The GPL is designed to short-circuit copyright and subvert it against itself, so there really is no hypocrisy. In both cases, the "slashdotter" you're complaining about is railing against copyright.
The preservation of totalitarian communism was the motivating factor here, not a devotion to atheism as an ideology. Religion was a threat to totalitarian communism, and was purged in the name of totalitarian communism.
i didn't notice the lone pine thing till i was a teenager, possibly due to the fact that up till that point i thought old man peabody was shouting "you'll kill mankind!":D
It's "don't be evil", the subtle difference being, I assume, that you can get away with "doing" a certain amount of minor evil things without "being" evil in general.
There is no point or benefit to playing a video game at all, other than for entertainment value. If the acheivement system increases a player's level of entertainment, then it is just as valid and the rest of the game.
If you don't find it entertaining, that's fair enough, but there are plenty of people that do.
I love it how simple-minded tech geeks, usually IT guys, programmers and even people who should know better like electrical engineers, think that the internet is more complex than the human body..
I love it how you think that the moon is made of cheese. Oh you don't? Ah that must be because I just made up some bullshit strawman to make a point.
t if the words convey consistent meanings across the translations, or the precise meaning is determinable by further analysis,
They don't and it isn't. Otherwise there wouldn't be X thousand variants of christianity, lots of them wildly differing from others.
because you noted it's a religious text that's being discussed?
The book itself claims to single itself out as the innerant, unalterable word of an omniscient intelligence. Yet the many variants by definition contain countless alterations, many of them mutually exclusive which implies that, at best, all but one variant must be in error.
This isn't merely a case of necessary finessing of the text to fit another language. If that were true there would only be one English version, one Latin version, but even within single languages there are many contradictoriy variations.
This is to be expected of independant translations and interpretion of a book originally authored by a human, over which the long dead original author has no control - but if the book itself contends to be the absolute truth imparted by an omniscient, omnipotent author, preserved in immaculate innerrancy by his own intervention across the millenia, it really ought to be looking infintely more consistant than it does today.
It's just a crap shoot each time - everyone who encounters a problem says "this is the worst release ever" and everyone who doesn't proclaims it a work of perfection. Guess this is why the plural of anecdote is not data. Luckily I have enough chops to rectify upgrade problems when they occur, so it isn't an issue either way for me.
