The difference is that the former proposes software as a service (hourly wage) while the latter proposes software as a product (paid by x units sold). That is because the first promotes code for everyone while the latter promotes IP (or code as creative work).
The original argument holds that IP is wrong despite the think about the children clause.
So choice is good? Then Linux provides as much or more than the above market giants.
I have cash but choose to run Linux on all my boxes. Professionally, I support Mac and Win users. The majority does not know they even have a choice. In fact, they all seem to think they don't.
I run Linux because its open strategy means I can do whatever I need to, easier than on OSX and Windows.
The problem with MAD is that it places a lot of trust in very few hands.
It creates an environment where you have to be strategic first and truthful later. As such it undermines the efforts towards lasting peace. It creates more distrust not less.
You can attack someone mercilessly because you know they can't risk nuclear war. MAD is the opposite of peace. It has never prevented war, just postponed it.
There must be some other way based on mutual understanding and vision of a better future.
I listened to the same CCC podcast (granted, my German is shaky) but I got the notion that this law is a remnant of property law pre internet.
It's the same thinking that you need to secure dangerous holes in the publicly accessible pavements/sidewalks/ roads? on your property.
Thus, the law was not intended to police open Wi-Fi networks and should be relatively easy to change. Try changing the same law that intends to do harm...
The two things lacking in LibreOffice are a better Presentation app (current one works great if you only use LO) and more advanced financial macro stuff (current works great if you're not an econ major).
When I have to do a presentation, I export to PDF. Guaranteed same experience across platforms.
MS word is crap. It's the only Text processor that corrupts its own documents beyond repair (regardless of correct use of templates, which few users do). The remedy? Open up the proprietary document in LO writer and save it.
Exactly. People that didn't have to roll out XP SP1 machines don't know what a catastrophe XP was until SP2 (acceptable in SP3).
I had a user who deleted the manifests folder because it was marked as a virus. Next reboot, no GUI (just pixel puke) and no safe mode. XP was broken until SP2.

I always used MANUAL MEMORY MANAGEMENT to enable CAPS LOCK AT ALL TIMES.
What is the global SI-Standard for anticipation?
50 shades of gay?
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
I still play Homeworld in Wine. Works great!
And, of course, the alien interbreeding.
Occam's razor.
The similarities are many and core samples from the bottom of the sea (lake) confirm a flooding event.
This story survived because it is DIFFERENT than all the ice-melting stories we forgot. Drama lama.
Also, the Greeks' ancestral daddy was the same Noah character.

I don't know any passage in Nietzsche's work that would support being a dick.
Nietzsche wasn't without ethics, he just proposed that ethics be based on human nature as revealed by psychology.
But hey, who cares about facts and stuff?
After finding out about extensions in Gnome 3, I find it kind of awesome.
There should be a native app to apply them though, in addition to the website.
Nay. "None shall pass!"

Where I work, everyone wearing suits wants to be bosses, everyone wearing loose shirts and baggy pants just want to get the job done.
So where's the culture where women prefer chubby IT-consultants with neck beards?
Don't' tell me. Millions of years into the future!?
And proper backup!
Let's not lose focus here, sheesh!

Laws are not made in a vacuum.
Also, the Unity interface is gargantuan.
Dude, I watched that episode like three days ago.
I like that.
" It's like a dinner party for sysadmins and geeks who'd rather be a Wood elf or a dwarf."
But the problem is just as much software as it is hardware, so you're gonna need Windows ME on that hog.
... Cuba..

Profit!
(Srsly though. The Day Z mod proves just how wrong this argument is.)
It's called Windows 9.
