Yeah, and those who hid Jews under the Nazis were criminals we shouldn't have any respect for, either.
No wait, fuck that. Fuck that and everyone who supports it. Law, Shmaw. If that is the tradition, then such a tradition is at odds with humanity, and being human. If God made those laws, let God intervene with any and all Neanderthal bullshit being purged off the Earth once and for all... but let no blind, dumb fucking mortal get in your way, EVER.
Yeah, I'm pissed off at this whole thing and what it brings to mind. And why not. Fuck mediocrity, get rid of it before it's too late. If you breed vipers you get stung.
and if nobody bought their oil, the saudis would be kicking rocks. but hey, it's all just business. use the nutjobs, prop them up, then shake your head in disgust. that's not even deniability, much less a plausible one, that's just shrugging it off. oh well, shit happens, right.
oh, you don't say. so for example trying to abolish democracy and openly advocating fascism is forbidden by those who pride themselves on freedom? what hypocrisy!!!!
but the only thing that actually applies to is holocaust denial and related things? way to squirm. if that's not what you were thinking of, name what you were thinking of -- if that was what you were thinking of, fuck you.
no. They are what people ignorant of the actual engineering say.
Bullshit. What "actual engineering" are you speaking of? Your engineering of strawmen? But all of that has already been addressed, so I'll just leave this here:
They're just blatantly taking the ideas of others, then harp on and on and on about how they made everything better, once again. Not to mention the whole fleecing people thing. What's there to not resent?
You can do the same thing in many Linux distros by just right-clicking an.iso file, or even just double-clicking it. So both you and the article are plain wrong.
Google's official mission is to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". That's a crazy-ambitious goal, but Google is serious about it, and has recognized that the sheer volume of information means that making it accessible and useful requires figuring out what people are interested in.
Then why not find new ways to tag information, instead of your the users looking for the information? Not that I claim those two exclude each other, but still.... nice try.
Google, like others, wants to be the middleman, the plate on which the information is presented. And unless it doesn't want to let 99% of the staff go, they also want to sell ads. Which is why they want to be the plate -- it's more or less all they have. Being the middleman for the information is like being the one you go to for air. There needs to be an open source peer to peer search engines or whatever, everything else is bollocks. Let people pay for the resources, and let them own them. And let Google contribute to those standards, if they're not just talking the talk. Now that'd be something.
In theory, at least, your complaint can be addressed by more personalization. I expect that at some point in the future Google will realize I know how to spell and stop trying to correct my spelling, for example.
If I never use personalized results, why does Google feed my behaviour into its algorithms? It's no use for those using them for personalized results. It's however sellable, anonymous or not.
All that "Google loves you" shit is getting creepy, too... Google should spend more money on hookers and less on brain farts.
Well, I prefer learning how the search algorithms work. After a while you simple get good at constructing successful queries. To use the example google touted: when I want to search for golf, the car, I enter "golf car", otherwise "golf sports". well, I might just do "golf" first and then refine. And I like it that way. I don't need hand holding, and I don't need to be fed stuff I already know. The basic assumption of Google now is that it's for dumb fucks. Because for you, a harness is as good as an adult, which is the general corporate/autocratic disease. I say fuck that model and the whores it's riding on.
The usefulness of such stuff is completely overshadowed by the fail of it. That google lives and dies by advertisement is not a theory, that's a fact. And to date google didn't even manage to show me a single ad that actually interested me. In like a decade! No, that's hopeless. Google should go back to making a decent search engine. Collect information about public documents and leave the rest to the people who know what they're doing. You don't know it better than them, you're just drunk.
Consider a library, and the librarian: "Hello good sir, here's some books that might interest you!!!!:D" "*glares* Fuck that! I came here knowing what I want, stop trying to hinder my progress you fucking leech, gimme a card and tell me to be quiet, that's all I want of you, you evil fucking bitch". Hmm sorry, zoned out there for a sec.
one futurama episode springs to mind... you know, the people who sniff data? my memory, it fails me. but this being slashdot it surely will ring a bell for someone ^^
What has been created by this half century of massive corporate propaganda is what's called "anti-politics". So that anything that goes wrong, you blame the government. Well okay, there's plenty to blame the government about, but the government is the one institution that people can change... the one institution that you can affect without institutional change. That's exactly why all the anger and fear has been directed at the government. The government has a defect - it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect - they're pure tyrannies. So therefore you want to keep corporations invisible, and focus all anger on the government. So if you don't like something, you know, your wages are going down, you blame the government. Not blame the guys in the Fortune 500, because you don't read the Fortune 500. You just read what they tell you in the newspapers... so you don't read about the dazzling profits and the stupendous dizz, and the wages going down and so on, all you know is that the bad government is doing something, so let's get mad at the government.
LOL??? What you search for on Google, and what other websites you visit -- or even, simply what network traffic you generate, all of it -- are not exactly the same thing.
Also, how does Google stating everything you do on their sites is tracked like forever, mean that they are "not" doing that, and how stupid and/or paid do people have to be to mod that nonsense up??
particularly because you can quit whenever you want.
Nope. "Quitting" in this case would mean getting your data back, not just stopping to give them more. So, you cannot quit. That's why you get 100 bucks for signup and 20 a month, instead of the other way around;)
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.... was to grin right in your face and make jokes about being the devil. Everybody laughed, relieved, and sold their soul without hesitation. The End.
And what when the kid fell down the well? Everything else being equal, did those lists being accurate give the Nazis more or less power?
You're employing a false dichotomy here, as well as a strawman ("I am not on any lists (as far as you know) so I am safe" -- the "as far as you know" being a WTF in and of itself, what is your point with that?)-- what for? Does one need to give up privacy to be able to fight the rise of tyranny? Nope.
First they came for the people on the list and you did nothing but vote for the tyrant since he offered you a tax cut.
Huh? How does paying attention to one thing imply paying less attention to another, everything else being equal?

see this link someone else posted.. it does explain a lot, and details his as well as other reactions in the aftermath, too:

wow. thank you for posting that. that is pure poetry.
in OpenSUSE there is "browse this iso".. though that's not exactly the same as mounting it.

The same goes for negative things. Hitler didn't care about the individuals he murdered either, so that helps. No, wait.
uhm, yeah, and, so what? of course you have to be logged in to see the information they have on the accounts you created there.

Okay, now that is kinda sweet. Google is my recent pet hate, but this alleviates that somewhat.
