GNU has already given a solution to this kind of situation. It's called AGPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html). But the problem is most people would be happy to avoid GPL, and stick with BSD, because a lot of people want that. If anyone can start with AGPL, that's a great start.

PS: AGPL is the strictest GPL there is, like, LGPL is a looser version of GPL. It pretty much means, you give away almost all the stack. I don't understand the whole license, but I do know it's the strictest.

"What this demonstrates is that rats will go to another rat's aid, and nothing about their internal models for doing so."

The notion of aid implies it has a mental model of the other rat and that it consideres the other rat as a rat that needs help.

I don't understand why people always think of humans as outstanding and totally different from other species. Or do you think that humans are only exhibiting kin selection too and that empathy is nothing but a ideological concept? How do you prove empathy in humans? (And please apply the same rigor.)

That's funny, I have this technique that I ALWAYS use before a date, and sometimes before going out when I want to be on fire. But especially before a date, as I'm usually really nervous, it works like crazy!

So basically, I just have to do 5 approaches. Random people, guy or girl, single or group. What do I say? I just ask for the direction, if I have a date in a coffee, well I just ask the person where is the coffee. It's easy, it makes you speak to someone you don't know, it warms you up.

Also as I'm reaching the 5th approach I try to be more and more talkative about my questions. Trying to ask other question, engage in some other discussion...

My 2 cents!
I don't see any reason why media companies don't offer their content on subscription. You wouldn't have to shop then. You just pay your 10 or 15 bucks a month, and you can watch whatever the content provider releases.

"my friend" would be happy to have BBC content on subscription, but all "he" is left to do is use easynews.com subscription for downloading. He would be happy to pay that to the content owner instead. But the content owner doesn't want that.

To think that just a few years ago, groans could be heard for miles if some relative/friend invited you for a "fun evening" involving a slide projector… Yes, sure, you can do it on your own time and skip the less interesting parts (and, well, probably more cat pictures now), but it probably has even less of a narrative. To me, this makes it even more passive, some kind of disjoint idling stream-of-consciousness obsession with killing time…
Europe to issue tough new data-protection rules soon
Too less too late. They should focus all their energies on BBX and be a lot more developer friendly.
Interesting , haven't read that license in detail.
Does this mean that as soon as I run something on a network (or just the internet?) I am required to push my changes back upstream immediately?

However I have a feeling that there is a sufficient body of GPL/LGPL code out there that people will just modify that.

Since a lot of OSS code is contributed by companies, they don't really have any incentive to contribute to an AGPL project (in most cases).
yeah, i've been working there a few months, and the perks are very nice, but the people i get to work with, and the deep belief in code quality, are what makes it such a pleasure to work there. (that said, i'd be seriously upset if the shuttles were taken away).

That because they are playing the big studios game. They shouldn't, they should play their own and find their own market.

This fast-food/drive-through like consumption of information as entertainment is not a step in the right direction for many reasons.

1. Movies are like a time taken out of life for entertainment. Instagram, facebook are bite size distractions that can be frustrating/counter-productive because they don't entertain when they're distracting you from your work (which is most of the time).

2. Facebook/Instagram etc. psuedo-socializing tools are a step back for social animals like human beings. They'll promote loneliness in a crowd when misused/overused. This is in contrast with a night out with friends watching movies.

3. I forgot the link of an article which was a very succinct account of how people use social networks these days. Highlighting only the good parts of their lives, creating a whole new dynamics for "Keeping up with the Joneses".

Lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Movies are a unique form of entertainment with no parallels in Social networks or gaming industries.
My understanding is that Unit Tests are intended to protect you while refactoring. Refactoring is not intended to change implementation or purpose, it is intended to restructure without such changes. As such, Unit Tests should (pretty much) never be broken by true refactoring.

Enhancement, improvement and extension are all likely to break Unit Tests, because they can easily require that you change the way things currently work. In this case end-to-end tests are what you need, to make sure your system is producing the right results, including the new enhancements, but especially including the previous results.

In my experience, you can't make substantial improvements to a system with all Unit Tests in place and untouched.

Equally in my experience, with comprehensive Unit Tests you can refactor without fear, and constantly ensure your code is clean and ready for the next phase of development.

One thing that he fails to mention is that this only works if you live with a partner, as he does, since you're guaranteed some company throughout the day.

Writing Dissertation Proposal
Tin this section you will discuss the most important elements of the thesis question. What is your research about, what are you trying to prove from your argument, what would be your conclusions and recommendation these are the things that you will have to write about here. This is just a summary, a brief description, of the real literature review. This will tell the committee your approach to the topic.
People still invoke Milton Friedman like some guru to be respected? They guy's theories were the cause of the worst economic fiascos in the history of fiascos (in general, not just economic ones).

Consider this "very salient point": "if you limit the size of the government, you - by nature - limit the power a corporation can obtain. If the government has limited powers, so it goes that a corporation can gain limited powers - it should be impossible for a corporation to gain more power than a government".

This point is BS. There are places where corporations (or even one corporation) have more power than the government everywhere around the world, especially in Africa and Asia. There are entire countries where the government is just paid lackeys and a front for some mega-corporation. There is even a term for those, they are called "banana republics".

The limiting of the argument to "one corporation" is especially BS, since even if a single corporation cannot get "bigger than the government" in a place like the US, the "corporate interests" can and do get bigger than the government.

Despite fighting in the market (and that, only if they are serving the same market, which, say, Google, Exxon and GE do not), corporations also agree on a lot of things. For example media companies agree on SOPA and PIPA and a thousand other things (drm everywhere, destroy cinematographers unions, etc). And all corporate interest's also converge on a lot of things, like tax deductions, being able to fire any employee at will, lower minimum wages, unpaid overtime, etc.

Consider a country where there is no public health coverage. What will happen will not be "competing health services for the benefit of the customer" but an emergence of a health industry cartel and the total dependence of the people in it. Things that need big scale and resources, like building, buying equipment, and running a hospital or a bank or an insurance company, have been seen time and again to build cartels with "competitors" and kill competition to maximize profits.

(See also: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27512/ , but one can also see it from experience, if one follows the political/social history of more than one country --something easy to do in Europe).

People talking about the limiting of the power of government always have in mind the equation "government = some politicians who abuse their power", and never "government = the only power body that is elected and somewhat controlled by the general public".
Thanks, I've got that bookmarked and will give it a read when I get some time.

I apologize if I have mis-represented the arguments for/against REST it's just my experience that a lot of debate around REST seems to be people discussing which resource something should belong to or whether something should be POST or PUT.

These sorts of conversations don't really make your software better (I often feel the same way about OO inheritance).
Stallmans reminds me of Ted Kaczynski unabomber. (no offence) similair world view, he doesn't care of inovation because probably thinks that it leads to more controlled society. both are Neo-Luddites. only Kaczynski was more radical in his actions. If you want more of the same I suggest you read unabomber manifesto http://editions-hache.com/essais/pdf/kaczynski2.pdf

> If your wife cant make a living by making films, because people rather copy than pay for copies, she should change her job, because people obviously dont want to pay her for what shes doing.

Maybe people aren't aware of the consequences of their actions and have a notion that all filmmakers are swimming in money anyways. If they knew the truth, maybe they would buy rather than copy (see, I said copy).

> The only reason why your above sentence sounds the way it sounds is because saying so makes your wife (and Hollywood) money.

You are saying this as if there was something wrong with that.
“The Anonymous protests for the most part work by having a lot of people send a lot of commands to a website, that it can’t handle so many requests. This is equivalent of a crowd of people going to the door of a building and having a protest on the street. It’s basically legitimate."

No it's not. This is just a few persons coming in buses and stopping the entry. If you want to equal it to protest then all the requests have to come from real people, not some bots.

I'm also not agreeing with this:
"I won’t use the non-free software at all! I dedicate my effort to getting away from it! So if they stop making it – that would be great!"

This is ridiculous. I understand that the current IP legislation is a load of crap but trying to get ALL software to be free is absurd. How are developers going to live? How about groceries? Can I pay for that? Or that should be free as well?

This is a great project. Just scrolling through the list is refreshing and delightful.

And suddenly you get cought off guard by things you didn't know it even existed. Like guerilla gardening.
While doing a social software startup that goes into the direction of a marketplace i noticed one thing:

Social Startups are the hardest to do because they usually rely on the critical mass of interaction and network density within the community. Basicially you are relying on other people to do your job of creating content.

The only thing that is harder is doing an marketplace, because in a market place you not only need network density you also rely on them selling the content.

They usually have a high upside if they work. The problem is to get them to work. And for some reason they are highly attractive to first time founders - like me back then.
Natural stones-To give your house a vibrant look
Floors and walls are an indispensable part of any house and when it comes to go for the right kind of flooring and wall texture people generally opt for marbles and tiles. But besides marbles and tiles there are natural stones that can decorate your house beautifully.
I think an easy answer to the "shopping sucks" problem is to sell them cheaply. If I can buy one episode of, say, House of Lies for $1, I'll give it a try and if it sucks, it didn't cost enough for me to care. This is more or less what AllofMP3 did, and it was great - the music was cheap enough that I'd happily take the risk of some of it being crap. It's similar to Apple's App Store as well, for that matter.
That reminds me of a web app where you check in your work of the day, and the app tells you by week how well you did. Makes you build yourself objectives and stick to them. Not totally what you're asking for, but in the meantime maybe it would be enough ?
I tried to find it but can't seem to use the right keywords, sorry.

they do it because of the patient who were not allowed to eat several hours before

The reason why surgery is scheduled so early in the morning is
because you will need to have an empty stomach for about 6-8 hours
before your procedure. This ensures that your stomach is empty of
any contents for general anesthesia. This way, if you get nauseated
after surgery, you can try to throw up, but nothing will come out.
With no stomach contents, you will not accidentally swallow stuff into
your windpipe, or lungs.

I am not "denigrating success". I simply don't agree they are (or ever going to be) successful as a businesses.

I agree, paradigm shift was not the best phrase to explain my point.
I'd like to point out that these days it's perfectly fine to have a GmbH as your company structure for international investments.
I agree that you can not always compare a DDOS to people blocking a street. I think there's 2 reasons for this.

1) If you are busy protesting by blocking a street this causes you inconvenience as you can only physically be in one place at once. Whereas leaving your computer on to DOS while you go out to a bar isn't exactly a hardship.

2) Many of the DDOSers would not even be remotely aware of what they are doing , see the JS worm that they used recently.

This is ridiculous. I understand that the current IP legislation is a load of crap but trying to get ALL software to be free is absurd. How are developers going to live? How about groceries? Can I pay for that? Or that should be free as well?

You've just opened up a huge topic there, has been discussed on HN lots of times and while I have seen good arguments for copyright-less software in many areas (OS kernels , web frameworks etc) there are others where I don't think anyone has thought of another viable business model (at least not one that isn't even more freedom restricting in some way).

Some would argue that these areas should just disappear or be done only by hobbyists but I think I would miss professionally produced video games for example, indie or AAA.

To clarify though, I doubt that Stallman would support Anonymous or people who want to pirate software.
To him any software that is not libre is irrelevant and should be rejected regardless of monetary cost or who distributes it.

This written by the same person who did the infamous piece on "dull companies" recently? Why is she still allowed to write when, again, the ignorance (arrogance?) prevails?
Ok, so it's the chicken-egg problem combined with too much schlepp. What do you think of marketplaces where, initially, the founders create all the content for sale?
Not the case for everyone. I'm quite poorly paid (almost NMW).
The point is to affect their quarter balance.

Consuming their products either way, is just the same. The money ends up in their hands.

But for a boycott to be effective, you need to create awareness to generate real-world actions. Otherwise, only the tech-savvy ones will do something, and the boycott won't reach the scale needed.

Anyway, I don't believe that a boycott is a good alternative. That would hurt mostly to the weakest links of the chain; employees who work for little money, and the big companies won't hesitate to fire, if they feel the need to keep their numbers fine, just to don't make their shareholders angry.

Let's remember that we are in the middle of a nice tech-bubble here, most of us making some good money, but the rest of the economy is in really bad shape. I don't think this is a good time to push them to swell the ranks of the unemployed.

I'm having sort of a dilemma here... I have to meditate it a bit longer.
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 it credit. After all, it IS possible to DDOS a site without malicious intent, just ask any celebrity on twitter who tweeted about a site he or she liked. And who is to say that some protests today don't consist of people who have been either paid (western countries) or forced (eastern countries) to attend them?
