This looks like a patent troll. The functionality they have patented is quite basic for a modern photo program.

I agree. I think they used the term 'open source' in reference to the freedoms that open source licenses often afford. I'm sure RMS doesn't like the inclusion of this sentence. > The rules of open source were first

> If you expect income, you're not really looking to build a free product, are you? You hit it right on the nose. I'd rather pay not to have strings attached than get something free with hidden other costs.

Same here. I'll gladly downgrade some specs if it means I can run all free software on my phone. Trying to get google off of an unlocked android phone is still an uphill battle. Root access out of the box means I can install the sof

Another class of instruments that has evolved in all of the ways you named is the synthesizer. Certainly vocal performance is a very old tradition but to write off synth vocals as superficial is in my opinion throwing the baby out with the

Internet radio may be able to solve your problem. Music podcasts, and internet radio sites/apps mean geographic location is no longer the limiting factor for what you can listen to. There are big names like iHeartRadio and SlackerRadi

That's a great example. The concept seems obvious, but often times free software activists forget or are unaware of lessons like this. Because free software activists are willing to make sacrifices to preserve their freedoms, they som

I've seen two arguments on why to trust Wikileaks. Wikileaks itself likes to say nothing they have published has been disputed as being incorrect. Since 2006 they have never published a retraction/correction and Wikileaks claims

This was my position as well. I haven't pre-ordered the phone but the closer it gets to April the more I'm excited to have a freedom respecting phone. Even if the reviews are bad I'll probably still buy one to hack against

I'm not sure about the identification of users and universal ID issue, but I can speak to the installation pieces. The license the project uses (AGPLv3) requires any server running a modified version of the software must include the so

This guy seems like he is genuinely trying to discover what occurred. But where is the evidence that Russia was responsible for the DNC hacks? Metadata analysis seems to indicate someone inside of the DNC was responsible for the leaks. h

I agree with what the author is saying, but Clojure and Clojurescript are the unpopular languages I find valuable.
