Be a wage slave for yourself or be a wage slave for some fat-cat CEO. HMMM tough choice ;p

No, but it does rely on GNU.

one of the highest priorities, especially for bootstrapped startups, is to ship while lean on resources. In other words, exploit the human resource as much as possible while paying them as little as possible? Makes sound business sense to

I wanted to say that Haiku OS has done it but then again...I'm sure they use some GNU code somewhere.

The GPL has ultimately done more harm than good for open source That's the point. The GPL is for free software. Scared of what codebase? I'm more scared of proprietary software than anything because who knows wtf it's doing.

If you can afford a MacBook you can afford to be a vigilante and pay whatever fine there is for that.

I find their "current status of the industry" interesting: Today the industry is highly polarized as far as salaries are concerned, having one end with fairly high salaries compared to the rest of the working class and the others with wage

Cool, they get to learn to rule with an iron fist in a few weeks. Now that is progress.

Unions aren't against technological improvements they're just against how quickly those improvements would be put into place because a LOT of jobs would be lost. If driverless subways for example were phased in as workers retired, I'm sure

Wow this sounds like a great idea. I'm curious about Clojure, what exactly makes it most efficient? Is it due to the Lispy-ness of it? ;)

How about unschooling/homeschooling? Being stuck in a classroom all day was torture and do you really think students learn best when they're forced to be obedient? And on the job, rather than the adversarial management vs. union mentality

The difference is that bureaucrats know how to work the system. They make sure that they aren't fired. Haven't you ever noticed that management can stay the same at a company but it's the workers who are replaced (at least more frequently r

About #7, a cigar = relaxing because, at least when I smoke a cigar, I sit outside and just relax for an hour and let my mind have a rest. Cigarettes seem more like an obsessive-compulsive thing to do with your hands. Obviously a cigar is s

Why does it seem ludicrous? Copyright and "intellectual property" have created more problems than they have solved.

By being a wage-slave, it's possible to make just enough money to live. Cool.

That's dumb, why do they care so much about copyright? I was going to re-new my subscription but I'm not sure I will. Are there any good open source space games that accept donations?

With coderwall, there's no way I'm going to alter my behavior in order to get badges on it. But it's fun - very fun - to see what badges appear, and to compare myself to other people. You're already altering your behaviour by checking out

in reply to your aside: you could use something like Twill for command-line navigation script (doesnt work with javascript though I don't think) http://twill.idyll.org/commands.html

I'm just going to leave this here: http://adamloving.com/internet-programming/gamification There is good gamification and bad gamification. Bad gamification is slapping extrinsic rewards (or a contrived story) on top of an interaction. G

Ah, the G8 and G20, only getting things done that benefit everyone at the top. These meetings are meetings for collusion, none of the leaders represent the actual values of voters.

Phishers won't like this because there will exist things like Web Of Trust that help identify bad sites. I'm assuming Google will provide the same functionality.

Maybe the problem isn't the GPL, maybe it's the rest of society because we want to keep trying to make money off of something by being selfish.

Because of propaganda. Developers and managers at commercial software companies contribute to it. They call the GPL viral or infectious. The FSF needs to up its own propaganda game to counter this non-sense :/

It looks like the propaganada of calling the GPL "infectious" and "cancerous" has worked. It's sad that some programmers continue to call the GPL viral because it gives an overly negative connotation. I understand if you dislike the license
