Samsung Sponsors the Development of Enlightenment

An anonymous reader writes "The Enlightenment window manager project has shared on its website that it now has the backing of a major (top-five) electronics manufacturer that will be actively sponsoring the project and using Enlightenment on its devices. No manufacturer was named, but Phoronix has dug deeper and found out that Samsung is sponsoring Enlightenment. Phoronix provides independent confirmation along with citing a new Enlightenment program that Samsung sponsored and then released under the LGPL-3. They also have videos of some of the new work to this window manager that Samsung funded."

Gitmo never should have existed in the first place.

By all rights their due process and right to a fair trial has been severely compromised. That is: irreparable harm, prejudicial, and every other legal term you can come up with. It's time to bite the bullet and let them go. Any US citizen in their shoes would have had their ass habeas corpus'ed out of there a long time ago.

Yes, even though some of them might really be terrorists that is no excuse to run roughshod over their rights. Though I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the supremes if it ever went to SCOTUS.

The government fucked up and it's time to let them out. If they're really security risks then put some damned surveillance on them. It's not like we're short of manpower.

If the government wants to charge these assholes and get them locked up/executed it needs to do it by the book. ANY compromise...yes, even in the name of national security...is a violation of our constitutional principles.

Since nobody ever bothered to try them, double jeopardy sure as hell isn't going to stop the feds from doing their job, getting their evidence, and THEN pinching them.

Of course, if the feds don't want to admit to that, they could at least save some face and consider them POWs...and follow geneva conventions.

Where exactly did the feds capture the gitmo prisoners at anyway?

Gitmo exists because the US needs a place to interrogate or isolate enemy warriors who otherwise should be shot. This is not a question of "security risks"; these aren't people with secrets that we can't afford to have leak. These are captured unconventional soldiers who will return to making war against the US if released, as some of those already released have already done.

The US is fighting against people who do not even pretend to follow the Geneva conventions. We are crippling ourselves for no possible gain if we follow the rules when the enemy doesn't.
