That's an answer that someone who hasn't considered the implications of time reversing would give.
If time reversed every day at noon back to the beginning, and then repeated to exactly one day after it's last loop back, then you wouldn't know, neither would any of us. You are looking at it from the inside.
Sigh, no.
SOCIALISM was the stepping stone between Capitalism and Communism.
Neither Communism or Anarchism (one is an economic model, the other is a political model so it's apples to oranges anyways) says that every one is equal.
Communism says that all property should be held in common, and Anarchism says that laws should be abolished.
Neither one is the same as Totalitarianism, Fascism, or Dictatoriship(ism?) (which are all political models).
Socialism is where a political party or a branch of the government (which is why it is often confused with a political model, when it is actually a economic one) holds the means of production and allocates property.
Yes, most Open Source is very much like Communism, given that the code belongs to everyone who wants it and they are free to do with it as they will. This is a good thing, since software doesn't suffer from many of the pitfalls of Communism, like the tragedy of the commons, or of socialism, like tending to lead to those in charge of allocating resources taking over.
Teaching certification coursework is full of lame little "standards" like understanding copyright law and being able to teach it to students so that they understand that downloading the newest NiN CD is technically stealing. Aside from the 'sharing' vs 'stealing' argument, you picked a particularly bad example, seeing as NiN released their newest CD online for free.
You should have left off the "and open source." if that is what you meant.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against you for using proprietary stuff, I run XP in a VM on my Ubuntu box. But you shouldn't misrepresent yourself.
You know that VMWare is proprietary, right? Running ubuntu with wine in VMWare because using XP in VMWare wouldn't be FOSS is kinda self-contradicting.
Well, this is kinda what everyone thought Google was doing, so it's more of a "Google admits to what had been expected." Than a "Big announcement from Google: they do no evil."
No, if it was how Google intended it to be used, then that is how Google would have used it that way. Permission or not, it's still being hacked. The difference is that Google wants it to be hacked.

If the parent was actually another sockpuppet of twitter. What if all the people who complain about twitter are actually more sockpuppets?
Let's face it, most of us don't track individuals posting records enough to notice the trends that lead to the conclusion that someone is using sockpuppets.
But if I were using sockpuppets, and I were particularly starved for attention, I might just go ahead and make a sockpuppet to call myself out with.
I wouldn't even know the name 'twitter' if it weren't for people pointing him out.
Maybe it goes deeper than that. Maybe I'm twitter. Maybe most of the people who posted in this thread are twitter.
Man, I have to go find a forum and do this on.
But I'm sure they'll come around to the idea when they think about it a little bit and realise that beaks are awesome.
My only question is how far up my arm do I have to chop the hand off to qualify for this? I would like to keep my elbow, but if that is the cost of being the first human with a squid-beak hand, I can make sacrifices.
NO! Please tell me you didn't just say "It can't get any worse." Tell me you said something else in another language that just looks like that phrase in English. Sigh. Gets ready for it to get worse.
I either do a modern page with modern javascript, and post a nasty message to anyone who doesn't have a modern browser that they need to upgrade...
Ah, so that is you doing that then.
Thanks. I don't visit your sites anymore because I see no reason to turn NoScript off on my modern browser.
Have a nice day.

Agreed. I've only been using Linux for about 3 years now, but this is the first I have heard of those commands referred to as "Windows commands".
It's more like they are very common hot-keys for any GUI app. They don't work in windows apps about as often as they don't in linux.

Which would be easier if you could point to a real-world example of communism.
Sigh, no.

You don't know what a Rube Goldberg Machine is, do you?

Um, no it's not. It's a rather fugly MS-bashing blog.
So Linux is more secure than Windows? What else is new?
Yes. A game. A Role Playing game perhaps? And look, It's Live Action too!
Now what would be a good acronym for Live Action Role Playing? Something to keep it from being confused with LARPing?
Didn't sound like sarcasm to me, but hey, if that's the way you see it...

You mean like Tanya Anderson? Yeah, that worked for her. Troll.
I can do it with one:

At least I could without the lameness filter.
Thank you for saving me from having to type out that post.

*applause* That was the best analogy I have ever heard on /.
Bravo.
