I don't have to defend satyagraha. It played a historically accepted, defining role both in the liberation of India and in the US Civil Rights movement under Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your straw man attack on Gandhi is irrelevant to the discussion, but you may certainly be right about the world being a darker place had the Allies not fought violently against the Axis in the Second World War.
However, my point in my original post stands: violence is not the only means by which one people may impose its will on another, and the very idea of effecting such an imposition can be considered offensive to a reasonable person.
If you're referring to the United States government, then it may be more correct to say "a set of people forcing its will on itself." That's how our republic works.
The aggrieved in such a conflict has more than one option, at least one of which--satyagraha--is both effective and nonviolent. In that light I agree with you that force must be met with a counter-force. But if you mean that the only way to resist violence is with more violence, I strongly disagree.
War is ultimately the only way to inflict a nations will upon another.
The notion that it's a good idea or even possible for one set of people to force its will on another is what leads to war, and it's one we might do well to change.
There was a time when states effectively funded universities. Now that they don't (with our permission), and they're forced to play games with intellectual property and patents, who are we to complain?
Call your fucking legislators and have them pony up for your schools.
it's pretty impressive, but not in a good way, that the programmers could extract that sort of performance from the combination of Facebook's servers and my dual-core, 2GHz+ laptop
What the article suggests is using the browser as the interface to the computer. Which is just as silly as using the browser for an operating system.
Why not skip the idea of a separate browser "application" altogether and build web-rendering into something that resembles the "desktop," with some kind of multitouch swipe that brings up an application launcher for stuff like Skype and your favorite porn torrent downloader and video player? Whoa...I feel like Steve Jobs all of a sudden.
It comes free with all new Macintoshes, and upgrades only cost $129--far less than that Microsoft-produced knockoff.
Plus, it's actually Unix, for those who care enough to use the very best.
A young person who isn't a liberal has no heart. An old person who is has no brain.
So could it be that the mental flexibility of youth makes them more susceptible to liberalism (in the modern usage of the word) than the more experienced minds of the older generations? No.
If they MAKE a profit, there are charges and fees they will have to pay. If profit ever appears imminent, all they have to do is increase their operating costs.

We are in the process today of building out a service platform in the cloud, Ballmer said. Sounds like vaporware to me. By the way, I'm willing to bet that at some point he really wanted to say the following:
The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud! The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud, The Cloud!

And that system is user-configurable.

"Very well. You may expect to be the first to be sucked into our singularity. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
0 stays 0. It's a digit-for-digit substitution.
what if your reaction is "this looks and sounds like ass" ?
You'd be correct.
In the first Macs, the system software was stored in the ROM
False.
I believe the argument is that if the technology was developed with "significant" school resources, the school should get something out of it.

Not everyone can kick the shit out of fascists trying to steal their vote. Nor are they necessarily aware that it's happening.

At 250+ mph, you don't have to fall 30k feet to die horribly.
At least we know the difference between glass and Lucite.
Jacks and sockets only, eh? I wonder what's going to go onto the ends of the cables.
Yes. Thank you.
