Copyright, trademark, and patents are all different - please don't confuse them, the same people that invented the propaganda term "IP" are the same that would love the confusion to grow.

They have different purposes, cover completely different ideas, and are definitely not interchangeable.

QT Designer is quite good.

She should take a hint from KFC, not fulfill the promise, and just delay it in courts until it turns into a $3 coupon years later that requires OCD record keeping to capitalize on.

Oh wait, this is a small business, those don't hold voting rights in our corporatocracy.

You sound pretty biased. You sound like someone who inherited an all Oracle shop. Sorry :P

How do you know he violated his oaths?

Oh shit, yeah - that's what a trial is for - my bad.

Well, set us straight then.

Person 1 wants money, and person 2 wants to give it to them. Person 2 has lots of money to spend that he's trusted with by other people, so he can't just give the money to person 1, so he comes up with a way to include it as part of a bigger deal that looks like business.

Sounds like the textbook definition of corruption I learned in macro econ in highschool. This clumsy scheme is just above obvious, too. I guess it works so well with Chertoff and Rapiscan, hell, why even try to hide it anymore?

Wallstreet should get a clue - they don't need to create 5 layers of finiancial instruments to hide corruption anymore - this is 2011. The govt does whatever the hell it wants, and if you don't like it the media will paint you to be an unwashed mass who needs "to get a job".

Sorry, I started to vent a little there.

Right after the Columbine thing happend (I was in highschool), the school I was at started banning stuff left and right. Noting the ridiculousness in a very similar fashion to waht you are doing here, me and a few buddies printed out a ream of flyers declaring that "Sharp writing utensils, including pencils and pens will be confiscated" and that you have to use "approved safe" writing instruments like markers and crayons.

We then snuck out during an assembly and taped them up everywhere. Amazing, noone got caught - but it was effective. A few students took them home, some discussion started, and some of the bans were lifted (including dusters/long coats).

It was the proudest moment of highschool for me :)

Nice. I'll have to check out your SIMple software, although I'm going to come right out and say you didn't pick a very google friendly name :P

Someone has thought of the kids!! http://maketecheasier.com/doudoulinux-a-fun-linux-distro-for-kids/2010/11/26

I don't think the usage of 'Occupy' jumping the shark has anything to do with the solidarity of the protestors and the american people, who are fighting back the entrenched, inequitable powers that be.
Call what they are doing whatever you want, actions speak louder than words.

When I bought IDA Professional, in the EULA it explicitly spelled out several things:
1.) I an install it on any machine I own
2.) I can make backups
3.) I can reverse engineer the software
If only the rest of the world worked that way. They trust their users - and it inpires a level of respect, at least with me, where there is absolutely no chance I would share a copy.

Slackware? Sounds like some kind of prepackaged easy route for sissies. I started with some .1 kernel I saw posted in comp.os.minix, and created a MMU, VM, and web browser for it. Never bothered to implement javascript and flash, that stuff sucks anyways.

Sweet - a real answer. To be honest, what I was getting in with my awfully pointed original question, was that most people don't know what an assault rifle is, and the point is moot because you cannot purchase a full auto anything legally anwyays. You can; however, purchase semi automatic shotguns and long range, accurate hunting rilfes all day long that will do a sub .5in MOA at hundreds of yards. What you don't see, is people getting sniped all over the country or warfare happening all over just because these implements are available. People get stabbed to death in the UK, some people get thrown down stairs here. Some people get shot. It doesn't matter the tool, some people are murderous assholes and most are not.
I probably shouldn't care so much, but I think the last thing a dictatorship does (like the Nazi's you spoke of) is take away to common man's right to defend themselves and try their damndest to make every not trust eachother so they have to trust the gov (stranger danger, etc.)
I can see where people would be awfully nervous with other people lawfully owning firearms when everybody thinks that rapists and murderers are all over the place in mass quantities ( the irony here is deep, but I'll leave that alone)

Could you explain to me, concisely:
1.) What an assault rifle is
And then, please explain to me in plain terms
2.) how said rifle is more dangerous than a shotgun - or even better - a hunting rifle.

I'm really curious.
