Ms. Lam-Bettie made her statements on AusCERT 2007, which was held from the 20th to the 25th of _May_ 2007.
Apparently here statements where in reaction to Free Software Foundation's Brett Smith, who appears to have said:
[Under GPLv3,] if you arrange to provide patent protection to some of the people who get the software from you, that protection is automatically extended to everyone who receives the software, (...) This means that the patent protection Microsoft has extended to Novell's customers would be extended to everyone who uses any software Novell distributes under GPLv3,... Emphasis mine.
To make a long story short: It's the middle of July and Brett Winterford didn't have anything written, but he did have a dead-line.
Sure, I can see it now:
"Why is your desk such a mess?"
"Clean up that hard drive!"
"No, it is not funny to do a DSMC of a penis, not even a 10 meter long one."
You forgot to mention Christopher Columbus's theory that the earth is round... Oh wait I know why. Because he used the Bible as his inspiration when the rest of the so called "Intelligent" people of the world said it was flat. Isaiah 40:22
Wikipedia doesn't agree with you. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus
Following Washington Irving's myth-filled 1828 biography of Columbus, Americans commonly believed Columbus had difficulty obtaining support for his plan because Europeans thought the Earth was flat.[3] In fact, few at the time of Columbus's voyage, and virtually no sailors or navigators, believed this.[4] Most agreed Earth was a sphere. This had been the general opinion of ancient Greek science, and continued as the standard opinion (for example of Bede in The Reckoning of Time) until scholars misread Isidore of Seville to say the earth was a disk, inventing the T and O map concept. This view was very influential, but never wholly accepted. Knowledge of the Earth's spherical nature was not limited to scientists: for instance, Dante's Divine Comedy is based on a spherical Earth. Columbus put forth arguments based on the circumference of the sphere.
About Isaiah 40:22 (New International Version from http://www.biblegateway.com/):
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
I don't read into that, that the Bible says the Earth is a sphere.
About Isaiah 40:22 (New International Version from http://www.biblegateway.com/):
This is what God the LORD says--
he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
So if you equate "stretching" with expanding, why did you need two verses when one would have sufficed?
Let's be honest here, nowhere in these chapters of Isaiah is a statement of scientific fact you so hopelessly crave.
Indeed, the designer is intelligent......That is by the way, what you are suggesting. That entire paragraph is circular reasoning. You state: "It is so, so that we can exist the way we do." I would propose the following: "If it were different, then we would be different." As a side note, why can't I see the near infrared spectrum, didn't God think it could be useful for me to look through walls?
I would like to leave you with the following: If the existence of God can be proven, can you still call it "faith"?
They both installed shit on their users computers, without their consent, which made the system less secure. Now, which company apologized for doing that?
Exactly, it doesn't even matter if he could make Ubuntu fly loops on his laptop, or had it serve coffee in 45 seconds. Since he should care if his staff can (cost-effectively) support it. Who gives a flying f*ck if it took him n hours to figure out how to play MIDI files. The question should be if his staff can make it work, and if they can do it faster the second time around.
...and use less "polluting" technology in the future.
Why do you assume that technology needs to be more advanced? In case of satellites: just budget additional propellant to de-orbit (/move to a rapidly decaying orbit) at the EOL. This is exactly why these societies should inter-operate better, they would be more effective in providing a different viewpoint to the industry. Why spend your money on an Magnetic-Anti-Debris-Shield (patent pending), when you can clean up after yourself for a fraction of the cost.
One of my teachers on the subject had a quote, with which he started the year.
We live in an extraordinary time; before us space flight was not possible because technology had not advanced far enough; after us space flight will not be possible because of all the junk we leave in earth orbit.
I've forgotten who it is from and I've probably mangled it.
My point: unless we design the 'end of life' for our satellites better and design our rockets to not leave their upper stages in orbit, this debate will be a fond memory someday. In that light, the suggested cooperation between the various societies can only be applauded.
How exactly would you envision that? More self reflection? A more humane Voldemort? Perhaps an unwed unemployed mother, living on state benefits, mixed up in the plot? Or do you mean "depth" as in: a precise description of the fictional physics involved?
Rarely does an airplane back into the side of a mountain. Because the mountains move aside when they hear that beeping sound and see the flashing lights?
Don't worry, in about 50 years J.K.'s kids, realizing they've run out of money, will scrape together every note, post-it and grocery list she ever wrote. They'll jumble it all up, put it in a nice wrapper, and publish it as an original work. Then you'll find out how Harry's story ends.

The AC might be a bit blunt, but life is just to short for this sort of bickering.
The stars say: "you must be new here".
Sure, I can see it now:
"Why is your desk such a mess?"
"Clean up that hard drive!"
"No, it is not funny to do a DSMC of a penis, not even a 10 meter long one."
Yeah, that would be so much better.

Send a PDF for nice printing, and copy the text in your e-mail. If they still ask for a different version, don't accept their job offer.
They might want to help people pay their mortgages then.
