Yet you weren't confident enough to post your flame under your real login? Even the pseudo-identification of a slashdot login? How confident of you.
Why is it that so many people pontificate on the GPL without bothering to read it first?
I don't know, why do you?
Both v2 and v3 of the GPL make it very clear that you must offer the source code to anyone who asks for it.
Wrong. You have to do one of two things. Distribute the source with the binaries, OR provide a written offer of sourse to anyone who requests it. From the GPL FAQ (bold mine):
"If you choose to provide source through a written offer, then anybody who requests the source from you is entitled to receive it.
If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later."
First, most people are not you. Second, Netflix allows you to distill what you do want to watch and do so all at once. Third, that applies to the entire household of at least two or three, commonly more.
It has a cap at 50GB a month (which is already pretty generous)
You have an interesting idea of "generous". Two hours of Netflix a day and your cap is gone.
He's using the product in a manner for which it was designed and sold. How is that not the "right tool"?
The Great Google Hard Disk Study revealed that no brand was "more reliable" than any other.
No, it said the exact opposite of that.
"Failure rates are known to be highly correlated with drive models, manufacturers and vintages [18]. Our results do not contradict this fact."
FWIW the single biggest factor they found which correlated to failure was heat. If your drive runs hot then expect trouble.
It said the exact opposite of that, too.
"The figure shows that failures do not increase when the average temperature increases. In fact, there is a clear trend showing that lower temperatures are associated with higher failure rates. Only at very high temperatures is there a slight reversal of this trend."
No, but the highest rate Netflix streams at in the real world, less than 2.6Mbps on Verizion FIOS, is about 1.1 GB of data per hour. Downloading a two hour movie in high def is easily well over 2 GB, often twice that at 1080p with 5.1 sound. So really you're saving bandwidth by choosing to stream from Netflix.
And if you don't play optical media that's $30 wasted.
How does one "waste" bandwidth on a home network?
Russia operates Mig-29s and Su-33s off of carriers with ski jumps - and the Su-33 is heavier than a Superhornet.
But they can't be loaded to full weight when launching off a ramp. they needs to be either light on armament or be air refueled.
Smaller carriers that only use VSTOL aircraft could benefit from a ski jump, I don't know why it hasn't been implemented there.
Large, heavy aircraft cannot take off from ski jumps. That makes them mostly unsuitable for US carriers as the Super Hornet is one of the mainstays of the airborne fleet.
But it does not support the ePub format, which was the point. I am well aware that ePub can be converted to another format, but that's not really relevant to the statement at hand, which was that "it reads ePubs".
My wife's un-modded Kindle reads her non-Amazon epubs just fine.
No it doesn't.
The Kindle does not support the ePub format. Amazon does not sell ePubs and has never wrapped one in their own DRM.
A rock store eventually closed down; they were taking too much for granite.
