How long before Al Qaeda has people terrorists board with Ebola or Hemoraggic Fever or some other horrendous disease that you can't treat?
Basically never. WHY bother? There are much juicer targets.
This isn't about Al Qaeda, this isn't about Muslims, this isn't about terrorism. This is about control, and money, and finding drug smugglers.
However, I have yet to hear about a single terrorist caught by the TSA.
By their own admission they haven't caught any, yet they've let several through. But don't worry, they did find about 1000 guns that law enforcement officers forgot they had with them.
And they've managed to stop most (but not all) people from carrying a bottle of water into the airport!
How did we build a system that rewards corruption?
Politicians don't "bribe" voters into voting by making outrageous promises. One Politician claims he will do X, the other claims he will do Y. Voter votes for the one who will do X if he wants X done. Not if X is more outrageous than Y.
People are fallible, and will make mistakes, and yes sometimes even outright lie. That doesn't mean the system is BUILT on corruption. Pretty much any system can be gamed.
If your work follows fair use, then no. But lets suppose while you made $10,000 from a million visitors, quite a few of those visitors also came to me, more than I would have had otherwise.
How is this different than the set top dvr my cable company provides? Other than unlimited storage? I can't download the programs from my box, and if I stop paying my monthly fee, I won't be able to access the bits on my box.
So how is this different? By the way, except for a few small shows, if I can't catch up on stuff inside a month... well it isn't worth keeping around anyways. Cause I'm either never going to watch it, or there will be other ways to get the same show.
I didn't realize Ross Perot wrote software. When someone HIRES you to write some software for them, they own the copyright. Its called "works for hire." Of course you can negotiate the contract up front, and retain the copyright.
No, GPL clause 6 explicitly states that you may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted in the GPL. So you cannot sign a contract that prohibits you from distributing the program in accordance with the GPL.
In the first statement you claim you can not restrict the recipients rights. In the second statement you claim BECAUSE of this, you can't prohibit your rights. YOU are not the recipient. Of COURSE you can give up your rights, without restricting the recipients rights.
It's your choice too; nothing forces you to work with clients that refuse it.
I didn't get the impression that their clients are refusing to allow the OP to open source the code. They are just refusing to foot the bill for it. I'm also making the assumption that the code the OP is referring to is NOT actually work for hire code, and he actually has the permission to open source it. He is just doesn't want to open source it for free.
Couldn't they have come up with better scenarios? Ohhh look I can move the map by moving my finger UNDER the tablet! Ohhh look a different QR code. There is way to much "music pads" and not enough interaction with real devices (which is what I thought this was about)
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor"
Oh yeah pure hatred right there.
Religions aren't naturally hateful. Just some people are, and they choose to use religion as a shield.
I'm not sure what your post has to do with free speech. But the fact is muslisms are more than welcome to come to America and practice their religion. In fact, you might argue they have MORE of a right to practice their religion, than you have to free speech. Free religion was mentioned in the constitution before free speech was.
Muslims aren't the only ones trying to take over the world.
What you are asking society to do is to redefine those rules...
Marriage is a legal contract, it is defined by the government. So yes. people are asking that the government definition be changed. Just like any other law can be changed. These rules have been changed before, mixed race marriages are now legal.
No one is asking for marriage to exist between a person and an animal, a rock, or even bacon.
I find it amusing, because when I was brought up, I was taught that marriage is between two people who love each other. Of course the same people who taught me that now say, no marriage is actually about something else.
One of the problems I have with most organized religions (well Christian ones) is how hypocritical they are. "Thou shalt love they neighbor" unless that neighbor is from a different religion, or different in some other way.

The pig rattle. Rattle with dove. The dove angry. The pig leave. The dove produce. Produce is chicken wing. With wing bark. No Quack.

And... judgements in small claims court are so enforceable, right?
You are darn toot'n judgement in small claims are enforceable.
If you give it away, its not "pirating"
And only allow the Person (not fictional Person such as a Corporation) to renew copyrights for a similar period until they die.
I don't understand what this is supposed to prevent. And what does it mean for "the Person" for well anything that has more than one person involved?
So you've basically described the system we have today... Except their are these mythical elves who'll set the fair market value.
If only there was xkcd comic about that....

Religion fucks up everything, starting with the government.
No. PEOPLE fuck up everything. You are just using religion as an excuse.
Because... only liberterarians[?] are the only ones posting drivel? Or it is because you don't agree with them?

Because the thought police have deemed it illegal to hate.
Why should she apologize that someone got offended?

How is it blasphemous to a Christian for someone to call Mohammed a prophet of God?

We have a freedom of speech here. You can say it, you can call them Assholes.
