It's cute that you think waste has to be hauled away and stored, instead of reprocessed into more fuel.

Missing option: The planet of another star

When arguing solar vs. nuclear, what you are really arguing about is where to put the reactor, and whether it's going to be a fusion reactor now, or a fission reactor now, with a fusion reactor replacing it later.

So are the companies selling solar. Meanwhile, Chevron is disappointed about codes for new construction not mandating the installation of furnaces requiring heating oil.

The "FP" in "FPGA" stands for "Field Programmable"; it's possible to compromise in the field, in a rather meaningful way.
 

That's easy!

Start with a computer that doesn't need tweaks/updates from time to time, and then add video conferencing software that allows you to not upgrade it in order to support new platforms because the basic protocol never changes, but is already ubiquitous on every platform someone might want to use, and get it all from a vendor who has no monetary interest in forced updates!

An elephant is a mouse with constantly changing government regulation.

Its ok, just a matter of time before Israel implements the final solution to the Palestinian problem.

You've apparently never driven on U.S. 101 in the SF Bay Area; the primary reasons for traffic slowdowns are:

(1) Auuuuuuuugh! There's a huge ball of light up in the sky! We fears it, my precious!

(2) Look! An accident! Is there blood? Hey, Bill, can you see any blood?!?!

(3) I must get in the fast lane because it is the "fast" lane, even though I'm coming up on my exit!

(4) I must get from the fast lane all the way over to the exit lane, but it's OK if this takes forever, I was in the fast lane for 50 feet, dammit!

(5) Yes, I know it's after 3 PM and before 7PM! What do you mean, the lane to the left of mine is "The Car Pool Lane"? I'm driving slow in the middle lane; if you want to pass, you should get into the car pool lane and pass, then get back into this lane; you probably won't get a ticket anyway...

(6) Let me race up in this lane that I need to be out of before too long, rather than getting over now, even though I see barricades ahead, because I know some dumbass will let me in, right? Right? Hey, dumbass, I'm talking to you!

(7) I want to get on one of the bridges, but I don't want to wait behind all the people who also want to get on one of these bridges, so I'm going to block the next lane over until someone lets me in just to punish everyone else... if I have to wait, then everybody else damn well has to wait, too.

That probably should have been a countdown; fast lane discipline while car pool hours are in effect is probably the number one cause of traffic slowdowns, followed by "I'm too stupid to get over ahead of time", with "Auuuugh! Ball of fire!" in third place...

Yeah I'm sure the schoolkids and babies are also terrorists.

Just look at the kill ratio to see who is more dangerous to whom.

The obvious solution? Just make a rule: "No Blasters."

The concept of the concentration camp was invented by the British in South Africa as a way to 'concentrate the population' of Boers into managed camps.

Gaza really isn't that much different.

As a general comment... it's pretty funny that this wouldn't be an issue, since they complied with the GPL as they were required to do, and published their sources.

Only the politics of Open Source is such that the projects that they published the changes for were not updated to include the changes, because they felt that it was not their responsibility to update their projects to include someone else's changes to their projects. They felt, instead, that it was the responsibility of the people making the changes to join their projects, and then make the changes with the editorial oversight of the community.

This is somewhat ironic, since they wouldn't have published the sources in the first place, if it hadn't been for the license.

So it's interesting to me that you can more or less not comply with the license by complying with it, and that the license is only effective for however long your product and company are around, and, if not picked up by the community to be carried forward, get lost after a short period of time, even if the company continues to exist.

I guess I wonder if it's legal to sell remaindered product (or used product) without offering the sources, per the terms of the license, or if, after that period of time, the products become illegal to transfer the binary licenses, since the originators are no longer around, and you cant appeal to them in order to get around your personal obligation, as the seller/reseller, to make the sources available any more (but you, as the middleman, failed to take advantage of the offer while it was possible to do so).

Probably, projects need to be a little less pissy about integrating third party changes, fixes, and extensions back into their main line.

Pretty sure they want it dead.

Perhaps next time you should do a little searching around for the fille PODS_1_2_OpenSrc_Orig_Mods.zip which can no longer legally be distributed before you ask me to distribute it, rather than merely giving you enough information that you could find it if you were smart enough to be able to do the type of programming that the OP is asking to be able to do in the first place, since it's going to be pretty useless to you otherwise.
