I'm not sure where I'm going after I die, but I'm glad I'm not going to the same place as the people who tell me I'm going to hell.

Mark Twain (para)

Yes he did. Hence he goes around posting strawmen for others to knock down. Thinks it's clever.

The unibomber saw some obvious facts.

But he strung them together into a schizo construct that made no sense at all. Everybody is powerless in a technological society, but they have tons of power while freezing in an unheated cabin and praying for the weather to break?

Find where the unibomber started to feel powerless and you find the root of his psychosis.

He was also an example of schizo IQ degradation. Every schizophrenic episode costs them about 1 IQ point. After a few years they are just dull, but they remember 'being smart'.

The VC were more or less wiped out during the tet offensive. The N Vietnamese won. The Vietnam war ended with a massive invasion going south.

The English weren't assholes as well? They mostly still are.

AC brought intent into the discussion. Apparently someone thinks 'activist' is a positive descriptive word. It's completely neutral.

The unibomber was 'an activist'. An activist with a complex mental construct he was killing to defend. (This a little muddled by all the people who read the 'logicyness' of his manifesto but were too stupid to see it made no sense at all. Some even call it 'genius' because it agreed with some of their preconceptions.)

Charles Manson is a pro helter skelter activist.

So long as you include Saddam in the 'et. al' and recognize he was bluffing and had it called.

Good thing to do with ISIS? Supply it's opponents with enough weapons to reach stalemate. Not enough to win.

Their opponents are mostly no better, we can give the Kurds enough to win, but not the Shia.

See also: The Iran/Iraq war under Reagan. That was very well done.

Never encourage snarky idiots.

No.

The incompetent leave violence until it's the last resort, by which time it is too late for it to do any good. The competent get to violence much sooner.

Why did you pick one of four idiotic things to respond to? They're all wrong.

Why should we let someone back into the country, at government expense, once they have left.

Keep your mayo french fry dipping sprout kids on that side of the pond.

Specifically he says if the symbol is exported with _GPL at it's end he thinks it's protected.

Apparently he invented an 'intent of author standard'. Which would suck in the bigger sense.

I sure hope Oracle loses the header case.

A. That sucks. Hopefully the supreme court returns sanity.

B. All interfaces 'literally use the code' If calling an interface makes my code a derived work that is very, very bad in a larger sense. SCO might have won with that argument.

Old thread. Linus apparently thought header files/interfaces could be copyrighted. He's been shown to be wrong in the USA. Thank dog.
