And there are probably other great works that might be produced, were it not for copyright. No model is the only possible world, and certainly not the best possible world. Different models give you different things. People figure out how to

I don't think the founders sat around thinking up ways for people to be paid. The money earned by copyright wasn't the point, that was just the necessary incentive at that time to achieve the goal: that people wrote for publication, so that

Stepping up just slightly from the fact that this is about a gun, this is really just part of the movement to get access and production closer to people, with fewer intermediaries. Linux and other open source. Servers. Personal assistants.

" I'm talking about the trend to make that app store the only distribution channel available." Indeed. I think Microsoft is retreating into an echo chamber. By making the app store the only practical way to distribute products, Microsoft is

Just move on. You're assuming too much significance in where you are, will be or have been in your life. The universe, and most relevantly Company A, doesn't care. We are merely instances of fungible transactions in the retail employment ec

Overreaction? You live and die by the sword. Apple's sword has been insanely great products that just work. Insanely, their map offering just works. If you're Apple then you must expect and accept a lot of pushback when you release someth

Do the 1-2 month chargeback, and then when you've got that, take the company to small claims court. The chargeback may bring you extra weight (or not, IANAL).

Very cool. "It’s a set of Bash function that replaces cd and adds b and f commands." In case this makes anyone hesitate, note that it's not an absolute replacement or reimplentation of cd, it calls the builtin cd and you still get all that.

Maybe never. But how about "a group of doctors produces an open cancer cure in an ongoing collaboration." Like the linux kernel.

"Metro makes it a lot easier for most developers to sell native apps on Windows." As long as Microsoft approves your app. I want my politically incorrect apps, full of boobs, farts, surveillance evading tools and bomb-making instructions.

And, dollar cost of the fuel is not the only cost of maintaining a "long supply tail." There's also the dollar cost of all the ships and sailors on that tail, and there's the logistical opportunity costs: we have to protect that tail with m

"lower your standards" If I understand your intent, I would prefer to read this as "widen your standards." You're not deciding to intake less capable people. Rather, you're deciding to intake people of more varied specific experience.

Well, the NSA is building that data center in Utah to store and process all the data they're hoovering up. That data would be much more useful if it weren't encrypted. So they do at least have a motive, even if the ability can't be proved.

This (updates of any kind) is 25% of why my Galaxy is sitting in my sock drawer (75% being the cost of the data plan and "being a hotspot" fee). I discovered that I bought a computer that cannot be updated except by the whim of an intermedi

I streamed to Gnome Player and Audacious, and in both cases the stream died. Gnome Player twice, right around the time that you were talking about running your own CA vs buying, and Audacious a minute or so after that. Couldn't say why, sor
