Do you REALLY think that the popup will reduce the convenience MORE than REMOVING THE FEATURE ENTIRELY?
And the kernel is also used by Android
I watched such a drama unfold before me. It turned out that those seated were in the wrong theatre.
I think the quest for ever thinner phones and ever thinner batteries is to blame.
I want thicker phones with longer life.
I also think a battery-only recall would have been cheaper, so there is a lot to be said for removable batteries too.
I want user-replaceable batteries
I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I do know what I want.
How would you make the uber drivers go into an area they don't want to go into, if it isn't by offering them more money?? Armed police?

They think they found him and want to watch if his behaviour changes when they announce that they stopped looking for him.
So if the FBI are watching you, keep doing whatever you were doing, don't change ANYTHING right now, or they'll pounce.
And the rankings were wrong, and known to be wrong and adjusted by those with no knowledge of performance. And this was so layoffs could be called performance based termination.
To me that means: all Yank and no Brit.
Or: the emperors new clothes.
An American described by a brit to be wearing pants but not trousers would be wearing underpants only.
Sounds right to the American but in fact is woefully insufficient
Of course, you need some other mechanism to discover if those it catches are actually liars
No way do you make that argument in your post. Not even in your dreams:
The meaning of freedom (+1)
Raenex 2 days ago
The The Free Software Definition states as one of the "four essential freedoms": "The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this." (bold mine)
Let's say I gave somebody a car out of charity, but I didn't give them the owner's manual. Are they now less free because they will have a harder time fixing the car than before I gave them the car? If I was compelled to give the person the owner's manual with the car, or not give the car at all, am I not less free?
My point is this. The Free Software Definition conflates freedom with capability, and does so at the cost of what freedom really means. It's nice for propaganda purposes, but it's Orwellian in nature.
It could be argued honestly that in the name of consumer protection we limit freedoms for the greater good, such as requiring a list of ingredients in packaged food. However, it would be dishonest to argue for such laws in the name of "freedom".
To be clear: in your post you didn't mention Sweden, or the pirate party, or escrow.
I didn't narrow your argument, you didn't even make that argument. Not even your car analogy mentioned that the manual would have to be given only after 5 years.
I suggest you repost you question based on the past I am replying to.
You are making points now that you never made in your post and that were not even represented in your analogy.
I don't think RMS is telepathic either.
You seem to think that granting additional freedoms conditional on preserving them to others is a restriction merely because it is not unconditional, or because it is less that you hoped.
You are intent on arguing a strawman, probably because your argument falls apart otherwise. Again, I'm discussing the Free Software Definition irrespective of copyright law, whereas you are talking about the GPL in a state of copyright law.
If it is a strawman, you provided it. it shouldn't be this hard to find out what you are arguing.
You were actually discussing the conditional transference of a car that was your property.
I explicitly linked to the Free Software Definition in my first post. The discussion of the car analogy is in that context.
You certainly failed to make it clear what you were arguing, and your car analogy did not help.
Rubbish, copyright was being excercised to his detriment, not undermined
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/...
An excerpt:
"The bullying of the copyright industry in Sweden inspired the launch of the first political party whose platform is to reduce copyright restrictions: the Pirate Party. Its platform includes the prohibition of Digital Restrictions Management, legalization of noncommercial sharing of published works, and shortening of copyright for commercial use to a five-year period. Five years after publication, any published work would go into the public domain.
I support these changes, in general; but the specific combination chosen by the Swedish Pirate Party backfires ironically in the special case of free software. I'm sure that they did not intend to hurt free software, but that's what would happen.
The GNU General Public License and other copyleft licenses use copyright law to defend freedom for every user. The GPL permits everyone to publish modified works, but only under the same license. Redistribution of the unmodified work must also preserve the license. And all redistributors must give users access to the software's source code."
In my remark about copyright working to his detriment, I thought you were talking about his original proposals behind the GPL and FSF based on the Xerox printer incident.
But certainly in your extract here, he is not arguing for any particular laws or losses of freedom, only stating the conditions required to preserve freedom for all people. He even states that he supports these changes in general. I don't know how that could lead you to argue that he is dishonest and in fact wanting less freedom!
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
