Meanwhile in North Carolina you have 30 year Duke Energy vetran Governor Pat McCrory who has been using the power of the govt in NC to sheild Duke Energy from lawsuits as a result of massive pollution. Spilling things like arsenic, lead, mercury and other things into NC waterways. In every single lawsuit the McCrory administration intervened and shut the lawsuits down. Now you have the lastest massive spill
Sony? *cough*. Their support is by far worse than Dell in my experience. They are a build it and forget it manufacturer. Now it may well be that this issue may not have happend on Sony engineered hardware but if you do have issues then you will usually have better luck getting a bus to fly rather than getting any help from them.
Tell that to the miriad of engineers that put out monitors for mass production that got destroyed by people having the wrong modelines in the xfree86.conf files back in the day.
What you are linking to is a partisan political press release from oil industry frontman Lamar Smith of SOPA/PIPA fame. Remember him? Yep he's the sponsor of SOPA/PIPA and big hollywood has him in their pocket too. He has been against the clean air act and have been trying to shutdown the EPA for a while now. I cannot take his words as gospel so is he lying? maybe. who knows. He's a politician in the pocket of big oil and big media/hollywood. Take a look at his top industry donors Says a whole lot.
And you link to a site run by a Fox News commentator and Oil industry lobbyist? Are you serious? Here's a clue. Don't believe anything you see on Fox News. The have the wool throroughly pulled over their viewers eyes.
THIS! a hundred times. I do not see how the patent office is going to let this massively overroad patent see the light of day. What the hell is the "invention" here? is it a machine? device? Apple stinks.
1) did say in their internal documents that they intend to use software-patents as a way to "add a cost" to open source software especially Linux and anything based on Linux.
2) Microsoft funds, and arranges for funding through Baystar Capital and RBC Canada for SCO's failed legal assault on Linux.
2) Microsoft signs "Linux Patent License" deal with Novell and Xandros. Claiming it's all in the name of "interoperability"
3) Later Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer claims (without proof) that Linux violates 235 Microsoft software-patents.
4) Microsoft begins extracting a "Linux License" tax from device vendors such as Nas Maker Buffalo and some printer manufacurers and other device manufacturers.
5) Android comes on the scene. Microsoft widens their "Linux License" program to include Android. However they still collect on a "Linux License" for servers from Amdocs and Amazon among many others.
Microsoft is basically implementing what they always planned to do. Use trivial and obvious software-patents to destroy FOSS in the marketplace. The patent welfare is just a beneficial side-effect and i'm sure it helped to pad their most recent record earnings.
Why not ban it from Americans too because the US seems to think that every American could be a domestic terrorist -- especially those darned Tea Party and Libertarians.
I'll quote the GP that i was responding to before you decided to interject with your snide comment. You can split hairs about "terrorist watch list" or being labled "terrorists" or whether being designated "terrorists" means you are on a watch list all you want, the fact remains that the GP referred to TP and Libertarians being designated terrorist by the US.
I think everything i've posted bolsters my arguement that it was the Occupy movement that was and not the TP and Libertarians
Actually no. take a look here They went even further the designated them terrorists. I don't see anywere where TP and Libertarians treated that way. Just saying its not as simple as you make it out to be the feds are targeting conservatives. Just saying.
Well we can imagine all we want about who may be on a watch list however the documents that have come to light clearly shows that the feds and other police infiltrated the occupy movement. Hardly a libertarian or Tea Party group.
erm the link you posted had nothing to do with Tea Party or Libertarians unless you are implying that TP and Libertarians are "Right Wing Extremists". It seems you are lumping in TP and libertarians with the folks at StormFront and the like.
Last time I checked it was the Occupy people that got put on a terrorist watch list not tea party of liberterian types but don't let the facts in they way of your trolling.. carry on.
SO what you are saying is that if I download a BSD licensed source, change it then distribute only a binary to you which apparently BSD license allows. You now have that same freedoms I have? I didn't know that BSD enforces release of source code downstream.
oh what garbage. Did you know that in todays world I can take your BSD code that you wrote and basically lock it up in patents? GPL3 protects against this and if you are saying its ok for me to come along and patent your solutions then feel free to release your code under BSD or GPL2.
As usual His Steveness conspires to threaten other companies to go along with this scheme. Similar to his book deal conspiracy. Steve was the king of arsewipes.
Not avoiding your point. And you point about the sun rising in the east and setting in the west is well taken however you are talking about an already known phenomenon where in this case the source would only be confirming what is already known. In the case of Daily Caller and what was reported there, one would need to have that information independently verified before taking it as fact. This is because it is not news its a political operation that exists for the sole purpose of deseminating political propoganda.
Wrong. If a source is well known for spreading deliberate falsehoods and politcal party propganda then the source is not reputable. This has absolutely nothing to do with bigotry.
By linking to a rabid patiasan source like the daily caller you have basically invalidated your post here. Nothing you have said here can be taken seriously because you are linking to the Daily Caller for gods sake.
Actually no that is not the net result. The net result is a supression of liberal groups because while some of the conservative groups got delayed none were denied. However they did deny some of the liberal/progressive groups. Again you won't hear that on the talk-radio circuit because they leave out the part where liberals/progressives were also affected and even more affected than the conservatives groups. I know...facts can mess up a soap box. But these are facts. and they are undenyable.
Except in the IRS scandal the IRS wasn't only targeting conservative groups like the talk-radio circuit would have you believe. They were equally targeting liberal groups filing tax exempt status while going about with political activites. In other words Fox and talk-radio friends left off the important fact that they were targeting all political activists both liberal and conservative that were filing for 501C4 status and then doing political activism. Apparently that is against the law.

And now folks you see why Lamar Smith wants to hobble the EPA.

I never said with certainty that he was lying. He's a politician so he could well be lying. What I said is "who knows"

Libertarian? you mean like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee? I hope not. really hope not.
Tell that to the linux developers who Microsoft has claimed ownership of their code and demanding licenses on code they did not write.
There is nothing to stop me from doing that with BSD licensed code.
SO what you are saying is that if I download a BSD licensed source, change it then distribute only a binary to you which apparently BSD license allows. You now have that same freedoms I have? I didn't know that BSD enforces release of source code downstream.
