I really enjoy PA, I get around pretty well actually, though a few things of note... The western smell of paper mills and the smell of the mushroom as you move south and central area. LOL It's okay but my biggest complaint is why don't you guys cut out the sidewalk for driveways and businesses? That's INSANE. I shouldn't have to drive over a 6" curb to get into the store and it was like that all over the place - not just in one area. Sidewalk cutouts are a thing.;) Use them.
Wow, we're quite off topic. Hitting Gettysburg outside of tourist season is awesome! Chilly but awesome!
Well, I can congratulate you on being consistent, or at least appearing to be. I'm not a fan of copyright or patents but until someone comes up with a viable alternative the protections offered are what we have. We currently need some protections, the degree of which is debatable surely but the reality is that people need to profit and have control.
It a matter of thought anyhow. My entire point is that abolishing copyright, at this point in time, isn't a valid solution. Even the GPL relies on it, calling it copyleft doesn't actually change that.
Your username would indicate that you are familiar with the GPL. It would appear not. At least you're against something... It would be better, though, if you understood what it was you were against.
True story... I woke up with a hangover and a Google+ account. Now if I'm logged in and I rate YouTube videos or comment on them it happily insists on using my real name. Bastards... All I can guess is that I slept with Google that night and that G+ is an STD.
I am not one of those people, I don't think, but how do you know this to be true? Additionally, wouldn't you like them to be proactive in fraud prevention? Personally, I support single payer health care and I say this as a classic libertarian though I'm registered as an Independent. (Reality concerning those of that political persuasion doesn't actually match the assumptions made by those who haven't made the effort to understand it but that's not really a part of this discussion.)
Unfortunate and true. We are humans after all. Ideological purity was never bred into us, I can't imagine why people with supposed scientific minds would envision us as anything but the animals we are. I envision a very myopic future for us all though, I guess, that's a bit of an oxymoron.
Totalitarianism is fairly generic. There's an interesting book called The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy which is dated but worth a read. Authoritarian is another one... I think, if I were to honestly say what I believe would be the best (read: most functional/effective) system of government it would be a Benevolent Dictatorship with the leader being the leader of the entire planet. They'd have to be pretty rough at first but once things settled down... It is, of course, never going to happen.
I don't really approve of him (but he has been far better than I had feared he would be and I'd have voted for him if I had to - I voted third party) but I'm pretty sure that Obama is NOT a Nazi, descended from Nazi financiers, or is he affiliated with any Nazi groups. There are all sorts of valid complaints to make about Obama but, I'm pretty sure, that he's a Nazi financier descendent is not one of them.
Well, they are "quality foraged." It says so right in the title. The amusing thing is that I hadn't been to the site in years (probably at least a few years) and it just happened to cross my mind within the past week or less.
Oddly? I don't even think I found your site through/. or anything, I think I found it when searching for strange links. You've had that site up and running for quite some time now. Other than you, of course, I imagine I've been going there longer than most anyone else unless you want to count my taking a few years off. LOL
Ayuh, that we do. They aren't nearly as bad as the fire ants that they have down south though - at least not in my opinion. By the way, I think you're the first fellow Mainer that I've seen on/. but I can't be sure as it's not like they have profiles that identify us as such. Ah well, you're AC and probably won't see this.

I wouldn't even cross the road with the lights in Boston.
I do like Kutztown. Other than that I'm not too familiar with anything larger in PA. LOL I always end up in the small towns there.

Lived? No. Made use of? Yes. I was injured in a vehicle accident in the UK. They did a great job.
Nah, I figured (not that I'd do this) that I'd slap a new copyright on it and just call it something different with making no changes to it at all.
Oh, no. I understood. Your conclusion that there must be some other kind of power behind human creativity is flawed. Nice try though.
I just stopped rating and commenting.
There are all sorts of ways to violate it. I could keep Ubuntu the same, call it anything I wanted, and sell it under that name. Should I do that?

Hey, that's my signature! ;)
Or it means it was coincidental.
Does that mean you should violate the GPL?
Urban culture...
I live in Maine. Is the a code word for black people?
Do you really think that will stop them, say when the opposite political party is in power? I don't have as much faith.

I did Google, as you suggested, and that number is nearly 1 in 7. So you're not too far off.

Err...
Are you saying Obama is a Nazi?

I wonder if I should inform them http://umaine.edu/publications/2550e/ that they're in Franklin County too. Too bad I'm lazy.
Well, they are in Texas.
