Why have I been modded troll? I have 'The Hindu' and 'Times of India' right beside my desk and neither of them reported it. A quick google search shows that the only people who first reported it is the IDG news and rest of the news world just copied it. And none of the news sites that turn up in the search are Indian. Call me troll or conspiracy theorist or whatever. I don't blame you because you are just a victim of the propaganda.
I haven't touched yesterday's copy of my paper (the hindu)
That explains why your post has anger rather than surprise. If you read the paper, you would be surprised that Hindu didn't report it, nor did any Indian news paper.
No popular Indian newspaper reported anything like that. I'm pretty sure that this news has been created by the manipulation wing of CIA and published by its media partners. Those filthy bastards don't like to be idle. Now that they've exhausted all the crap they can publish about China, they've turned towards India. Please don't believe them.
Once we're boycotting all the search engines that have caved into to the demands of the Chinese government, what search engines are left?
If you think that very few search engines would be left, then there's a better strategy for you: Instead of boycotting search engines, boycott Chinese products. That's what your government wants to achieve by flooding media with anti-China news. The sooner you boycott Chinese products, the sooner I get back a shit-free Slashdot. Oh, wait! What have I been thinking? After boycotting Chinese products, there will be news flood about some other country.
If every nuke on the earth is destroyed in a gesture of goodwill, there is nothing stopping a lucky and well funded whackjob from building one himself.
You're partially right. The truth is: regardless of what happens to existing nukes, there is nothing stopping a lucky and well funded whackjob from building one himself.
So far, I haven't seen a single first strike on US. But I have seen dozens of first strikes by US. Using nukes is bad. Period. All further argument is either ignorance or greed or political propaganda (it could also be the result of being a victim of manipulation by political propaganda).
The Chinese government is responsible for decades of allowing people to literally set up stalls on the street selling pirated copies of Windows by the thousands.
Just like the US government is responsible for world-wide economic depression.
Linus's comment:
"That does not look like a kernel problem to me at all. He's running a setuid program that allows the user to specify its own modules. And then you people are surprised he gets local root?"
Sounds reasonable to me.
... of course, by completely controlling media, the government is creating a population of robots who aren't thinking critically and are ultranationalist only by default...
Just like the US government. This has been the US government's strategy for the last 50 or more years. And it's still working successfully. How else would the "critical thinking" people of a country consent to so many wars?
Does the generated code run on AMD processors perfectly? Intel has done many anti-competitive things and I'd be surprised if code generated by TBB works perfectly on non-Intel processors.
I used SWARM an year ago and I was impressed by the possibilities it offers. It was also pretty stable. I'm sure it would have achieved a very reliable level of stability by now.
1. A country 'X' enters US's list of "evil" countries (as if people from that country are genetically evil.)
2. US government orders media to raise doubts about the legitimacy of elections in country X.
3. US government orders media to create false stories about racial/religious nature of the government in country X.
4. US government orders media to fabricate stories about the presence of nukes in country X.
5. US government agencies announce that their networks are being hacked by people from country X.
6. Pentagon announces that hackers from country X stole sensitive information (as if all the sensitive information is available on some website like http://sensitiveinfo.pentagon.gov/
7. US citizens give their consent for war.
8. Millions of people die in order to satisfy the capitalistic greed of a few weapon-manufacturing companies/agencies.
What's really pathetic about human intellect is that the above sequence has been looping for more than 50 years and the citizens still don't understand that they are being manipulated by media.
Slashdot Mirror
Who asked open-source hardware? I just want hardware whose programming interfaces are completely documented.
I see a sharp rise in "country X is evil" stories.
This news is similar in intent to the previous fake news:
http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=30DEC75D-1A64-67EA-E43462F642213B89
Just as in the case of previous news, I went through Indian media extensively and I couldn't find ANY THING like this.
People, I beg you to wake up.

Examples of throwing software-makers into jail.
Refuse? They would be thrown in jail, and the Chinese office would be history.
Could you give any real examples?
The 50-cent gang really exists.
How do you know that, sir?
China is now paying 10's of millions for military secrets.
And how would you know that?
Some in the field think that China is several times higher than what USSR ever was.

bend over to all of China's whims?
Since when is asking a company to do business legitimately, a "whim"? Oh! I get it. You must be a victim of the ongoing anti-China propaganda.
Is this not simply because to some people, China simply can't do anything right, no matter what?
The western media is to be blamed for antagonizing China in every possible way.

I've got a feeling that Nigeria will be the next country to enter the US's list of "evil nations".
works on any ISO-compliant C++ compiler

And it has also been leading to (or becoming a ruse for) wars.
