I see this downward trend in much of our world because, sadly, people are lazy and in a hurry. I feel that if you will not do it correctly, you shouldn't be doing it at all. Most people in out society are cows. Their finite, narrow world is all that's important to them. They feel that just getting the information out is the important thing. ERRR - Wrong you pusillanimous creton. They care not to look ahead and consider the ramifications of their actions and how it will impact our children or community. As much care should be taken with grammar and spelling on the web as on paper. The excuse, "Information on the web needs to be posted faster," is pure bull shit. I'd rather hear about something 30 minutes later and be able to read it without mentally correcting than have to re-read some idiot-posted scratch.
That is precisely why, a few years ago, I independently developed my own encryption algorithm, which I use when I need to send something securely over the internet. I use an 11.5 million bit key (it can be any length but I like to fuck with the feds) stored on a USB flash drive so that even GOD can't decode it before the end of the Universe. The code is efficient and very fast (it would have to be with a key of this length). If you are monitoring this Big Brother, there'll be a cold day in hell before I write in a back door for you . . . and you'll have to pry the source code out of my cold dead fingers to get your greedy little meat-hooks on it.

There. Everything you need to litigate if you have the balls, you cock-gobblers.
I have been writing Microsoft emails for a couple years in an attempt to get them to get their heads out of their asses and realize that Microsoft was starting to suck. Of course I didn't phrase it quite like that, but instead worded concrete reasons for their downward spiral, as well as possible solutions for them to ponder. Never once did I even get an automated reply to them. I can only surmise that the great Microsoft Corporation, the one that inspired nerds and laypersons everywhere, simply does not care what we want any more. Their agenda appears too political, and motivated solely by profit and a very narrow view of reality. I sincerely hope that the new guy on the block re-invents Microsoft . . . I fear Bill Gates may have finally killed it with Vista.
I would hazard to say that Bill may have planned for Vista's poor operation. If I were Bill, and I were to leave Microsoft in the hands of an underling, I might do similarly. Why would I wish to be succeeded by anyone that could potentially take Microsoft to new heights I'd never dreamed? I wouldn't, and would sneakily set about to sabotage the latest product(s) so that the world would point years later and exclaim, "As soon as Bill Gates left Microsoft, that new jerk ran it into the ground." Or, knowing that a product (Vista) was going to be a piece of crapware, I'd leave before anyone realized it. Most people don't care who ran the company when something was being developed, they want to blame the person currently in charge. I've been saying for about two years now, during Vista's development, that it was crapware. Now I get to say, "I told you so."
There's a fourth option, that being to keep the advanced functionality and reliable kernel in place but shield it from the "less than adept", as Apple has done with OS X. I see absolutely no reason that Linux cannot have a pretty GUI for those of you that are married to Microsoft, while retaining the advanced functionality, reliable kernel, AND all that geekie goodness for those of us who crave its' sustainance.
Simple. Commitees shall have absolutely no contact of any kind with any commercial enterprise with a vested interest in the standard being evaluated. Use a sequestered court room jury as a template. No outside information in. Give em the materials they need to evaluate and lock the doors until they're done. Also monitor bank transfers, etc., to insure payouts aren't being made prior to sequester.
Excuse me, but I'm an executive for an "undisclosed" cable corporation, and I'd like to respond to, "after spending over $100 billion in the last decade on infrastructure improvements." The industry (cumulatively) hasn't invested nearly that level of resources toward its infrastructure. If I had to throw a figure out there, I'd have to say 25 billion is closer to the mark. Sure they make it look that way on the yearly's, but I see internal reports that indicate, to me, that we milk consumers, all the while increasing board member salaries at the expense of hardware upgrades, overhauls, and new copper. 100 billion dollars over the last decade . . . nonsense.
It's about time a great idea such as this was implemented. I usually side with the ACLU on issues of privacy, but scanning publicly viewable license plates to catch offenders (something the police do manually already) is a step in the right direction.
Give me a break! The only reason game manufacturer's are throwing a shit-fit is because they want to sell adult-content titles to our young ones. It's tantamount to the porn industry having issue with children not being able to buy XXX material. There's a reason adult content isn't and shouldn't be sold to children: It's morally reprehensible and it's damaging. To the game makers: Stop trying to sell adult content to children. If your demographics show that there aren't enough adult consumers to make a profit on a game you're going to develop... (here's a clue) DON'T MAKE IT! Simple, huh? Gee, if the rest of the frikkin' world would get their heads out their butts maybe the sane people of our planet wouldn't have to listen to these stupid-asses whine all the time!
Like I fucking care what kind of (hear the whimpers and the violins) hardship this places on Linden or their lame-ass gambling users. Gambling, like smoking and drinking should be abolished. It has no place in society of any kind, real or virtual.
The Malaysian king is a joke and this new law proves it. He must have eaten some bad mushrooms or had sex with too many goats. He's flipped his wig . . . twisted his noodle.
If low-cost laptops are, as they say, a roadblock for Moore's Law, then I would suggest that manufacturer's stop fleecing Americans and do two things: lower costs by reducing the pay for American workers to something more in line with the rest of the world and, enforce lower MSRPs so that low-income people ($6,000 to $10,000 per year) like me can afford a laptop with the power of my desktop instead of forcing me to choose a desktop simply because a laptop in the same price range has a significantly slower processor, less system memory, lower capacity and slower hard drive, and less non-shared video memory. I don't care if they have to make them larger. This whole smaller is better thing has gotten way out of hand. I'd be happy with a portable the size of the old 8086-based Compaqs of the early 80's. Until then, I'll keep my cheaper, faster, more reliable, easier and less expensive to upgrade desktop.
