  1. Re:QQ on MySpace Loses Ten Million Users In One Month · · Score: 1

    Racism is not a position or disposition. That is simple hatred, bigotry and prejudice - which have a number of psychological and sociological bases.

    Racism is an "ism" - like Fascism or Capitalism or Communism. Racism is ideological and institutionalised - formally or culturally. It refers to systematic effect on a class of individuals, and individual experience of that effect.

    People may be part of a Racist society or institution - regardless of their own personal bigotry or inclusiveness.

    Meteorites would surely be attracted, to complicate plot.

    The story is misleading 'tho'.

    There is just as much PD left on 2nd-hand Blackberrys, and I would venture guessing that there is even more CORPORATE data on those...

  7. Re:GPL is the problem on Apple Remove Samba From OS X 10.7 Because of GPLv3 · · Score: 5, Informative

    the more strict GPLv3 license, which prevents Apple from using the software commercially

    This is a gross mis-representation of GPLv3, and obfuscates the real basis of argument that Apple may have in conforming to the licensing terms.

    That's a technical case of bigamy - by most state laws. Utah may be excepted. :-)

    Why is it news? This occurs every day. There's a marginal "OMG! teh Facebooks" spin...

    Right you are.

    Polygamy is multiple wives, usually in some form of cohabitation or concubinage.

    This man is a bigamist. Marrying twice, and maintaining separate households.

    I blame HBO.

    Nixon and Reagan were both to the "Left" of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

    But Nixon would have hated being categorized with Reagan - he thought of him as a charade and a twerp.

  17. Re:Okay... on How Is Obama Doing On Open Government? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You don't do this over a private.
    You do it over rule of law, rules of evidence, and principles that were established as the fundamental basis of legitimate government - in tradition and precedent that goes back to at least the thirteenth century.

    Again, you forgot to use the word "allegedly", to modify the second verb in your final sentence.

    If this criticism seems irrelevant or incomprehensible to you? Then it is no wonder you have a nation falle to such a sorry state.

  18. Re:Well....he certainly talks a good game on How Is Obama Doing On Open Government? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bait and switch. But, were it possible for a President to initiate and enable change, the office would be eliminated.

    Barack Obama appears to spring, fully-formed, from the head of Zeus, at the 2004 DNC. That's a sure sign of someone who has been crafted, behind the scenes.

    He was always Lieberman's protege. When it was very-well understood that Hillary would not win an election as president, the crypto-corporate DLC folks used a fake-fight for primaries to set-up the insertion of Hillary as SoS. There, she is completely responsible for the management of Foreign Policy - or should it be more appropriately named as Imperial Adventure.

    You Americans have been so gamed, for so long, you think it is in your own interest to manage world affairs! I assure you, it is not.
