Actually, it could be worse.
(B) and (C) as you have them assume that GPL3 is compatible with GPL2. If not, there will be a lot of consultation with authors persuading them to re-release under GPL3.
The implications of this are far reaching esp for typical software where money is exchanged. To me, it's like Toyota asking me for extra money for driving my old 1979 360,000 miles when they expected me as a consumer to buy a diffrent car after only 100,000 miles.
A better analogy is Toyota asking you for more money after they discovered that the dealer threw in "free" rare trinkets that their margins didn't cover. You, Matt, might pity Toyota, but perhaps not.
Actually, the next step would be putting wheels/balls under the other fingers. Why let the middle finger have all the fun? Sort of an inversion of the DataHand keyboard. Yeah, it'd be pricey, but price is no object for some people.
There's prior art for the thumb having a wheel given some trackballs.
It also has a philips #1 on it, which is useful for pulling cards out of computers... I also carry a Gerber, as it has a philips #2, which are useful when racking systems.
Unless you want to wear out your screw heads, you should be using #2 instead of #1 in the computers. Also, here the rack screws are Phillips #3 (although I think I've seen #2 on some racks).
Isn't using the wrong screw size like using the wrong socket size?!
But I don't like car dealers either, and you don't see me hotwiring cars off of their lot because I think they're in a corrupt business. The point is that THEIR corruption doesn't justify MY corrupt actions. Or as your mother undoubtedly told you, two wrongs doesn't make a right.
And you people complaing about the use of the word "steal".....that's what it is. When you take something that isn't yours, whether it's physical or bits of data over the internet, that's stealing, folks.
So, you'd claim that when people take photos or movies with their cameras or camcorders (regardless of whether they're photographing cars at a secret testing facility or acting as paparazzi or merely capturing themselves on a public beach), that's stealing too? And corporate espionage is also stealing?
Unless you reply otherwise, I'll assume your answer is an emphatic yes.
Alternatively, the correct analogy you should be using is when, in the distant future, Star Trek-style replicators are used to duplicate cars on lots.
P.S. You'd say I "stole" parts of your message, yes?
While I'd agree that paying "artists" more won't make much a difference, do you honestly think that reducing prices by 1/2 or 2/3 won't make a difference?
Just imagine the potential popularity of $5 albums and $1 singles! With prices that low, the "price too high" argument goes out, but other deterrents (availability, usefulness) remain.
If only the RIAA would classify P2P as competition/advertising...
I mean, only one OTHER than the fact that the media companies could and would spend BILLIONS to prevent it...
Do you have a cite for this "fact"?
It seems to me like they have plenty to gain (more material in the public domain that they can freely derive from) and little to lose (even with 9x$1 registrations, do they actually have over 112 million works that they're going to register)?
On the flip side, just imagine how much stuff Disney will find itself dealing with on a yearly basis that has fallen into the public domain and they can derive from.
A simple Google search for "mcdonald's coffee burns" reveals the range at the time of the lawsuit as a scalding 180-190, not a somewhat moderate 160-165. If you were maintaining 160-165 ("what is[sic] was before"), I daresay you were violating corporate policy.
Really? Cars appeared on Andromeda? Would love to see an MPEG of that!
The subject is Product Placement, not sole sponsorship. One example I really liked was the 1-800-COLLECT bits on Tracker... I remember getting through an episode (around 8?) that didn't mention 1-800-COLLECT, it kinda freaked me out. Ended up watching the whole thing again on my TiVo just to make sure.
I imagine that, if 1-800-COLLECT ever dies, the product placements will seem rather odd (but "Retro" isn't always bad).
The lack of a true downtown is what upsets me about Bellevue. I mean, even Kirkland has a downtown (with a biker bar, or at least it used to be a biker bar). Redmond has a downtown (kind of). Bellevue has a mall. Right at its heart. A mall. Like Lynnwood with a higher per-capita income and Nordstrom's instead of Mervyn's.
Ok, I'll bite. What do you expect to find in a downtown, and over how many blocks? I think you'll find nearly everything you're looking for within a quarter mile of the mile-long section of Main St between 100th and 116th.

I wonder if I should write up a patent...

Interestingly, there's a flat-out lie in the README.TXT - the Tacoma BMP and MAP are from an as-yet unreleased 3.x or 4.x version.
It wouldn't take much effort at all to "throw a bone" to the "hackers", but... :(
Indeed, you could use WSDOT's own WebFlow application, although it hasn't been updated in a long time. Sadly, they have a location already set up for new maps that's going unused.
NDA?
They're not just giving the hard data away, they're planning to sell it. And TiVo needs to get into the black.
Off to the store I go

A funny story: I had all this written down when I went to choose a new car. Didn't help.

But maybe you haven't explored Bellevue much.Linus isn't the only one capable of practicing "due diligence".
Keep those two cents away, you'll crush them!
Wouldn't throttled output from /dev/*random be better? At least get some revenge out of it.
