Lost Ends

I was also reminded of Twin Peaks, but I found the Twin Peaks ending way better. At least it acknowledged its craziness and was the exact opposite of a Lifetime movie ending like Lost.
Just look at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I know it's taboo to criticize, but as the Priest in A Clockwork Orange said, "What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness?" Intentions and motivations matter, and Gates has demonstrated time after time that he is motivated by selfishness and arrogance.
I am mainly curious on how they solved audio. They can ignore the packaging issue and provide statically compiled binaries that are packaged by the repository maintainers. OpenGL seems is fairly robust on Linux, but I wonder how they tamed the beast that is ALSA. Maybe they used SDL?
Just look at the images (highly NSFW) and count how many "neutrally illustrate the human anatomy". I mean, one file is named "Me and my chucks". Come on.
Try looking up "Vulva" or "Vagina" (I can't since I'm at work). Last time I checked (when the german wikipedia chose to use the "vulva" article with a hairy "muschi" as the article of the day) there were more than a hundred closeup vagina images. No I personally don't object to that, but I think it is unnecessary. The slashdot crowd might be very... open-minded about porn, but the question is if the majority of the people who donate to the Wikimedia foundation is as well.
I meant lawlessness as blatant disregard for individual rights and freedoms, which are the focus of libertarianism.
Libertarianism defined as the government not regulating the economy has nothing to do with Somalia and other places where the government doesn't exist.
A libertarian government still protects individuals personal rights (which of course also covers violations of the terms of service, which is the issue here)
I will grant you that the Communist system leads to a concentration of power, which leads to corruption, which leads to immoral people being in charge, which leads to labor camps and mass executions. But, if you go full Libertarian, in most markets you will naturally end up with a monopoly. Which is a concentration in power.
Again, the difference being that "power" in the context of communism means armed forces and secret police, while the "power" of a monopoly is being able to sell light bulbs slightly cheaper than your competition.
Why do you believe it will end in a different fashion than communism?
The flaw in your logic is that you are quick to point to where another system has failed and seem to think that because your system hasn't failed, it is better. It hasn't succeeded either, though. Lack of information is not a good argument.
The fact that you can sit on your PC and complain about the system (specifically some content provider changing some TOS) over the internet is an pretty good indication that it is succeeding.

the cop might sue you because you invaded his privacy (no joke, that happens)
Thanks.
Dear slashfail, this is what the summary should look like.
The reason is that they are not allowed to. Live in a commune, nobody cares. Try not paying taxes, you get thrown into jail.
So they can target ads at you because they find out that you like crossfades and lens flares?

You are right. The only solution is to ban poverty.
Just ban the alternatives too!

So... where is the criticism?
Congratulations, your posting now is the top Google result for "ultraviolet catastrophe"
not a huge conspiracy by Google.
Admit it, you're one of them!
He didn't even say porn is a bad thing. He said porn in his app store is a bad thing.

This time I'm killing it off for sure.
No you won't.

At least Terry Gilliams is a proper fan of PKD. For example he appears in this highly enjoyable BBC Documentary.
Like governments that protect the rights and liberties of individuals as proposed in libertarianism?

Because anarchy and lawlessness is the same as libertarianism. Right.
