No, he popularized "his" version of "free" which really isn't free depending on your perspective. He also did it after Berkeley had already been distributing their software, for free. And, there was software distributed freely long before BSD too.
Duh, the RMS "free" doesn't mean "no cost". Of course there was no-cost software before RMS, like the shareware I bought in the late '80s and early '90s, but "free" in this context means "free" as in "you have the right to use this." It ensures that the software remain open so anyone can use it for any purpose, can change it, repurpose it, sell it, do anything you want with it as long as you pass the freedom along with the software.
There is nothing more free than that. You people who put dollar signs on everything disgust me.
Colliders are built underground, so hurricanes would only affect support structures. NASA seems to not have a hard time operating from Cape Canaveral, right on the ocean where hurricanes hit hardest.
Why do you guys keep reminding me of old jokes, which I'm then compelled to share?
The snake tempts Eve, who shares the apple with Adam before having wild, passionate sex. A while later God walks up and Adam's wearing an apron made of fig leaves.
"You ate the apple, didn't you?" God asks accusingly.
"Uh, yeah, we... uh, well, she kinda talked me into it."
"Ok, where is she?"
"She's down at the river washing up."
God says "Damn, I'll never get the smell out of all those fish!"
Christianity, Islam and perhaps Judaism are about the only people that believe being gay is wrong as far as I can tell. These 3 religions basically worship the same god, and he hates gay people.
God doesn't hate gays, he hates some of the things they do. He hates some of the things you and I do as well. "Being gay" isn't a sin, having sex with another man is, and that's not nearly as bad as having sex with another man's wife. After all, that one's in the "big ten".
I was talking with a lesbian friend who wished she could be straight "so I won't go to hell." I pointed out to her that it was as much of a sin for me to eat her pussy as it was another woman, since we're not married, and pointed out the core tenet of the religion itself, which is your sins are forgiven. All that is required is that you repent. And as I said, gays' sins are no worse than mine.
Some Christians can tell that it's not right to persecute gay people though
The irony is that people persecuting gays are sinning in God's name. Christ himself said "treat others as you would want to be treated." That makes persecuting people a sin.
For one, don't make the background checks more burdonsome, but some gun sales need no background checks. However, that wouldn't have helped in this case because the guns were his mother's. I see her as the guilty party here, she knew he was crazy and should have never let him near a gun. If I were living with a nutball there's no way I'd have firearms in the house.
As to improving mental health care, that would go a long way to stopping suicides, by guns and other methods. Most health insurance doesn't cover mental health, and there are crazy people walking around in pain that should not be in pain.
As to pre-crime, well, if you think someone's about to commit a murder you would be evil not to tell the authorities.
They should move this dumb tradition to the beginning of April. And speaking of dumb predictions, all of my dumb predictions last year came out to be true, even if there was a brain-fart of a typo; I meant Pirate Party, not Pirate Bay.
Hell, a couple months ago I got curious about a childhood friend, someone I haven't seen or talked to in over 20 years. It took about 15 minutes of half-hearted idle searching before I figured out where he lived...
You got lucky. There's a person I've been trying to find for a couple of years, finally gave up. If they're named Galron Metamucil you'll have no trouble finding him, but if he's Andrew Jackson, well, good luck finding the right one.
You can enlighten yourself by googling. Of course, the question then becomes "what does Enlightenment bring that other desktops are lacking?" and "Why would having a desktop bigger than my monitor(s) be a good thing?"
I mostly stick to software, so I'm about as far from an expert as you can get when it comes to radios, but even I know that AM radios can be picked up at these distances
It depends on the frequencies. Short wave and AM radio can be heard around the world because the waves bounce off the stratosphere. The term for this is ":atmospheric skip". Other frequencies, such as TV and FM radio, are limited to line of sight, with the earth's curvature being the limiting factor -- the waves don't skip, they keep going into outer space. It's roughly a hundred miles, although when you're coming down the mountains to the south driving towards St Louis you can hear KSHE from hundreds of miles away because you're so high up that those couple hundred miles are still line of sight. Going North from St Louis the signal starts fading about 75-100 miles away, you can hear it in Springfield, IL on a good day with a good reciever.
I had no problem reading it, since I have two daughters in their twenties. The GP has seldom if ever used a keyboard and does all his writing on a numberpad-only feature phone.
The freeway costs less in gasoline. You'll get about twice the mileage on the freeway as you do in town, depending on how many stop signs and traffic lights there are, how they're timed, and how you drive. When you're at that long red light you're sitting here getting 0 mpg.
My car has an in-dash mileage computer, I get 27-33 on the freeway and 13-20 in the city, depending on lights and traffic.
I don't know why I'm responding since you're AC and won't see it, but if someone else is wondering the same thing, you can hear an FM radio broadcast for a couple hundred miles in some conditions. That radio station has a 50,000 watt transmitter, but the power drops off inversely. By the time it reaches your property it's only milliwatts.
Should not require the user to "become used to it" in order to use it.
Pretty limiting flaw in your logic. If they never change anything, they'd never get better.
If it's improved, then it will work faster, use less memory/disk space, have extra features. "Getting used to" an "upgrade" should never NEVER be "ok, so how do I go about performing that task I've done every day for fifteen years?" It should be "Hey! I didn't have to do this, this, or that, I got it done quicker."
Microsoft has a sorry history of an "upgrade" being no more capable than the previous version, just UI juggling which gives the user a learning curve wothout increased functionality.
That was insightrul, interesting, and informative, thank you. I'd figured they were misguided nuts, I had no idea they were purposely evil.
Secondly, you may notice that all or nearly all of the Phelpses are LAWYERS. In fact, they are all very accomplished tort lawyers and/or law staff. When you look at their history you will see that they ALWAYS sue people that assault them, and they almost always win. They have made MILLIONS off of suing people that attack them for their repugnant views.
Luke 11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 49Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 50That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. 52Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
This is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Freedom Riders. Basically a motorcycle gang that specifically follows the WSBC around whenever they protest a soldier's funeral.
I admire the Freedom Riders, and they're bikers but they're NOT a "motorcycle gang." Motorcycle gangs are organized criminals like the Hell's Angels and The Outlaws. "Gang" as in "James Gang" and "Capone Gane" and "Bloods" and "Crips." The Freedom Riders are not gangsters, they're normal, law-abiding citizens (mostly veterans iinm) who happen to ride motorcycles.
This is why I say that the Phelpses are NOT a Christian church.
Well, whether or not they're a church, Jesus hates what they're doing.
Yep, that way instead of having to explain email to his uncle, he gets to explain DOS
See how stupid that sounds when you turn it around? From the end-user's prospective there is no more "learning Unix" in any modern distro than there is learning DOS commands to use Windows.
As to Open Office, anyone who knows MS office will have no trouble migrating to Oo, especially if they've suffered from an MS Office upgrade.
None of the ten in your list are holes in operating systems; Oracle features prominently. The question is, how many trojans and viruses are there in the wild for the various OSes?
I'll believe MS is concerned with user security when they stop hiding extensions and stop mixing data and code.
Seeing is done in the brain, not the eye. The eye simply measures photons, and the brain corrects for the eye's defects as well as it can. Each eye has a blind spot, but the brain simply ignores it. The same goes for motion blur.
I haven't given a lot of thought to 48fps except that I was under the impression it was to make 3D versions better - clearer and brighter, due to counter the effects of the glasses (cutting 50% of the light). What I've read so far is that it makes the characters look 'plastic-y' like straight to video does.
The higher FPS shouldn't make it much brighter, nor should it make things look "plasticky". I really doubt TFA's writer knew what he was talking about. What the increased film speed does do is to reduce motion blur by half, and you'd want that if you had a lot of panning, especially quick panning.

There is no dark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it's all dark. Well, that's what Floyd told me anyway.
Something smells like fish.

First IBM's predictions, now Woz's. Arent you suppost to get the crysal balls out after Christmas?
BTW, there's little if any in TFA that isn't in TFS. Very short FA that can be boiled down to "data center."
I run Linux because I can't afford a Mac and I'm not a masochist.
