il n'y avait pas d'accents dans l'alphabet que les latins a utilisé. Vous les avez ajouté.
Si les latins peuvent l'utiliser a vainquir son empire, ça suffit pour le monde, non?
It's about-time that the anglo-saxons wake-up to the fact that their crippled alphabet is not a valid means of international communication!
Anglo-saxons? Les anglo-saxons ne sont pas les seuls peuples qui utilisent l'alphabet Latin.

I remember hearing a story where Bletchley received a junk message which had no 'L's.
No L? Must have been a Christmas greeting from the German forces.
It depends.

I am so facking sick of my local (Orlando, FL, WMFE) public television station playing so much facking British programming.
"Facking?" Looks like it's getting to you....
Make one of your own. Share with your friend. C'mon, folks, the time is now to be juvenile!
How about this?
I've sold my shares, now I'm cancelling my account.
I will not be told when and where I may use the name of some 7th century bi-sexual paedophile.
Note, I have not used any names, if you are offended, it is because you know it is historically accurate, and the truth hurts.
I'm not even Muslim and I'm offended.

Let's face it. Making stuff yourself gets out of fashion. Remember, kids, only commies make stuff themselves, a good consumer buys it!
You do realize that "commies" were more of a threat in the 70's and 80's. *coughgoldenageofhomebrewcough*
