What part of the term "HyperTEXT" did the working group fail to understand?
Really, outside of snooping/privacy discoveries, this is the SINGLE WORST piece of news I have seen in 15 + years on Slashdot. We could see this coming with the push for DRM in the HTTP spec. Here we watch the other shoe drop.
"They" don't like this web. They are entrenched media and information companies, and the elite financial and political powers that rely on framing/controlling public information - while collecting rents for doing so.
You think that your issues with security and control of your own platform are bad now? Wait til your browser is rejected by sites you need to do business with - because you won't parse HTML/HTTP 2.0. Linking this with crap like Intel TPM/TXT and you are well into Orwell Telescreen territory.
"Optional"? Five years from now, we'll all see if you can get your driver's license, pay your phone bill or shop at Amazon without this one...
I think you are right. But the "plan" is not an intellectual construction, and includes evolution, chaotic interaction, and your own striving...
God isn't a "super human" - but entirely other. Outside time and space, as we can comprehend such things, therefore without "thought" which occurs in the context of the known, of unknowns and of memory. Without anticipation and without a transition of state, God is a category beyond what can be described as a mind or even a being.
Come up with something better, that is embedded in hardware - like Intel has with vPro AMT - and then TRUST it is not abused to manage the computer against your own privacy interest, security, etc.
Intel has probably built the hardware primitives for the biggest NSA back-door into every Core i7. Now that they own McAfee, you will see them try and execute on the software part of the equation. They'll sell this to "enterprise" as data security measures.
The backdoor potential for abuse here is HUGE. Look at the 99% of exploitable Android phones that were just exposed with the vulnerable APK, last week.
Prey is great. It is more effective than "Find My Mac" and runs on may platforms, including most Linuces.:-) Android, MacOS and iOS - besides teh usual vanilla from Redmond.
That's a different story. We encourage you to add a BIOS password and disable booting from removable devices on your PC, so that the thief will be forced to boot into the previous installation and thus, not be able to format your hard disk easily.
If you have a Mac, there's a firmware password utility on your Tiger/Leopard Mac OS installation DVD (look for it in in Applications/Utilities). On OSX Lion you'll find the utility by booting from the recovery partition.
Just enough to threaten the seats of power, and scare their tits off. The entire campus at UC Irvine was designed and built for rapid deployment of troops, to any point, in the wake of that era.
Iroquois, Apache, etc. What? Don't count? That was in our formative phase - just as Mao and Stalin were doing in theirs.
Don't get me started on the number of Africans and descendants murdered in transit and institutionalized work camps for multiple successive generations. We'll soon make Bergen Belsen look marginal by means of comparison.
Remember, the history taught in our schools is as biased, near-sighted and self-serving as the history taught in theirs.
Oh God I am the American dream With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream And I'll do anything to get ahead I lay awake nights sayin', thank you, Fred! Oh god, oh god, I'm so fantastic! Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic Oh God I am the American dream And my name is Bobby Brown Watch me now, I'm goin' down
And when you send the brown folks to jail, they don't vote.
Then - by making 1 in 10 of them ineligible at anytime and demoralize the others - you eliminate the threat of a progressive force in the electorate, which appeared on the threshold of revolution, 35 years ago.
The illusion of a representative republic is maintained by such soft suppression.
A'int no "home of the free". The US has more people incarcerated - per capita and in raw number - than any nation on Earth, or even in all of human history!
While accounting for a mere 5% of the global population, the US has an aggregated 25% of the world's prisoners, and is growing this at a consistent, exponential rate.
You have states, like Louisiana, where one out of every 55 people in the state is a prisoner for the duration of a year or more.
We make China look like amateur hour. Stalin? a blip.
Now. How can anyone argue that there's no such thing as "brainwashing", or that it only works on stupid or ignorant people?
Security is sometimes at risk, on particular sites.
I will selectively turn off JS for some hosts, based on my evaluation of reputation.
I acknowledge that I may be the exception, and that the risk is generally elsewhere. More often, people have vulnerable, Turing-complete plugins, which both provide the content-incentive (bait) and means (trap) to exploit a visitor.

Hark! Do I hear the approach of the Freedom Drone?
Stop launching Hellfires on babies, and stop treating the Citizens of your Republic like suspects in your dragnet.
With laptops? That, and removing a MacBook/UltraBook type drive are well-beyond most "smash and grab" thieves.
Hell. Go and change the drive in an early 2007 MacBook. I can do it. You can do it. My brother, Frank, couldn't.

You never know....
Prayer should be effective and properly employed when petitioning for a change in ourselves, rather than in material circumstance or disposition. ;-)

From the FAQ:
1968.
It didn't have to be actually possible.
Just enough to threaten the seats of power, and scare their tits off. The entire campus at UC Irvine was designed and built for rapid deployment of troops, to any point, in the wake of that era.
Were you even alive then?
No.
It's how the minority vote is suppressed with an obfuscated (ab)use of power.
Tom Sellout.
Well, I hope you did good for yourself. That was an Open Source XBMC fork, and a lot of folks worked on Open Source Boxee, too.
Voting laws vary from state to state. Generally, felons cannot vote.
In many states, the right is permanently revoked for felons, even after release and end of probation.
HOW can you COMPROMISE an APK file?
It USES HOSTS file!

This is the THIRD story today, where commenting with the following quote appears both appropriate and relevant to topic:
"The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth
and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought"
-- George Orwell, 1984

Clapper is still lying.
He says "erroneous" when it is evident the correct term is "mendacious" or "duplicitous".
Who thinks they will ever get close to a real answer, when questioning spies and their masters?
This guy is in charge of the Ministry of Lies. Testimony means nothing to him.
Interesting. I need to get a copy, and plumb the depths of about:config .
Now this furore is a little silly.
Hey! Word to the wise: about:config I doubt the feature is actually removed...
I assume that this is a UI change and that Mozilla is removing a button, that caused a greater cost to support, than justify with benefit.
Really, the advanced web user, who is judicious about enabling script, can opt for a plugin, if they want a button.

Adobe! You have the top 2 contenders!
Yes. We risk "walling off" Sony, Disney and the rest...
Wow. A web the way I liked it, before big-media and commercial presence sought to replicate the AOL experience. :-)
In fact, that's a great way to describe this: If you accept DRM in HTML, you risk the AOLization of the web.
