and you know what bad guys do if they don't want a corpse identified that way? Pull the teeth out and throw away separately. You want that done on a living for password retrieval?
Another stupid idea. Next is the ear scanner, the hair scanner, the tooth scanner (all of the above is out in the public, for someone to make a replica of any part of your body that is out in the open, is just a matter of time). Then they'll move to more private areas I guess and then the internal organs, which will of-course go through a phase of vaginal and anal scanners.
This is dumb. Of-course Michael Jackson could use this better than others, he changed his nose shape more often than other people change their hair color and his nose was not out in the public.
Lenin was a true atheist, Stalin... I don't know. But their motivations were a bit different than just 'stopping the religious from living'.
They did not stop religious Muslims from living, they were going after Jews, but not for religion purposes, they just needed a distraction, and Jews were always a good one.
The main point was to get rid of the Orthodox symbols and rituals because that was the religion of the Tsarist Russia. They needed to get rid of the 'old' and it also was a good way to get rid of the competition.
With Lenin this was not as obvious as with Stalin, he really saw religion as competition to the new religion, the Communist Party with Stalin being the leading character, Christ or something to that order.
Consider that old churches were turned into vegetable stores and morgues and that Party had very strong symbols of its own, the colors, the sermons (ceremonies of the party meetings on TV, so called 'plenums'), the insignia, the icons (Mother Russia, voloneters).
This was not a society of atheists, this was something else.
No. Whether Stalin was an atheist was his own business. Whether he wanted the country to be atheistic, that's a serious question. He did not.
He wanted the country to be mono-religious and the only religion allowed would be the Communist Party religion and Stalin would be it's Christ.
You would understand that if you knew that during the war and the more difficult 'peaceful' times, the main slogan that was pushed into everybody's heads was: For the Motherland, for Stalin!
Atheism was just a word, the purpose was a single religion and no other religions were allowed, since they were strong competition.
Yes, and the government only needs to print that to pay it. Since the government in most cases is the monopoly on money supply, whose money do you think devalue and end up paying for all the newly printed cash anyway?
You are probably right, but I think open source programmers need more of one more thing , which they maybe not getting enough of. Blow jobs. I think free and open source programmers need more blow jobs. From hot women. We should get the hot women to join in on this idea somehow.
If you had didn't make up your opinions from what a dictator said his motives were, you'd see that this is not a source that one can trust.
Simple example: just yesterday a TV channel in Georgia (former USSR republic) has announced that the president (Saakashvilli) was killed, that Russian forces have entered the country, bombed cities, airfields, power plants, that they have taken over.
So this is a TV station, all of which are under complete control by the government. See anything suspicious?
My point is that you cannot trust a dictator, he maybe behind the very thing he is so violently protesting here. Just saying, wouldn't be the first for a government to create an artificial incident to justify their 'retailitory' actions.
NoFlash FireFox add on is so popular because people hate flash. I only have it because of youtube and once it's not needed there, well, there will be no flash plugin on my machines.
He is not doing it because it is just the Internet, he is doing it because Internet is the Greatest tool for freedoms of general public and it threatens his regime. I laugh at Sean Penn, who says that any journalist who calls Chavez a dictator should be jailed. I laugh at him, but it is scary what his views are, isn't it?
Why is this story relevant? Because Chavez wants to control the Internet and the best way to go to control such an environment is to lock down the tools that make the Internet work. The open protocols, the open standards, the open applications that make the Internet chug away, those are the reasons why the Internet is still open and it is what it is.
If all protocols and tools were not open but proprietary, how ridiculously easy would it have been for such control freaks and dictators (too bad I am not a journalist, I would have had fun with Penn there), how easy it would have been to stop the Internet cold. Killing something that is proprietary is ridiculously easy.
Open is the way to go, even if majority does not realize it, openness is the key.
You do sound retarded. Adobe Photoshop is not something that too many people use and there are many choices, Gimp or whatever, those are viable choices.
Flash is something that is almost mandatory for half of the web, and it is a proprietary application with all the problems that it brings to the table.
First by the very nature of being proprietary, it is broken, since the Internet is based on open standards. It is broken because it does not follow the same open concepts as the rest of the major Internet protocols, formats and applications. It is broken because it belongs to a single entity, that may chose whatever direction it wants to take and the directions it takes has nothing to do with the well being of the Internet, it has to do with money for a single corporation.
It is broken, because it is an attempt to do the opposite from the rest of the Internet, it is an attempt at thwarting inter-operation, it is broken because users cannot do with it as they please by modifying the source.
I am not against proprietary applications, protocols, codecs, standards, as long as they do not become major part of the infrastructure, as long as there is no reliance on them and thus as long as they do not become a monopoly in the otherwise mostly well diversified open field.
Photoshop is not relevant for majority of Internet users, Video streaming into a browser is.
Proprietary is wrong, when it becomes a De facto standard that is used by various ubiquitous services without an way to opt out and use something that is not proprietary, but open.
I don't know what you are regurgitating the current state of affairs for, from my perspective anything that rids of proprietary formats and apps in favor of open standards is the way to go, so from my perspective, whether html5 plays a particular codec or not is not relevant. As long as html5 is introduced with any codec, eventually it will play whatever it can legally on most systems and I won't have to use any proprietary bullshit again.
Otherwise I'm sure we would of all seen at least a few steam punk hearing aid mods by now.
- he is deaf, not visually impaired. I guess only a native English speaker would be able to make that error, I can't even imagine how I would go about doing that.
Now back to the topic: imagine steam punk style applied to a hearing aid device, with some clunky gears, smoke and illumination, probably would look like a walking bulldozer.
A year ago I was watching one of Discovery programs I think and they had a couple of guys who supposedly implemented a piece of software, that would allow an airplane to fly and land safely if for some reason, while in the air, the tale would brake off or rudder would just stop working. They relied on a fly by wire airplane of-course and controlled the yaw with all other surfaces by applying very slight changes to the motion. They were saying a human could do this if extremely lucky, but software was able to do it almost always.
many entrepreneurs aren't willing to give up a regular paycheck
- r u sure those are 'entrepreneurs'? I gave up a regular paycheck a few months back, about 12-16K/month, depending on overtime to try and do my own thing, which may or may not materialize. It could be the worst idea I had so far, but it's mine and I am doing it, if it fails, I will blame myself, but if I never tried, I would have certainly ended up blaming myself for never trying.
If you still remember how to use those BBSs, the IRCs, then you can get back into the 'darknet' world I guess, though today it is also about appearing/disappering websites and botnets. Botnets like Zeus got that whole 'FreeNet' idea and have their own implementation, only it's not exactly free.
There should be a vampire/zombie law, that should apply to cases like this: everyone still trying to make this case go forward, gets a wooden stake through their hearts, or the most likely places where the hearts are supposed to be based on general human anatomy.
That, and then cut the heads off and burn them and then drop the ashes into 3 separate volcanoes.
Slashdot Mirror
He said he was grudgingly doing business, I am sure every time he checks his gmail account he is grinding his teeth.
One thing I can say from this: buy steel manufacturers' stocks.
and you know what bad guys do if they don't want a corpse identified that way? Pull the teeth out and throw away separately. You want that done on a living for password retrieval?

ah, a troll then. I am backing html5, it will be taking over the video streaming into browsers, as far as I am concerned, flash is done.
Well you see, now you got it. The odds of that happening are about the same as what parent post suggested:
- Programmers must learn UI designing also
- We need more UI designers to join us
You are probably right, but I think open source programmers need more of one more thing , which they maybe not getting enough of. Blow jobs. I think free and open source programmers need more blow jobs. From hot women. We should get the hot women to join in on this idea somehow.

Moreover, proprietary is inherently wrong when concerning such important pieces of infrastructure that we rely on for our freedoms as the Internet.
Inherently.
Proof is simple, look at this /. story about Chavez wanting to limit freedoms of Venezuela Internet users.
He is not doing it because it is just the Internet, he is doing it because Internet is the Greatest tool for freedoms of general public and it threatens his regime. I laugh at Sean Penn, who says that any journalist who calls Chavez a dictator should be jailed. I laugh at him, but it is scary what his views are, isn't it?

h.264 is a codec, I don't care which codec HTML5 uses to play, I'll take any, as long as I don't have to use Flash ever again in my life.
HTML 5 is a clear winner by virtue of not being Adobe Flash or any other proprietary application but an open standard.
Looks like I have a cult of followers forming there.

Yep, normally that results in death
