When Oracle moves OOo into paid tiers, and requires an instance of Oracle 11 running on the backend to support the app, you'll really see who's a scumbag.
Everything Oracle's ever done is covered in shit. It drips from the top, all the way down.
Ironic distancing rhetoric, in the face of such uncompromising evil, is a form of unconscious minimising behaviour. It is the equivalent of taking a psychological anaesthetic.
Chertoff was the head of DHS who hired Stasi officers - like Markus Wolf - to design plans fro a mandatory ID programme, like that used to control freedom of movement in the former East Germany.
"Chertoff is credited with authoring the Patriot Act, the 300-plus page blueprint for the modern National Security State; patterned to great extent on the successes of the KGB in the Soviet system. He's admired among his Bush cadres for making sure that government surveillance operates at maximum efficiency. Under his stewardship at the Dept of Justice, the 4th amendment has withered like summer grass. The long-held belief that citizens, have a right to a "reasonable expectation of privacy" has buckled under the demands of
"Big Brother" and the new "intrusive" security paradigm."
And: "Chertoff's record of failure at Justice is second only to that of Ashcroft. His 4 year tenure hasn't produced even one identifiable success. (Check out his "obstruction of justice" in the John Walker Lindh case on Democracy Now)
Instead, his personal ineptitude and his palpable contempt for the law have only showered more disgrace on the institution of American justice. That probably explains why he's being moved up the bureaucratic dog-pile to the top rung of Homeland Security. In Bush-world "failing upwards" is more commonplace than cowboy boots at a Crawford tent-show."
Before this? He was an Assistant Attorney General - who enabled Chiquita to escape prosecution for hiring private, right-wing death squads - to suppress fair-trade practices from emerging in the banana plantations of Colombia.
"Chiquita, [company officials told Chertoff], would have to pull out of the country if it could not continue to pay the violent right-wing group to secure its Colombian banana plantations. Chertoff...affirmed that the payments were illegal but said to wait for more feedback, according to five sources familiar with the meeting...Sources close to Chiquita say that Chertoff never did get back to the company or its lawyers. Neither did Larry D. Thompson, the deputy attorney general, whom Chiquita officials sought out after Chertoff left his job for a federal judgeship in June 2003. And Chiquita kept making payments for nearly another year."
But the question is open: What are these "hyperlinks" really for, anyway? The dubious benefits delivered at the other end of clicking is seldom worth the exhilaration. I say that we should just eliminate them, altogether!
I envision a large screen - you could make it large enough to occupy a central place in the household. This could be used to deliver appropriate, scheduled media and information: remote through a wireless, one-to-many transport or stored locally on different removable media.
I think there are significant opportunities to greatly simplify the user interface of such a device, and we will eliminate the risks associated in hyperlinking.
I live in San Francisco, and work in Silicon Valley.
Some of you know what that means - reverse commute down 280. Generally that describes the traffic - "Goes to Eighty"efarious afoot..
These retrofitted Prius', with spinning turrets on top - like vertical-axis turbines - shoot along, between Mt. View and San Mateo. This happens several times a week, just off peak commute hours.
I was sure they were some bizarre expansion of street-view, and commented as much, to several friends.
I now see, this is correct. This being Google, there is something nefarious afoot... Mark my words.
Backwards. Microsoft is "owned" by the same interests that own Governments.
Microsoft introduces this as a part of an escalation for a controlled Internet. If there are side-benefits to MS? OK. If the benefit accrues to Intel? OK. The control mechanism is ultimately servicing Government. But gov power is not the top of the pyramid. Gov is a tool of an elite class, that prefer to have the masses fault government itself.
Gosh, next they'll put his profile in a group for Catholic priests. Or make a defamatory movie based on taking Facebook from a university side project to a public corporation.
Slashdot Mirror
They think: "Lucha Libre". That involves a dust-up, similar to the one Oracle is engaged in here.
Long Live Lucha Libre Office!
"Libre"?
It's Mexican. And it means "wrestlers wearing masks".
It comes from the Latin "Liber" - which means "quaff another brew".

Conflict of interest with Oracle employees. That's the laugh!
In the end, this LibreOffice is going to look like X.Org. Where's XFree86, now? :-)
They need a better name, 'tho. The Latin is nice - but really doesn't sound good or brand nicely.
I propose FreeOffice. How 'bout ThinkSuite? OurOffice? What about StarOffice ( I just found that one on the ground here. No one was using it...)
After reading the article, all I can do is wish for better luck, next time...
The name "Chertoff" is Russian. It is a family name that can be translated quite succinctly to English as "of the Devil".
Ironic distancing rhetoric, in the face of such uncompromising evil, is a form of unconscious minimising behaviour. It is the equivalent of taking a psychological anaesthetic.
Better we, the pastoralist steppe horsemen, than those pathetic, agricultural squatters in the basin.
No big surprise.

Chertoff, Chiquita and Death Squads
Now, this Mossad-tool wants to escalate the idea - absurd to those with a deep, functional knowledge of IP switched networking - of Cyber Cold War.
This is another part of the steady drumbeat to get a CCOIA type law passed - so the US gets its own "Great Firewall of China".
Chertoff DOES have a real enemy that he wants to damage in his cyberwar: the enemy is YOU.
This was North London, not Yorkshire!
HARRY TUTTLE!
People who live in glass houses... :-)
Ref: see "recursion".
That's really implicit in the premise of Dune Messiah, is it not?
We saw this at SIGGRAPH for YEARS before 2000.
I think that Be Computer had colliding patents - not to mention SGI and nVidia.
then how can there be more than one, leave alone the question of fourteen?
This reminds me of my puzzlement of "The Never Ending Story II" and III.
BTW. Does sabs mean "green"?
Let's start with email and forums, yes.

Stay off of small aircraft, Dennis.
At least he's not a Senator - like they'd let someone join that club, who tells the truth at least 20% of the time.

Yeah. You're right. What was I thinking. Thanks for setting me straight. Glad you understand the problem so well.
Now, go back to writing your next version of ZeuS.
Thanks. The reference came to me instantly. I could have worked out the exact verse, from memory, given a half-hour.
Who has that time? I googled "behaviour" "nimoy" "demento". :-)
Yes. But I can't see what it was, because Slashdot profile pages are BROKEN!

They joined Zuckerberg to NAMBLA?

Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye bye
Blackberry!
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye
Blackberry!
