Q: Does Xbox One require an “always on” Internet connection?
A: No, it does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet. We’re designing Xbox One to be your all-in-one entertainment system that is connected to the cloud and always ready. We are also designing it so you can play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if you lose your connection.

Obviously it all depends on the sample, however it is not a method for crackpots, if used correctly. It proved useful a few times.

They have a leading system now.
Third out of three is "having a leading system" now? At least original Xbox was second.

The total Islamic population of France is probably under 10% - the total African and Islamic-descended population is under 15%. Even if ALL of those people wanted Sharia, they would be a tiny minority. I'm calling you on your thesis.
And so what? Those who wanted a theocracy during the Iranian revolution were a minority, still Iran became a theocracy. Same stuff for the Arabian Spring. Mussolini became prime minister with just 35 members of parliament on a total of 535. The Bolsheviks, despite their name, were a minority in the revolutionary forces. The sheer numbers do not matter, but being vocal matters, laissez-faire matters: religious and political extremism in Europe is on the rise.

GPL "steals" code from BSD = your wife cheats on you and you feel ashamed because you know it and there's little you can do about it.
Close source "steals" code from BSD = your wife cheats on you and everybody knows and laughs at you, but you don't know so you're happy.
For some reason BSD zealots prefer the latter situation and don't know why everybody laughs at them.

Um what? Clang is open source. WebKit was open sourced by Apple. Under the GPL they are only obligated to release modifications to the original KHTML base code. They are under no obiligations to release JavascriptCore or WebCore but they did.
They actually are: JavascriptCore and WebCore are both under the LGPL and KHTML derived.
