How would you feel about a GPL like licence that didnt not tolerate distribution alongside prioprietary code (no mere agregation) ?
Duoh, meant to say 'licence that did not tolerate'

Libre software is used in many embedded devices, however there are very few devices that do not also use proprietary software seperately on the same device.
Manufacturers will often embrace Libre software, then extend it with own essential proprietary binaries, making the whole non-free and difficult for the community to liberate.

What's so hard in understanding this simple three-step formula:
1) Make some nice hardware.
2) Put vanilla Android on it with a clear upgrade path to the latest version.
3) Profit!
The hard bit that enables that 3 step plan is step 0) Sack managment, replace them with monkeys.
They could have tried "2th biggest" as a workaround.

Libs are a Tall Poppy Party, they want their leader to get all the heat so none of it lands on them. If there leader gets burnt by the public and they find themselves in charge they know they can get away with anything and the party will back them.
ALP are driven by the caucus, the leader cant just do what (s)he wants like in the Libs, the team comes first. That why the leader an ALP leader is more likely to get kniffed (which sounds wrong). But now the ALP leader is voted in by members the leader will have more power over caucus.

Then why's mgt. here (rant removed) ?
That reponse pretty much explains why your karma is burnt and your posting anon. Your post is not relevent to the story or the comment you replied to.
Apparently this is the most important information, from the front page.
Spelling
Yes, it is written systemd, not system D or System D, or even SystemD. And it isn't system d either. Why? Because it's a system daemon, and under Unix/Linux those are in lower case, and get suffixed with a lower case d. And since systemd manages the system, it's called systemd. It's that simple. But then again, if all that appears too simple to you, call it (but never spell it!) System Five Hundred since D is the roman numeral for 500 (this also clarifies the relation to System V, right?). The only situation where we find it OK to use an uppercase letter in the name (but don't like it either) is if you start a sentence with systemd. On high holidays you may also spell it sÃstÃmd. But then again, SystÃme D is not an acceptable spelling and something completely different (though kinda fitting).

The reaction to these changes demostrates the issues "nerds" have with change.
I suddenly feel sory for GNOME Designers.
There are allegations as well that CCP intentionally did this to drive up the price of PLEX (and in fact, just about every resource in the game)... which has happened. And CCP has colluded with players before to give valuable assets out -- and admitted to this.
Thats an almost slanderous claim, there was one case (5 years ago?) where one employee went "Rogue" and consipered with players for personal benefit, that event caused the company to create an internal investigation unit to make sure it doesnt happen again.
The company involved goes to great lengths to ensure they dont interfere with the games economy without good cause. They have an economist to monitor the health of the economy, and a reserve bank for the rare occasion that the ingame value of PLEX varies too much (i think they have only acted once or twice and there is oversight).
Im also lookign to replace my N900 (which i like), previously had an OpenMoko Neo (which was a great talking piece, bad phone).
Im currently keeping an eye on the fairphone, they are just finishing there first batch of 25,000 phones and looking at a new order soon. Second release is usually a good one to get in one as they have had a chance to find and fix hardware bugs.
The replicant project has done a review of the fairphone, there biggest criticim of it is that it doest have good hardware isolation to prevent NSA type spying. It isnt supported by replicant yet, but say it should be possible.

It looks like the project is more driven ideology rather than profit, but that ideology is very much focused on the phone. I hope they do well.
So, is your point that the USA wasnt betraying the trust of its allies because there wasnt any to begin with ?
However, his revelations about NSA spying outside the USA have caused severe and lasting damage to the USA's reputation, and to the USA's ability to collect intelligence that it needs to defend it's interests

The USA now has the oportunity to begin to earn the trust of its people so it can defend its national interests.
It pisses me off when they groan
If the GPL software was dual licenced and you could just pay money in order to avoid the obligations of the GPL, would you do it ?
Or are you only willing to accept software that is free as in speech and free as in beer, so you dont have to pass on either ?
Games are one of the oldest and most powerful learning systems we have. Computer games obviously lose the physical benefit of RL game,s but they still have mental benefits.
They can teach Logic, promote social skills (as compared to TV), and can be good emotionally just ot blow of some steam.
I understand the drama with debian and non-free games, but surely you can seperate the two concepts.
Heard that the next Space Shuttle is supposed to carry several Guernsey cows? It's gonna be the herd shot 'round the world.
