Try makeing any untoward comments about your almighty presedent, and how to depose him (violently or otherwise) and then see where your constitution gets you....
Rubbish. Millions of people, famous and average, have said, openly and freely, that he is a bad president. They were not punished for it. Thousands of people have suggested that he should be impeached, openly and freely, and they have not been punished for it. Some people have even said that he should be murdered, and despite the fact that that would probably get you in trouble if you were talking about someone else, they were not punished for it.
The main (but certainly not only) reason Linux is so secure is that people just don't bother exploiting it.
That's not true. Linux has a significant market share for servers (%30, I believe). It is hard to exploit.
The reason Linux/BSD/OS X is more secure than Windows is because security was a larger factor in its design. It is very difficult to secure a huge software product that wasn't designed to be as secure in the first place.
The neighbor next to you puts up a bunch of tall trees that block your view?
How does that happen? If your view is in the direction of your neighbor, his house is already in the way. Beyond that, putting up enough tall trees to block a view would cost a ton, if it is even possible. Builders complain about putting in 8 foot trees.
How is this worthless? It allows you to share music with other Zune users in the vicinity, which seems to be the intended purpose. If these were popular, it would be a very nice feature.
Why should the U.S. allow foreign companies to suck money out of the U.S. economy, and then not even pay taxes back to the U.S.?
Because it is the people's money, and the people are actively choosing to send it out, even at their own loss. Supposedly, we have a government of the people.
GPLv3 is what the FSF is pushing as their new Free software license. It is supposed to be "more free" than GPLv2. In this case, that "extra freedom" is bad, because it makes it harder to control what software is on the voting machine.
If you've got 10,000 identical sets of hardware, then one final compiled version of the software can be used on all of them.
Yes, it can. But, without some system in place, the people setting up the machines can mess with the source code and compile and install their own.
Free software isn't any better for this. Yes, anyone can analyze the official source code, but not one can see the source code that was compiled and installed on any given machine by a technician. With proprietary software, a company is responsible for a given build of their software, not some random technician who happened to take a permanent vacation the next day.
Now, you can make Free software just as good by requiring specific builds with authorizations keys and what not to install on voting machines, but I am under the impression that would violate the GPL v3. Thanks Richard Stallman!
The parent poster just fixed his math, and now it seems only.9 tons of 750GB HDs would be need to achieve 14 tbps. So a 40 ton truck could get about 600 tbps ! 100 trucks would be 60 pbps! That is 3,000 LoC/s!
Yeah, DVD's wouldn't work well, but consider using 750GB HDs. It would only take three of them to hold that much data. Using your math, that would mean ~15,000 hard drives for a 100 mile / 70mph trip. That's around 9 tons. So maybe 4 cars.
A large truck can be over 40 tons. So you could get up to about 60 tbps.
Even if the fool unlocks all of your door and windows and invites criminals over, and the person out to get you sells a dinner plate you already own, but claims it is higher quality?
First, I'll pretend your extremely exaggerated Godwin-esque analogy was less so.
So you're saying that using a free program that can be used to buy DRMed music is evil, because DRMed music is evil? Well, I'm sure you'll agree that hacking into other people's computers is bad. And yet, you use a computer. And a computer can be used to hack into a computer.
But the wealthiest 2% can't stand innovation because it is a direct threat to their wealth. They go to Washington and legislate innovation away.
First of all, most of them are pretty secure in their wealth.
Taking something extant and making it better is certainly innovation, and it's the kind that really produces great things. Think of a good technology product. OS X/Desktop Linux/iPod/IBM-PC/etc. None of these were the first of their kind.

That's what they all say.
One-time pad encryption has been mathematically proven to be unbreakable. It also takes little computing power.
None of them are designed for, nor are they very good at, making money off of the software for the developers.

Do you expect to get free music from everyone? It provides a convenient way to share music with nearby people.

What he is saying is that they are less likely to waste all of their money gambling, and as such will be less affected by these laws.
Yes, it can. But, without some system in place, the people setting up the machines can mess with the source code and compile and install their own.

And chances are, it would be just as nonsensical as this.
It's similar to "AIMBOTZ!" and "HAX" in online gaming.
I, as a rat, must say that your comparison is utterly sickening, and that any moderators should give you -1 for this evil hate speech.
Really? I doubt it, since there are plenty of licenses exactly like BSD.

It is a lot easier to get the statistics for the U.S. than the entire world.
