The Acid2 test only actually tests whether or not the browser can pass the arbitrary obscure CSS features that Acid2 demands. More important is being able to render actual pages.
The creator of the CSM created it because she thought God wanted her to make an unbiased(or at least, with as little bias as possible) newspaper. God needs to make more wishes like that and less wishes like the invasion of Iraq and the 9/11 attacks.
And don't give me that bullshit line about the "code," rather than the "coders" being "free as in freedom." Freedom is the existance of self-determination. It requires sentience first.
How about I rephrase it a bit to fit your definition of freedom? The coders that wouldn't be privy to see a BSD forker's code and only get to see the binaries, can see a GPL forker's code.
And before you flame me for trying to compare proprietary forking to murder, I'm not. I was merely trying to demonstrate that, to pull out an old cliche, your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins. Stallman's take on such. Here's a quote from that:
This oft-overlooked distinction is crucial. Freedom is being able to make decisions that affect mainly you. Power is being able to make decisions that affect others more than you. If we confuse power with freedom, we will fail to uphold real freedom.
(although the BSD license is more "free" for any sane definition of "freedom" anyway)
Being able to see the code for all forks? Oh wait, that's GPL, not BSD. BSD may seem more free in the short term, but in the long term GPL wins. Read this for starters
Others like myself may prefer it for the increased power and flexibility.
What, in particular, is more powerful and/or flexible about BSD? It's mostly the same programs once you get past the basic toolchain(and even there, both parties use gcc)
Or some might prefer the price tag.
Free/Open/NetBSD: $0

If you're paying for Linux, you're actually paying for either support from RH, Novell, or similar, or for the costs to mail a CD to you. The latter is at most a few bucks, the former costs more but it's still a bargain compared to the commercial Unices those distros are trying to replace.

You're ignoring the fact that the life expectancy of a human for most of its history has been at most 40.
I've got it! Jesus is Captain Jack!
Not if it is as hideously unreliable as a floppy.
Or they're looking for people with time dilation fields from Stargate.
That much is true, but so far no browser is able to render Acid2 correctly without putting Acid2 over actual pages.
I was proving you stupid, not Bush. Bush has already been proven stupid.
That you're a Mormon.

Only New England was founded by Puritans.
The last declared war was WWII. Only five times has a war been declared by the US:1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII.
If the Second Amendment was created to allow a revolution when things got bad, why did the Founding Fathers make treason illegal?
Does that mean the amendments kill themselves?

And if the code were originally GPL, the Nokia license would not be able to take hold. Ergo, the choice of BSD over GPl caused this restriction.

When the acid2 test actually measures anything other than passing the acid2 test.
That would require 7-year-old mothers, something that would most likely cause childbirth to kill the mother.
Just because a person has not been convicted of any crime, does that mean that he is incapable of any type of crime?
Only if they use a black hole as the power source.
