Never ascribe to stupidity that which can be explained by greedy self-interest. She's not disconnected from reality, she's trying to disconnect you and me from reality.
She doesn't seem to be very good at it.

Explicit language might modify what would otherwise be there only by an implicit doctrine.
In general, a licensor can modify their own terms. So, if you are using the GPL on software to which you hold the copyright, and you add some sort of exception, it applies. You can't do it to other people's software.
Schmai-gunug be willing, steak for dinner sometime soon.
Cyberman sympathizer detected! EXTERMINATE!:
That's Redheaded Counselor Juggs, though she is not quite up to Christina Hendricks level as redheaded eye-candy. She's actually older than La HenDDricks. Sad to say, Hendricks died her hair blonde recently which is total wrong-thinking that should be punished, no quatloos for her. There are two actresses who were born to be redheads that should stay redheads now and forever....Hendricks and Emma Stone. What was Emma Stone thinking....why play doomed-to-die Gwen Stacy when she could have the opportunity to play Mary Jane Watson if she just stayed red.
Are you telling me that everyone isn't being subjected the "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" app advert over and over and over and over....?
Don't see anything of the sort...but I have "Ads Disabled" checked.
My killbot features Lotus Notes and a machine gun, it is the finest available.
I am still having a little trouble with "we don't need our spies to spy". Maybe we do.
I am also having trouble believing that the kind of encryption we use on the Internet actually stops the U.S. Government from finding out whatever it wishes although IETF and sysadmins might be kidding themselves that it can. Government can get to the end systems. They can subborn your staff. Etc.
MS language is potentially worse than the default. And there is room for litigation to surprise us.
Yes. The last stuff I wrote that I couldn't compile today was in "Promal" or "Paradox". My C and C++ code from 1980 still builds and runs.
All of my web development is on Ruby on Rails. That environment has had a lot of development and I've had to port to new versions. So old code for RoR would not quite run out of the box, but it's close.
Popular computing languages do not in general have only one Open Source implementation, and do not get abandoned.
Development with a proprietary language is ultimately harmful to your own interests, whether you make proprietary software for a profit or Free software.
The one thing every business needs is control. When you make it possible for another company to block your business, you lose control. Your options become limited. Solving business problems potentially becomes very costly, involving a complete rewrite.
The one thing that should be abundantly clear to everyone by now is that making your business dependent on Microsoft anything is ultimately a losing proposition. They have a long history of deprecating their own products after customers have built products upon them.
All Open Source licenses come with an implicit patent grant, it's an exhaustion doctrine in equitable law.
The problem is not patent holders who contribute to the code, you're protected from them. It's trolls who make no contribution and then sue.
Of course these same trolls sue regarding proprietary code as well.
considering Hawaii became a state in 1959 and Obama was born 2 years later.....
They used to teach them C/C++. Pointers and memory management would filter the serious people from the "I wanna make games" crowd.
Games are one of the last bastions of C/C++ and raw memory management, so what are you going on about? =)
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
