As soon as I saw "Jeff Vogel", I knew I had to read the article. The Exile series is still my favorite series of games ever made. Avernum, however, I didn't like so much.
Unfortunately, there's an old saying, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." I think you'd find that, if you put ordinary people in positions of power, they will end up no better than the ones who currently do it.
The value might not be immediately recognized. Plus, by not giving away something like MySQL or Apache, you're hurting the community. All to avoid some extra text at the top of a file? Totally not worth it.
That's fine and dandy until somebody takes your markets your application and sells it for millions, while you're slaving away. Perhaps you could argue that selling it is "messing with it" -- but that's not necessarily true. And then comes the legal-speak...
I used to have a Microsoft keyboard/mouse at work. I hated both of them. When a co-worker went on vacation, I stole his Dell gear and replaced it with my Microsoft stuff. He hasn't come back yet, I wonder what he's going to say...
Many of the coastal cities/states/provinces may end up underwater. For example, Newfoundland, California, Vancouver... hmm, I'm starting to understand why life will get better!
And then the revised version is thrown in the trash and the original one is posted, with its grammar and spelling mistakes?
(Am I the only one who hates that "slow down, cowboy!" message? It's like another way of telling me I type too quickly...)
Yes, actually. More bits = more junk in the tubes. Now, if Apple contracted out a dumptruck that you could just load your songs on, that would be different.
Let's say they paid in $100 bills. That's 31,000,000 bills. Say each pack of 10 bills weighs 1 gram. That's 3,100,000 grams, or 3,100kg. That's about the weight of a car. In $100 bills. Conservatively.

Or something.. I already blew one Futurama reference at work today, let's go for another.
He didn't use html codes, so the whitespace got eaten. View-source on his comment for something readable.
But seriously, is it a bad thing that I can identify something as not being actual base64 the instant you look at it?

Brain damage? Most of us wear them to stop the government's Orbiting Mind Control Lasers from tricking us into buying more Pepsi and McDonalds!
I'd hate to imagine the series of events that would lead me to being unable to unlock the drivers-side door while wearing a skirt...

Usually when I'm getting undressed. At least, I assume it's a good way...
I KNEW that was how Over the Hedge was going to end!
From my untrained eye, I would have to say yes. It definitely seems to be going to the right.
Of course, there can also be an up-side! If we could direct hurricanes towards [insert your favorite scapegoat here: Canada?], life would be great!
Disclaimer: I live in Canada, and I think this is a bad idea.
Shh, you're stepping on my dreams! :P

I don't. Explain?

In conservative Canada, information protects you!
Believe me when I say, Yazan doesn't care whether or not people are running Norton's products.
Now that you mention it, they did that too!

Not nearly as impressive! And I'd even question some of those (.wmf anybody?)
