It's not like he is saying to do it to a company that is doing nothing wrong or has done a little wrong. This company has created possibly the worst environmental disaster ever. I would agree that an extra special cock-up deserves an extra special punishment. After all had Hitler not taken his own life do you think it would have been fair to just stick him in prison for life?
Oil companies have proven time and time again to have not learned their lesson. Clearly something needs to be done. That should come in the form of an exceptional punishment for BP and better regulation to ensure this is less likely to happen again because quite frankly grabbing profits afterwards every time won't fix the damaged environment.
Perhaps a better solution would be to ban BP from ever operating in US territory again.
The awesome thing about Obama is that he is proving that black people are the same as white people and even when put into government they become as useless as anyone else you put in there.
He needs to grow a pair of balls and do something about this. He probably won't and to be honest it probably won't be held against him. Sadly if he did something and the cost of gas went up that would be held against him.
How many people care about the Exxon-Valdez incident or the last Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Ixtoc I? Yes there will be lawsuits and BP will be paying out but when you're part of the richest industry ever and can easily pass the cost onto the consumer who will forget about this why would you worry?
They know people are like junkies and don't care as long as they can get cheap oil. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if there were a huge number of people that would suck dick like a crack whore for some free gas / oil.
They have us by the balls and there simply aren't enough people willing to do anything that would threaten possibly raise the price of gas. How many people hold the Exxon-Valdez incident against ExxonMobile despite the fact the area is still screwed up?
If you knew people will pretty much forget about this completely possibly as soon as a year you'd cut corners too so it's no surprise this mirrors an incident that happened in 1979. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHmhxpQEGPo
Whether or not oil will run out there are many reasons why we need to cut our dependence on oil.
Yeah the whole reason this is screwed up is because of foreigners. Let's get a environmentally friendly company like ExxonMobil to drill for our underwater oil. Their record is impeccable.
On 10 July 1933, Rothermere wrote an editorial titled "Youth Triumphant" in support of Adolf Hitler, this was subsequently used as propaganda by the Nazis.[23] In early 1934, Rothermere and the Mail were editorially sympathetic to Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists.[24] Rothermere wrote an article entitled "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", in January 1934, praising Mosley for his "sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine".[25]
Rothermere was a friend and supporter of both Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, which influenced the Mail's political stance towards them up to 1939.[26][27] Rothermere visited and corresponded with Hitler. On 1 October 1938, Rothermere sent Hitler a telegram in support of Germany's invasion of the Sudetenland, and expressing the hope that 'Adolf the Great' would become a popular figure in Britain. However, this was tempered by an awareness of the military threat from the resurgent Germany, of which he warned J.C. Davidson. Rothermere had an executive plane built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company which, with a speed of 307 mph, was faster than any fighter. In 1935, this plane was presented to the RAF on behalf of the Daily Mail where it became the Bristol Blenheim bomber.[28]
In 2005, the British Foreign Office disclosed previously secret letters from Rothermere addressed to Hitler from the summer of 1939, in which he congratulated the German leader on his annexation of Czechoslovakia, urged him to invade Romania, and called Hitler's work "great and superhuman"
Because if MS creates good software people will buy it? It's not like they're knocking out much as it is with the protection.
As she pointed out there are many industries in the same situation as fashion. Furniture and cars are one and I don't hear either of those successful and rich industries crying about copyright protection and I think it would be laughable to say the car industry doesn't spend money on R&D and arguably they've had much better results than MS.
Lastly, you can get tax benefits for spending on R&D. So it's not like copyright and patents are their only incentive.
I think that's her point though. Clothes are utilitarian and something everyone needs and therefore shouldn't be controlled by a few people. But because of that they've had to be more creative to stand out. Quite rightly clothes shouldn't have a copyright and where would you draw the line over what is just clothing and what is fashion when technically it is all some sort of fashion.
I'd also say software shouldn't really have copyrights either.
It is there for me and even if I type in a URL and exclude it chrome will add it. This is on my windows machine. I don't have chrome on Linux yet but will seeing how Firefox is worse on Linux.
I'm sure they have been trying while at the same time probably trying to ensure they can easily get back and pump it out again rather than being concerned with just sealing it off.
How about instead of wasting resources giving the world a streaming feed of them polluting the ocean they spend that time and money on actually stopping it.
Half the people using it (ie project managers) in my team are completely useless with computers and they got it in less than a day and were creating their own waves with little intervention from me. It takes all of about 2 minutes with people to show them how to use it. Certainly easier to learn than MS word or even outlook.
How did you expect to pay for a free service? I really dislike it when people don't want to pay and done want adverts either. It's one or the other otherwise they can't support themselves as money does not grow on trees.
What are you on a P2 450 mhz system with IE6? My work system is at least 3 years old with some cheap intel graphics card and even 3 years ago it wasn't top of the line (typical business machine, imo, just enough to get the job done) and wave is as smooth as any other text box even with the constant ajax requests to show what I am typing as I type it.
We're using it at work for collaboration. it's freaking sweet. It's not perfect but for free it *more* than meets our needs. I hardly hear anyone talking about wave. It's a shame imo, because it is pretty damn useful at least in certain circumstances.
It only detected 2 out of 20+ sites I visited since last clearing out my cache (slight porn guilt makes me do it every so often) both of which have passwords I use only for those sites. I don't really care if someone gets my slashdot account details or twitter details. It's certainly not the end of the world.
According to their link it isn't even that good. It showed that I came here and twitter meaning it missed out about 20+ other sites. Considering I didn't do much at all at twitter and I don't who knows I come here, I'm not too worried.

There have been many more oil accidents than nuclear. By your logic we should have many more nuclear accidents.
Yeah the whole reason this is screwed up is because of foreigners. Let's get a environmentally friendly company like ExxonMobil to drill for our underwater oil. Their record is impeccable.
It has to be up at least another 40 years before I get my $30 worth out of the game.
You must be a real joy to live with.

It is a communication tool...if anything a programmer would know less about it than a teenage girl. ;-)
That said if you do have a decent team and wave it is a good way to sling data back and forth to each other.

Start your own wave server. That is the thing, it is not a Google only thing.

No really. Remember commands and remember where to click through numerous windows is about the same. It depends on how you learn to do it.
You expect me to be able to manage a server without awesome hardware accelerated graphics? What is I am supposed to do with my graphics card?
