"coherent graviton pulse" at least sounds like a gravitational wave laser gun, which would be pretty cool.

He can't quite get that arm up real good, can he.

That clause was targeted at, and is still targeted at, foreign diplomats who have diplomatic immunity. If you can't be compelled to to pay your parking tickets because you put the little flag on your car, then your babies also don't get to be Americans. Easy.

If your typical non-little-flag-on-car undocumented immigrants are really "not subject to the jurisdiction," then how can you arrest them for all of the horrible crimes they are allegedly committing?

Ohio is midwest. It's definitely not "east." Nebraska and the like are great plains.

Rule 1 on .ml is "no racism." In this post, it appears to be "racist" against Chinese. At least from some kind of a point of view.

This, coming from someone who just wants everyone to check their own filesystems.

Also, on Gentoo Linux, there will be an ebuild that integrates all of the cmake options into the rest of the packaging system and manage the dependencies

Can we get a Red Dawn reboot set in this timeline, please?

Traditionally, the PG-13 rating allows for one f-bomb. I don't remember if these films were PG-13 or not.

The commit hash right before the license change will be unambiguously licensed under Apache. Anyone can fork from there.

Were contributors' rights violated? It may depend on whether contributors assigned copyright to whomever is in charge now or not. If there are a bunch of copyright assertions in the source files from diverse individuals, then likely not. If the copyright assertions are uniform, then assignments may have happened, but only if the individual contributors signed some agreement to that effect.

Apache is generally considered permissive, so even without assignments, it might be possible for these new people to offer a derivative work under more restrictive terms. The original contributions of the various contributors are still available under Apache 2.0, but the easiest way to get those is to check out an earlier commit hash.

Edit: so I actually read the ticket. It sounds like the villains pulled some git trickery to obfuscate the history. But that doesn't change the legal status. If this version x software was offered by its copyright holders under Apache terms in the past, then you can still use and redistribute version x under Apache terms now.

The clearest cause of action for aggrieved contributors seems to be clause 4, where the villains need to provide a copy of the Apache text to redistribute a derivative work. And not delete it like apparently happened.

Now that's an incentive to optimize your darn JavaScript.

I preferred the Facebook group "If 2,147,483,648 people join this group, then an integer overflow may occur" back in the day.
