They are trying to get people to use FOSS video streaming technologies? Or selling out:) It is a great way to generate some interest in little known streaming tech.
I would seriously consider never coming to the USA again. It's not that I have a huge concern with collecting information about non-citizen civilians, but that I would not trust DHS in any way, especially when it comes to technology. But hey, at least the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Oversight game them a security grade of "D" this year. That's better than an "F" anyway:(
Brown now faces 10 felony counts related to selling pirated games and modding consoles.
OK, for pirating and selling games, sure. But it's a crazy world where someone can get raided for modding hardware legally purchased by its owner. I've never even seen an EULA for a console's firmware, let alone agreed to any contracts.
You can say that the codification of a moral structure provided by a religion is useful, but to say that there isn't a conflict between "7 days" and "billions of years" is simply nonsense.
I agree with you, logically the statement is in conflict. But once you posit the existence of an all powerful supreme being, logic goes out the window. It's kinda in the definition of all powerful.
So, yes, "To say that a creation myth has anything to say about the creation of the physical world is utter bullshit." That's why it is ridiculous to teach it as Science. On the other hand, people who believe in an all-powerful deity, to my mind, should be a more open to reason and practicality. If their God is all-powerful, it could have made reality in one way, set up the natural laws we have today, and made it look like it took billions of years!
I can't believe it is such an issue in the USA. People don't seem to even understand the definition of science. While I won't diminish the importance of religion or spirituality in life, science is based on reason and logic and is therefore a very practical and useful way to understand the natural world.
Personally, I don't see any conflict between the world being created by some God, even in 7 days, and its being formed over billions of years by natural processes. One is a faith based way of experiencing the world, the other is a sensory based, practical, and logical way. They are both useful.
What isn't useful is to deny children understanding of what, very practically and falsifiably, is the way our reality works.
The OS landscape changing as it is now (not necessarily as fast as we'd like it), this move is valid. Personally I don't like to use Microsoft products, no exception to Windows Media Player on Mac (a bit of a bitch to find and install the proper CODECs).
I like to at least have a choice of media formats available...
If, as you say, they won't come out in the open, the argument is moot: they would not use a public image sharing forum in the first place.
Either way, my logic is fine as far as I am concerned. If you can show me why it is not, please be my guest, despite any direct or indirect stabs at my intelligence:)
My argument is not that it will be a good honeypot for pedophiles (who knows - a lot of people are less than cautious).
It isn't skulking about unnoticed and it doesn't deserve another forum
No, it doesn't. But is easier, not harder, to find and prosecute these individuals when they are out in the open.
It's sad that the harbors of Freedom are sent underground like this. I would rather be able to see the filth of society clearly than have it skulk by unnoticed, whatever the forum.
It's just an expression:) I know it must be extremely frightening for anyone to stand up to such a large corporation. Mandriva's courage is commendable.
Whether there is a God or not, I'm sure he doesn't give a rat's ass about that shit.
If there is a God, why does he/she allow disasters like earthquakes and Microsoft?
*ducks*

I can't wait!
Good opening and closing paragraphs, but the descriptions of the chapters are somewhat repetitive and without much actual content.
I would like to know more about CSS, but I can't get a good sense of the quality of this book from the review.
You don't eat meth. See these two articles on "meth mouth".
YOU definitely should. Not that I don't love America, or at least what it's supposed to stand for, but fucking Christ this shit is getting ridiculous.
To which Brazil example do you refer?

Duh?

Well fuck... I'd give you an Informative mod if I had one :)
Best hack I've heard of in a long time (from my personal anti-MS point of view ;) Stick it to the man!

'Nuf said.
What a surprising outcome.
Puts a little bit of sunshine in the lately bleak atmosphere.
Nicely put.

That is too rich!
It seems like it would be more damning if it wasn't just Windows Marketplace, though.

I was afraid everyone was going to cave in to M$.
That is *sweet*!
I'm with Bruce on this one. "Open" means more that visible.
There's nothing unpatriotic about that.
