  1. Re:No community alternative on Mozilla Says Ad on Firefox's New Tab Page Was Just Another Experiment (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Less cruft to update. The package does all those things, and it's still a smaller download than Firefox. And, it doesn't look like Chrome

    Unfortunately it seems that browser development is too resource intensive for a community-driven solution to be feasible.

    You're kidding, right?

    Ah, but you can't stop there. You gotta go after anybody who buys their products from them directly, or anybody in their stock portfolio, or pays taxes to a government that protects their copyrights and patents and international trade agreements. Yes, that means you!

    You know, knocking out propaganda outlets and all, but this is another reason not to have monopolies. A single virus with a short list of targets will burn down the whole house.

    The solution to long lines at the DMV is not "more clerks". It is to move most of the services to a website so there is less need to go to the DMV in the first place.

    Yes, with internet services provided by CenturyLink!

    Please, the internet still isn't ready for anything more serious than Twitter gossip.

    That might be true, after your ISP decides to snip the cable/fiber..

  19. Unless it looks good on the spreadsheet, that kind of stuff just isn't going to happen. Their purpose is singular.

  20. There is exactly one single point of failure in the entire internet, the service provider, gotta get around them...

  21. Anybody can put up their own website and content on their own server

    *Ahem* Check your service contract first. And you better hope your content doesn't offend your service provider, or the state either. See, our real problem is our dependence on these services that are really agents of the state.

    Change takes time.

    Yeah, so it does... That doesn't lessen the voters' responsibility for the people they reelect. This is on their shoulders. Any complaints from the outside (tourists) or the inside (locals) should be directed at them. Nobody forces them to vote for bling.
