false. The VAST majority of private companies glomed onto it when they saw they could make money. They have been trying to slow its development, and limit it's use every since.
I was using the internet just fine well before large private companies got involved.
Learn thew difference between socialism and social ownership.
Hint, this isn't socialism. I know its' tough. You would have to go all the way down to the monks, and have them transcribe you a dictionary of terms which could take years. If only all the information was connected together some how..
or, If only people would actually look up what they are talking about before post, Even better, if people would question themselves about the things they repeat and occasionally look them up to be sure they haven't become mistaken.
You may not have notices, but in the New America we pay teachers shit, treat them like shit, and want to pay them even worse shit and then complain that teachers are becoming shit.
There are some amazing learning tools coming out for tablets. I would rather not increase the class size, but use them to personalize teaching.
" Most school districts spend 70% or more on salaries." and?
"Yes: longevity, durability, performance, quality..." based on anything besides your ass?
I thought not.
"Alibaba is a crapshoo" and why would schools go through a web site instead of a vendor with guarantees?
It's nice that you think you personal story is some how relevant or even good data, but it isn't.
OTOH, any one who compares iPad against 'Android', as opposed to specific manufactures that meet a set of criteria, is stupid.
I have an iPad, but I'm not going to let me think that should carry any weight when discuss mass purchases for a school.
I also sue a 200 dollar android that has worked great ad server me better then my iPad for a number of reasons. Again, thats no reason to think it counts as data.
" all the bellyaching about it being a horrible OS is coming either from " actually profession interface designer who are actual experts have point out why it's a horrible OS. The people who don't want to look at that seem to be apologist and the ignorant saying its good for the simple reason that they spent money on it there fore it's good. The interface violates the 4 C's.
The underlying OS is stable and quick.
" in my experience" And there is it. Personal Bias based on ignorance, the inability to think critically about something you spent money on, and you ego.
Yes, cut what little science and engineering is being done in this country some more, good thinking.
Find a way to punish the people at MIT you abused the system. I suspect many of the teachers and students are just as appalled by these actions as you and I are.
He committed breaking and entering, and he access a computer he DID NOT have authorization to do so. Just becasue you can get to a place on the web, does not mean you can go to where the web sited is hosted, break in the back door, and plug in your laptop behind their firewall.
You seem to know nothing about the case, nothing about his actions. You have the some gall to imply other people are idiots.
How about you learn the facts about something for talking about them?
"what he did amounted to the digital equivalent of checking out too many library books. " No. What he did wast the equivalent of going to closed library, smashing smashing in the window, and then throwing books out the window. Would you argue the someone who did that was just giving out information that was going to be free anyways?
Remember, there was breaking and entering, physical access a computer he was not authorized to access.
You example would only apply if he sat at home a distributed the files via bit torrent.
MIT is weaseling becasue they are the ones that kept pushing the DOJ for a harsh punishment when the DOJ want to just drop the case.
"The government, of course, certainly didn't go easy on him, "
MIT not 'The Government'. the DOJ wanted to drop the charges, MIT (the victims)wouldn't let them.
Just becasue a library allows you to get free information doesn't mean you can through a brick through their windows when they are closed.
", it's a crime to do what he did, and he was threatened with excessive penalties," no, he wasn't. Don't confuse 'Maximum penalty possible' for a crime with what the person will get. This is a classic media ploy to make number seems bigger and scarier.
The DOJ wanted to drop the case, MIT wouldn't allow them. MIT was the victims so it's not like the justice system can choose to ignore the victims.

Another person referring to 1984 and not getting it right. Have ANY of you people actually read the book?
And he didn't apologize for his actions.
To bad the leak document from him show that you are wrong.
Stop confusing socialism with social ownership.
Large scale Socialism works pretty damn well, actually. Especially for basic needs and infrastructure.
false. The VAST majority of private companies glomed onto it when they saw they could make money. They have been trying to slow its development, and limit it's use every since.

All evidence regard infrastructure proves that statement false.

This is fail on a level I've not seen since...
the previous story?
That's wasn't pedantry, it was wrong. Bandwidth has two different meanings.
There is asymptotic bandwidth, multimedia bandwidth, consumption Bandwidth, capacity bandwidth, and so on.
Context is important.

You're an idiot.
Did you notice the much of the government is also up in arms about what the NSA did?
Convenient that you forget about the breaking and entering and then illegal access to the computer system.
You idiots needs to realize it is not about the docs, it was about the crimes he committed to gain access to the docs.

This is about MIT trying to control damage.

Nice bias you got going on there.

It has nothing to do with election.
