According to Wikipedia, "Dropbox is a Web-based file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc. which uses cloud computing to enable users to store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronization."
According to Wikipedia, "Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, Service-oriented architecture and utility computing. Details are abstracted from consumers, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them."
Just because s/he's another stupid conspiracy theorist whose train of thought is not grounded in reality doesn't necessarily mean s/he's wrong, though.

>Terrorism is also threatening to blow people up just because you can. It's also threatening economic sanctions or embargoes if certain ultimatums are not satisfied. By this measure, the United States government is the largest and best funded terrorist organization in the world.
I think number of civilians exploded might all ready qualify the US as the biggest terrorist. Any way you define the word, as long as a country can qualify, the US is the big one. So, naturally, the definition needs to include the phrase "non-state" or something similar.
Way to partypoop on my philosophical ideal view on the general dialectics of the future with well grounded realism.:)
But you're possibly right. Even in the longer run, it's likely that the powers that be will not let it come to a revolution. They will continue to disarm discontent with giving enough of us plebs convenience to keep history meh in general.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't keep dreaming, though.
So, that just means the people are not in power, which should be what democracy means. If the DNS:s aren't neutral, if corporations, or anyone else who isn't "the people" rule the world, it doesn't mean people should go back to class to learn about what rule of the people means, it means that people should take power from those who are not the people but have the power, doesn't it?
>Wikileaks' successful movement from the country which it has transgressed* to one of the many countries that are willing to give it safe harbour is a sign of "a total worldwide fascist corporate police state"?
It's a sign of us not being there yet, but the DNS takedown is a step in that direction.
And, ultimately, no more Internet? Or what are the power elites gonna do to hide their shenanigans from the people?
If this is what the so-called free and so-called democratic world is, I'd say we must be progressing nicely towards a total worldwide fascist corporate police state and/or a distributed and decentralized revolution to eliminate all hierarchies.
Mayber some of the following paragraphs from tfa would have fit in the summary:
""" "Any use in the Android Platform of any protected elements of the works that are the subject of the Asserted Copyrights was made by third parties without the knowledge of Google, and Google is not liable for such use," Google attorneys wrote in one of 20 defenses to Oracle's amended complaint.
Another defense states that Android was "created independently and without reference to any works protected by the Asserted Copyrights."
Elsewhere in the document, Google discusses the formation of the Open Handset Alliance, the coalition of vendors, including Google, that worked together to develop Android.
The filing also notes that Android can be freely downloaded and developers are free to modify the source code to suit their needs.
In addition, Google states that Oracle's patent claims should be denied under the doctrine of misuse. "Oracle has come to the Court with unclean hands due to its practice of requiring licensees of its purportedly open software to pay for licenses to items not covered by Oracle's alleged intellectual property in order to receive a license under Oracle's alleged intellectual property." """ ?
Now, I don't remember if bringing up Cory Doctorow is a good or bad idea, but he's written the short "Printcrime" that would be relevant to this topic:
>There's a fundamental reason why tax cuts are good: starve the beast.
It would be likely, that starving the beast would first shed such excess fat as health care and social security and other things that would benefit the poor.
This would lead to an even wider gap, which would lead to more crime, which in turn would justify an even stronger police state.
So, even if one would agree with your anti-statism, tax cuts are not necessarily pragmatic.
No, no, no the neutrino flavors follow the same pattern as basic emotions: Happy, sad, approving, disapproving and umami. Umami is a relatively recently discovered emotion. It feels like broth.

>FOSS has gone a long way to make the world a better place, but it's not a be-all, end-all solution.
Sure it is. We're just not there yet.
>are the ones that need to tell others what is cool and what is not
What about those who tell others who the real losers are, what are those?
I think your analogy is lacking something. If I wanted to host a mirror on her server, I don't think I'd get the clap from that.
Oh, never mind. I get the joke. Now.
>It's just under me here.
Is this part of some I-had-your-mother and your-momma-is-so-fat joke?
>Can I keep it?
Sure, but also remember that possession is nine tenths of the law.
>Aren't there laws against these practices?
You know, I might ask you the very same question, Mr tsa. (j/k, your probably not *that* tsa, right?)

The title and summary of the first occurrence of the story was so bad, that they decided to give it another shot.

Unless, of course, yellow snow is the only thing around that could save you from severe dehydration.
