Well I'm sorry but there can't be a world where everyone is well fed, where there are no homeless and no rights threatened. The more rights you try to give to the people, the more you have to take from them to keep them from interfering with each others rights. Another reason for the inequalities is that inevitably some people are lazier than others, some are smarter than others and some 'fight' more energetic than others. That is why there is this everlasting fight between the consumers and the RIAA and MPAA. They are just as right to defend their rights to get money for something they created(I'm not talking about (MP/RI)AA but the artists) as we are for not paying more money to do what we want with what we bought. There is no solution to this, the only end I can see to it is one side winning and we live like that for a while. Then the other side rises again and we start all over again. In short, people are a problem. How many animals do you know who are poor or homeless? A quote from Nietzsche "an animal who could speak thus said: humanity is prejudice from which we animals are at least free"
Ok, so Apple takes BSD, slaps a bubbly GUI on top of it that becomes popular. Because of its popularity, bunch of hackers decide they'll run it differently anyway. The result? More BSD! And i'm sure apple loves that, don't they?
As we have seen through our own history and present, when civilizations interact, it is often hostile and violent. It would only take one aggressive, space-faring, xenophobic race to send the rest into hiding. and maybe an army of a few gazillion brave lives to spend over 2 grand years.
So you read this and want to flag me flamebait? I'm surprised that someone manages to sneak in one ages old H2G2 reference and some moderator, just to demonstrate that he/she too knows what its about, decides to mod it up as funny. Instead of encouraging these joke killers you guys should flag them down as "overrated" or "redundant". Seriously guys, where were you in the 70s? Please don't kill Douglas Adams for me, and others.
For those who don't know, Opera has been the browser of choice for embedded platforms like Qtopia because of it speed and small footprint. I'm glad to see its full potential finally realized.
If they were unscrupulous, they wouldn't be using adsense, right? They'd go for flashing banners and "you've won something big" marquees. Cut them some slack will you? Deltas are always in majority. Lets use them.
Exactly what is wrong about a poor blogger making money off a multibillion dollar company that got there in the first place by freeriding on content published by poor web developers?
From the article it sounds like schools that teach the marketable skills are out of their financial reach. If thats the case, it doesn't make sense spending money on the cheaper schools when they provide no real benefit. All you're doing there is allowing them to continue with their useless practices and putting yourself in debt.
Indian education system is a strict meritocracy, unlike USA. IITs and IIMs are as reputed as Princeton, MIT, and Harvard combined yet admission is strictly a result of how well you do in your qualifying exams. Basically the majority of indian students who are receiving inferior education are "inferior" to begin with, where inferiority is subjective solely on performance in entrance exams.
Seriously. If E=mC^2 cannot be patented why should anything else be allowed to be patented? If it wasn't for patents we'd have two different types of telephones, hence revolutionizing telecommunications altogether. Maybe we'd have arrived where we wanted to earlier that way.

How about a RFID network at the MET and MoMA, or any big museum or children's zoo? Heck, before all this happens we'll see RFIDs in driver licenses.

Maybe users who can't tell ads from site images don't deserve such consideration ;)

This is exactly what I've been searching for! Thank you! Thank you!!!
I think he's on his way to completion as well.

"Ubuntu is the most successful distro. Not by accident either."
Care to elaborate?
