Get real here. The Pirate Bay explicitly set out to link to copyrighted materials.
The piratebay administrators dont, some people who upload torrents do.
The site behaves the same way a "common carrier" does in tellecommunications, blaming TPB is like blaming ISP's for piracy.
ISP's want you to download content, they dont take any steps to verify the licences of content their customers are trying to download.
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound when you make such statements. You lose all credibility when you act like facilitating crime isn't in and of itself a crime. Google accidentally linking to some files is one thing. TPB exists entirely on the premise of facilitating copyright infringement. Thats different.
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound when you make such statements, you lose all credibility when you act like all filesharing is copyright infringement. Accidental punishing legal sharing is one thing. Media cartels manipulating law enforcement agencies to deliberately target specific file sharing methods. Thats different.
TPB exists entirely on the premise of facilitating file sharing using the bittorrent protocol. It does not have the means to check copyrights, and media cartels have demonstrated they cannot be trusted to provide advise on what is copyrighted. They have no choice but to remove themselves from such decisions, just like google does.
Your implication that correlation implies causation is extremely dangerous to society, it can only lead us to a dark age of inquisitions and witch hunts.
If you void patients then companies will stop sharing their innovations with people
What do people have to do with it ?
Also, the US has a huge first generation immigrant population. That skews our national numbers pretty badly in things like life expectancy, child mortality, etc.
Ok, ill bite;
Given that coal causes more harm to society than other forms of electricty generation (it causes more polution per kW), how is divesting coal investments hypecritical.
Go for it. People and businesses will drop open source like a hot rock and that will be the end of OSS as a force in the software industry.
Your post highlights a fundamental difference between us, i think a software community is of primary importance, you are talking about a software industry. They are different things.
But yes i know if im the odd man out, and i cant be a community of one.
it should not be free to use for the purpose of ensalving us.
Duoh
The only way corporations are going to carry their fari share of the burden is if they are legally required to. The only way to do that is to make them pay with $, its all they understand.
Libre software is being used by corporations to build gold-plated cages for consumers. Its time to stop playiong their game.
Our glorious leaders are fundamentally wrong on the concept that software tshould be "free to use for any purpose", it should be free to use for the purpose of ensalving us.
His work in math is not directly related to philosphy. Nor do the two follow.
If i could express it as a formulae im should you would find it easier to understand, but maybe this link might help.

Pythagoras had his own relgion and metaphyscial beliefs based around Mathematics, numerology, magic numbers etc...

Yeah, we're working on it. We have a system to correct this crap, hopefully we'll use it. In the meantime, make sure yours is just as transparent as you want ours to be. Maybe even show us the way. It would really help out, if you are indeed using the ideas our founders gave you....
Oh, and the NSA et. al. also spy on all the US citizens. Its not like they really tried hard to avoid it. They can have any non-US entity do it for them and share the results. We're all sorta in this together, us humans.
The Oligarchy in the US will get fixed eventually, we all hope for the better. It would be, you know, easier, if certain eurasian countries could stop invading their neighbors, and all. Have hope, humans are better than this.
I didnt have any consious expectations that it would taste better so it cant be a placebo.
But of course that doesnt make my experience objective either, im not aware of any studies that concure (or disagree) with my experience.
I recently switch to buying RSPCA endorsed chicken fillets, and i have to say, they are much TASTIER.
It seems to me that if the animal is looked after better, its much taster to eat when you eat it. It creates a bit of a catch22 for animal welfare groups, the more succesful they are the less vegetarians there will be.
Mathmatics is the single most important field
Philosphopy is the the father of all knowledge.
Did you know Pythagoras was a philospher ?
I was respondign to this
there were 145 wind farm fatalities in the UK alone from 2009 - 2013 145 people died working on wind turbines
The report says
"Fatal accidents
Number of fatal accidents: 105
By year:
Year 70s 80s 90s 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13
No. 1 8 15 3 1 4 4 4 5 5 11 8 7 14 14 3
Please note:
There are more fatalities than accidents as some accidents have caused multiple fatalities.
Of the 146 fatalities:
- 89 were wind industry and direct support workers (divers, construction, maintenance, engineers, etc), or small turbine owner
- 57 were public fatalities, including workers not directly dependent on the wind industry (e.g.
transport workers). 17 bus passengers were killed in one single incident in Brazil in March 2012."
If you take 2008 figures, 11 Deaths and 1.798TkWh (PetaWh) that means it is almsot 20 deaths per PWh, nuclear is 90 according to that forbes article (not that it has any credibility)
So Wind is much safer than nuclear.
You know, the difference between this company and the Titanic is that the Titanic had paying customers.
