So they are not free, because they encourage the freedom to use proprietary software, which is one of those "bad freedoms" according to the FSF? That is ridiculous zealotry.
Good thing you clarified with that example! Your subject and "zero gravity envrionment" led me to believe you were talking about Wisconsin.
Oh, and how do you plan on transporting the energy back to earth? Lithium ion batteries so huge, when they spontaneously combust, they destroy the earth? I heard GM is building some for the ecoHummer, so they shouldn't be too hard to get.
Okay then, I'll take your place in becoming a billionaire.
Do you honestly think there is some conspiracy to squash alternative energy? Perhaps it hasn't replaced fossil fuels because: A)Solar and wind don't provide enough power. B)Hydrogen takes more energy to make than it produces. C)Nuclear is dangerous, and has far more dangerous (though more manageable) pollution. D)Hydro electric won't provide enough power. E)Hot fusion isn't yet practical. F)At this time, cold fusion hasn't been proven to be possible.
I accept your second point, and begin working on it. I'll upload the changed source code for the plant's DNA on sourceforge. I must argue your first point.
Black tea is red. You could call it brown, but you could also call GNU, Unix.
White tea isn't brown at all.
Green tea isn't either.
Oolong tea isn't and has a respectable amount of caffeine.
I wonder if there will be any protesters shouting "BSD, BSD, DOWN WITH LINUX, BSD, INTEGRATION, BSD, SECURITY, BSD, CODE QUALITY, BSD, TRULY FREE CODE, BSD, BSD, DOWN WITH GNU, BSD, DOWN WITH RECURSIVE ACRONYMS, BSD, BSD, WINE IS AN EMULATOR, BSD, BSD".
Or if someone insults someone else's text editor. "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT vim? I DON'T NEED AN ENTIRE OS FOR A TEXT EDITOR! OR A BROKEN PINKY!" "HEY YOU, WIMPY VIIMACS USERS, ed PWNS YOU ALL. IF YOU NEED MORE THAN A "?" FOR OUTPUT, YOU ARE TEH SUCK""EMACS CAN RUN vim AND ed FOOLS!" Then someone will break out a beowulf cluster of Linux flame-throwers.
Tea has caffeine, and isn't always brown. And who do they think they are, regulating caffeine? It is what makes software development possible! They need to do a protest at this Linux Symposium.
The parent poster obviously forgot that the internet is not a truck, and he filled up the series of tubes that make it up. It is a good thing ISPs are cracking down on this, because it recently took 5 days for an internet to arrive when someone sent it to me.
1.b)They probably are smart enough to distinguish, and smart enough to know if they raised prices, FIOS would likely come to your area.
4. Port 80 is the standard http port, so they will certainly count it.
Yes, a stray dog may be dangerous, but your dog will not be, if you treat it well. A snake will be potentially dangerous no matter what, because they are not domesticated.
Snakes are stupid compared to many animals. They slither around and eat. Dogs save people, and guide the blind, and herd animals etc. Cats have enslaved humanity to their care. Horses carry us around. Sharks have laser beams on their heads.
Your cat may not be nice, but it is cute and fluffy. The snake is scaled and slithery. And it has no personality, unlike most cats.
They have no qualm with harming a person. Maybe they normally see no reason to, but they would if they felt like it. Yes, a nonvenomous bite won't kill you, but it won't feel good, either.
My phobia? Fear of dangerous, potentially deadly, things? I'm not all that afraid of snakes, I just don't like them or think this whole "respect, don't fear" thing is particularly reasonable. I respect dogs because they are loyal, caring, intelligent pets, and cats because they have managed to manipulate the human race into feeding and sheltering them, and putting up with their lack of caring.
Please note that I am at 1, Troll. That is a good troll. Or at least neutral. True neutral? I guess trolls can't be lawful. So I am a chaotic neutral troll. Chaotic neutral always seemed like "insane" to me. So I am an insane troll.
Plus I've got a karma bonus. With great power comes great responsibility, and all that. But who gave an insane troll great power and expected him to wield it with responsibility? Probably the same moderator who rated me a troll because he failed to read the post I was responding to. Which brings us back to my point about myself being an insane troll rather than an evil one.
Gorgeous? Well, you're entitled to your opinion, on that, but you could just have a picture. No mantienence! Facinating? They slither around, eat, and shed. Wow. Require little care or expense? So you can get snake food easily? So when then do something wrong, e.g. get out of your home, people won't be scared and will just act like it's a dog? What about when they bite someone? They can't be impossible. They must scare guests.
Fish meet all of those categories as much or more so than a snake, and are not generally dangerous, expensive, or hard to take care of.
Why should they be respected? They are stupid, unpleasant, dangerous creatures. All they do is slither around and eat. And you can't even eat them.
They should be feared because they are often very dangerous.
No. Most natively speak English and are too lazy to correct their spelling and grammar. That, and most don't have universal spell checking a la Mac OS X.
The most overworked nation in the world? Including third world countries? Or do you mean we don't have ridiculous amounts of state-enforced vacations? Perhaps that is why we are the most productive.
They will always pay for their health care, whether it taken out of their money by them, their employer, or their government. There is something to be said for employers getting bulk discounts, but there are also advantages for allowing workers to choose for themselves. It is best to let people choose amongst themselves which one they want.
If you want to work very hard, do long hours, and make a lot of money, that is your choice. Or you can make less money and have more free time.
People commonly said that libertarians support X, when they really don't support government requiring Y. They would have people freely choose amongst themselves.
But if you only do one thing very well, and that becomes obsolete (not rare in technology), you can't do anything of value. It is best to be competent in many areas and excel in one.
In the original post: O is real. C is real. D is not real. O needs D. O is not used because there is no D so C is used.
In you post: O is D. O is real, but despite their being the same thing D is not. Problem #1. C is real. O and D are the same thing, somehow dependent on each other. Problem #2. O is not used because it is real but it is not real. Problem #3. C is used.
A better web based OS could be made by allowing people to ssh into a computer running emacs. Then you'd have a full fledged OS, instead of a limited one like this. Plus, if you added vim, you would have a good text editor.
All you have to do is put a browser in the Web OS, then you can log into it with it's own browser, and log in to it again with the browser inside it inside it inside your browser, until your head explodes.
Just because someone opposes the government forcefully taking their money to fund an inefficient, ineffective, dependency-creating social program does not mean they are greedy. I suspect that Republicans and Libertarians willingly donate to private charities, or other, similar programs, as much as or more than Democrats. It may just be that they don't like doing it with a gun to their head and half of it being wasted.
Just because someone is not fully trusting of the motives of government does not make them an "Area 51 fanatic", although there seems to be a lot of that fanaticism on Slashdot.

No. They were trying to cheaply make quality hydrogen.

Vancouver? When I was there, a fishing guide described a 3 million dollar house in Vancouver as a "shack".

No, it isn't. You generally can't agree to "half-way write a program" for half as much money.
Well... you're stupid!

Uh, your analogy is broken, please debug and try again.
