I wish I had mod points because you make several very important statements.

To add to your good advise, I'd say that back exercise is also very important for anyone who has already had a back injury. I've slipped a disk three times. The first time was lifting something that was too heavy for me to lift (I did it, but paid for it and continue to pay for it). Now it's weakened in that area, it comes out easier now. My back exercises and stretching help me to reduce the chances of recurring injuries as a result of my now weakened back.

After my first injury, I spoke to my boss and informed him that I would periodically (maybe a couple of times per day) need to slip off to stretch for 10 minutes or so. Several times I'd have co-workers walk into a conference room for an impromptu meeting only to find me laying on the floor stretching my lower back with a towel on my feet. Since they had seen me walk around for a week using a cane, they understood - but the first few times asked if I needed help. I just said, "no thanks, this IS my recovery"

Who gives you the right to impress your concepts of right and wrong onto the citizens of another sovereign nation and its people?

How would you feel if another country did it to you?

If there isn't after the project stabilizes, and you cant port it yourself, then you shouldn't be asking about FORTH in the first place.

Sounds like you have bigger problems than your documentation and user interface....

Gutenberg isn't amazon :) But yes, that is another (legal) option.

But more to my meaning: There are thousands and thousands of out of print ( but still relevant ) books in libraries that are still under copyright.

jungles are hot. hot = evil

Antarctica is a decent temp year round. Sign me up please.

It *did* cost him. He just thinks public services run on air, not taxes..

Not saying i support it, but if you take the millions for the library, you can buy a lot of kindles and pay for the subscription too....

Try getting out of print material from amazon...

i know *I* would never run an out-node.. i dont want the feds coming to my door due to what someone else was accessing.

The OP asks a rather simple technological restriction, and instead we get a bunch of mis-informed arm chair legal posts, mostly from idiots.

my my, amazing how far Slashdot has fallen.

here they gave permission by answering the phone. and i dont have to tell them i am doing it..

really stretching the definition here...

Take the evil creatures from their mothers at birth, and send them to government run education camps.

Seriously, kids burn out just like adults and need breaks too. They also need time to be 'kids' before they are sent into the machine. You only get one chance to be a kid, dont take that from them too

No, just in the back pocket of corrupt socialists...

If i had to choose, id still choose cooperation control over socialism. I like having a job and food to eat.

why bother with "clean room"? the source is out there, and i doubt they care about US IP rights....
