Don't give up, bro. You shalt find your true freedom, yes you will.
Uh oh Slashdot, They're after you next!!
Unfortuantely, Google and their top level people are not as nice as they look. Already the Google board and executives have a very Microsoft/Oracle mind set. My father's on the board. They are just gearing up to put people over the table, once they get their base more firmly solidified.

It's very sad to see this happening. No longer will google be the nice heaven for research and innovation, but now are looking to exploit all that has been developed.
Don't be shocked when you see this develop publically. You've been warned..
And of course, this is why I post AC.
Never dealt with VC's, have you. They're looking for lots of money, and right now. Sure, sometimes they can stretch it out by funding something now that they expect other VC's will want to jump on in a year or so, cashing out their investment that way, but VC's are way more short sighted than normal investors, who hardly ever look past the current quarter's profits.
Why do you think things like stem cell research aren't funded? While Kerry thinks that Christopher Reeves is going to stand up and walk tomorrow, VC's are staying away from it in droves. If they can't cash out in a year, their money is going somewhere else.
I've been banned multiple times as well. It's pointless. Why not let the moderation system work the way it was intended: let everyone have their say and let readers decide what they want to see? Besides, banning by IP can never work anway.
