Except you've waived that right by using github. From their ToS:
"We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to the Service. Your profile and materials uploaded remain yours. However, by setting your pages to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view your Content. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and fork your repositories."(emphasis mine)
So technically, even if you do scream bloody murder, by uploading the content to github, you have given blanket permission to users to not only view, but fork your code.
Most software that returns results from/sends queries to an outside source is opt-in. You're asked on installation if you want to send anonymous usage statistics to improve later versions of <software_package> You're asked if you want to send a crash report to <software_vendor>.
Even Microsoft is asking you what search providers you want to use when you first run IE. How difficult would it be during the ubuntu installation to ask "Do you want to include results from Amazon in dash searches?" and only install the package if the box is ticket? Like Debian does with popcon?
Why Opt-in Marketing Matters. Point 1.b in the comparison in this short article seems to apply perfectly to what RMS is saying.
Yet at the same time, how far do we take it? Kill off gridiron football because it causes brain trauma? Where does that leave other contact sports, like Lacrosse, Hockey, and rugby?
All three of those cause concussions with an alarming frequency as well.
Really, Why weren't these accounts configured to expire on the first login, like most default passwords? If they were, why didn't they have some sort of policy in place in the system to stop people from using incrementing/decrementing numbers?
If Unix ownership is going to be transferred to anyone, it should be transferred to someone who actually has some interest in Unix. IBM(AIX), HP(HP-UX), Oracle(Solaris)...
At least at one time, Novell had some hand in the game, as a co-developer of UnixWare.
Linux, as has been mentioned many, many times, is not Unix. There is no reason any of those organizations would or should be interested in ownership of something that doesn't benefit them in the slightest. It just doesn't make any sense.
Within the context of DNS, security only refers to authentication, not confidentiality. DNSSEC extends DNS so that resolvers can receive provably correct information. DNS itself (the protocol, not necessarily all implementations) has no way of hiding data - a query can originate from any host, and any host will receive the same answer to the same query. Access control is not part of DNS, and it is not part of DNSSEC. Information designed for private viewing should not be stored in DNS.
Maybe you should try calming down a little. The world isn't out to get you, and big bad Google and Facebook aren't stalking you while you're walking home at night.
I was thinking the same thing. Couple the ZFS-enabled system with an eSATA array, and you'd be golden for quite some time. Chenbro has some decent solutions for the array side of things. Only other requirement would be a PCI-e card.
Once you start working with a high volume of disks, things tend to not stay quiet for long, so hidden away is probably the best solution. I keep my hardware in a spare bedroom, with foam bricks underneath the louder(read: 1RU with wasp fans) and It hasn't bothered me or my downstairs neighbours.
The first one that really pops into my mind is Sun(or I suppose now Oracle). These guys definitely make more than 1 million in revenue, or profit. The Verilog for the UltraSPARC T1 and T2(The CoolThread family) was released under the GPL. They don't talk much about it, and apparently nobody else really does either, but they pull in big money, and the general consensus is that the GPL is Open Source.
That's odd. I was one of the Resident Technicians at a Staples in Nova Scotia until the 16th. At least here in Canada, the OEM systems are configured to run the factory restore image on first boot. The user then sets up the Windows update settings, language, etc. May be different where all of our systems are multilingual. As far as looking on the shelf goes, that's just a bad idea. Any yahoo walking past the system can flick over to the windows update settings and change them, or do any other number of things. One of the reasons we do a factory restore on the sale of a demo here. That, and to reset those 30 day trials.
If you look at the bottom, you'll notice that the page count goes all the way to 64(possibly further, but they cut you off at page 50 and tell you to search.)
Piracy isn't reserved to the PC. Its just we're the only ones that take any flak for it.
I'd love to see what happened the year after the superbowl went flag...
The biggest problem I have about this is that the complaining now stops after a video game movie is made. I didn't hear any complaining about the Doom movie. I doubt we'll hear anything about the upcoming Silent Hill movie either, even with the unavoidable gore that will end up coming about.
Complaining about things like this would make more sense if they were consistent across the board. When a video game becomes less interactive, if the reasoning is that they are violent to begin with, they should have the same effect.
Luckily, nothing that the government does as far as restrictions are concerned will effect me, simply because I'm already over the ages that the rating system effects.
It's not exactly very difficult to copy the encrypted text into a web form and hit submit...
Maybe not, but its another step for the end user to carry out. I was repairing a website done by an end user last night who decided that because it was extra typing, she wasn't going to add the structure tags. The unimportant stuff, like the html tag, body tag, and head tag.
Even something as simplistic as typing something out, encrypting it, and copying it over to your webmail is still more work than people want to expend so cypherpunks can have their safe and secure environment.
This is the route I took, but trying to convince others that it was worthwhile was another story. Most of the individuals I deal with within my family and friends network use the free, web based email services(most of them hotmail) and can't use encryption/signing to begin with.
Some free clients have limited support for GPG/PGP, such as gmail through thunderbird. The last time I tried the encrypted attachments, however, they didn't go through quite as expected(Don't remember what the actual effects were, but the cause was a mishandling of the MIME types.)
As it stands, Thunderbird and Enigmail seems to be the easiest method for sending/receiving encrypted/signed emails, but free services are still a grey area for support. If it handles the MIME type on the encrypted attachments improperly serverside(the basic problem I ran into with Gmail) or they use the web interface regularly, there really isn't much you can do right now.

It's about time. I need those baskets back.
Can't it be both? At the time when the 777 was being created, Mulally was the director of engineering for the project.
Some corporate executives worked to get where they are today.
So... People called Romanes, they go, the house?

Canada's got one too, in Nova Scotia. BastionHost is based in an old nuke bunker John Diefenbaker's administration made. Link(Site 100% Flash.)

Map your genome, and license it as CC BY-NC-ND. Kids are a combination of genes, and therefore a derivative work.

You, my good sir, are right. From the DNSSEC FAQ:
Within the context of DNS, security only refers to authentication, not confidentiality. DNSSEC extends DNS so that resolvers can receive provably correct information. DNS itself (the protocol, not necessarily all implementations) has no way of hiding data - a query can originate from any host, and any host will receive the same answer to the same query.

You're absolutely right. They follow you during broad daylight.

Not making games for the PC to kill piracy isn't an approach to the issue. Case in point.

There's an older paper that looks at this.

Its from 1996, but it seems to cover the important details.
