Question: If you have an observation/opinion/speculation about someone and wish to discuss it with others via. internet communication -- and that speculation involves things of 'perverted, sick, vile, [and] inhumane' nature -- how do you go about it?
What if you express your idea artistically? (I'm only guessing people might have made images to represent ideas since the internet often has this trend.)
What is the difference between discussing an idea about someone and slander/libel?
Is there a difference between discussing one's opinion on, for example, this specific case, PRE or POST trial?
A lot of people thought O.J did it (and what they are talking about is a horribly disgusting bloody murder with a knife), and even post-trial people still maintain the idea and express it publicly. Are they in the same boat?
I don't think they are aiming to battle on the concept of 'security' but rather the easily exploitable human characteristics of fear and susceptibility. This is, to a knowledgeable person, an obvious attempt at spreading rumor/mudslinging to create a widescale negative buzz among the weeble peoples.
Those that would prejudice the science of evolutionary biology based on the name "Darwinism" would likely prejudice the same if given any other name; they simply refuse to learn.
I am always saddened by perpetuation and protection of ignorance, as implemented by mob-rule theotards. I just keep wondering when the pursuit of Truth will prevail over the protection of the irrational.
I build my own computers, so I guess I forgot to consider most people just buy the full package including the OS they 'should' use. lol.
I paid $145 for xp pro oem (with a $5 mouse) at PC Club. I avoided buying Vista for the first year and a half because I knew it would be heavily security flawed and would eat up most my computer resources thus rendering my computer semi-worthless for what I do with it (music production / gaming). Within that time period, Vista became widely known as a turd so I never spent that $200 just to later frown upon.
Also, I know that people do not necessarily notice the waste of money that windows is if they have never experienced something like ubuntu. If you don't know any better, despite how bad the MS OS is, you still think it has value. But once you know, for example, how powerful Ubuntu is -- the problem of MS's crappy products becomes a glaring beacon of regret.
So I guess my target group for the line you selected is "people who actually know a bit about computers".
Yeah, it looks like they went from embracing straight to extinguishing and completely skipped over the extending part.
Damn, I was hoping we could at least get a few drivers out of them before we got to laugh at them for trying to shut down a private, not-for-profit organization with a product superior to theirs in almost every way.
Oh well.
One thing that is great is that Ubuntu really brought linux to the people; me included. I resisted linux for about a decade due to the difficult complexities you had to learn, even though I grew up on DOS 6.22.
Now, when I'm on the net, its like 1/2 the people I know have or have used ubuntu, and would definitely want to see more of it in the future! And *everyone* bitches about MS. LMFAO. One of the reasons its hard to hate Ubuntu is the pricetag. When MS fails, you look at that debit on your account for $145 or whatever you paid and you keep wondering why you paid for such a failturd.
The future for linux/ubuntu is very bright. I think many of the efforts of the world, beyond OS and software, will become open-source not for profit assemblages of work. Competition and adversity is not taking us very far; cooperation and support is quite obviously becoming the true path to ideal success and peace.
I was just about to post something along those lines. You should have a score of 5 for pointing out the obvious to people who conveniently ignore such facts.
And concerning those scarce resources I have one more piece of advice. RECYCLE.
In time, though given your examples we would never need to, we could also develop equivalent technologies that do not rely on scarce resources.
just a day or two ago I was reading right here on slashdot about how MS will be adopting OSS; that the main OS was a loss and they would focus on making all their software for OSS....... and now MS is gonna strategize against it. Seems to me like people writing these articles actually have no effin idea what is going on.
Kinda makes you wonder if government intervention is really necessary.
We are definitely not doing enough. In what I view to be ideal, not only would we source energy from easily renewable sources such as wind, but that we would do so in such surplus/abundance that energy would be nearly free. This then reduces the costs of almost all things dramatically and would have amazing widespread impact not only on our country, but the world as a whole.
Shoulda got it a long time ago... Its not like we didn't all see this coming. Anyone with half a brain knows that when you add technology to something simple and relatively secure, you then allow it to become complex and easily exploited.
I know this is my opinion on how hasty one ought be, but its not like Google was condoning the act or promoting the video. It seems that they were not immediately aware, and once made aware, moved quickly to make things right.
Whats the problem here? Do we all have a duty to right the wrongs of others in nanoseconds if those wrongs are somehow involved in our own publicly accessible properties? What about offensive graffiti? What about belligerent racism on a myspace comments section?
What if Italy has had a terrorist in its borders for more than 24 hours? Ought we hold them accountable for harboring terrorism due to lack of rapid response?
I agree 100%, and I will add that the moral of the story is that even though this is interesting, the buggy initial release won't even happen for another 12 months.... and so we just keep windows and exchange until then.... and if not, well, we've already go our alternate option figured out, so wtf is the point?
I would definitely agree that all those beatings had a lot to do with the conditions he is in today. Isn't parkinsons mostly a physically encumbering disease? How do you account for the obvious mental capacity/function losses?
No joke. Whomever still believes that... "The idea that you can whack your head hundreds of times in your life and knock yourself out and get up and be fine is gone,"... obviously has never met or seen a head trauma patient or, more easily/popularly, Mohammed Ali.
Can we mod this whole article 'ridiculously obvious'?
This law is a foolish waste of time. Hows it go? The time machine back to 1984 was built with good intentions? Something along those lines..
**88......ZzzzZAP ***...sizzle...
Doc: Marty, we've got to go back! Marty: Wtf for doc? I really like this hoverboard! Doc: You don't understand! These phones in the future! They have CAMERAS in them! People might take a pic of your peen when you're not lookin! Marty: Oh, well if that's the case, I can't handle that! Take us back!..**.. POW! >>>88mph.... ZZzeeeerpt!
I'm not talking about blacks being intimidated. Re-read what you quoted me saying, which was thousands of blacks being purged from voting registrations for having the same general names as convicted felons.
You obviously avoided that and reverted to the 'blacks intimidated' concept because you know you can't disprove what happened on that one.
You need sources, use google you biased cherry picker.
In the shooter game market some got good enough resumes to get paying jobs out of their free work. I do not know if anyone has made significant money retroactively for what they did for free.
Someone doing work that is wholly their own can get some success if people will buy it but someone working on LBP or in the mod community has no legal revenue stream from that work.
Counterstrike started out as a free mod for half-life, which was originally developed by the guys who made the free mod for Quake 2 called Action Quake 2.
Both were awesome, and almost better than the actual orginal games! As you probably know, counterstrike took off to become a big commercial product and if those guys weren't picked up or paid off, it would be a damn shame.
Oddly, as we approach a culture that may someday accept gay marriage, we also approach a culture that does not rely on marriage as a bedrock of civil society.
I'm curious how you correlate marriage, or lack thereof, to sexual habits and drug abuse. Married people cheat all the time and has very little, if no impact whatsoever on drug abuse.
One factor that is (in my opinion) more important that marriage is community. It is because we have lost the concept of community and working together that marriages are worthless, people do not respect each other anymore, and seemingly everyone puts themselves first. Our culture is sick with individualism and materialism and much of what we can all agree as 'wrong' today is a result of such new ideals.
Give people community and they will find love for each other; give them individualism and they will find adversity in pursuit of such selfishness.
also turned out to be the #1 discarded and ignored issue as well... wtf was the point of change.gov if the biggest issue that people have gets ignored?
Zeus didn't like it either because, apparently, most the Americans that watched Obama wanted to hear him praise some guy named 'Jesus'.
I dunno... I just don't get it, either... All these cool gods out there and he picks the one that looks like patrick swayze? come on!!! how about one with more than 2 arms! Even aphrodite doesn't get much play anymore...

Not a lawyer here, maybe someone can help.

I also heard Obama is a Muslim?

Be your own boss. Problem solved.

Yeah, because a truly unbiased news source will never contradict itsself.
huh. i thought it was a neatly organized echoing of blogs.
God forbid we don't get to watch tv. I wonder what it looks like outside? Oh, right. Reality.

You meant to say "I *think* that is a really stupid analogy".
Thanks for your input.
Shoulda got it a long time ago... Its not like we didn't all see this coming. Anyone with half a brain knows that when you add technology to something simple and relatively secure, you then allow it to become complex and easily exploited.
E-voting?
... to remove something like that.

What I love about charter is how they don't make secret deals with the RIAA as far as I know. They sell you internet access, you get it. Deal is done.
I wish I could get charter where I am at.
I would definitely agree that all those beatings had a lot to do with the conditions he is in today. Isn't parkinsons mostly a physically encumbering disease? How do you account for the obvious mental capacity/function losses?

Oceania has always preferred the Delorean.
From the article they are saying that the entanglement has occurred, etc.... they also say that they know the entanglement occurs 1/100M times or so.
My question... If observation destroys the situation they describe, how to they know the entanglement happened at all?
Anyone know?
