But isn't the point of the GPLv2 is that you have to licence the new version using the GPLv2. Or is it just a simpler "release the code with some form of copyleft" condition?
There's no such place as the University of Dublin

It's University College Dublin. Did the submitter even read TFA?
In math, we typically teach younger students how to use a function or expression before we teach them how to prove it (consider it to be the process of giving them the specifications).
In maths, we teach kids who don't have a certain maturity of thought. There are certain ways of thinking that are best drilled into a newbie programmer.
Cinemas don't take 50%, they take a sliding scale, depending on how long the film's been in release. The longer a film has been open, the more of the ticket price the cinema sees. That, and not some ego trip, as an earlier poster suggested, is why the opening weekend is pushed - highest profit margins then.
They'll discover that the phones have a small heating effect, 1 C, as required by a)basic phystics and b)regulations. They will conclude whatever they have already assumed, i.e. that this is dangerous/not dangerous, without any actual experimentation having been done on that particular question.
Doubtless, this will cost me still more karma, but then I've none to lose.
What stupid wanker modded me down (parent post)? Someone asks whether we can edit the interview (GP), and it's +5 funny, but I point out that you actually can (as I said dipshit, click the link) and it's -1? I'm beginning to wonder if we actually deserve the editors we get, given how think some of the supposed nerds on/. are. Sure, an editor passed a perpetual motion machine story, but some plonker was stupid enough to submit it.
You mean my engineering degree was lacking because it didn't teach me that file-sharing is wrong? FFS. While I agree that some brief outline of copyright and patent law would have been welcome, peer-to-peer networking is clearly agenda-driven and off-topic.
Thank God someone else here liked the movie. I thought it got the cast spot on, and kept the feel of the story. People are complaining about a script written mostly by Adams himself.
Not to respond to flamebait, but their fascists are to the left of your lefties.
Gun control is a civil liberties issue in England? I think not. CCTV is a (non-)issue everywhere, and this is probably going to be rejected by the Lords.
The French may have stopped the practice, but AFAIK, the Dutch still have a naming constraint. I'm told that Denis Bergkamp (a famous Dutch footballer) was to be named Dennis, but Dennis wasn't on the approved list. I'm not sure I like the idea, but at least you won't have daft names like so many celebrities.
As for renaming games, it seems like a clumsy attempt at social engineering. Older people will accept games are more than just children's entertainment when there comes a generation of older people with massive problems with arthritis of the thumbs from gaming in their youth/not-so-youth. The reason older people sneer at gaming is because it is relatively new (at least in the sense of being widespread).
While "rendition", "climate change", etc. have helped colour people's opinions on certain issues, I don't think there's any group capable and willing to make an equivalent gaming term widespread enough to have an effect.
the first computer I actually owned was the Commodore 64 (in bold because it was awesome).
You said it. The C64 was my introduction to computers too. I got one for Christmas when I was seven. I was so excited at the prospect of a computer that I got up before half one in the morning to set it up.
...complaints describe efforts by Cobb to shut down or ignore investigations on issues such as a malfunctioning self-destruct procedure
The space shuttle has a self-destruct procedure? Cool. Do they use it if the shuttle gets taken over by giant ants?
Using/. for good? That's crazy talk. The only worth this site has is the ability to obliterate entire servers with a single post.;)
Man, I wish I had mod points. That said, there's no +5,Clever option...
Firefox checks for updates to the extensions automatically. Which is not to say that you can't check for them manually. You're right though, most peons don't tweek anything, no matter how easy you make it. Didn't I read something about a distro of Firefox with a bunch of extensions pre-included?
Exactly - for every Bob who used only visit the NYT site, but now reads lots of others, there is a Dave who used read CNN and now visits the NYT site when Google News links to an article of theirs. Swings and roundabouts.
I forget the title of the book, but Arthur C. Clarke wrote a book or short story where the ability to see anything in the past was possible. I would imagine the themes would be very similar, but I've never read either.
Trupe, tripe, triple? At least the Slashdotters don't repeat themselves. Could the editors do the decent thing and delete the topic. Twice in one week is plenty.

I can't live without the Abe Vigoda Status extension (FYI -- he's alive as of 8:30am US Eastern Time).
I love that one. It saves visiting the webpage.On a more serious note, the Swiss actually have one of the biggest merchant navies going!

Yes. Click on the link!

I was impersonating a Slashdot story, spelling mistakes are a requirement.
Given that the Russians don't use our alphabet, I wouldn't be surprised if your spelling would be acceptable too.

Google? Is it just me, or is this basically a search engine? Pay Google to do it.
Just what does a slashdotting sound like?
Ever hear cats in heat?

My dad's 55 and still hasn't ever used a computer. He just isn't interested, and he doesn't need to.

None of those companies have ever been as big as Google is. You probably couldn't be fired for chosing Google.
