The scientists are not the ones making policy. In a correct analogy, someone is bribing/threatening the fire marshall to lie to you about his findings.
Your former boss may have made a bad call - but as his employee you gotta deal with it and when shit hits the fan, he will get in trouble for making the bad call
Obviously you've never had to deal with the PHB's I have.
A few years back I went on a bender with some old Sierra collections (Space Quest, Police Quest and the like). For days afterwards, I would find myself usually in the car, contemplating a dangerous manuever like pulling out into traffic, and telling myself if I crashed I could just restore my last save.
It's kind of a scary feeling when you realize what's going on.
Polls and partial results are given while people are still voting. The temptation to influence their choice at the crucial moment is enormous, as has been shown by Fox News, which was announcing 269 electors for Bush, in order to galvanize republican troops and indecise voters in swing states. The voters are influenced by partial results at the very moment they are voting. Therefore the neutrality of the electoral process is not insured.
I assume you're talking about yesterday's election, in which case you are misinformed. I watched Fox News's coverage, and they did not call those states until well after polls were closed.

to get the original post updated?
Any takers?
Actually, it's more like doing a line of coke.
Do you arrest the guy at the corner who sold him the coke?
I can't fathom how many movies you must rent for this to happen. I get upwards of 15 discs a month from them and have never seen any unusual delays.
Way to completely twist what I said. The post I replied to was comparing a brand new distro to an OS that's been out for 3-4 years.
What are you blabbering about again?
And only an idiot compares a "bleeding-edge Linux distro" to a major production OS release.
I was going to make a post along the same lines, but it sounds much better coming from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
What an arrogant statement! It most certainly gives them the right to prevent a user from giving it away.
Try moving out of your parents' basement first, pal.
A poor analogy.

Good luck when your house burns down.

This is old news, sir. As has been repeated many times, Clear Channel no longers holds a significant interest in XM stock.
OK.
You're crazy.
I'm sorry, did you just advocate that someone get put on trial for each and every abortion?
I went and looked at this link.
My head promptly exploded.

How dare you try to protect your own secrets??!!?!? Information wants to be free, you...you...capitalist!!!
I'm only looking for good games. I don't really care who makes them.

He must have been disappointed.
There was supposed to be an earth-shattering KABOOM!

And just think how much more effective your rant would have been if there were any legitimacy at all to it!
Replace "open source" with "not-for-profit" and you're all set.
