Legitimate hate-speech. "No sir, ours is 100% legitimate!"

Yeah, I'm with the other reply, you and too many other people here are saying "Weev was a jerk". Yeah? Well I think you're a low-life for making decent treatment conditional on your LIKING of someone, especially since I highly doubt you've

That's just concern troll nonsense, or what someone who'd never heard of software would say. It's easier to download a range of IDs than to guess which ones are valid. And "three email addresses leaked - hacker claims more could be at risk

When it's a laptop full of customer information left around in the street - as this analogously was, do you tell the company so they can cover it up or the news so people know to watch for fraudulent charges? Weev joked about a lot. Stuff t

Isn't it amazing how people come out of the woodwork to point out the force inherent in the GPL never say "oh, by the way, thanks for publishing a reference spec I'm free to use to develop my own code." As Thomas said, people would be less

If they're trying on their own dollar, no. But there's a difference too in how they do it. I don't think we should try to make people equal, but to make people equally represented by society.

The company I work at employs a few open source devs and we usually hire people who are already doing things we want, but we just want more of, or to have our use case a bit better supported. We don't really get to dictate what they code,we

Considering you're brushing off everything he said and trotting out tired justifications nobody asked for maybe you're just using any excuse - the profanity will do - to justify ignoring him. Besides, those good reasons aren't. a) You spent

I'd consider it easier to debug a piece of meta-code as long as the language wasn't too hostile to it, than multiple sections of similar code that need to be scanned manually to keep in sync. And for those corner cases, code them as one-off

Do you know what really destroys economic efficiency? Well-meaning people handing out monopolies to things they don't understand and then creating laws, agencies, courts, and breeding specialized lawyers to navigate the mess - all taken fro

But patents aren't a solution, the free rider phenomenon is called progress - not a problem, and by legal you mean you're on the side that does it. Of course it's profitable though, to declare other peoples' ideas to be your property, so if

Well, to be fair, independent invention doesn't matter for patents ... you aren't exporting as much as claiming what they invented as your own and exporting a license to use it.

by wnight 13y ago
This is a perfect example of missing the point though. Patents aren't the goal, they're a tool congress can use. The goal is to promote the invention of useful things. Patents are probably the worst way you could come up with to do this

People in this thread have had workarounds and solutions that would work but would not work on an iPhone. Such as leaving drop box syncing in the background. If you could change the background app policy... Its not as much that another ecos

Sure, as people themselves. But as my employee, no. Only if it really serves me. We pay the bills so we can make some requirements.

The problem is that life is full of what looks like trivial tricky problems. Your reaction, and what you consider beneath you, is far more valuable in hiring than your performance.

Throw in on-site daycare and you'll have a very attractive deal. Did you find insurance that the employees can keep at the same rate even if the company folds or they're terminated? I heard someone talking about your problem #4 and how they

Man-on-the-street interviews show a depressing inability to point to Canada on a globe. Whose hand does your first-hand experience come from?

I think you're arguing with the mirror. I said it's like [the fallacy of] thinking a road has no value ... And I see a lot of businesses selling stuff like 3d printers who use open designs and contribute changes back to the community. Lock-

No, I mean Iraq. Bush lied about an Osama connection to justify a war with Saddam.

Strangely, I think it's only the guns that matter because you're not asking for anyone else's opinion on your courts.

Likely. Who'd ever enact a law without a goal? But it's wrong headed and pointless as well as being unjust.

"Up to our level" of holding prisoners, many not captured anywhere near a battlefield or with evidence of fighting the USA and leaving them in prison without trial. Of bombing whoever, whenever, wherever, without a trial, and without review

No, no force was used right here, but the USA routinely uses force where it's politically handy, like chasing Osama into Iraq. So it's more like me having extracted your friend's wallet and turning to you with bloody knuckles and asking pol

So if I take you into a small room and return with your wallet, its a defense that you, ultimately broken and bleeding, handed it to me to make the pain stop?

Unless a business in that position attempts to enforce its position, what's the problem? If he is making something easier for others he should be rewarded or he'll stop. It's like saying a road has no value because stuff isn't created on th

You support the USA forcing extradition of foreigners, and you've said that extraordinary rendition isn't a crime, so really it's your turn. I don't support this at all, but I'd let you be taken because you do. That'd end this sooner than y
