Egypt, Chinese, Phoenicians, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Ancient Israelites, Sumerians, Mayan, Incan and a host of others predated the Romans and documented the process only to be overtaken by the next civilization. The Romans were aggregators of ideas and took the tools from their conquered peoples using what worked and abandoning what didn't. It is highly doubtful as to the claim.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but the facts on the ground are that the constitution is broken all the time without anyone being punished enough to stop them from doing it again. Unless you outline penalties or protections such as qualified immunity for defending the constitution it becomes meaningless.

Some parts of government should be immutable, and putting safeguards to ensure constants are constant makes a lot of sense to me.

Instead of just getting these shutdown how about an opposing act which puts penalties for lobbyists and politicians who back this kind of thing?

I don't want to keep fighting zombie bills like these, because we will eventually miss one.

Adobe is now blocked from the networks I control. A page pops up with links to Inkscape, Gimp and other open source alternatives.

It would be poetic justic if he did, and it merely inconvenienced him, rather than having him brutalized. I walk out if I am not seen within 20 minutes of my appointment and drop the doctor if it happens twice. Doctors who don't respect your time aren't qualified to treat you.

Swapping the blue circle for black would give them the alignment they seek. Filling the full circle so there is no gap between would be a nice step as well.

Embrace, join the open source community, and buy github. Extend, add exclusive features private repositories which do not notify copywrite holders when packages use copyleft software which mandates publishing source.

Extend, add repositories which profit from copyleft software which mandates publishing source, but github enables the thieves to hide and exploit the original developers work.

Extinguish, community now works with the thieves and contributes to parasitic repos instead of open source repositories.

Private repositories and paywall repositories are absolutely not open source.

Github must have independent auditors review private repositories and paywall repositories to prevent theft of opensource or be treated as part of the theft itself.

"sponsor-only repositories, that is, private repositories that only sponsors will get access to" is this open source? Will this help open source? I don't believe so. This fragments the open source community, and creates a paywall for innovation. Further it restricts the ability to enforce open source licensing. Where is the protection for code behind a paywall and which uses copyleft source.

"Embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE) has always been the plan.

He paid for a ticket, he was seated. Airline is in the wrong overbooking. Everything that happened after that is on them.

Refusing to deboard and getting injured isn't a smart idea in the real world.

Imagine this was any other industry. You can't rent your apartment complex to more people than can fit and have the police shoot their dog and flash bang their kids when they refuse to sleep under a bridge that night because occupancy rates are higher than you thought and you needed to evict them.

He was on Kids in the Hall, Newsradio, and had his ex wife demand more money than he could make.
