Re: Open source is not piracy

Regrettably, there are people who use this open coding platform for less than honest purposes; hence the negative press. I've seen more proprietary code used for dishonest things than open source and they usually don't get any bad press. Well, in the actual press, anyway. They might on some out-of-...

Re: Respect towards atheists

A light year is the time it takes from the light of a distant star to reach our world. Huhwhat? :? No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Hence, "light year". You failed grade school science class, didn't you? So, Kane kills Able, and then Able gets married. Now, where ...

Re: Respect towards atheists

I see it all the time, unfortunately. People crying "Respect my blahblahblah!" and turning around and insulting someone else over theirs. It's annoying.
