By that logic you should arrest the people who teach programming languages at colleges, I think they call them professors, you jackass. Just because you know how to do it doesn't automatically make you a bad guy. And you can't be responsible for what people do with knowledge either. Any knowledge can be used for good or bad. The morals and ethics of an individual determine what is to be done with said knowledge, not the teacher.
The real problem with all these people demanding change is that they hold some seat in the next incarnation of whatever it is they are trying to change. It's like saying
"Damn this guy has no idea what he is doing, but I do, so let's overthrow him and I'll run it."
How am I suppose to trust anyone who is making a grab for the same power they despise?
Funny how you can link the terrorists to it again... FUD! FUD! FUD! I'm sure this is the same stand our government is going to take and the same reason they will use to occupy Iran. Yes all these countries took a hit on their traffic but only Iran went to 100% packet loss.
We aren't very well versed in warfare tactics eh...
First you cut power.
Then you cut communications, if you can't completely eliminate them you clog the pipes.
This is effectively dividing them up and making smaller individual targets that can't coordinate as well as they should be able to. Then by removing the communications and power you also get the side benefit of messing with their economic system. Bam! Instant instability. Now you let that go and act like you want to help. "Oh no, we'z be sendin' aid right to ya pronto!" After that you let the populace implode on itself. The instability and the recent threats of nuclear weapons now give you a valid reason to occupy the country. You can't let the bad guys get their hands on the nukes right, we're only trying to help.
Just my, tin hat wearing, take on it.
It's how I'd justify an invasion if I wanted to bypass any type of controls.
After all the hoopla about microsoft this and microsoft that for the last 20 years of my life, when does the google hunt begin?
Seriously, these people are building what looks to be a NWO under the guise of a concerned corporation. Maybe my tin foil hat has been on too long, but corporations have long since run the U.S. government. is google trying to achieve world domination but do it with your support and well wishes... Since they aren't microsoft.
Actually, it is not rare at all for a Judge to fine a lawyer. What happens when lawyers screw up is they get "sanctioned". It's when they don't follow the rule of law.
So I am suppose to congradulate someone that ran off at the mouth about something they knew nothing of, because they have finally picked up some of them fancy books and learned themselves real good. No wonder this world is all fucked up. The lady should have her hands cut off and her mouth sewn shut so she can no longer spread F.U.D. when she is to busy to do the research.
Then let those people kill themselves and take bad drugs. Quick fixes never work and natural selection is a bitch. I am, however, wholy against Ron Paul. I mostly think this way because his bullshat confidence scam is easily seen through if you actually think about what he says. He uses all the same tricks that other politicians do. To top it off he never directly answers questions, instead he uses the trick of redirecting the question back to the person that asked. He does so in such a way that you think he's answered something, until you think about what he said. Just beware of the guy that always has the right answers. I can make most people buy into anything I want them to, I just have to figure out the attack vector. It's the same thing car salesmen do. They have a quick convo about things you like then attack your sensibilities from that angle. Playing to emotion is always good for the win.
I'm betting the shadow layoff thing is correct. It does seem rather apparent now that they are going to get hung by the warantless gathering of info for the gov'ment. The best way to lay people off without having to pay for unemployment is to make them quit. I guarantee you that it will be impossible for some, if not many, of the folks they have working for them to return to a brick and mortar building.
You are arguing semantics here boss. No one in the main stream cares to make the distinction and that is where the branding of the term will ultimately come from. You can fight for proper word useage all you want, but I'd like to think there are better things to worry about than a coined term that means little to nothing.
This is away for the gov'ment to get all the info in one place and to get you to put it there voluntarily. I bet there is a clause somewhere in the user agreement that gives them permission to access and use your content. You know in order to properly catagorize it.
Wisdom comes with age and 18 year olds have very little of either. The last thing in the world you would want is a 15 year old having some say in how the country works.
I think we should all just agree that most people are bad at any type of security. They dead bolt their doors but ignore the stranger in the elevator. People react to stimulus; brains react to stimulus. It is the reason magicians can pull tricks on someone that is so intently watching for the trick. The key here is that no one would know what it looked like if they saw it; not the magician's trick or the security breach. Everyone thinks a hacker is some geeky kid in his basement. Not the radiologist down the hall or the guy sitting in the cube next to you... When in fact most of the time it is the guy next to you.
The real underlying problem is the idea that something always fits into a nice tidy catagorized box. Until people realize that the box is part of the trick history will continue to repeat itself.
Ok, so this topic is just up my alley. As a former editor for an unnamed Primedia publication I can let you in on a few secrets and also tell you why this article does not suprise me in the least. Now I don't know the "editor" of this audiophile mag, but I do use the term "editor" loosely as it infers some type of integrity.
Here is the low down. Primedia is all about the bottom line and that generally leaves no room for the reader. The reader of a magazine is simply to boost numbers so the publication can show a potential advertiser how many readers they have and what the potential exposure for said company is, if they advertise. When I worked for one of their "magazines", I also use this term loosely since they are more like catalogs, I was often told to do a review of the product. When said review didn't live up to it's claims we either had to twist the truth and create enough hype that the shortcomming gets overlooked, or you call the advertiser and ask them if they want the article to run. The fact is the truth was obfusicated. In any case it is very easy to skew the results of any test. Also unless there is any test data they will usually just spit out manufacturer specs. I was actually fired because I pissed off some advertisers and published an article without checking to see if it was "ok" with the advertiser. This advertiser demanded my head for this and Primedia gave it to them. The $5000 full page ad was saved, praise be to Jesus.
here is the deal and it is just like everything else, so get out the tin foil hats. Primedia doesn't care about it's readers. It cares about it's advertisers.
If you look at the Dell website it tells you it is for more advanced users and probably won't work for mom and pop. Everyone else in the world also states that you need to be a little bit more savvy to run it, but you can understand it if you want to.
Now my question... If everyone in the world that is involved with this has already stated that it is not ready for mainstream use, including the company selling the laptops. Why do we need a review saying that it is not ready for mainstream use? Seems redundant to me and more like a fluff article.
Also if someone is not ready to try a new GUI interface and has used windows why would you buy a unbuntu laptop? I only bring this up because of the absurd comment the author made about people who aren't ready for a new interface shouldn't get it. I'm betting if they aren't ready for a new interface they've not even begun to look this direction for their OS.
In any case the article is just fluff that has no real point. Bravo to the mainstream media for taking what Dell stated so eloquently in two lines and making into a thousand word dissertation.
Oh BTW last time I checked you still had to manually update codecs for media player also.

There is also the slight possiblity that we asked the wrong question.
42.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a run-on sentence is a "sentence and a half."
My god, it's full of stars.

good luck with that. John Titor already solved the problem when he came back in his GE206 Temporal Displacement Unit to pick up that IBM 5100. Duh.
B1 Damnit you've sunk my SQL servers. I guess this brings a new meaning to the phrase "my network was attacked"
I can save the mice time. The answer is 42. Maybe you didn't ask the correct question?

Or advertisers simply found a bug in our wiring, exploited it and no one has patched it.

It's called a book. They are familiar with the interface as well.
