Perhaps you can elaborate? What is the difference between "free software" and "open source software."
How much money is the open source software going to cost me?
RTFA!
Once "ACCUSED" you have 48 hours to respond. If you attend to the matter within a certain time frame, nothing happens, finewise.
Lets look at the real world shall we.
Suppose you are tootling along on the freeway, and a cop pulls you over for speeding (that pig, the MAN is keeping my down! I shouldn't have to kow tow to what every cop says!) The cop ACCUSES you have speeding. IF you don't show up in court by a certain date, you WILL be fined.
I don't see how one is much different than the other.
For the most part it is. Its called the Berne Convention (first ratified in 1886) with something like 95% of the countries in the world a signer of the convention. Including Sweden, and Russia.
right because obviously the developer is trying make the best tool for the job with all of the free moral he is garnering. He can't afford to eat, or keep a house over his head. But gosh darn he has one more free loader, so he better make his product even better!
Your school board decided to block probably the single most informative website? Because SOME of the data might be wrong? Ohh no because the data was user generated(apparently because users are completely stupid? where does the schoolboard think data comes from for other reference materials?)
I personally think the reason the school board wants to block wikipedia is because it makes research easier. Did they also ban hardcopy Encyclopedias?
Forget banning sites, and teach your kids how to think. Teach them to corraborate their data with more than one source. I was taught this in school (despite the fact the school didn't allow us to access the non existent wikipedia)
According to the article "The site has allowed only certain candidates' speeches to be viewed freely on the site..." which if true, would be a bit unfair.
But this feels to me more like "Candidate A has a cooler looking campaign poster than all of the others. So we request that the posters be removed, because more people are looking at them. Its only fair"
You are comparing apples to oranges. The Canon Powershot was designed to be easy to use by the average person. And it is. Turn it on, Point, shoot. Its not a pro camera, but it does have some pro features. Although they are harder to use.
If you want a nice sophisticated but digital camera, you can still get one. If you want an easy to use, simple camera, buy one that is designed for automagic. If you want full control get one that is designed for full control.
I don't understand what this comment has to do with this article?
I don't know the exactl details, but it seems to me that aircraft manufactuers already register their aircraft information with the FAA. That is how the FAA has all of this aircraft data, that the want to release.
But if the manufacturer goes belly up, the owners of the planes may no longer be able to access the information that they need to fix their plane. But the FAA does have this information. Unfortunately they can't release this information (because the deals FAA made with the manufacturer to get this data in the first place)
We aren't pretending that "they" (the manufacturer) cares, but the FAA does care.
If one of the Outback Steakhouse customers was killed with a steak knife, you bet that the police would be questioning all of the patrons of the local Outback Steakhouse.
The police believed one of the users of TOR was committing a crime (there was an implication that they had evidence to support this.) The IT department knew that two people on campus used TOR. They went and questioned both of them. Sounds like pretty darn good use of logic to me. Not sure where the fault lies.
So what happens when a sex offender registers his screen name as slim?
The whole sex offender database appears to be Cruel and Unusual punishment to me. But the real problem is they are asking for more than just unique information.
It is almost like saying register just your first name with the database.

People don't want to pay for software (or music). What makes you think they want to pay for someone else to drive around in circles?
Perhaps you can elaborate? What is the difference between "free software" and "open source software." How much money is the open source software going to cost me?
I don't think you need to be a cynic to suggest that... Only someone with an ounce of common sense.

So everything in your house is practical, nothing is proprietary? You phone? Your TV? Your blender? frig? Your car? Your computer?
Uhhh. You mean lost on so many Slashdot.orgers?

"Well Judge," I started. "I wouldn't buy a Ferrari no matter what." "So, no harm no foul."
