One thing is 'legacy' projects and distro's wanting to support them.

Asterisks are intended for the pure of heart who don't want to defile their pretty fingers typing "bad words".

Don't worry, you can put your vaccines in sand or shit and still deliver the payload to babies voluntarily. The challenge is usually to prevent a baby from eating stuff.

Where Python is for people with a rational aversion to curly braces.

2015 is the year of SSH on the desktop.

About a month after Mayer became CEO there was a Yahoo mail redesign. I didn't particularly liked the changes but could live with it. Another month later, another redesign and that made mail so sucky that it became useless for me. I had been using Yahoo mail for more than 10 years, since 2003.

Just showing how difficult it is: the availability of functioning freeways makes people live further away from their jobs. So you could place a toll on it and expect people or jobs to relocate.

You can still buy a M-16, it'll be fucking expensive but they're for sale for USA citizens. Any full auto from before 1986 but that's modern enough.

Another problem is that militia. To me it looks like a bunch of guys with (semi-) automatic weapons defending their lives, homes and way of living against the government. say, pretty much like what they're doing in the tribal areas of Pakistan or Yemen. But no, your militia isn't going to get Hellfire missiles legally. The second amendment is obsolete, just as the wigs the founding fathers wore.

Those were millenials too. It's not just a western problem.

There's a difference between his questionable social behavior and his academic work (which doesn't seem to be in doubt). The problem with Mengele c.s. was that their scientific conduct was abhorrent and with it any scientific results.

It's very intense and existent in Europe. Just google "eu net neutrality" to get some idea.

Fine. In your logic, after a copyright infringement, the right holder doesn't have the exclusive right anymore because it's stolen. Have fun explaining that to the copyright holders, see if they're willing to embrace your explanation.

FYI: copyrights are very strong and versatile rights, covered by many laws and treaties which contain criminal penalties and financial damages for infringement. And theft is something different altogether.

The only thing a copyright holder wants is that you feel the indignation associated with the theft of physical goods. A real equation of copyright infringement with theft would be a huge disservice to rights holders.

It doesn't qualify. Nothing was removed. When I steal your bike, you can't ride it anymore. Are you saying Sony can't release the movies anymore now they're 'stolen'? Get a clue on copyrights; rights holders wouldn't want to trade it for normal property.

It wasn't theft.
