You are reading too far into his post. All he said was that it doesn't: "[make] you wonder. was he being an asshole about microsoft and money just so that he could have more to give now?"
We know this isn't the case because "He started giving money away because his dad yelled at him about not giving anything back." ie: that was not his original plan, as the OP was wondering.
And both groups of people screaming bloody murder would be humourless dicks who can't take a joke.
Seriously though, who actually needs to use google maps to find the Lincoln Memorial? It's probably the easiest thing in a city to find in any city in the US. Last time I went to DC I was twelve and I'm confident I could still do it...
When did preventing that become the job of the FS? File permissions work just fine in any linux FS I've tried. Besides that what more do you expect to be done?
"Retarded" is unquantifiable, but assuming suitable materials were found, the physics for a space elevator turn out to be rather easy to work out. Most of the work that's pushing towards space elevators right now is in materials development, something everyone benefits from. Exactly what is so bad about all of this?
Home schooling is becoming more and more popular, and one of the reasons is how completely disconnected from reality home schooling makes you.
FTFY
There are of course exceptions, your standard "both my parents were engineers" situations where the kids are actually better off, but from what I can tell in this area (Centralish/Eastern Pennsylvania) home schooling generally is used as a brainwashing tool by fundamentalist parents. It gives them control over the child's social and intellectual development allowing them to mold the child as they see fit.
Of course you'll always hear: "but those children are still required to pass state tests!", which is true. It is also largely meaningless. The child may be learning mathematics and chemistry just fine, but that doesn't mean that damage is not being done.
I'm genuinely baffled as to how my comment could possibly be interpreted as supporting Apple. Generally I'm the one hurling mud at Apple if I can smell even the slightest chance to do so...
huzzah composition words. A mental combination of queue (to line up) and cue (as in, "to trigger an action") I suppose. Interestingly either of those could have worked well enough.
Que the standard partisan trolls screaming about how the government should "keep their hands off of the free market". Remember folks, before posting make sure to conveniently forget that the current state of affairs is anything but a free market, and that telephone companies have been common carriers for years without the foundations of freedom this country was supposedly built on crumbling. (well, at least not because of that...)
Regardless of whether or not his method is "good enough" (it probably is), it's not a OTP unless it uses actually random pads. By definition. If it's using a PRNG instead of a RNG, it is called a stream cipher.
'One time pad' is a term of art. In technical discussions about cryptography is should only be used where technically correct.
Not even RMS himself would back you up on that shit. Open Source does not imply copyleft. The word you are looking for is "Free Software". The distinction exists for a reason, use the correct words. If you only support copyleft licenses then fine, proclaim your support for Free Software. Everyone in the world considers BSD-style licenses to be perfectly Open Source except for you.
1) I think (hope) you mean WPA2, not WEP2... 2) The proof for the perfect security of OTPs only applies if the pad is random. Not pseudo-random. You seem to be describing what amounts to a very primitive psuedo-random number generator, using pages of books as seeds. If you are not using random information, it is incorrect to call it a one time pad.

Second sentence of the fucking summary. Who is making that accusation?
See, now THAT is funny.
Well you certainly have the social skills and tack of a stereotypical fat basement-dwelling nerd.

To be fair, Renaissance tragedies is where the good characters are, not the comedies.
wait what? Avatar wasn't a comedy? hmm, disregard that then. :)
Even if you ignore the visible spectrum that comment remains the most laughably incorrect thing I've heard this week.
Getting kicked in the shin is a lot better than getting kicked in the nuts, but both suck.

True (yes).
1) The soldiers in the wooden horse were Greeks, not Trojans.
2) Woooooooooooooooooosh!
And you thought there was already too much drive to convict, regardless of guilt, in today's legal system!
In the case of net neutrality, I support regulation.
Nice try though, maybe next time.
I got that, I was responding to explain my incorrect usage of "Que", where I most certainly did not mean the spanish word.

Whelp, can't say I didn't expect you...

You are an idiot.
You best be trolling...
I was going to challenge your claims that radioactive isn't accurate, but I think I won't even bother now.
