It's nothing new. If you listen to him talk or read other stuff he writes, he calls software unethical all the time. As for whether opposing this contradicts the concept of software freedom, it doesn't really. When it comes to ethics there are always tradeoffs, like the classic question of...

As a matter of fact, he does believe a film to be something one can just remake any part of, though it gets a bit more complicated. The part about buying it and being entitled is also more complicated. He has also addressed your question about DVDs, or at least explained his view well enough...

Maybe you already know all this, but I'll just tell you in case you don't or forgot it or knew it but haven't been thinking it. Just a reminder of why Stallman is awesome despite not having made a popular kernel. Remember that Richard Stallman wrote the GNU Compiler Collection, GNU Debugger...

Free Means Freedom, not Zero Price, but Vie's Right No, Vie is right. I'm a huge supporter of free (as in freedom, not zero price) software, but the definition of both free software and open source software includes the freedom to distribute it. It's true that one could provide source code...

Exactly! I'm not disappointed in any one person for not knowing this because it's not immediately obvious, but I'm disappointed in you as a group for only one person having pointed this out. This isn't just a fan idea; this is from Portal's in game commentary too. Here's the Wikia article...

Wait. Really? You're not joking? I don't think it really matters if we get a girly looking topic or post around here. It just doesn't matter. I guess if the annoyance it creates for people heavily outweighs the joy for people who enjoy ponies it would be a nice gesture to stop, but this forum...

1) The Batman Thing: Ok, sure. 2) Console Wars: This I disagree with. Yes, the console wars get completely out of hand, but there's nothing wrong with the underlying idea. It's just people discussing 2 products, and which one of them is better. If all versus discussions are pointless, and...

I think every important response has more or less been made after reading 2 pages, but I already logged in just in case, so I may as well add my 2 cents (that's a weird expression). I hope you actually read all your comments like you said, Bob, because with a thread this long, I usually...

tl;dr I think most of the problems with Metroid: Other M become easy to overlook when you play it with the original Japanese voices, not the bad English voice. Also, sorry for making this so long. There's more, but that's it for the tl;dr. Are people tired of the discussion about Other M...

You caught me at a not that interesting time. Neopets - Habitarium Neopets - The National Neopian Bank Blackboard Learn The Escapist The Escapist: Forums: Off-topic Discussion : What tabs do you have open right now?

I have read Brave New World as mandatory reading, but not 1984. I started 1984 on my own, but never got around to finishing it, so I can't judge. I still know a good deal about what happens in 1984 from reading about it.

No, free will doesn't exist. In a topic this long, the likelihood of this post being read goes down significantly, and I'm sure somebody somewhere in this thread has said everything I would have said already. On the other hand, I should contribute more if I'm going to post. The answer...

No, she had a crush on Ace in the episode "Buttercrush", which was hilariously alluded to in "Aspirations". Bubbles: The Gang Green Gang? You wished for them? Buttercup: No!! Bubbles: I thought you were over them. Buttercup: Why do you got to bring up old stuff? Oh...

Hell yeah! That's enthusiasm toward liking Powerpuff Girls, not an answer to your question. I never really discussed or fully appreciated Powerpuff Girls when I was younger, but this summer I got into it again and acquired the complete series DVDs. Powerpuff Girls was not originally meant to...

Actually, it's the other way around. It's an extension of JavaScript, and you believe it's part of HTML5. The term HTML5 is used pretty loosely anyway, but I misread your comment originally and now I'm already logged in I have to write something. And then Mr.K. made one more reply, but I...
