Starting with oracle hopefully. (Un)fortunately (and IANAL) I don't think copyrights are enforceable if you don't enforce them everytime you know of a violation.

>Still both the Soviet Union and China have turned into far more humane societies during socialism than they were at any earlier times What do you mean be this? Surely modern != hu…

I suspect Kazakhstan doenst have the resources to mount attacks against tor unless they can pay some western company to do it for them. Blocking it is a somewhat different matter.

I don't think this is entirely correct, I think there might be some disagreement in Islam as to whether interest is actually forbidden

Most of the (non-systems programming, which use C) classes offered at my university are in Java but a few of them are taught in O'Caml (The programming language and compiler ones).…

Um...what? I had said that it isn't obscene for the federal government to make 50 billion dollars a year off a much larger amount of very risky loans that it bears almost all the r…

Just some context: Student loans outstanding will exceed $1 trillion this year http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/perfi/college/story/201... The amount universities are charging …

One forum user pointed out this link: http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/priority-projects/priority-proj... I would be thrilled if this project gets somewhere, even to gnash-like quality…
