Actually I think that GPL almost goes as far to encourage this hosting model. If you want to incorporate non open source code or libraries then you actually CAN'T release that code to the world. The only way to offer people that functionali

I think it is an unfortunate situation where insulting a stupid proposition is seen as worse than proposing it in the first place. My belief is that thinking people should take a tougher line on ignorance, irrationality and stupidity. By ch

OK fair enough. I did think you were the same person. However like the first post your post does tend to perpetuate a meme that exists in the absence of evidence or common sense. Without any evidence it falls into the same category as 'Obam

So now you have moved your position from tofu to soy in general and you still don't even present the slightest hint of evidence. You simply say "you've heard arguments". I'm guessing you weren't so concerned over trifles like evidence when

Better to take it than allow it to fall into the hands of some hoodlum/criminal. Seriously I think that would be some people's mindset/excuse. Especially in the 'Broken Window' case.

Obviously the root subject matter is very serious. Neverless sadly there are many deaths and suicides in the world. So... Please let us not turn this place into something like a reality TV series where the participants become more important

If this is truely their approach then the iPhone is going to start looking like a pretty lame platform within a few years. There will be too many cool and interesting new things out there that just don't work on it.
