    Not only you. The whole human species would be extinct by then. We have global warming, pollution, fuel shortage, wars, corruption. These are enough to finish us by 2100. What happens in 2182 is irrelevant.

  2. Re:Not much of a change on China Renews Google's Content Provider License · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered why they don't change the name of their party to something like "Totalitarian Capitalist Party of China". Your post explains it.

    MS had them 5 yrs back. Like the IBM, they've had their time. Now is Google's era.

    Bing and Yahoo? Yes. Google? No. Google has excellent tie-ups with cronies in high-levels.

    So a mirror is shutting down. What's big deal?

    For performance reasons, tabs don't and shouldn't run in separate processes. You know, the original motivation for the tabs feature was that each tab could be run in a separate thread whereas each window needs a separate process. On most platforms, processes are more expensive than threads.

  9. Re:Capitalism !! on Intel Sucks Up Water Amid Drought In China · · Score: 0

    Marx is thoroughly outdated. He didn't anticipate the rise of capitalist media with sophisticated propaganda techniques. He didn't anticipate the rise of secret services that are powerful enough to force regime changes anywhere in the world, including democratic countries. He didn't anticipate the rise of war profiteers and military-industrial complexes. All these things are real game-changers.

    It's much better to read Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn.

    My government, on the other hand, has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to break its own laws whenever it's convenient for any of their actual constituents, i.e. corporations.

    You do realize that Google is a corporation too, don't you?

    What if some guy or some country becomes so insecure or so desperate that they'll stop bothering about retaliation? Emotions are irrational, you know.

    What about the Big Media? It's been serving the interests of wealthy and powerful corporations for more than 80 years.

  16. Re:OpenBSD could eliminate "cybercrime". on Starting an International Cybersecurity Conversation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Your logic is flawed. Your argument is like - OS2 is based on OS1, and OS1 is secure, therefore OS2 is secure. When it comes to security, the valid argument is - If OS2 is based on OS1, and OS2 is secure, then OS1 is secure. This is because the number of bugs in OS2 would be greater than or equal to (but not less than) the number of bugs in OS1. Of course, I'm assuming that bugs are the only mechanism for the emergence of vulnerabilities. But you get the point, right?

    There will be, eventually. It's an empirical fact. The bonds are just bits of paper. They won't carry any value in the final stages of the dance. We'll just say "we owed you XX billion, your actions caused XX billion damage to our corporations, we're even." See?

    For the most part, I agree with you. And guess what? I know the conclusion also. It will be economic sanctions on China.

    That's called jingoism. Usually, jingoism wears off after certain period of time - usually a week. But some flavors of jingoism - especially the ones arising from propaganda - will last untill the objectives of the propagandist are fulfilled.

    Unfortunately, Noam Chomsky has been labelled by the propagandists as a conspiracy theorist.
