this is like an alternative historical fiction... we get to see what the personal computer revolution would have looked like if telecoms drove it, rather than computer makers, hobbiests, small pc building companies, and end users.
sad that consumers are getting so used to the carriers driving what computers they buy know.
no one who images a machine three times should be called an engineer.
in defense of imaging, I respect this approach over "run hijack this, malwarebytes, registry cleaner, and spybot s&d.... then apply these file changes and registry hacks I found on the internets". that junk doesn't belong in an enterprise....
As soon as there is porn, copyrighted materials, commerce, cyberbullying, un-approved knowledge, or hurtful words on it, governments will ALWAYS find a way to get involved.
Based on the history of BBS's and the Internets, I suspect that won't take long.
Soccer moms, concerned citizens, safety nazis, anti-business and anti-free-speech lefties, anti-porn religious and anti-free-knowledge righties, there's about a thousand sides of a thousand issues and they ALL want a slice of pie.
I'm saying the "slippery-slope" gets a double standard around here.
Government regulation of the internets? There's no way that could go wrong!
Law enforcement activities? OMG! Give them and inch and they take a mile!!! Patriot Act!!! ATTICA!!!
If we need a list of thing the government STARTED with then expanded their grasps to include, and never relinquished control of, you might just find quite a few of the things you agree with and kept quiet about.
The argument that all those firearms comes from the US is a red herring from Mexico to place blame on the US, which anti-gunners, the media, and power-hungry politicians latched onto like rabid dogs.
On one hand you have South America which has been at the center of cold-war proxy wars for decades with all kinds of ordanance.... on the other hand, maybe cartels prefer semi-auto rifles and revolvers for twice the price?
Nope. 1984 was just another piece of the Think Different campaign of posters staring left-wing ideologues to ingratiate Apple to teachers unions, artists, college-town hipsters, and trustafarians.
Mod me down, but you know I am right.
It was a brilliant marketing move that is still paying off today.

And the producers of Kickass, which paid a child to say "giant cock" and several other lude statements.
Could a constant stream of encrypted data going thru his carrier and ISP bring government attention to him or her?
Will this hot, culturally restrictive government just throw their hands up and say, "well... he's got a VPN... not much we can do"?
Go ahead an invent an entire new internets.

I imagine there are some out there who would kill the rapist pro bono .
and why is the 80gb faster than the 40gb version of the otherwise identical product?

I'm gonna take a guess at the cause:
letting mission-critical systems be used by employees to surf facebook and download cute fonts and wallpaper.
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but big consumer is not concerned about procedure as they are about availability and price...
Even drug addicts have the good sense to NOT blame the dealer.
Have cake XOR Eat Cake.
Leave it to an Emo to choose the benevolent dictator.
Please tell us how to SSH to port 80 and issue GET commands.

Like Net Neutrality?
Or are you the only one allowed to use the "slippery-slope" argument?
when I was in ramadi in 2005 to 2006, it was common practice for the aqi to use mentally handicapped for suicide bombings.
the local insurgents would use them for ied emplacers.... sometimes with tragically funny results.
but what would I know.... I didn't read wikipedia.
Technically, when it leaves your mouth it is a frame.
In 1966, I went down to Greenwich Village, New York City to a rock club called Electric Banana. Don't look for it; it's not there anymore.
If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged.

Really? Americans sold them fully automatic AKs and hand grenades?

Ban murder. That aught to fix things, right?
Problem that doesn't exist????
You don't get it. This could solve child porn, terrorism, and free expression in one shot!
Nope.

Perhaps you prefer "buffer creep" or "second-buffer-syndrome"?
And with all the time they are saving not actually... you know, going into space, they can now move into movie critiquing.
