Good thing we can't make hard drives any where else in the world! I love globalization. I don't know anyone in the states that could be trusted to work at a plant making hard drives. They'd expect to be able to pay for food, shelter, and clothing, and we can't have that!
It's already happened. Terra Nova episodes have been posted to usenet, and shared on P2P, so they aren't going to be lost any time soon. What is trivial today, wasn't in the 60's.
That being said, I'm still utterly amazed that they put money into funding a television show, and then literally erase the tapes. What a waste!
"Stuck in the 90's" isn't a valid excuse for scrapping something that works very well. Windows 95 had its share of problems, but the UI wasn't one of them.
Who would have guessed that phones would completely be the thing to mangle and ruin PC user interfaces... It's crazy but I've come full circle to thinking KDE4 might actually be the only sane desktop team left. Unless they're planning on turning it into a tablet/phone UI as well.
It's funny that nearly half the comments are asking what would be happening if they were shot, or that they actually deserved to be shot. That's the whole point. Security was so lax nothing like that happened. You should be thanking them for exposing this bullshit.
That's okay, I've already done the research for myself. I'm sorry if my personal choice has offended you, feel free to keep using whichever browser you prefer.
Feel free to use Chrome. I'm not here to debate anything, I simply stated my preference and opinion. I'm not a browser evangelical, here to convert you to Firefox, can you say the same thing?
Is that an honest question, or have you been asleep for 10 years? This is Wall Street. You don't have to provide value to expect a yacht full of money.
Software isn't free speech, but the code is. I mean, I'm sure as a purely hypothetical legal argument could be made in your favor, but it's never going to happen. As long as there is an internet, the free software genie isn't going back in the bottle.
I'm pretty sure every country is hypocritical in this regard. Or are you honestly going to sit there and claim that China, and every other country is altruistic?
And yet the "big 3" networks routinely get better ratings than cartoons and Fox News combined, and they don't spout off conspiracy theories about George Soros. I see you didn't even try to respond to the actual topic.
This whole globalization scheme is working out wonderfully. We'll have a global aristocracy at the end of the decade if we can just keep it from blowing up.

Ok, I'll start with you.
Yeah sure, that's why you posted anonymously with a talking points bullet list.
That's exactly what I was thinking...

Space Nutters? GTFO of /.

I 100% agree. Those are still great desktops as well.

Because Tony up there just wants his life back!

I trust Firefox with my privacy rights more than I trust Google, which is simply an advertising company.
Just go to TFA and look at the comparison pictures yourself. He's scanned a few frames in, and they are obviously far superior to the DVD images.

Yep, in other words, you've got nothing.
Sure, they could pass any number of bad hypothetical laws, but what's the point in "debating" about it?

Topical, but yet nonsense. Linux is free. I'm not sure how you place punitive tariffs on free software you download over the internet...

Same old same old, from everyone, including you. Because your premise seems to suggest that only the U.S. is bad for protecting their own interests.
Can't argue with that, I just try to stay "positive". ;)
