Why I like programs that use the .gpl palettes. It's very easy to create those palettes (although it can be tedious if we are talking about large palettes without some type of automation). There was actually conversion from palettes of other programs to the .gpl format, I think there was in...

Ahhh yes. The infamous corporate CoC. This has for sure been on the rise, even in the OSS space (big or small, it seems that most of them have it, gotten the point, I avoid projects that I can that have them). Corporations seem to love them (don't know if it's compulsory or not, but they do...

There was a McDonald's shooting over a little trifling matter as well just yesterday. There is going to be a massive freeloader problem (which isn't good for any society). If people are bad about managing things (food, money, whatever), typically they will always be bad about managing things...

Most preppers that I know, won't help someone because they had poor planning skills. One thing that coming from a farming family taught one is to set aside, and don't just use up all that "you" have in a short amount of time (this isn't even doomsday prepping, just the way that things are...

College educated aggie, what do you expect.

Probably thought that since Adobe license out some of their 3rd party "technologies" (although I guess the Dolby fiasco taught them nothing) and given that they have a far greater share of this particular market and they make good use of SaaS, probably thought it would be a good pay day...

Well you know what Hank Jr always said about "A Country Boy".

I would argue that it's worse. If one looks hard, see that a lot of the research is within things that are found in nature. The problem is, can't patent nature, so it has to be changed in order for it to be patented. That change, in my mind, is what gets people (the list that the commercial...

I don't quite have that up beat "money quote" belief in that. The way tech is going, it's more abstraction, more scrapping and requiring less from the person to get further along. While that may do wonders for "efficiency", not so much in really stretching those creative muscles. Ironically...

Look at a lot of the entertainment industry as well. I think people would be surprised just how many truly unique companies are truly out there (unique as in not having some type of connection to one another outside of being in the same industry). I have quite a few issues with that being a...

Economics isn't known as the "dismal science" for nothing. Finally being a 6th generation aggie and having a degree in it will actually come in handy.

And big companies have gotten extensions on those expiration dates as well. Here is the thing, in this situation, I can't imagine this transaction being done for free. Rather it's a cash or other barter form of transaction (anything over a certain $ amount is considered as like it being a...

That may be, but has little baring here if it doesn't apply here. We do have editorial rights to use something, but in my non legal mind, that wouldn't translate to this situation). Some countries recognize abandonware as a legal term and not just a technological one (I wish this concept would...

My entire workflow is open source. I did use one program that was commercial, and not to knock it, I didn't need the entire feature set, so I wrote my own GUI wrapper around FFMPEG (which the commercial program used under the hood as well, but they had a ton more features, I just didn't need...

I don't think Windows allows (or maybe that's going to be the case with an update with 11 or "12" when it comes out) for editing the host file anymore (or it's going to be in the feature) or even do registry edits. I really wouldn't like that with the hosts file, that could act as a poor man's...

Oh absolutely. And they still get extensions on protections that they shouldn't get. Although, to be honest, it appears different for me, if there is an IP still within a smaller company or family versus a faceless corporation. Not really a valid reason, just something seems different to me...

Good ideas are ruined by poor applications. I agree that the applications of said law are poor in some instances, but until some peon gets it into case law, not much one can do. The only hope that some would have is with public outcry and that has happened a time or two, but that's really...

That translates into money. Some of these people's marks make no sense to their industry, yet they have value due to all the money that has been pumped into them over the years and what they have done with said product. Can flower it up all you want, but it's about protecting assets and assets...

If one keeps their apps small, very focus and stay within the lanes of the opinionated runtime, can do some really good stuff with it. Not for me, I prefer being able to only be limited by my imagination (even if that runs the risk of "shooting my foot off" as they say). Although I have...
