Copyrights should be unaffected by the authors death (or at leat not immediately terminated).
Say that I write a magnificent work of fiction (or symphony, or whatever). The steady income from this and other works of art is enough to sustain me and my family for the forseeable future.
Then, 2 years later, I get hit by a bus.
Christopher has done a lot of work with Tolkiens other stories about Middle Earth. I'm sure that Jackson read most of these, and that they contributed to the visual rendition of Middle Earth in the triology.
Besides, JRRT wrote the story for his children in the first place. So it kinda seems fair that they get a cut of the profits:p
If you lock the door with a standard-type key (the numbered kind that everyone can buy, or you can jimmy with a screw-driver), it's still both a crime and wrong to unlock it and take everything you can find.
All the auto generated code is boring, boilerplate stuff that you could easily write by hand if you for some sadistic reason wanted to.
Have a look at a moc_*.cpp file some time, it's not rocket science. But I'm glad I don't have to remeber the order of the (integer) values in the meta data array - moc generates it automatically.
Oh stop whining.
If you pay for QT, you get very good terms for redistribution and tailoring. If not, take what you get and be happy, or use WxWidgets instead. Really.
Of course developers don't hold users in contempt - they probably use the software themselves. And they use the command line all the time -- it's not broken for *their* "desktop use".
For a lot of projects, the developers just arn't interested in pleasing Joe Shmoe, but they will probably let you do it.
This is open source!
If you want applications to be more friendly to the average windows user, start working. And I don't mean sending troll emails to developer lists, I mean rolling up your sleeves and changing the software.
Unless the document claims to be ODF 1.2, I fail to see a problem.
I mean, part of the point of having an open document format is that I can open my ODF1.1 documents in 50 years, right?
Well, if the error is about code that you will use...
Imagine that you use some 3rd party library that includes code for caching to disk. Since you know you can't write to disk on the AppEngine, you disable caching in the configuration. But the UnsatisfiedLinkError is still there.
Here in Norway sending an SMS was approx. $0.15 five-six years ago. Today it's as low as $0.03 - depending on plan of course.
Receiving has always been free, AFAIK.
And Norway is supposed to be a really expensive country. All that crap about US telcos must be true =)
The SMS system is kinda outdated though -- on new years eve, messages are often delayed for 30 minutes or more - I've gotten a 'happy new year' as late as 1:20
No, the set of images is huge, because the server will crop some random border width off of it each time -- image url or image hash will be useless to identify it. The bot would have to compare images with its own known labeled set one by one.

Or better, get 30-40 indie artists to donate one song each.

Not nessescarily.
I've been counceled to carry a verified copy of my passport, and keep the original in the hotel safe, in case of a mugging.

An excellent quote, but it doesn't really the problem.
An exellent response, but it doesn't really anything.
Well, a game like Deus Ex (which is a GREAT game) could have benefitted enormously from the player being able to, say, create a new door with some c4.
Crime fighting is funded by (normal) taxes. White-collar crime fighting is funded by my income tax, not a special tax on stock or bond trading.
So, internet based crime should be treated in the same way.
Your issues evolve CSS and Javascript? :(
My issues never push web technologies forward
They can even put a link to their views on wikipedia, and nobody will remove it. Only, it'll say that it's THEIR views.
Extensions doesn't break _my_ package manager - they install in my ~/.mozilla, as they should (except that it should be $XDG_DATA_DIR/mozilla).
KnoScript? Please, that's so 2 years ago. Now it's called "Halogen".
Maybe it's got less to do with showing them the error of their ways, and more to do with providing a REAL alternative?

Mergh. Rant off.
Btw, some projects focus on usability.

Well if they follow the tradition of 'gwit', it would be 'gape'.

I was joking -- but do you really think that it was the common workers who ran the Soviet states?
Dude, the dictatorship of the prolitariat.
Duuuuh.
