How is this Insightful? At best it's cliche. Bashing corporations isn't even trying anymore. Besides, how is SF supposed to stay in business at all without selling some kind of product?
Translation: "Dear Slashdot, the last RF engineer we kidnapped and enslaved has unfortunately died, can you please suggest a commercial and less bleedy replacement for our darknet?"
The nice thing about this is that short of invading, there's no way to pressure the Swiss to do anything that they don't want to do. They produce their own energy, they make a crapload of money, and every adult male owns an assault rifle (security of a free state, keep and bear arms, etc. etc.). They can afford to give the NSA the finger.
And why is a regressive tax bad? People love to complain about regressive taxes, but the argument why they're bad always falls back to "because its bad!". I find that opponents of regressive taxes always prefer progressive taxes, as if that's somehow better. Why?

No kidding. Large enterprises are built from cobbled together scripts and databases.
You can divide a sandwich among many, but you cannot digest it in a collective stomach. The purpose of a patent is not to add value to society.
You fail by signing your post. It doesn't make your message any more serious/believable/valid, it just makes you look like a douche.
Because they do not separate code and data.
Microsoft and zero-day attacks go together like .... 2 things that go together really well.

India->China->Africa
I'd learn French if I were you. And learn to like sunscreen.
what is it, LOT-13?
You're IO bound. Get a real disk subsystem.
They tried this with FarkTV. People read faster than you can talk, and not everyone has free bandwidth and necessary codecs. Stop sucking.
Mod parent up. GP is an asshat.

Cue sad trombone sound for people who are outraged that MS would take Skype and change it.
We can only hope.
Meanwhile, why aren't they building a railway or conveyor system? Trucks are expensive to run, even robot trucks.
Like how hipsters and douches say Hawaii with some weird click sound in it - its Halloween, not H'alloween or whatever. Christ.
It would be awesome if one or all of them declined on principle.
Brian Lumley wrote about something very similar. Except the worms were vampires.
Why should a codec be free? Or when you say "in a perfect world" do you really mean "I want it, therefore its wrong if I dont have it" ?
And Taiwan doesn't.
Why would the US Treasury fund any power plants, anywhere? No wonder the US government and budget is in such a mess. WTF are these people doing?
If you think the US is "laissez-faire anarcho-libertarian" you're stupider than you are a troll.
That will require a government solution.
Why?
