Great video, I love how that guy comes out with the card board box, Honda has "men in blue" vs "men in black".

It's obviously possible for game developers to target Cadega, the article itself doesn't discuss anything more than frame rate. Personally, I think wine and derivitives are a PITA. It's not a matter of if something works or not, it's a matter of "will this button work" or "will this room render properly" or "do I mind my character rendered as a sprite with a black background", it's all a big PITA. *IF* Wine's codebase was actually targeted by the developers (simple flag ie if (windows) do this elseif (!windows) do that) then things could really get rolling.
Reminded me of the nuclear generator on a watch from the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov. Makes me wonder about how long these things can operate before they fail.
I don't care about your work, it will fail. Proprietary software fails all four core concepts in economics, it's a pipedream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics#Core_concep ts It's like fiat money except, comparatively, very few people have a vested interest in keeping it afloat. The proprietary software industry as a whole may simply be decreed (in court) as worthless at any time. It's a naturally occurring service industry, and software vendors are selling cdr's marked up several million times, this will not hold the test of time. So, go ahead drown in your tar pit, I could give a damn. The FSF will go through your work and learn from it, as well as the rest of the community, many will implement licenses influenced by both your work and the FSFs, and it will happen overnight. The FSF should worry about your work not me. Bruce Perens is responding to your claims and he has every right to do so. In effect there is an army of lawyers working on GPLv3, they are your opponents not Bruce, myself or anyone in the community, targeting us is what makes your work FUD.
Thanks ACT, for providing criticizim at such an early stage, providing an opportunity to review the GPLv3 before release. Thank you for the increased public attention.
Allowing the FSF to defend GPLv3 against FUD early in the game simply makes it less likely that people(customers) will be affected by FUD at a later date after GPLv3 has been deployed.
...rap is for idiots without jobs or a real culture.
Um, poverty is a real culture. I grew up with a single mom that probably messed with drugs a bit more than she should have. Then I messed around with drugs more than I should have. I grew up in poverty and through a lot of hard work I've gotten a college education and so has my sister. The fact that we are all where we are today doesn't for an instant mean that we can't identify with music that targets those living in a "self perpetuating cycle of self-inflicted poverty and crime". The culture of poverty even the culture of crime is about improving your situation. I know it may not seem like it from the outside looking in, but drug addiction and crime are both things that many people do in order to improve their situation if only for a short time. Eating is better than not, getting high is better than jumping off a bridge. Other issues are highly emotional, it's hard when a child or relative dies because you cannot afford proper medical treatment, it's hard when someone becomes an alcoholic rather than a moderate drinker, it's hard when your parents argue every night because of bills, it's hard for people who are black and cannot afford a train ticket in order to look for work. You sit on a high horse claiming that this music contributes to the problem, when you do this you take focus away from the real problems, like drug addiction, lack of education, lack of jobs and a general lack of hope a lot kids face every day. You also apply a double standard when you don't say the same of art like Tom Sawyer, Gangs of New York, and many other stories, movies and songs that stretch back to the begining of man.
The fact that people like Bin Laden came from wealthy families, not poor ones, would seem to at least partially substantiate the theory that you can't just give radicals a house, a car, and a front lawn, and suddenly transform them into happy little proto-Americans.
I tend to think that people like Bin Laden are politicians and will garner the interests of the people no matter what. If his people were financially stable, I think his line would either be considered extremist or his tune would be different. At the end of the day most people just want the best possible future for their children, the religious aspect will be there, but we in the US have reached a very high degree of apathy, I don't see why that can't be done elsewhere.

bob - Bill have you called the police?
bill - Of course bob, they hanging up.
bob - What? Call again.
bill - Damnit bob I sound like a chipmunk, you call this time.
I hate to think of how this kind of a mix up just convinces certain people even more of their anti-science prejudices.
People with "anti-science" prejudices, are generally not the type that will appreciate a replication of the big-bang. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton more importantly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_Boson the Higgs boson particle is being sought in order to prove large portions of string theory.
A suggestion to discuss/.s moderation system is considered inciting a flamewar?
I guess the moderators aren't reading the articles, funny I always click the context or article link.
No skin off my back it's not like the article didn't bring the moderation system under fire. Of course this will probably be modded off topic or some other crap.

Yea, like I said it's called "vendor lock-in".
Yep, it's called "vendor lock-in".
Asside from that, yeah I hear you.

The idea is very similar just in a 3 Dimensional format. A giant cube on land for wind and/or some kind of dragnet for the ocean.
So, we could fill the ocean with these things then right, or maybe a field, hmm, I wonder if they float.

"pounded into me that education == better life" That's all my mom ever did, she didn't beat me, she just didn't shut up, never ever gave up.

I am not a lawyer, go argue this with a lawyer, leave me alone. Charge me with anti-trust and you can talk to my lawyer. Otherwise stfu!

Captcha (warped text) will probably remain for a long time. This OCR has more practical uses when applied to text that is meant to be legible.

That was thoroughly brilliant, I applaud you!
The socialpolitical aspects though... Makes me wonder if he was deaf, dumb and blind.
Are you saying "he sure played a mean pinball"?
