I just don't understand why a creative group of people would limit their creative range. I mean, if Michelangelo had said "screw it, I'm just doing sculpture," we would never have had the Sistine chapel ceiling, right?
I think you're overly into the semantics. You can take something in more senses than theft, and it's his code because he's the one in charge of it. Now go fight people who actually disagree with you.
Isn't it obvious that a business would wait until the new system is firmly established before beginning the costly and time-consuming task of upgrading and retraining (to whatever extent that's necessary)?
No you may not. We (the community) are losing right now. Doing better and better, but still losing and losing pretty hard. We need to take what we can get. Baby steps, man, baby steps.
We do allow animal sacrifices: i _Babalu_Aye_v._City_of_Hialeah>. I agree that we should let the mormons do their thing, quite honestly, and the human sacrifice only isn't allowed because it trespasses on other people's equally important rights - in this case the right not to be sacrificed. Free in this context is always understood to be freedom of self, not freedom to do absolutely anything with impunity. <br> Your statement that we do not have freedom of religion, then, is totally false. Hell, we even have radical anti-American religions preaching violence on our own soil, and we don't do anything about them - and as long as they're not hurting anybody, nor should we. And in the same way, you should leave these Christian Fundimentalists alone because they're not doing anything to hurt you. Whether they're right or wrong is immaterial.
Why could God not create a constant speed of light?
I find it highly amusing how very dogmatic and knee-jerk the reaction to creationism is amongst the self proclaimed intelligentsia. I don't particularly approve of this museum (I think that if you believe in miracles, trying to explain them as science is a contradiction in terms), but good grief, get a hold of yourselves. Just look at how the normally reputable Ars launches into a pointless and irrelevant ad hominem attack at the end, seemingly out of spite.
And while you're not exactly right that this could only happen in the US, it is one of the few places where people are allowed, unafraid, and unashamed to practice religion. It's not like they're making you go to it! Come on people, deep breaths.

I'll thank you not to get your "facts" in our environmentalism!
Live by Anti-trust litigation, die by anti-trust litigation.
I knew somebody would mention this, but I think the point stands anyway. I mean, he didn't try to get out of it by doing a bad job, at least.

To celebrate the winner, may I suggest free beer?
We still know what we already knew. Tonight I can finally sleep easy!
is to constantly fight about it amongst ourselves. That'll do the trick.
Life. The observant parent will keep their child shielded until about the age of 47.
that this is pretty much the standard for post Geneva Convention POWs.

Well, that's the beauty of open source, right? We can all say "Screw this guy" and take his code and make it better.

Ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die - except for watching your language die.
No you may not. We (the community) are losing right now. Doing better and better, but still losing and losing pretty hard. We need to take what we can get. Baby steps, man, baby steps.
