  BBC Porn

  A "Porn License"? Does that mean the BBC will start making porn? That's the point of the TV license in the UK. Debbie Does the Doctor? I could see it.

  Stallman

  I was at a Richard Stallman (of GNU and FSF fame) talk and someone asked him about possible legal issues with 3D printing technology. He completely blew off the question as not being relevant any time soon. I was disappointed to see his lack of vision into the very near future.

  I use a tachyons modem. I get all my packages before I order them.

  I am sure that most here never had our back, so why should we have any of your backs?

  
  
  That is currently my favorite reason that people give for not caring about free speech. I hear it a lot. It's "sour grapes" for contrarians.

  Re: Movies

  
  So does this mean if anyone ever does invent an instantaneous transportation device, they can't patent it because it was in Star Trek first?

• On the post: Google Spends $12.5 Billion To Buy Motorola Mobility… And Its Patents

  all in

  It could be viewed as Google showing its hardware vendors that it has some skin in the game. I'm sure Google/Motorola will be a prime target for patent attacks. Thus Google will be in the trenches fighting patent attacks shoulder-to-shoulder with its vendors.

  what about other JVM languages?

  Where does this leave Scala or Clojure and other languages that target the JVM? Are they "safe" to use?

  Spanish

  You don't even have to go as far as Ethiopia to get an upside down exclamation point. Spanish uses one.
