I was going to point out the same thing. If I had just accomplished something like this I would immediately pack my bags and take a six month vacation off the grid.
Quite a few features on the Mac OS X UI are directly lifted from Enlightenment and similar projects.
Actually, I think you'll find that Enlightenment "lifted" features from NeXTSTEP, which significantly predates E. OSX is really just the latest and greatest flavor of NeXTSTEP.
So letting religious folks make laws to restrict freedom for non-religious is okay, but non-religious making laws to restrict freedom of the religious is not okay?
What the hell? That's insane.
Religion in a nutshell. (Damn... that's an O'Reilly title just begging to be written.)
Don't forget the fight against reproductive freedom. The persecution of homosexuals. Their repeated attempts to inject mythology into our science classes. And our unwavering support of Israel despite well documented war crimes.
I have always worked on the assumption that the "Religious Right" views these things as good and just and therefore do not fit into a conversation about "bad" social movements. (Which is part of why I am neither "Religious", nor "Right"; they just don't get it.)
The real fundamental good that you're observing is anti-authoritarianism. That they happened to be religious is mostly a coincidence.
There is some content on the Internet that "any normal human being would be offended by," he said.
I can't say I've ever seen content that I was offended by, aside from something directed at me personally, and I certainly can't think of any content that every normal human being would be offended by. Disgusted, sure. Saddened, disappointed, startled, but not offended.
I grew up in Kingston Ontario, part of Canada that was largely settled by Loyalists. Even after 200 years the hatred for all things American by the general population was rather shocking.

I'm trying to promote the idea that the very existence of the CRTC is unconstitutional.

For those with limited reading comprehension skills, what he means is:
Oh no, he won't sue the entire planet. You see, most reasonable countries, like those in Europe, don't have software patents.
What's next? Will Bill Gates be said to have invented the microchip?
Wasn't that Kim Jong-il?
You're thinking of the cure for cancer.

Roger that.
Agreed, I prefer to call myself a Software Alchemist.
"Don't get around much anymore" .... But that's B.B. King, and he's way too cool for Gingrich.
Well with 500 Million people dead after WWIII and "very few governments left" you can presume they just abandoned them.
Very few governments left and only 500 million dead? I would have started at 2 billion at least.
this.
Dammit, where did my mod points go.
I had forgotten that it was actually set in 2010. Suddenly I feel very old. I'm gonna go in the corner and play with my iPad ...
Because it's hilarious.
Certainly the best laugh I've had all day.
Is it just me or is the news of 2010 - 2012 depressingly like the chapter headings in "Stand on Zanzibar" ?
dkleinsc is not insightful, he's a very naughty boy.
I would have guessed at Occupy Wall Street since the media seems to be obsessed by it and it's constantly in the news.
It wasn't THAT long ago..when pretty much all we had were 33mm film cameras, and no one bitched about carrying a SLR camera and a lens (or maybe two).
Nobody bitched, because nobody carried them.
Mine went round the world with me before I was 20, kids these days...
I have to say, this is an openly pro-Linux website and has supported Google for many years, so posts about shills are admittedly pretty ironic.
You have to admit that all the best flamewars occur when the MS shills, the Apple fanbois and the Linux nerds actually engage on a topic.
Qt predates KDE...
Does Qt have any relation to Quartz? Its the Q... and the t... makes me think maybe there was a story to be told there.
Does Google not exist on your planet?
The secret is to start at D and then prove C, B and A by induction.
When did 40-55 become "superannuated"?
Do I get to wear a cape?
You mean you didn't get yours in the mail? You should complain.
"there's a tortoise, lying on its back in the desert. You're not helping it. Why are you not helping it?"
What do you mean I'm not helping it?

I'm offended by censorship.

Most Americans still believe in Jesus, and a shocking number in Elvis.
