One question that people dont ask often is how effective is this mass wiretapping?
Assuming the govt agency spy on a very big part of the population, doesnt it make a lot of information to filter?
Arent terrorists able to use encryption?
Wouldnt the efforts be better spent investigating people that actually pose a risk rather than go thru the huge bulk of information they get from mass spying?
Yes its not only about using quantum physics to validate some way-off new age theory. Its also about Ramtha, 35000 years old warrior spirit , who is using JZ Knight as a channel to express himself all the while making her richer...
Also there's that Dr Emeto's "experiment" where thoughts make ice crystals happy or unhappy that has NO scientific basis.
Here's a complete debunking of that way-off movie.
if thats your reason for liking the MPAA, you must like windows for the blue screen of death.
Capitalism is structurally about growth and increased profit. The idea of derailing funds from making more profit towards "human" causes is incompatible with the capitalist system.
People think that coz they see capitalism as something ruled by individual will, as if it was a human being making ethical choices. Its more like a machine, systematically steering the social organization towards its goal: profit.
Basically, the CEO that starts making decisions that would derive from that goal will either plunge its company into bankruptcy or will be replaced by its shareholders when they see other companies in the given market have better performance.
One of the main problems I've experienced against clean/solid code in the industry is that new features will always please management more than debugging and cleaning code.
For instance, in my weekly tasks update, my immediate superior will always prefer, and thus push for, that I say I wrote new features as he enjoys saying "the system now does this" to his superiors. He doesnt sound as cool saying "we spent a week debugging what was already there".
With time the code becomes unmaintanable and you end up having to rewrite the whole thing, or at least large parts, in order to make it progress beyond a certain point.
Ive seen some managers having more foresight about this but most of the time they'll fall in the "new feature" trap...
do you think the boss will say "You've asked for your overtime pay so I have to fire you"?
he'll say something like: "you are not involved enuf in the project, it seems youre not willing to give the extra effort that your co-workers are giving"
the employer will always have a "No overtime" policy.
but lets say youre close to a release and everyone is staying overnight to finish the product what will you do with the "no overtime" policy?
youll go "ok Im leaving I've done my hours"
youll end up pissing off your collegues and that will be another reason for the boss to fire you.
what I was trying to get at is the fact that if the workers dont demand these things as a whole, you can have a stack of laws and it wont affect our workplaces.
the problem is not whether the law allows the bosses to pay or not pay for extra hours, its all about availability of workers willing to not demand for extra hours to be paid.
I mean if I start to insist on getting paid for every hour over 42h/week I work, my boss will fire me and replace me with someone that wont ask for overtime.
"They don't really give a shit about their people anyway."
unlike the us government who gives much shit about their people, plunging 400 billions of dollars in a war for the oil industry, refuse to give health insurance to sick americans to cater for private insurance business, wiretap their citizens,...

how about giving a link to it or some kind clue for us to get this article?

well maybe you were confusing biology with physics.
"for every action there's a equal and opposite reaction" is the 3rd law of mechanical physics of newton.
just so we're clear.
I dont see how the action/reaction idea could work with the concepts exposed in "the origin of species"

It has nothing to do with licensing in 91 Hurd could only use GPLv2 has v3 wasnt there.
the main problem IMHO with Hurd is the choice to make it a micro-kernel, GNU MACH and now L4.
Coz he doesnt like weather forecast. Never have and probably never will...
Arent these five things not equal at all in terms of how they could change computing?
I mean how can you compare that "mouse" with quantum computers??
The first allows you to get rid of the mouse pad and the second could render today's cryptography useless...
I wonder who put these two side by side and thought they were as ground breaking.
