And, er... we're cutting down the trees at the same time. That's really not a good idea. Yes, there are places that carelessly beat the shit out of the nearby flora, but there are also people who stupidly choose to live in/next to forests, which means a lot of forest fires that would occur normally (lightning/dry summer weather), releasing CO2 and scaling back the population temporarily, are stopped early by the previously-mentioned stupid people. There are also countless acres of food crops around the world, and I haven't seen anyone take an axe to a flower yet. (Perhaps those big sunflowers...) Really, trees aren't the only plants that undergo photosynthesis.
a video by Mozilla developer Mike Beltzner, demonstrating some of the new features in Mozilla Firefox 3, which is due out very soon. Weighing in at under four minutes, the video gives a concise overview of why you should be excited about Firefox 3. Due to its visual nature, the video shows Firefox's features far more clearly than the many written previews that have been published. A picture really is worth a thousand words. Is that in any way harder to understand? You don't need to make up new words for something implied by the context. In the same vein, 'screenshot' adds nothing over 'image' or 'picture', other than signifying that it's an image of a screen. (I so wouldn't have noticed.) I probably would bitch about that under the right circumstances, but I suppose I missed the window for that. Also, there are no 'podshots', 'textshots', or 'vodshots' to annoy me further.
Oh, screw this. You're all fucked. I'm just going to build an underwater city and leave all of you to choke to death on your own spit. By the way, I'm going to mock people on the Internet when I'm done. (Muahahahaha!)
Unless it's an ivory gun or something, selling ivory that was yanked off of an elephant isn't going to kill anyone. If you want to help, target the people stealing tusks and selling new ivory, rather than those with a bit too much stuff in their attics.
Only part I take issue with:
Point being, you can never "have complete control over your software". Don't know how to read? Ask a programmer. Don't trust one programmer? Ask more. Distrust your OS? Do a code audit. Suspicious of your compiler? Write your own. (You know, like people did back in the stone age.) Hell, you could go ahead and make your own hardware from scratch. It may take a few years/decades to do it right, but it can be done.
So yes, you can control your software. The only pre-existing system you have to rely on is the one that produced the raw materials for the hardware. (And if you distrust dead stars...)
So bother them and only if they pose a problem. People can worry about the slightest things getting out, not because it's illegal, sometimes not even because it's damaging to one's reputation, maybe it's just because no one has any right to know. So yes, if you suspect me of being the leader of some crime ring and have more than a hunch, then by all means, track my every word and move. Go ahead and make my house one big mic if you want. If you want to find potential criminals, then piss off and take the time to do some research to demonstrate that you actually need to know my every word.
We now all live in soviet union where corporate/government kgb punishes you for offenses of opinion. I can't help but find it humorous how you just did what you said no one can do. I guess you must have some mighty fine tinfoil.
You seem to have overlooked the fact that this is an issue nobody cares about except for a few geeks. You seem to have overlooked the fact that the ISO is largely run by 'a few' geeks.
Of course, if Americans would quit buying the stupid things, they would fix up their terms or fall to new companies that were more honest. I really can't see that working well, now that pay phones are pretty much dead. We have VoIP for escaping AT&T and the like on land, but it's not like we all have private cell towers. (Though it could work rather nicely if you're constantly surrounded by unsecured wireless routers.)

What's this 'novy' and why should I join it?
So, there's going to be a dupe for this year? Go, Slashdot! :D

Quite the interesting textcast you have there.
A video in the hands of a buzzword-happy PHB.
Web 1.0 was sorely disappointing. I'm waiting for at least Web 3.1 for workgroups before I'm willing to take another look at it.

'Is' is relative. :p
Now die, you sputtering son of a whore. :D
So what better birthday present than a new friend (that will later kill and supplant it)?

Sorry, but the correct term is 'pwnted'...n00b.
...ButtFish. I shall use this. Thank you for your generous gift to the Free Software community.
I'm afraid it's been complete for a long time, then.
Don't worry. Google is included with Emacs.

In the US it is.
