I am sorry, I didn't know your thoughts were so heavy, train tracks are necessary to transport them through. I'll try to be more considerate next time.
While that may be true, what I have on my side of the equation is also fun watching them twitch in response, like your comment, it just delivered a small percentage of the overall fun generated by this thread, you could measure it in milliFun units, mFs. You have just delivered.02mF of the total.
Also wikileaks must be closed, Assange needs to go to prison, in Iraq WMDs were found and now the country is free and democratic, all Taliban and Al Qaeda are destroyed, Iran can be taken by US and UN forces in days without any major problems, SS is not spent, taxes need to continue be paid to the gov't, who is clearly on the right path of doing everything correctly, the jobless economy recovery is getting better, even though the trade is not balanced, the gov't can continue spending even though it's borrowing all debt at short term t-bills and printing all the USD is not going to cause hyper-inflationary depression, stimulating spending is the way to fix economy, US not being competitive in the global market does not matter, gov't can fix everything.
Why is it that we continue to use a technology based on a 1960's view of a problem when clearly there ARE other solutions and ways to approach said problem?
- seriously. I have this same problem with the entire DNA thing - it's too damn old and hard to understand.
I say we switch to a new paradigm - NoDNA.
From now on we don't need all those silly As and Gs and Ts and Cs and the entire twin helical strand idea, it's too freaking old. We must move on with times, so that we can implement NoDNA-DNA2 paradigm. It's going to be faster and easier on the eyes, it's going to have more Zaz in it. Zing, Zork, Kapowza, Mazooma in the bank!
once someone is a VICTIM of a serious crime, at that point catching and punishing the will not change that fact. The problem is becoming a victim in the first place and no gov't can do anything about it, in fact they only make it worse by meddling with economics and destroying economy and creating more crime in process. I don't know your views on economics, so I don't want to go into a lecture mode.
My point is that you have to watch out and be able to protect yourself, and in reality gov't often stands in the way of that and it really doesn't care about you personally if something happens to you, it only catches/punishes people because they get out of line and seem to challenge their authority in a system, they won't have that. I don't have a reason to support any gov't activity.
As to wiretapping, I hope people learn to encrypt all of their important traffic.
I am absolutely indifferent to such concerns, I do not care to make someone's job easier by legal means at all, let them compete on how they do it. Obviously my position is not what most people have.
I disagree with anybody at all trying to get their hands on any communications whatsoever, courts, no courts, but what we are observing here is not about courts, it's about bribes and it's about gov't wanting to wiretap people at will with no court even. And yes, I disagree with any wiretapping at all, completely.
I am not sure why you were replying to my comment 2 levels up in this thread, probably got mixed with someone else? I wasn't talking about ads, that's why I am asking.
As to advertisement, I never clicked on any. For a while I had that option on/. to take out the ads and didn't bother, then some weird ad came out with Flash and I don't remember what else, that was so annoying, that was the last time I saw an ad on/., I turned them off. Yes, I use ad block, no I don't care about ads and how these sites are paid for, none of my concern, if they lose their business, too bad, wasn't a working model then.
Is it the kind of agreement when RIM rims the Indian gov't and pays stacks of bribes and then all rim users are also forced to rim the Indian gov't?
well, judge for yourself
About one million BlackBerry users would have been affected in India.
"RIM have made certain proposals for lawful access by law enforcement agencies and these would be operationalized immediately. The feasibility of the solutions offered would be assessed thereafter," the ministry said.
Yes, you must have a MINIMUM of HTML5 and Oracle 11g, but TODAY if you have over 12 years of that particular HTML5 and Oracle 11g experience, you are FIRED for being too old:)
I only spent 15 years in this industry, half as much as the GP, and I have met a few honest sales/marketing people, I mean as honest as it gets in an industry, the entire point of which is to push some product/service out of the company door, when there is a plethora of similar products/services already out there.
Competition is good, the only thing that I do not like about this is when sales/marketing clearly openly lie on what the products/services they sell do, when they say things like "yes, this does X", and the developers are sitting there, thinking "holy shit, it doesn't do it at all and it's unclear how it could do it, that's not even what this product is about". That's the most blatant kind of lying, the other kind is more insidious, the kind that sells stuff only due to personal connections and/or bribes. I hate fucking bribes, but what are you going to do? Most of everything is done that way.
That's not insightful, that's idiotic beyond believe.
Do you, freaking guy, understand what it would do to the Internet, if every move on it had to be legal and regulated and legalized and approved and licensed, etc? You'd have a crisis on it similar to the economic that is the world experiencing right now.
Also, your gov't will have absolutely no problem establishing a commission, creating a division, setting up a number of ministries - departments, and hiring an entire army of clerks and then justifying that to raise taxes even further and getting into debt even more and printing even more money and taking away everybody's value of money and all for what?
So that a bunch of people can end up becoming less productive members of society, sitting there, stamping papers, writing out fines, collecting more revenue for the government, setting more rules and regulations, creating more monopolies, destroying any new ideas, generally displacing resources from productive segment of society to the least productive one?
ghhhhhh, you need your own separate Internet and separate government and separate tax system and separate set of gov't bureaucrats for this, because I am not paying a dime for any of it.
It strikes me as the psycho ex gf/bf who cant accept Apple broke up with them and refuses to mail order a new Android companion (or at least get a RIM job)
- hey, stop that. What do blackberries have to do with any of this?
Slashdot Mirror
Well, I am pretty sure that is someone 'pinged' me, I'd likely die, so it's quite a reasonable assumption on the GP part.
it's my job and it's the best way to get the news.
News is broken? Can we put it back together again? Will any extra-components remain after we manage to put the news into one piece once more?

BTW., NOBODY said oil was leaking in the first days of the BP oil spill either.

obviously you care to respond to my comment.
To answer your question: NO!
Of-course not.
Also wikileaks must be closed, Assange needs to go to prison, in Iraq WMDs were found and now the country is free and democratic, all Taliban and Al Qaeda are destroyed, Iran can be taken by US and UN forces in days without any major problems, SS is not spent, taxes need to continue be paid to the gov't, who is clearly on the right path of doing everything correctly, the jobless economy recovery is getting better, even though the trade is not balanced, the gov't can continue spending even though it's borrowing all debt at short term t-bills and printing all the USD is not going to cause hyper-inflationary depression, stimulating spending is the way to fix economy, US not being competitive in the global market does not matter, gov't can fix everything.
So again, NO.
it's easy to explain, I don't watch movies or listen to music, so facebook and itunes is of no interest
hm, I am just not excited by these wonderful things to care to find what they are in the first place
I have another question: what's facebook and itunes? Am I the only one left not using those?
Loooong loooooooong time ago. I wouldn't say it's about W, it's much before that.

It's just what cool kids would use.
Waldo?
so is that the White House or the Fox "News" headquarter, what's your poison?
cheers.
