There is a difference between evil and regrettable. It is regrettable that a company/group who used free software to build a project/company has abandoned the community that gave birth to it. It dos not have to apply fixes you provide, repairs errors you find or continue to develop what you like. I am sure that there will be sighs of regret and possibly even a few who misunderstanding free software, cry harm, but I have not read any.
The software that is in compliance with the gpl or other free license is still available to use, still available to develop, still avail for others to make a project from, and, their (Songbirds) further coding, where it is in compliance with that license, or needs to be, will also be available. This is fantastic.
Maybe someone can make Songfox out of it, so that it no longer uses 130 meg of ram when idle, or index all files every time it starts up.
Lemonade my friends, lemonade.
The linked original article is evidence. I want people who doubt science to never visit a doctor, never ride a car, never fly, they can't watch television, go to the movies, use their phone, use their cell phone. or better banned from using them.
If you want to opine about creation, global warming, science or the use of religious texts to explain carbon dating then I want tests passed about how a cell phone works before you can use one. You have to explain Frequency Modulation before listening to stupid-increasing on-airheads, explain the inherited DNA of mitochondria before being allowed to visit a Doctor.
Booth stopped rotting a long time ago. As such he no longer stinks. Not stinking is hardly enough to be called a patriot. I can think of nothing else to recommend him.
As our sun is spherical, and not turd shaped, as it is the womb from which all non hydrogen elements are born and because it can in no way be said to have a sense of humour, I always assumed dick jokes were unlikely.
I was about to correct myself as to my supposition on who was accurate. They are different one has to correct, and yes its the poster here and not ESO. The diameter is 1000 times our sun.
While I wish I had corrected it first, thanks for the info.
says 1000 times the diameter, of our star. The description on ESO is a very big sun. The post here suggests a whopper a billion times the size of our sun.
I am guessing that the poster here made a transcription error. A little numeracy could go a long way.
1000 times the size != 1000 times the diameter.
1000 times the diameter = 1,000,000,000 times the size.
We dont see life everywhere because we (life forms) get clever enough to release radioactivity into our life envelope, long before we get clever enough to have multiple robust life envelopes. Smart enough make weapons, not wise enough to stop using them.
Or in the common parlance: Glen Beck.
Separately tweenk, we are getting too much carbonic acid in the seawater:
Carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere, a large fraction has dissolved into the ocean, increasing the total amount of dissolved inorganic carbon and shifting seawater chemistry toward more acidic conditions. Since the end of the last century, the amount dissolved CO2 gas ([CO2 (aq)], shown as the red line) has increased because of both the rise in inorganic carbon levels and acidification. Simultaneously there is a decrease in the waterâ(TM)s pH (shown as the blue line), indicating rising acidity, and a decrease in the carbonate ion ([CO3 2- ], shown as the green line), the substance that many marine animals use to build their shells.

This is completely ludicrous!
And its marked insightful! I am completely amazed! It doesnt even make sense! Your facts are not correct and the logic is unsound even if the facts were right.
The law they say he broke, say, is trying to change the law to run again. Not calling a referendum. He has the power to call a non-binding referendum, it is specifically called for in the laws, under the section on Participation.
They say his attempting to hold a non-binding referendum "was an attempt to change the law to run again" as if a non binding referendum was a change of law. Its like arresting soemone for taking a poll.
AM I surprised he was ousted? Yes. Because it was a military coup, with public relations people being paid to fill the internet and lobby congress.
Strip the military government of all aid and re-instate democracy, send the troops back to barracks.
(who had called for an illegal referendum to have term limits removed so he could basically be president for life)
NO he did not. He wanted a non-binding referendum, on a constitutional congress, to be held after the elections in November. It would not have affected his term. He was arrested and deposed, for talking about it, they said.
Since the coup they have come up with more reasons why a military coup was necessary, that sound a lot like Fox News.
And allowing people to run twice or three time or four times means they are Senator Lugar capable of asking the voters if they still want an election. You know like everywhere else. Term limits, even in the US, is very rare. Why this means "basically for life" is beyond me.
Having shot people suspended liberties, imposed curfews and deposed an elected president, they couldn't possibly be lying -- really they would lie?
And why would someone want to rig an election that was announced as not having the force of anything but advice? It was a vote about a "recommendation." Not a referendum that has the force of law like California. Of course, making talking about changing the law illegal surely doesn't say anything about the level of democracy allowed by the elites.
Sorry this sounds like justification after the fact, for world denounced anti-democrats staging a military coup.
Honduras =Iran
Why is hoping the right response? I want source code period. Imagine a person coming into town and saying tell me your vote and Ill make sure it gets passed on. If the code is hidden there is no difference. You have no idea what the stranger will do with your vote, forget it, throw it out, change it to Paultard. Or maybe the code is remembering who voted for who. Or maybe... We have no idea, because we cant see the code!!!
How does a nation that sent boys into bullets to protect Democracy let it be taken away so easily. We have seen massive voter suppression tactics by the Republicans, they and their media ilk have opined in various locations that voters are stupid and always vote wrong, they have a vested interest in stopping voting. Hello.
Yes yes I know Democrats do it too, hehee, thats why you should support efforts to weed out nefarious Democrat tricks,. (Why are the graves in New Orleans always above ground? Its not the water table its easier for the dead to vote)
Yeah "hope we get democracy again real soon."
A net neutrality supporting President will be very very helpful in bringing this forward.
When you think of the number of things that will benefit from a Administration that understands what the stakes are, who support competition and diversity in the media, who oppose concentration, who understand regulation as a protection from overbearing behemoths, its exciting to be waiting.
as the VP. Democrat or Republican.
He lied, to get America into the illegal, disastrous, murderous occupation of Iraq.
No one forgets his appalling display in front of TV cameras, in front of America and in front of the entire world as he lied about Iraqis nuclear program. I don't know how he sleeps at night. The British Medical Professions Journal Lancet says that more than a million Iraqi are dead, tens of thousands of Americans are maimed and more than four thousand are dead.
He lied.
faith in us down here. Look what he says about humans...
"There might be intelligent beings created by God in outer space even if there are none here on earth."
In the foot... Obama leads in actual vote overall by 600,000. After all is said and done last night Obama leads by about 150 Delegates. Before last night, Obama lead by more than 160 Delegates, and 1000 delegates where left to picked, about a third were picked last night. Clinton picked up about 10 possibly 15. Clinton needs =/- 150 delegates from the remaining =/- 660 delelgates available. Obama would need to be kept to about 200 for HRC to win. Meaning she would need, on average, to win roughly 70% of the vote. Although it is not a statistical absolute, I cannot imagine Obama to start getting 30%.
The race is over, Obama has won, except for the ugly fighting that is about to come. Im sure you can see what kind of tactics are about to be launched.

The military. I for one don't welcome our new robot overlords.
Move to linux if you like freedom and privacy, don't if you don't. But "it looks like windows" ???? sheesh, how 1995 can you get.

Terribly true, near typo rushed and so I stand justly corrected.
And Carbolic acid out too, while producing electricity, then we would have the utopia machine.

If she was a man, she would be Dan Quayle
What is the procedure if voters come to the polling station with hammers?
Thanks very much. Talk about blind arrogance.
