Texas WAS another, independent country at one time... I wonder if they'd ever like to take that back. Also, interesting to note that 4 of the last 11 POTUS have called themselves Texans. No I'm not a Texan or a wannbe, just saying there's more in the background than the scenery.
Where do I get a ".etc" domain? I'm interested in several.etc names but can't find a place to buy them. Also, who manages the other oddball TLD's like.aero,.cat, and.coop? I really want to know why nothing is at www.chicken.coop! Did fox.com get to them already? And for god's sakes why is there no page at www.my.cat?

I think the point they were trying to make was that the implication is that they could use the software any way they wanted regardless of the limitations imposed by the license. If I make a widget and use GPL code in it without adhering to the license that's no BIGGER a violation than someone running an OS on hardware in VIOLATION of that particular license. You went to great pains to delineate the terms of the GPL, so you understand the idea, the software creator/owner gets to choose the terms under which the software may be used. People that choose not to use an open source license still have the same rights, correct?
In Germany they have a law voiding any EULA not displayed outside the package of a product, so PearC seems to be going along OK. Personally, I think that's a great idea, that you can't buy something without being informed of ALL the terms before you plunk down your money...
...but this kind of active content censorship just rubs me the wrong way.
That's the point! We must make sure that NOBODY rubs ANYBODY in ANYWAY!!! Unchecked, uncensored free instant communication could lead to things like "flash orgies", or worse, real cock fights! (there's your disturbing mental image for the day)
Trust us, this is for your own good...

Doesn't Ted Alvin Klaudt charge people 500 grand for using the Ted Alvin Klaudt name? then I guess I'll have to stop using Ted Alvin Klaudt's name or he might try to collect from me . ..
Tell him you're a kid, I hear they get a special deal! Seriously, the dude is over 550 pounds... http://freakbits.com/media/Ted-Alvin-Klaudt.jpg if he comes to collect, wait until he is right up to you and then walk away at a brisk pace.
Perhaps we should start referring to this guy as the CONVICTED CHILD FUCKER formerly named 'Ted Alvin Klaudt'?
Having been somewhat of an asshole in times past, I thought a bit of clarification was in order. An asshole is someone that cuts you off on the freeway... Now, there's a good chance he will be someone's special asshole every night, but I don't think that's the way you were using the word.
And if you have a 1394 interface on your mobo you should break out the soldering iron and get that freedom sucking plug out of your life.

It's not about populatiry, it's about proving that the public en masse can change anything they want.
True, as long as it is of no consequence. Anything business or government really want will come about one way or another... keeping people occupied with mindless drivel like entertainment just makes it all easier.
Oh, someone is at the doo
Well, it's a lot easier to toss a phone out of the, ah, line of fire, so to speak. If it did get toasted I would LOVE to see the reaction of the phone store employee examining it as the new father explained why it doesn't light up anymore... it might even sustain some more damage.
Pizza analogies make me hungry, can you please use an automotive metaphor? And anytime you have ham and pineapple, toss in some sliced pickled jalapeno peppers (nacho style peppers) to really get things rockin'
"...I'd much rather just have intelligent TVs or receivers that turned the volume down upon detecting a commercial...
Magnavox had a feature called "Smart Sound" for many many years, and that's pretty much the function. It also keeps the sound from going too low, like when someone whispers. They now call it "'Automatic Volume Leveling" in current manuals. I'm sure they had a patent in force because I've never seen the feature on another brand... but it's been a long time so maybe other manufacturers are able to implement similar options.
The RSS feed headline said "Mars Express Captures Phobos and Deimos" and I thought to myself, if we can do that then any future comet or asteroid impact should be easy to avoid, we just capture it and park it at Lagrange Point 4. Then we can maybe use the materials as resources for other missions....
Then I read the story and see we have a stop frame animation that looks like a cut from Robot Chicken.
If a politician does not act in concert with the direction of party leadership, they get labeled and, if possible, marginalized as to their role in shaping events. When this happens in the Republican party they are called "RINO's" and when it happens in the Democratic party they are called "Blue Dogs". Sometimes it is a single issue that causes the label, a conservative that supports the right to an abortion or a liberal that wants lower taxes. Their party would like to minimize the impact of their views, so the label helps them to assure the faithful that those people with the contrary ideas are "not REALLY a [party_affiliation]", and should be ignored. These people are often the moderates of both parties, and there are more of them that are afraid to stand up to party pressure. I wish they could form a coalition to codify a moderate party platform that leaves both religion and social engineering out of government... but that I fear is just a dream.
Indeed, no one like liver puree, less so when it's their liver. If my crashing helicopter was going to deploy an airbag, I'd like it to be one of the pontoon boat sized ones that are used for movie stunt work... Given the volume of one of those and the speed required for useful deployment, I'd be a bit concerned about flying around with all that airbag propellant (it's explosives, really) right under my ass.
Personally, I'd like to see something that locks (or jettisons) the rotor and then deploys a whole craft parachute like BRS sells for fixed wing aircraft.

uh, so how much pizza do I get? and my head hurts now, can I also have a beer please?
Wait, if you were home, why would you need mobile internet? Or were there other circumstances keeping you from accessing your home net connection?
Because he did not want to have to Goggle "how to clean afterbirth off of a laptop"...
Do you also happen to offer anything ABSOLUTELY FREE with that?
Yes, at no extra charge you are automatically opted in to receive periodic information about upgrading to a premium product!
I totally reject your supposition!
I respectfully submit that "those jackoffs" can indeed be morons AND on the payroll of big oil and big coal simultaneously.
