Zillion dollar business idea, yours for the taking: "The Practical Woman", make attractive clothes for women with usable pockets. That's it. That's the whole idea. When you're a billionaire, maybe you'll remember where you got the idea.
I posit (and by no means for the first time) that faith -- the idea that attempting to deliberately believe something to a degree of certainty that exceeds what is warranted by the available evidence -- is *not a virtue to be encouraged*, but a *vice to be discouraged*.

When you run a GPL'ed project, sometimes people come along and they want to subvert the GPL and link to proprietary code, and they get all pissed off when you decline to allow them to use your code in a such a way, even though it's not in your power to allow it even if you wanted to, due to the multitude of contributors (read: copyright holders) to the code base. It's hard for me to feel empathy for people that are pissed off at me because they can't figure out a way to make a buck off my work.
