Yeah, I thought it would be something like that. The other option might be green tea extracts, but I have no experience with these and you may end up with a higher caffeine dose, even though green tea is usually far lower on the caffeine th

Instead of capsules, you could also go for green tea - the better brands (go at least with proper loose leaves or matcha etc.) have Theanine cranked to 11.

Through some studying of my sleeping habits (polyphasic sleeping for more than two months now etc.), I can say that the 90 minute rule breaks down around the 2 cycle mark - it is usually preferable to sleep 3.5 hours and not 3, particularly

I know it's just "one example", but is it really that hard to remember that a few programs have that particular combination reserved? In most terminals I know, you just do Ctrl+Shift+x/v/c. Pressing one more key because you are in a special

In that case, you probably want to consult a lawyer beforehand anyhow. If you're working on something truly disruptive and innovative to an established market, software licenses might be your smallest concern.

Well, the GNU Project has a pretty extensive list[1], so I'm not sure whether you just haven't seen this yet, or whether there is a different concern here. [1] http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html

I think 'Save' is just infinitely harder to visualize than 'Download'. There is precisely one meaning of 'Download' (moving data over the internet onto a device). I could go on and on about how many different meanings 'Save' has (remember h

Of course, there is no 'viral' nature of the GPL, please don't spread FUD like that. The fact that your licenses have to be legally compatible and thus using GPL code in your software can be a restriction that benefits using more free licen

I think my example holds because it would be possible to replace either part of the process without the other one failing. That would be the argument by dependency. Wikipedia has a pretty good section on the more broad legal background: ht

Well, that's Hacker News. Then again, I would have downvoted you just for mentioning ESR. ;-)

Again - Free as in Freedom, not Free as in Price. "“Free software” does not mean “noncommercial.” A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free softw

You are correct about the AGPL, just be careful with wording it like "everything that it touches". I don't think that is true at all - if you have a website and use AGPL code, the AGPL states that your users have a right to see that code. I

And I was not saying that you did - I was replying to another commenter and didn't even claim that he did. The problem with getting worked up about DDOS is that it isn't technically possible to make a clear judgment from it - that's what I

No, that's not what he was saying at all. He said people should stop making proprietary software. Whether or not a software is free as in freedom or proprietary has nothing to do with price.

by skore 15y ago
Then let me rephrase: It is possible to DDOS a site without leaving a trace that clearly shows malicious intent and thus establishes criminal liability. So while most DDOS attacks are indeed motivated to destroy, they are not the clear cut

No, it just says that if anybody uses your software, they are entitled to get the source code. So on most GUN+Linux distributions, this is already the case. Not so much on the internet when you use a service on a website. The AGPL basically

Oh look, it's that tired and misleading argument again. The Free in Free Software stands for freedom. He is not making a statement on pricing, but on liberty. Furthermore, I must say that his DDOS argument is a lot more valid than you give

I think they may just be a lot better at framing the options for the people they manipulate in favor of their desired outcome. Mostly out of necessity, because people really don't often like helping or working for jerks. The most successful

Again - please read the article. This lady is writing about how free food was offered to her in exchange for a lower wage and was then gradually eliminated (which is different from completely eliminated). So yes, from what that lady writes,

Maybe you should read the article - the argument was that while yes, perks were offered as a reason to accept a smaller wage, they were then gradually eliminated without changing the wage.

Merlin Mann once explained it like this: "A geek is somebody who can fix your computer. A nerd is somebody who could fix your computer, but first has a need to talk to you about fixing your computer for a good while." I prefer "nerd".

I apologize for being slightly uncivil (although I saw it as stating my question deliberately terse), but "it's not a straw man" isn't really a good response against a claim that your argument is a straw man, don't you think?

Eben Moglen was asked "What's so bad about Social Networks?". Then he talked about what he thinks is bad about social networks. You say: "His argument isn't valid because he isn't talking about what is good about social networks". Instead

Moglen is not attacking a straw man, he is stating his honest, if misguided, beliefs. Seems like you finally got it! (Although I disagree that his beliefs are misguided.) Moglen was stating his beliefs because he was asked for them. You

'effectively' being the key word here. You are estimating this to be his position, but it is not. See: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1349229 "Diaspora team takes on Eben Moglen as informal advisor"

Mr. Moglen is well known to speak against and was asked to comment on the drawbacks of social networks. You are attacking a straw man if you complain that he isn't talking about the benefits. Person A: Sunny days are good. Person
