I think you are confusing push and pull communication. Twitter does not ring up every single person on the planet whenever I share something, but what I share does appear in their feed once they care to check. If it were push communication,

Joomla has very extensive community issues. I've written a bit about it over here[1] and you can check out Johan Janssens (Joomla co-founder in exile) blog[2] for more in-depth analysis. The bottom line is - take a look at Nooku[3] - especi

Not really. As you say - you can behave differently to different people. That doesn't change your person - it only changes what facet of your person is obvious to others. So the "true self" concept actually is very agreeable with the "facet

Very nice comments in the first article from September 2005: "If Google is just a house of cards, what's he so worried about??" "Ballmer is not worried about google. that's WHY he said he would burry them. granted google will be a strong

Because there are some people who care about the social and philosophical implications of their work or hobby. If you don't need that, that's fine. Go with "Open Source", or "Copyleft" or whatever suits you. The only reason why we insist th

I do not wish to claim it. But when I and others say "Free Software", we mean a particular thing. Whether or not you agree with that makes no difference to the reality of the history of the movement. And yes, "Open Source" includes GPL lice

...And then there are others who care about the history of how Free and Open Source Software came about. (Do note that I'm from Germany, so for me "Frei", the literal translation of "Free", is closer to Freedom than it is to Free Beer.) Als

Added this in the comment box: I'm not actually employed by anybody - there ARE people on Open Source who are self-employed. You should add that as an option. Also - You might want to consider making the last question (about what need OpenS

Another well known phenomenon in old science fiction is the utter lack mobile phones. Flying around space, shooting at each other with laser rifles. And then they hop into a phone booth to have A VIDEO CALL! (Yes, I'm looking at you, Blade

You're probably just trolling, but it needs to be said every time: The freedom that the GPL takes away is the freedom to bring down the system. It keeps people in check and prevents corruption. If you enjoy the freedoms of MIT and BSD style

No, that is not at all what he said. Actually, nobody said that. The assertion is that when you consider suicide, you have your reasons and those reasons are a product of your environment. A chance to see yourself in a completely new enviro

I'm not really sure whether arguing the "the work you receive might suck" case is helpful for the discussion. (I'm also pretty sure that it won't get you much love here for that train of though ;-) ) If that's where you start, sure, you can

No. There is a difference between pirating for personal use or even sharing with others and re-publishing content for profit. Copyright survives precisely because it is not enforced 100% - if it was followed by the letter, everybody would v

An interesting point - after all, if this was really about creating a good magazine and not having enough time to write the content, going with public or CC licensed content would actually make a lot of sense. So the way she conducted her b

There sure is a disconnect going on between how big corporations utilize copyright to their advantage and how regular folks deal with it, rather hamfistedly, as in this case. I disagree with your earlier statement that this might be a new w

As soon as something is "made into a facebook group", all bets are off, I suppose. This kind of abuse is rarely (if ever) justified, so I agree with you, but I would also add that it's her making this statement and I have kind of stopped tr

And to add to the "annoying" bit - do not even bother to watch that youtube video. I kid you not, it is precisely 40% soundbites of the talk (with only slightly more nutritional value than a talk outline) and 60% mindless electronic music (
