If you think that is dodgy ask his holiness about Federated Media. He is near the tops in my list of arrogant self-righteous media whores that say one thing and do another.
Knowledge of Pro was why everyone waited until it came out and skipped RT. And to further complicate things it uses a wildly different CPU architecture (ARMs or tegras) than Pro tablets that use Intel, so traditional windows apps will *not* work. One of many colossally stupid decisions made by Ballmer during his illustrious tenure as CEO.
Kissinger only negotiated after realizing the US would ultimately lose the war. Kissinger was the person that convinced Nixon the war could be won instead of a peace deal and withdrawal of troops as Nixon had promised during his campaign. Oddly enough at the end of the war, the deal agreed upon was essentially the same deal offered to the US years earlier, only Nixon and Kissinger had the hubris and lack of empathy to sacrifice thousands of Americans and nearly half a million innocent Vietnamese lives.
So when it is all said and done, fucking Kissinger doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace prize either.
I heard Google also stole the pagerank technique from another search engine then wrote the paper to "look good" and have credibility. FFS Google has been caught lying so many times it baffles me why people still fall for their good guy, do no evil horseshit.
She wrote the idiotic self-contradictory book called Lean In which is the woman business advice book du jour. It is obvious she has connections to get herself trumpeted all over MSM for this farce on pulp. Simply assign this book (and her) the same importance any sane person does to anyone spewing the latest business advice targeted at a female audience. None - because ultimately it will be completely forgotten and irrelevant in six months time.
It's only man made if man created the sun. Most compelling scientific evidence I have seen links solar radiation cycles with global warming. This includes the recent downturn in temperatures.
Lance Gooden is a Republican. This is the party that is always talking about Big Government, "freedom from government", etc. Freedom from government unless your rich friends get caught polluting a river by a drone that is.
I don't have a college degree and get $55/hr. I may not be Bill Gates, and a dumbass (I only speak 3 languages, can write code and build hardware), but I do OK. Oh, and I also don't have massive college debt to repay, because most people I've encountered that speak of how awesome of a degree they have are usually the most incompetent. Does that count for "showing them how it's done" ?
Yes, but do you believe that Facebook will actually do that?
This from a guy (Zuckerburg) that said his users were idiots for trusting him. Repeatedly he has lied, deceived and cheated his business associates, users, and media.
"criticize it as having an idiotic interface" would be a more realistic comment.
That and it's branding sucks, which is unfortunate. The person that chose the name "GIMP" should be hung drawn and quartered.
Yes we know what it stands for, but 99% of the new user base that could have used it doesn't. Why? Because he/she read the name first and passed on it, and is now using another image app. If the app can't take itself seriously, why would the user?
Go to OpenSecrets.org, find each candidate, select 2012, select the industry tab, then the "Campaign Cmte & Leadership PAC Combined" option. Note the combined Computers/Internet amounts.
Orrin Hatch $290,200
Amy Klobuchar $148,879
Marco Rubio $129,157
Chris Coons $67,950
They are all whores, doing the bidding of their masters. But it should be no surprise to readers of Slashdot, that if Orrin Hatch likes it -- you probably won't.
Yeah, and that will never happen. The day that happens all developer tools become illegal, all file sharing becomes illegal, including FTP sites, and putting an app on a SD card becomes illegal. Ain't gonna fucking happen and your full of shit. And what type of app cannot be found on iTunes or the Android market. And barring that can't be installed on Windows, Mac OS X, or linux.
BTW Cory Doctorow needs to STFU as well, he doesn't seem to have problems with making money of the non-free Kindle. He is always on his high-horse about censorship unless its at Boing Boing. And I for one have never heard any righteous condemnation of Federated Media and it's dodgy deals with small bloggers, because oh wait, he is making fuckloads of money from Boing Boing and the Federated Media partnership.
SOPA is about control. The web is the one area that the powers that be do not fully control, this legislation provides the mechanism to accomplish that, in much the same way that the true intention of the PATRIOT act was to strip away other rights in the name of security.
If this isn't proof enough to everyone that both Democrat and Republican parties are both completely beholden to the corporate master I don't know what is. There is no way in hell a member of the old (real) Democrat party of 60 years ago would have done this. The only remaining step for Democrats like these to become full-fledged corporate-whore Republicans will be to join in on union busting efforts.
Because two North American governments are major share holders of this company, I am sure that tracking operations will immediately cease, because we all know governments hate doing shit like that.

Yes you are correct, which is why I am astounded people continually recommend Tor as if it is a privacy panacea.
...but in reality it still sucks because the NSA will be continue to log and sniff all traffic between the host and web site.

Falafels are OK though, just ask Bill O'Reilly. *snicker*

This money could be better used for banker bonuses like our bailout money was.

He keeps it around for the free bath salts.

Because it benefits car companies to have a higher MPG rating.
Are you still ingesting massive amounts of mind altering substances?
I would probably find this app annoying, but so is Apple's schizo application vetting & approval policy.
Animal entrails can be read more reliably.
I didn't think that was possible. The Nook is a better ebook reader than both. I can actually read and transfer PDF files to a Nook with a USB cable.
