Your example are great, but you can't change the aim of the camera in shot. Which I believe is part of the point of this DIY

And yet people do EXACTLY that all the time (even your example of building (or restoring) a car...

Of course things changed. Back then the conspiracy theories were just theories... now they are fact.

Just look at the number of people here who claim "the tsa is ok, as long as one person is saved" or "its ok for them to listen to our phonecalls, if it saves just one life." That is fear talking.

Less is generally better. Fewer lines (I should say fewer statements) are generally easier to read, and typically have fewer errors. Of course that doesn't mean you have to cram everything into one line.

I don't know what you think an IDE does, but any good IDE pretty much ONLY allows you to work on the "raw" .c or .cpp files. IDEs will usually have dialog editors that allow you to visually edit the resource files. But this is about the only "abstracting" away an IDE will do for you. Of course the advantage of using an IDE, the IDE will allow you to jump around and access definitions and declarations much easier.

ok, so they collected data from corporations, by "court order" without a reasonable suspicion. (And no, "something might possibly happen" isn't a reason). Then when a foreign suspect pops up (notice how they use the word "terrorist" but here a person is innocent until proven guilty, so they are at best a suspect) They then search ALL the data they illegally collected. This also sounds like an unreasonable search. Then and only then did they then "follow proper procedures" and laws. And that somehow makes it ok?
It is still unconstitutional. We have the right to be secure in our persons and our belongings. This meant we were secure.
All thanks to the boogey man.

So, what you are saying is, all of the people who HAVE given their lives for the freedom of our country, wasted their life? They shouldn't have bothered. They should have saved themselves, stayed alive. Because it is more important to be alive, than to be free?

If you make it difficult to use patents and copyrights as "offensive" weapons, then how do you protect your patent or copyright? And how are the more corporation focused than inventor/artist focused?

He didn't say you had to pay the interns. You only have to pay them if you make them do essentially grunt work. You hire interns to train them. They may still do some lower end jobs, for free, as long as they are learning.

No, no we don't. Just because you do, doesn't mean everyone else does as well.

I guess it is too hard to say "I release this work to public domain?" yep too much effort to type...

That is the thing, EVERY repository in github has a license. Perhaps only 14.9% are explicit. And perhaps it is because the younger generation doesn't know better, not because they care or don't care. Even if you release it to public domain, that is a license.
The way I read the summary was "blah blah blah" 85% of github falls under copyright, meaning you can't copy it without permission.

You do realize that EVERY means of security IS based solely on obscurity. Its just some stuff is more obscure than others.

Pretty much by definite security IS obfuscation. The question is, how obscure is it.
That pirates gold is pretty safe if you don't have a map...
