Shooting somebody is worse than any disks, so yes, a few, compared to your bank manager or other legal thiefs anyway.
Sorry to distract to a sideline of this conversation but the Gnome thing is a symptom of a wider problem in the GNU/Linux world at this moment.
There is a war going on, a pityful money grabbing one packaged as an idiological one.
Simple said, Canonical and Red Hat are both undermining the GPL by changing the progammable environment into extreme complex beasts so that all others (not backed by lots of r&d money and lawyers) lose entrance to the material wheter it is GPL or not does not matter anymore, the entrance is too high.
They do it under a guise of having idiological Issues with each other, one backing Gnome and the other Unity.
Recently even the Kernel developers got caught into this mess, having Linus calling some maintainer of UDEV a lier.
Google UDEV and systemd to see the whole gory mess, and mind my words, this is only the beginning of the troubles in GNU/Linux land.
Surfaces are the photo of the real object, the trouble with surfaces is that you have to calculate the deception, and in the end the real thing will need much less energy.
We would not be able to be here if nature wasn't so efficient as it is, so taking natures algorithms and paterns to solve our space/time dilemma's is not such a bad idea.
It seems you got more chance to get a minimal sentence when you shoot your procecutor than copy a few disks.
This sort of imbalances in the judicial system will cost the country dearly in the end.
But tablets and other toys will make the PC go back to it's early days price tags because most people only want the toys, especially now thay have to work all day on this shitty PC at their work.
Not kill, but inability to buy due to price make the same outcome.
You mean like in torrent?
I see the qualification of the grandparent post is changed from troll into interesting, this is a good thing.
Their country to be critisized...
If you qualify a question as troll, even as biased as is, it means you have verry little self esteem...
It says that your stuff is of less value than something other that is free.
You could start try to compete on merit
How long will it take before all the legalese crap breaks loose?
Sooner or later powerful people will want to appropriate this while shielding and litigate the rest of us.
My experience of internet untill 2000 was much better than the "free shit" era that came right after 2000.
No language getho's, everybody spoke english and tried to understand each other and respect each other most of the times.
This "Free shit" era also brought the worse audience to the internet, there is no coincidence that the 2 came together.
I paid through my nose in those days to get online, but it was worth every penny, nowadays I stay online only because it is dirt cheap, internet for me became more or less worthless over time, and the "free shit" bringers are largely responsible for the devaluation of internet.
This automation of checking and acting on that is quite scary stuf.
It can ultimately lead to the opening scenes of Brazil, the movie made by Terry Gilliam.
How do you think those "uneducated and ignorant" voters are going to react if you try to rule them without representation?
Probably they will sulk in a corner and cowardly do nothing, but don't think that I am much more courageous.
The problem is that we the people failed to keep them, the political class, from gathering massive militairy power and money.
We stand no whatsoever chance to win, apart from maybe die by the billions to unseat this generation of the political class.
If we do win the power vacuum will be filled before you can say bleh.
I have no other solution than eradicate all of us if we want to solve this problem, where there are people there will be faul games, power grabs and war.
No conspiracy here, just how the world turns.
