Shouldn't there be a possibility to make changes to the GPL and release your software under your own, derivative license? (Scary, I know, but someone might want to do it.) They seem to forbid it as it is now.
You can use any later version or just the current version, at your choice. The Linux kernel, for example, chooses to only use the current version (and not the later).
Perhaps you are right. The licence says this, which I think is a bit vague:
If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
What keeps me from using the GPL is the "any later version" option. How do I know that GPL version 17 wont give every user of my software a right to come by my house for a free lunch? Or a car. You know, unless most significant software, everything in this world isn't free as in lunch. That holds for example for most lunches.
Are you sure that wasn't AM? FM seems a little far-fetched. I have tried some program on my calculator (also a Z80 btw) that let's you play on the keys and listen in you AM radio.
would an American colony be bound by law to be in a geosynchronous orbit over the U.S at all times?
Also, a geosynchronous orbit is necessarily located above the equator. Any country that doesn't own a part of the equator can't have a geosynchronous satellite above their heads.
If it shows up as a drive, and they expect me to "manage" my music or video by copying over music out from underneath my music management software manually, I'm sorry, but it loses.
Eh.. Showing up as a drive is a must for me to want it. Who cares about the masses, and making money? Let's make good gadgets! And "good" is defined by the best, the geeks that is.
Here is the article. Seems to be well-organized and inviting to the reader. Anyway, you'll want to learn some relativity first to find it awarding to read.

Just don't rape their bandwidth :)
Nooo, we, the Slashdot horde, wouldn't treat the GPL infidels like that, would we?
Them bastards! I bet they've got those a-bombs too. Oh.. sorry, that was North Korea.

You forget to tell us how to restore everything afterwards.
Steve Balmer discovered at the office party having sexual relations with Google in a storage cupboard.
Oh, everything is about sex these days. Even throwing a chair..

..it sounds like something we all do every day.
Surely Politics would be a better category? I know it isn't US politics I know at least 4 Europeans use this site other than me!
Oh, hi! I'm here too. Make that five.
What if the evesdropper has a more sensitive measurement equipment, using currents so small, the others cant see them?
For instance, just typing slashdot would bring up this site, instead of slashdot.org.
:-)
This is just how it works in Firefox, with the help of Google, already today.
Make it 500 people and you've got the cost down to less than a trip for two to Vegas.
What would it cost if all slashdotters shared one?

In fact, lim v->oo s/v = 0, where s=security and v=variables in your environment.
Eh.. do you realise that this statement doesn't really say very much about your variable "s"?
I saw this the other day, but I don't get it. What is it? Whould someone care to explain?
Let us now think of how we can look at the best ideas of this and make something even better of our own, to be used in our own free *nixes.
Ah, the nature of patents today.
You could also listen to Mir on 143.625.
What kind of modulation?
No profit?
The paper, mean I! Here is the paper, mentioned in the article. Clumsy I am! (Yet, seen the new Star Wars I have not!)

there is a hell of a difference between a spammer and a sex offender.
It is? Tell me more!
And yes, I work with Satellite imagery.
I couldn't tell.
