lemming Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings The GPL is indeed somewhat viral' date=' but I feel compelled to point out that it wouldn't work any other way. Without the "viral" clause, you could take GPL code, change a variable name, and privatize it. Which is precisely what the authors of the GPL wanted to prevent.[/quote'] Having worked for a company that wanted to steal bits of GPL'd code for their own use, the GPL is fine. Certainly better than some of the software patents that stemmed from a method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings Women with freckles. I've never understood it, but apparently they're taught from birth that freckles make them ugly. I was so pissed off at an Ad in Professional Photographer. The ad was to show their SW would "fix" a portrait of someone. Took a pretty girl and erased all her freckles. Reminds me, I need to send an email saying that their ad assured me I will not be buying Portrait Professional. (not that I was thinking of buying it anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not wish my childhood on anyone. Just as bad as the abuse are the Adults who thought they were so clever and original and funny when they asked "Where'd you get all them freckles?"

Bazza Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings Wow' date=' it only went 10 episodes?[/quote'] Yes. Apparently of low ratings, NBC reduced the number of episodes, and the last was released online. I get the feeling that there were more episodes planned & for it to have a better ending. And Firefly had 11 released episodes, with 3 unaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH' date=' his daughter may not have been a statue.[/quote'] In the stories I remember, his daughter sort of surprised him and came bounding up to him and gave him a hug (as little girls are prone to do), in spite of his warnings to her to stay away. Ergo, even if he did have gloves, it wouldn't have helped against a full-body-hug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
