If DMUTPeregrine is guilty of copy right infringement, it makes no difference whether he releases his music under the CC license.

Just as it made no difference for George Harrison, as he released My Sweet Lord in 1971, which didn't have the CC license.

Did you RTFA? It specifically mentions that these windows are grey tinted.

The price of silicon taken at one moment in time is not what I meant by market price. Market price fluctuates and the silicon market is capable of large fluctuations.

I live in the Seattle area. No they are not generally capable of powering a home. Only if you pick and choose where you will evaluate the criteria, are they.

Durability is an issue when you live in the midwest where hail, ice and heavy snow can damage just about anything on your roof. You have to insure the solar panel, which then increases the cost.

Regarding you "evidence link", be careful using agendize reporting for financial information. When you are promoting an agenda you cannot really be trusted for financial prediction. Valuable finacial prediction requires an unbiased look at MANY points of view. Not just one. Especially not just one that cherry picks its stories.

...and people would have to pretend they like tinted windows.

Being forced to have tinted windows is not preferred. You can bet that if these get put on some skyscraper, the boss's windows will be exempt from having these installed.

The challenges for mass-adoption of solar cells having nothing to do with convenient locations to put them. Nearly all home-owners have a roof that they can access.

The challenges for solar cell adoption are:
Cost-effective manufacturing methods
The market price of silicon
Efficiency of conversion
Storing the energy for when it's required (or moving it to where it is helpful)
and Durability

When those problems are REALLY solved, we won't need to have dark windows to generate our energy needs. And we won't need to burn coal. But we're a long way from solving all of those problems.

The word asshole in your definition is more of a connotation. It's not actually in the definition of the word.
br> The word fundamentalism doesn't mean evil, bad or asshole. It just means that you are zealous about your cause in such a way that you that puts you out of step with the world around you.

I felt that promoting an over-priced laptop made of 7 year old hardware, only because it meets qualified for that meaning of the word. But I apologize if some felt that word was harsh. I'd thought it was well-chosen.

"Value-Added" means that a processs or resource added is worth the cost and improves the overall worth of something beyond its cost.

The story is a negative example of that concept because for a bloated cost you acheive here what could have been acheived on any other piece of hardware. So it is not value-added.

I'll assume that's sarcasm. =)

Cuz, I didn't get the memo that the purpose of discussion was to affirm the opinions of someone else.

I get the sense that the FSF, though having some very good ideals, has no understanding of the importances of "just works" and "value added".

Many of these problems will be "solved" by wrongful death law suits. I don't believe even Amazon will be able to purchase enough insurance to cover themselves from these suits. Wrongful death law suits awards are usually calculated by the depth of the defendent's pockets. And when someone's child is killed by a drone falling from about 300 feet, the sympathies of the jurors will know no bound.

To add to your point, there is another very important distinction to be made in this case. When someone gets hit by a drunk driver, 99% of the time they have already conceded to engage in driving, an activity that is commonly understood to contain a bit of dandger which people generally make a choice to accept and consequently take some amount of responsibility for being alert to dangerous drivers and conditions.

But when someone's grandmother is decapitated while gardening in her backyard, we should reasonably expect that the emotional outrage is going to be quite different and understand the difference in sentiment.

Agreed. It makes me wonder if WB has an automated Score Takedown software when it detects ironic comparissons to their evil.

To Slashdot Mod Point holders: An ironic comparisson used to express outrage over a topic is NOT off-topic.

#1 Zinga buys it.

#2 Freer software comes out that can fulfill the utility.

#3 ParanoidAndroid and AdAway are not capable of taming the program the way I'd like.
