If being categorized as a thieving dick by the BSD people is too much of a psychological burden for you to handle, don't take their code and make GPL only patches to it. If it doesn't bother you, then there's no problem; but don't act confused by them reacting appropriately to selfish behavior. I swear, people that need every nuance codified to what they can't do to others in order to not be a shitty person makes this world just that much worse.
No True Scottsman notwithstanding, I would disagree.
It's not a matter of what science has taught us. It's a matter of methodology. Science is about modeling the observed, proving the model, and proving a better model. Religion boils down to trusting an unobservable and unprovable model to be fact. Attempting to apply scientific rigor to a religion inevitably leads to an outright dismissal. To suggest the concepts are indifferent or not at odds seems only plausible through some sort of cognitive dissonance.
You only altered your nick by a character and posted the same message and link?.. I expect more from trolls. At least change up the wording or something. This is sheer laziness.
The point he's trying to make is that no IT person has ever solved a problem that has occurred during a deployment. The only way anything ever gets put into production is specifically by paying someone to walk them through it over a landline phone.
FUDspeak aside, I would imagine they would go here to ask for help.
KDE 4.2... 4.3... 4.4... 4.5...4.6... and we're already approaching 4.7. Does this mean a major update, KDE 5, is coming sooner than might be expected?
I don't think one implies the other. KDE reaching 4.7 has more to do with the fact that they consistently release about every 6 months, and 4.0 was released about three and a half years ago. I wouldn't read any more into the numbers than that.
The very same liberal entitlement BS of a business plan that made Valve software a stupid amount of money with a comfortable monopoly on the video game online distribution market. I know it's against conventional business logic, but it is possible to make money and not be a petty sociopath.
If I make something, it's MY right to set a price for how it sells. If I want to set a low price and go for volume, my decision. If I want to set a high price and go that way, still, my decision. The point is, I GET TO SET THE PRICE FOR WHAT I MAKE.
You're absolutely right, it is completely your decision. Just as it is the decision of the rest of the internet to decide if your terms are reasonable. If the consensus is no, hive-mind behavior will kick in, and the internet will provide your widget at a more reasonable cost. Trying to claim some higher moral ground won't shame the process to a halt.
If I made bird houses and charged $20,000 for each one, but you decided that's too high and you stole one... Guess what. YOU FREAKIN STOLE IT. I don't care what country you came from, and what the poverty level is there.
Also, your analogy doesn't work. If you made a $20k birdhouse and someone stole it, that's not a pirate, that's a thief. A pirate looks at a birdhouse that someone bought from you and recreates it with their own materials. You're not actually out any raw materials or labor, only a hypothetical sale. That's kind of a big difference.
"Gee, I'm in your country, can't speak your language, and now I might die because I can't communicate with you"
Ugh, after reading that I now have to wipe all the xenophobia off of me. You say the above like people have the luxury of making those decisions; not everyone does. Sometimes shit goes south and just you have to leave. And when that happens to people who are adults, the bar is even higher since the brain has pretty much called it quits at learning additional languages at that point.
Inevitably though, these people will have to interact with the native populations that don't speak their language. And when that happens, the natives can get all indignant about it, or they can try to overcome the language barrier so everyone can get on with their lives. It looks like these doctors are going for the latter this time.
And that's just asinine that they'd actually implement an entire DRM system just to spite a couple groups that were still purchasing a copy of the game. I'm glad Sony had no way of tracking the collective library of games that were shared amongst my circle of friends, it would have put that 1/5 the cost figure to shame.
Without hesitation, one of the doctors said "Well duh, if you were born in a summer month, chances are you spent more time outside with your parents, ate healthier foods, and were exposed to more activities in a day."
"It kind of makes sense, if you don't really think about it."--John Oliver
Seriously, that statement doesn't make any sense. Or are we to believe that everytime a family is about to spend a day at the beach, they tell Timmy to go fuck off and hide in the basement since he was the only winter baby, throwing a Burger King bag full of Whopper Jrs at him as he walks away sobbing.
This isn't about X being less evil than Y. The more web browser options that are out there and the more evenly distributed their populations become on the internet, the safer we are from closed, non-free, or just browser-exclusive extensions rotting the platform.
I think it's great that Chrome has surpassed the psychological (but purely arbitrary) milestone of rendering web pages for a double-digit percentage of the internet's population. But the moment they have too much of the percentage is when my approval becomes concern.
So in short, it's just kids, but you really wanted to go on a tangent about those evil atheists who have the audacity to point out when math and science are being abused or when non-discriminatory laws are ignored.
Another of the obvious plots: shoot up (or toss bombs, or suicide-bomb, or carbomb, or...well, you get the point) a Black Friday opening line or three on the east coast at a big box store.
That's not effective terrorism. No one will know if it was a terrorist attack or someone just wanted to thin the line to get to the linens department before the good stuff was picked over.

Well then let me fix that for you.
Again with the goatse? We get it guy, you're edgy and cool because you're ten years late to a meme.
Goatse warning.

In fairness, at least Eric Schmidt has a PhD in a real major.

A mark of the beast this is!!!!!!!
Can we tell these social network scenes to slow down a bit? I haven't even caught up to friendster yet!
what sort of Liberal entitlement BS is this...

FWIW, that was Bioshock 2, not a Bioware game.
And how does this excuse stupidity?

Yeah, like you I thought they could have picked a better color scheme as well. :D
Depends, which half is Android in? :D
What's so office-unsafe about Marlon Brando look-alikes?
So whatever you do, don't go to this CS professor's university page; there's a directory link on it that makes Sony unhappy.

It's a shame we don't have an younger James Randi around to take on the cause.
We do.

I'm pretty sure that's a SATA interface, but as it stands, your statement is valid for either.
