I think that this is fairly reasonable. When joining the military you agree to abide a very different set of laws and rules. I think that it is fair to demand that military personnel respect their Commander in Chief.

Not even close. By default there is no license at all.

Out of curiosity what is classified as "Quake in Space" and "WoW in Space" ?

“Whenever I would talk in Washington about this cloud technology enabling data centers to run without people, this was interpreted as jobs going away,” Kemp says. “There was a serious political challenge to the project…and I was called before the NASA administrator — of the whole agency — to explain it.”

This is disturbing to say the least.

Does this mean that the entire Android userland will run on a vanilla 3.3 kernel?

Tangentially related: How does one write 'modern' LaTeX today? What packages/tools do people use to ensure their documents work properly?

Why is it not possible to compile gcc with llvm-gcc? The last time I checked llvm-gcc compiles C and C++ with most GNU extensions.

This is outrageous, I can't believe that Zuckerburg did not try any other action after the window closed to prevent paying so much tax.

Is it possible for all of these to be implemented as git command aliases?

This is an excellent talk. The presenter has tremendous energy.

This honestly looks like the plot of a movie.

The first event was learning Ruby. See: http://ladieslearningcode.com/events/

How did you get your operating system to do that?

That is the textbook definition of anything related to Intellectual Property. The State is supposed to grant a time limited monopoly and in exchange the protected item will return to the public once it is finished.

I'm not going to purchase a device because the software might improve in the future. I'm going to purchase a device that has functional software from day 1. Otherwise every day that I have to use the terrible software until it is improved is another cost that I have to pay.

I really wish this was baked into some SASS framework so I could get this for free.

Can anyone shed some light on how this can happen? Don't managers use the product and ensure that it is better than the previous versions? How can they release Playbook OS 2.0 without BBM, email, etc?

If money influencing Congress is a problem then why should they contribute to it?

I wonder if his son's violent statements toward SK will turn into violent actions.

pg places a black bar on top of the orange bar when some one significant dies.

Did anyone care about the health of the gladiators?

If labels have copyright over the song they have a legal monopoly over reproduction of the song (minus fair use). The Internet alone cannot destroy this type of monopoly for legal services.

After browsing the source, I am amazed at how wonderfully simple it is. Clojure really made writing this simple.

I have the solarized color scheme on iTerm 2 and I think it looks terrible. It doesn't look as bright and colorful as the screenshots in the github repo or the actual nyan cat.

The use of the solarized colorscheme is wonderful.

I really wish github would develop a web intents api like Twitter. Then one can watch repos and follow other users much like the follow bottons for twitter.

HN does have sub-domain support if the link is posterous or a few other sites. I don't know why it is not enabled for all links though.

  What do you do when feature work is long standing and     worked on by multiple people?

In this case there should be a topic branch for the big feature and all development comes off that branch. You can simply replace master with the topic branch and topic branch with your personal branch and this model will work.

Right now in Canada I am paying high rates for antiquated service. There is still long distance, I have to pay extra for voicemail + caller id, etc.

I agree that government sponsored monopolies probably could not keep up with the pace of innovation. However in industries where natural monopolies occur, I think they are the better solution then private enterprise.

In Canada, it used to be that receiving text messages was free. However, one of the three carriers decided to charge for incoming texts. Sure enough, in less than a year, the other two carriers followed and also charged for incoming texts. I have a strong feeling to say that sort of behavior would not occur if there was a government sponsored monopoly.

The obvious solution is better regulation, but I don't think anyone has found a solution to regulatory capture yet so I'm not banking on anything there.
