Would a US Credit Agency really reduce the USA's credit rating? Somehow I don't see that happening and all, given the inherent corruption in the US government and financial institutions. I guess it depends which commercial banks have the most clout, the Federal Reserve, Goldman, Citi?
Didn't Jeferson try to kill the federal reserve once?
To clarify, I don't mean make a website and pretend to be the vendor but brand your website as a consultant for that product.
You could use your real name website, John Doe and then have a page called WhizBang Consultancy. "I am an experienced consultant for the WhizBang line of products having 2 years development experience..."
People searching the product name on Google should hopefully find you, you could offer cheaper rates to your ex-employer.
You could start a website using the real product's name and offering professional consultancy and services.
That way you can make money of your old product and stick it to your exploitative employer. You can say you were an ex-developer for the product. That way people could trust you.
Get yourself on Google results for the product's name. You could even have a page explaining why you're not an employee anymore, providing the full story. (Them stealing your code.)
If he used GPL because of a GPL library, then the workplace could not change the licence, it would then be a derivative that needs to be GPL. If they then distribute it like they are doing, it's a violation.
If I were going to buy a smartphone, I would personally buy an Android device even if it was more expensive than an equivalent Apple device. The reason is the ecosystems are slightly different. I can do what I want on Android, that has more value than Idevice.
No, we shouldn't have to pay to get *our* software out there. We're volunteers, we are doing it out of the goodness for our hearts, why should we pay a hardware corporation to distribute open source software?
For any given product line there are different price points.
What you get at each price point depends what you get. When buying a laptop, underneath a certain price point you won't find a dedicated graphics card.
It make complete sense, if you imagine drawing a graph with each point being a price.

That's true. He is also free to continue pushing the GPLed version that has already been released. You cannot retroactively de-GPL code.
Of course if there are patents in play then you can effectively discourage people from using GPL code...

This is why LGPL and the Affero licence exists.
That's ridiculous. The code that I write at home has no bearing on my work place. It belongs to me and soley me unless I choose to licence it.
It is a violation to go from GPL to closed source and distribute it if you do not own the source code in question.
Rent seeking lawyers do not understand code, they should have no place in deciding ownership and property rights.
If I do something at home it does not belong to my employer. If I build a shed in my backyard, that does not belong to my employer.
An employer that does this is exploiting you. Employers will try to get things from you for free if you let them.

Except you pay a premium for that privilege. Buy a non Apple product and you can do it on the cheap.

I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed that. I could only go on reddit a couple of times before I started feeling dumb.
The friendly way to call someone a newcomer is newbie, not noob.
Vegetables are tangible and benefits everyone's lives. Having a supply near you is beneficial.
Credit swaps and and financial trades are intangible and worthless to all those that manipulate them. They also destablize society. Vegetables don't.
It's not genuine value. It produces nothing for society. It's a loophole.
No, he is not a troll, he is right. People do aimlessly follow. Why else was there vandalism and chaos? Look at the student riots in London.
Google's blatant disregard to privacy and the ubiquitous tracking.
CloudFlare is a relative newcomer that seems to be about security.
Hm.
This is why I am using CloudFlare.
Somehow I trust them more than Google.
If you think anarchism is about 'no laws' then you have no idea what you are talking about.
Now you're posting as anonymous. Hehe!
Seems like Apple fanboys have gone through all your posts and modded you down.
You are absolutely correct. I honestly don't understand the Apple religion either.
I am shocked how many people don't understand your original post. It's beyond me why it's marked troll. Maybe it's Apple shills?

You cannot be serious. You just compared suicidal "terrorists" with a data breach? Congratulations you are...
Nevermind. Just imagine what word goes there.
When you have music from video games or independent artists like Tryad and Tomas Dvorak?
Some video games have amazing music. Halo, Knytt Stories, Command & Conquer?
