America is brain locked by corporations, they will be slaves forever or until the entire system crashes to the ground and they are fighting in the streets for a crust for bread.
IMHO, most of that brainwashing (the corporatism and jingoism) emanates from two places: Talk radio and Hollywood (two very corporate, Wall-St. linked enterprises). Hollywood isn't just a source of distraction anymore and even their 'nicest' shows are saturated with odious consumerism and anti-democratic assumptions.
The corporate jingoist crook mentality isn't just a feature of the USA, its the MO throughout the English speaking world now and Hollywood's appeal has been significant factor in that development. They are the propaganda mill to end all others.
Now explain to me again how this makes the US the "good guys" again.
A: The western world loves to watch Hollywood shows, and in those shows the USA are assumed to be the good guys about 98% of the time, and foreigners (esp. Russians and Chinese) are only portrayed as good if they are trying to become Americans or to help the govt of some English-speaking country (like the USA, Canada, UK or Australia) or Israel.
They're garbage because they often don't work. HP was one of the pioneers of restore partitions... go ahead and Google 'HP restore partition' and behold the hundreds of people who are left with no recourse but to order (yes) optical disks from HP for a fee.
Restore partitions are also a target for malware, and that's on top of everything else that can render them non-functional.
Or maybe "deep VPS inspection" will be the next new thing after deep packet inspection. Also, don't underestimate Washington's ability to get foreign countries to do this snooping for them.
Peerblock was a stopgap that only seemed to work while ISPs weren't also content providers. Now that they are, they're gonna turn the Internet into an IP police state where everything is hyper-scrutinized and mere 'complaints' can be used to make your neighbors suffer greatly.
The only way around them is to use secure proxies (either for-pay ones that access the regular Internet, or the anonymized kind as referenced by my tagline).
Her 'innocent men' were industrialists and I'd say right now that they are the ones who are giving freedom a bad name, freely colluding against individual liberty and privacy.
...Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
What do these seven countries have in common? In the context of banking, one that sticks out is that none of them is listed among the 56 member banks of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). That evidently puts them outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankers' central bank in Switzerland.
The most renegade of the lot could be Libya and Iraq, the two that have actually been attacked. Kenneth Schortgen Jr, writing on Examiner.com, noted that "[s]ix months before the US moved into Iraq to take down Saddam Hussein, the oil nation had made the move to accept euros instead of dollars for oil, and this became a threat to the global dominance of the dollar as the reserve currency, and its dominion as the petrodollar."
According to a Russian article titled "Bombing of Libya - Punishment for Ghaddafi for His Attempt to Refuse US Dollar", Gaddafi made a similarly bold move: he initiated a movement to refuse the dollar and the euro, and called on Arab and African nations to use a new currency instead, the gold dinar. Gaddafi suggested establishing a united African continent, with its 200 million people using this single currency.
It has the all the main personal computing features we associate with pre-Macintosh/Lisa systems, like a keyboard, CRT, local storage and user programmability. It probably predates the systems you sold by a year or two.
I've been using it for over a year and it works very well. It has email, web sites, bittorrent, and emule among other things (they are working on bitcoin too). Your public key is the same as your address, and routing is highly decentralized (everyone internally routes for the network by default) so even blocking people by IP or their key address is not really possible.
The government (including the military) mainly exists to do the bidding of wealthy corporate interests, and those corporations habitually portray China as 'bad guys' within their media.
Not coincidentally the governments and media from all major and emerging powers from Brazil to China now routinely portray the US as a plutocracy, with the government as a junior partner to Wall Street.
The distinction as to whether the US govt or a US corp made an anti-China video game hardly matters.
Oh dear, all I had to do was list 4 major features that Windows and OS X both benefit from, and some Slashdotter w/mod points gets a bug up his buttocks.
Does Gnome becoming Linux-only provide:
1)...an SDK and IDE designed to make it easy to get started with coding on the so-called platform?
2)...a tool, integrated with the above, to create single package files that can install even a complex application onto any 'Linux' released within the last file years?
3)...a GUI that contractually forbids major changes by the distributor, to provide a consistent and recognizable UI?
4)...a quick and effortless way to determine if a piece of hardware is fully supported?
Let's see, No, No, No and No? OK then, 'Desktop Linux' will continue on its current path.

But many don't think beyond their own personal interest. And that is what the business lore of this country says we're supposed to do.
I mean, that would destroy SO many companies right this week.
Not in actuality. The courts and attorneys general will target individuals, proprietorships, co-ops, unions and 'troublemaker' NGOs over the odd news clipping, HTML links, or audio/video clip. But as usual they will avoid doing this to large corporations unless Congress wants to initiate an ideologically-motivated attack (the kind of ideology that says you play by the rules of Wall Street banks and the empire that advances their interests).
...of the walled/policed garden. Tor is only a half-measure that creates the expectation of accessing 'normal' sites in their block-able form. People should look more to I2P and similar networks if they want to circumvent the ISPs self-interested control.

Next question...
They're garbage because they often don't work. HP was one of the pioneers of restore partitions... go ahead and Google 'HP restore partition' and behold the hundreds of people who are left with no recourse but to order (yes) optical disks from HP for a fee.
Restore partitions are also a target for malware, and that's on top of everything else that can render them non-functional.
one of the first apps for it was i2psnark, a built-in bittorrent client.
So, far from being replaced, bittorrent seems to be moving and thriving in at least one vehicle that can skirt ISP obstruction.
...and stay that way until 5.0?

Keeping that much money in one uninsured account, on one system, on WINDOWS! is sheer stupidity and he deserves to be ripped off.
