A quick goolge does not tell me what are the actual differences in mtDNA genome that says "yes" this lot are not Homo sapiens, nor how much of a difference counts. Anyone? That's not how it works. The only "measurement" that really define

That app isn't defamatory though. Caricature isn't defamatory without associated symbolism or represented actions to make claims about the individual represented. Drawing a silly picture isn't enough, you would have to draw a picture of som

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. - Mark Twain I am a cautiously hopeful. The peace pact won't last without some legislative change, and they probably know it, so we might just see some lobbying for a saner patent law, muc

Someone should point this out to the people who make the penny squishing machines for tourists that they had on the San Francisco docks when I visited many moons ago. Does anybody know if they are still there at all?

Well, a lot of people get very confused with this stuff, especially between design copyright vs patents. And it isn't as though Stallman is exactly original in this complaint, so it makes little sense to look on him as being the main propon

Perhaps the coder could make a game, which invites you to play at flying each drone attack as each one gets reported in, with lots of american flags and funny voiced terrorists to kill. Call it "Patriot Death Force" and have a heavy metal s

I use it on commercial work sometimes, and I would agree that gimp is usability hell, but functionally very useful for a number of things. I keep meaning to go and have a look at the source to see how easy it would be to reskin, because it

Just make patents non-transferable instead, so they always must be licensed from the originating named individual or individuals (no direct patents by corps). That at least restricts the ability to amass a sizable monopoly over a whole sect

I don't know many people who want to cater to a market segment that will hate them as soon as they start needing to find ways to make payroll. So therefore the multi-billion dollar question is, what is it about the ways that companies are

Probably, but it still sort of fits this way round and it all seems to work. Let me know if any bits fall off and I'll give it a push and see what it does.
