MS.. we dont hate you because you were a douchebag in the 90's. We hate you because youre still a douchebag. Stop being a douchbag and maybe we wont hate you.
Signed, everyone on the planet except your employees and shills.
Marketplace monopoly is the problem. When the majority of access is controlled by a handful of ISP's there is no option to simply "Go somewhere else". It's a moot point tho, as the money flows, so shall the votes.
Not sure what you mean by closer fit.. you could launch a joomla with only the calendar, Jevents is a decent mature app and joomla 3 is small screen capable. You also get the update infrastructure to manage your security and updates. Joomla gets a hard rap around here, but its not that bad when you work with it for a while. I could launch this from start to dns flop over in around 3 hours.
It takes abnormal to be different. It takes different to make changes. From DNA that didnt quite come out right to someone who has an unstoppable obsession, these are the type things that open new doors. Genius is not a normal person working hard, genius is something different. Of course these people are social misfits, and easily abused, they are not on the same plane, they are by nature, different. And most likely for every person we hear about as genius there are multitudes who are idiots as well as many many who are squashed by the machine. A normal person sees a box and puts things in it, a genius sees a box and fills it with their obsession.
The question is never "Will they?". The question is always, "Can they?" And more to the point.. "Can they and still get away with it profitably?" So when you are puzzling over some abhorrent possibility, run it through that filter and you will invariably find your answer.
I quit working for "The Man" 5 years ago and now work for myself. I find that I work twice the hours, at least, but I also take regular learning tangents and am free to follow them wherever I wish, and often times they add to my general knowledge and allow me to offer different, new services and such. I find that I do a lot of "me" learning in-between projects and it not only helps me grow but also allows me to clear my head for the next project.
I think it was Stalin who erased people from existence. paintings, books, tax roles, every mention in every place. Very thorough, and very very paranoid.
So apart from the blatant Constitutional shredding, which in and of itself should be plenty to call BS on the whole thing, how about the simple ROI of the whole damn thing? How much money, resources and man-hours have we shit away for practically no public good or protection? I would guess in the billions and growing. This whole ordeal is nothing but a power grab for control. It has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with pure unadulterated power.
While I do appreciate the ongoing releases of how we are tracked, mostly for the less technical crowd to come up to speed, I think it's time to realize that if you are connected to any network with any device, regardless of what "security" measures you take, you will be tracked.
While the student debt machine pumps out a great amount of money, the icing is in Grants, and Universities who can and do research work with associated patents get crazy grant money for important things..you know..like golden bulls and stuff..
Sure send your notification emails and cya.. once that's done it's more a game of wait for the overtime, because when, and I mean when, it goes down it will be like Oprah came by with.. And overtime for you, and for you, and for you.. overtime for everyone until we fix this!!
Ive been doing the 4 tiered password thing for over 10 years now. There is NOTHING like hitting an old website you havent been to in years and logging in first try.
I am a little on the strange side. I dont expect anyone to like or appreciate this, but I try and stay below poverty for income if I can for a few reasons. The overall business plan is to build sites and such for low down and small monthlys, get enough of that and hosting to make a residual income and then just pick up checks and do whatever jobs roll along. Almost at the $1k residual mark, and with new and fixit jobs wandering in as well as my wife has an online shop it is slowly growing and working. Not that there isnt squeeky tight times, but for 5 years now we have kept the lights on and food on the plate and it is getting easier.
Having owned and run my own little web biz for 5 years now, I have run estimates on my real hourly income.. and its a little depressing. It usually does end up below minimum wage, but then a big job (feast cycle) hits and we start over. On the other hand..I have managed to pay bills for 5 years now in my PJ's..so I go tthat goin for me...
Mint has 2 different bases, one is Ubuntu and one is Debian and offers them both in separate distros with an array of window managers and desktop environments. I jumped on board with the Ubuntu base a few months ago, have completely replaced Windows, and as a total Linux noob, the process has been relatively painless.

The right-left argument is like leaving a note with "Look on the other side" written on both sides to keep the idiots busy while being gang-raped.
It is probably orders of magnitude easier to intercept and store digital.

Jurors and judges don't get to invalidate patent claims because of some flaky idea of who is trolling who.
Actually jurors can and more should..

Just when I think.. wow.. you couldnt screw this up any worse... they step up and prove me wrong.
I am wondering why my correct and hopefully imformative post gets modded down... Sometimes I just dont get this place..
