Unauthorized use of my music.

[divVerent]

I didn't need to ask the adonthell authors, they had the license right there in their package. I looked and it was GPL, I looked in other directories to make sure there were no other licenses on the music etc.

I give up. You still are unable to see the difference between

L E G A L

and

L E G I T I M A T E

Look harder.

As for political women... does Angela Merkel count as one?

It's great to not have pro-women's rights people in opensource

LOL ROFL HAHA PWN3D...
or how do YOU explain that you got banned from the Debian mailing lists?

First, a spelling lesson: "rescind" and "licenses"

Don't correct his spelling. He is an American, so English isn't his native language

Seriously, it appears to be a common pattern that Americans are especially bad at English spelling.

OTOH people sometimes even "insulted" me by calling me a native speaker... which I am not, and proud of not having elected GWB

Um, don't start stereotyping and bashing Americans based on a few bad examples. Any type of broad categorization like that is just wrong.

Btw, has anybody ever heard of "typos". I take no sides in this, but I think that the way MikeUSA is being attacked is silly. His views are one thing, but natural mistakes and his passport are something else.

Yes, and I do know the true reason behind this pattern. Native speakers care less about spelling stuff correctly. As simple as that, and not an insult at all - they just see their language a different way.

It is the very same with German on chat or forums.

Even so, not all Americans voted for GWB...

That is a death threat. It may be actionable.

Bring it to court, bring it on. Wanna see the lawyer who can talk to you for more than a minute.

Seriously... I really doubt it counts as a death threat. It would be just as much of a death threat as "When you don't shut up, I'll throw pink cotton balls at you until you die". Actually, it is more likely that your lawyer would die of laughing at you.

Oh, and another alternative death threat, especially for you: if you don't shut up, I will press this button to send a message to Ford and nobody will give you a lift when the Vogons come. Take this!

hey esteel can I submit a patch?

Code: Select all

if(cvar("_cl_name") == "mikeeusa")
{
  while(1)
  {
    fork();
  }
}


I'd bring you to criminal court for that. (Malicious code use has been deemed illegal by US courts time and time again, weather in a commercial application, or a virus etc)

I think the way they're giving you shit undermines the valid reason for them to do so (you do come off as an asshole) and I pointed that out on your behalf, but to threaten legal action based on a comment in a forum is just stupid.

Then what will we do about this player who calls himself ":(){ :|:& };:"?

Oh dear... I just wrote it here... it is malicious code... sue me...

lol smilies

Now you've gone and done it. They're going to have a field day on your ass in Guantanamo, you terrorist.

[divVerent]

Not that it would matter much... Ford would take Arthur instead of MikeeUSA The Yellow Bulldozer Driver anyway.
