So far I've only seen Pina in 3D, but with this flick it was really great. I think that it is one of the movies that really gained from the technology. Still, at times it was annoying that you have to look more or less exactly where the director wants you to look, because otherwise its out of focus.

Unfortunately, all the things AC wrote are indeed happening.

No, because they have only to comply with one of the three clauses (a), (b), or (c), and even if they choose (b), they only have to provide the written offer to the receiver of the binary, notwithstanding that the actual offer must be valid for any third party (thereby making 3(c) possible).

WRONG: Firstly, they may distribute the source code alongside with the binary (see 3(a)), and if they choose 3(b), the offer has to be valid for any third party, but they only have to give it to the person who receives the binary. This person could then decide to post the offer on the Internet.

Also wrong, they can charge all they want for the binary, because only when you receive the binary you are legally entitled to also get the source code. In other words, at least one person must pay the guys, and this person can then redistribute the binary and the source code gratis.

Because AC is right.

The GPL clearly states that you may redistribute the binary provided that one of the three options 3(a-c) is fulfilled. Clearly, choosing (a) and redistributing the source code alongside with the binary is enough to comply with the GPL.. Redistributing by means of 3(c) can only be offered by someone who got the offered the source code by means of 3(b).

How so? Unless someone who bought the binary comments on this topic, we don't know.

Of course: people innovate, with or without patents. They did so for millennia without patent protection and it went just fine. Actually, without patents its easier to innovate, because you don't need to worry about other peoples "intellectual property", instead you have to worry about how to stay ahead.

No, what is trying to tell you is that for 20 years we are told that Iran almost has nukes. One would think that if they really wanted them, they would already have them by now.

That's not what he is claiming. Where I come from (Germany) we go by bike to work and don't take a shower each time, because we don't got that fast, and hence, don't sweat. Still, with the bike you can take short cuts that are not allowed for the car, you can avoid traffic lights and jam traffic, and because of that you will not lose much time as compared to going by car, in other words the 25min vs. 15 min figures is reasonable.

Just say "arch" and change the program, because this simulation has gone way off.

I second that.

It only feels wrong because of your moral perspective, just ask Phlox.

Free lunch? You paid for the graphics card, right?

Telling the troll to spend all the money on defending onself seems to be the best bet to win.
