Linus Torvalds kept GPL2 for this reason.

This is one of the reasons Linus kept the kernel GPL2 rather than moving to GPL3. He did not like the DRM clause and the Tivoisation clause. As far as Linus is concerned the manufacturers should be able to use DRM to block you from loading an OS they do not want you to load http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/51826
ha yea and lets see. Maybe if we started paying our police bill, fire bill, and pay to have roads constructed to and from your destinations then that will be great. Also pay for the land that your private roads will be using. And pay to maintain them. Yep pay to have those road crews de-ice your private road too so you can get to work in the morning if you live where it does snow.
Sorry but being gay is a chromosomal issue Similar along the lines of other chromosomal deficiencies that manifest themselves physically. Such as Caster Semeya
Nice try. And I used to be very homophobic and ignorant. Not any more.

So Israel should be allowed to build and bulldoze indiscriminately in Palestinian zones?. So let me get this strait. Some countries through the UN goes into a place called Palestine and carves out land against the wishes of the people that live in Palestine, creates a new country in the middle of Palestine, That country starts to expand outwards by building settlements on what remains of Palestine and the people from Palestine should jump for Joy because of this? Ignorance of world history is so prevalent among the Fox News drones. So if the UN decided to come here to the US and carve out the midwest or northeast to create a new country against our wishes and that country starts to expand out to whats left of the US you would be fine with it?
As Senator, Senator Biden had sponsored five pro-copyright bills and co-sponsored three. Among these bills includes the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2004, of which the similar yet brutal 2005 edition became law. Another was the Perform Act of 2006, which intended to restrict the recording and playing back songs off satellite and internet radio (this died in committee).
As someone who used to buy exclusively Sony products this is just one more reason for me not to buy their products anymore. Lets recap shall we.
They buy draconian laws from clueless congress critters?.. Check.
They want to ban consumers from possessing devices with a record button?.. Check.
They want to proprietize the marketplace with proprietary DRM infected media formats?.. Check
They lobby lobby lobby for broadcast flags?.. Check.
They lobby to close the analog loophole.
They lie to politicians (about piracy killing profits) for more draconian laws while turning record profits ?.. Check.
They want to disable you ability to record CDs on you computer with rootkits while lobbying for a piracy tax on blank media?
They sue their customers ?.. yep
They are pro DRM, ACTA, DMCA,
Slapped red handed giving payola to radio station DJs to skew the song charts."
Anti fair-use?.. yep
And they support the view and by proxy have told Congress that countries that support open source software as part of a gov. procurement policy should be on a watch list.
Hmmm did i miss anything?
When I take all these things into account a disturbing pattern emerges hence, when it comes to their products I'll take a pass.
The problem is not you local weather as much as the climate itself. It is an undisputed fact that CO2 is a green house gas. That is not in dispute. One doesn't have to look too far to see the effects of Co2 on the climate of Venus. The effect of CO2 can easily be verified. take 2 bottles. fill one with CO2 and cap the other with air in it. Put them in the sun for a few minutes and then measure the temperature in the bottles. The CO2 filled bottle will be warmer. SO if you indiscriminately pump loads of CO2 in the atmosphere what do you think is going to happen? 1+1 always equal 2 Now we are over 350ppm and climbing. What do we do? Stick our heads in the sand? Ignore it until its too late? Just write of science as kook stuff? Or do we look objectively at the situation.
If you look at the latest 2 incidents the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floor. The one man even said he felt something funny has he pressed the pedal down to pass a car and it was stuck to the floor. It did not return. He said he even tried to pull it back to its original position. So how in the world it this an electronic problem? How does electronics cause a mechanical pedal to be stuck to the floor? Someone? Anyone?
Hey skxawng! Have you even read ars? Hardly any of the tripe you wrote here applies to that site. I just whitelisted them to see and no pop-ups, no-crazy flashing and all i can see are 2 ads on the entire page. One of which is an ars internal ad on the side about an article. The other is a banner at the very top of the page. I plan to leave them permanently in my whitelist. If they screw up with crappy flash of popups then I will remove them from my whitelist.
what about setting up a donation cart. Voucher priced at $1 and they can just choose the quantity of vouchers they want. So if you want to donate $10 select a quantity of 10 then submit.
I went from exclusively purchasing and recommending Sony products to the complete opposite. As a result of jumping into the content business Sony has changed to become a draconian, lobbying against our rights behemoth.
No longer will i recommend their products until they leave the content business and denounce their proprietary ways.
Honestly? I don't think the developers really care. As long as they can bury their heads in the guts of the kernel and write code then they will probably never care. I am not even sure if they care if anyone else runs Linux. Just as long as they can write code and run it on their own PCs then that good enough. They couldn't give a crap less about the marketplace and the extortion racket that Microsoft is running. Just as long as Microsoft is not suing them then we probably won't hear a thing from them.
If you record your dreams/memories to some external media then you are at risk of having all that information used against you in the court of law if they raid your premises for any reason an find it.
This smells a lot like the copyright lobby is behind this. I think Obama made a big mistake choosing Joe Biden as Vice President. Biden is a staunch copyright goon. And I wonder if it was him that influenced Obama to put all those copyright lawyers in the justice department. I would be surprised. Biden stinks.

You mean like the people who think secret Muslim Kenyan Socialist Marxist Communist Nazi Joker Anticrist took our country away.
Well i would put more faith in Paul the Octopus than any of the above mention clowns.
So what do they plan to do about Pirates? Unless there won't be any hostages to take on any of these roughly 1500 "vessels"
ha yea and lets see. Maybe if we started paying our police bill, fire bill, and pay to have roads constructed to and from your destinations then that will be great.

Unfortunately this is MORE LIKELY to happen than not. The Vice President is fully influencing the President on this matter and it's not in a way we like. Joe Biden's pro RIAA history will almost guarantee it.

Actually you're right. Pro corporate freedom.
Digital Freedom Party is great but way too narrow. Maybe just name Freedom party. With the primary goals being the points you mentioned above.

Woops! Sony got their arse handed to them.

Good point. Even her notes and pen are still dangerously radioactive to this day.
