Since ancient times business has always had the upper hand. The Clintons are business people first and foremost. The government is just one tool in the box
As it should for wasting the court's time. Google should be careful. They can easily be replaced. There are lots of people ready and willing to fill their shoes. They don't have the kind of clout that the banks have to rob people blind and get bailed out every few years.
There are many in the government whose goal is to expand the number of people using their services, so they can justify increases in their budgets & staff.
That is but a small part of the big picture. The voters allow business to decide who gets on the ballot when they vote for the ones with the biggest campaign fundage, then whine about lack of choices. The government exists to serve, but people, in their tribal "wisdom" choose to remain ignorant as to who it serves.
I don't understand why techies have never figured out that government and business have similar goals.
Much less that government and business are the same thing, with the business sector making the rules and government as the enforcers. But as long as the voters under learned helplessness allow it to continue, not much can be done.
The best "designed" speed bump is a simple pothole. They're very easy to find. The other solution is to just not pave the road. It will be like a washboard after a little rain.
You're talking about foreign agents using a network to spread propaganda for anti-US purposes
No, you are.
Free speech is free speech, and everybody has the right. The US is the only country on the planet that happens to have it codified into law without any qualifications. All others are mere posers.
Finally! Thank you! As far as extensions go, we'll just have wait and see. If something actually better comes along we probably should jump on it. In the meantime we have what works and needn't complain about lack of options.
Well, that sure went downhill fast! I never thought I would complain about people going so badly offtopic, but hey, whaddya gonna do? Just so everybody knows, Netscape is alive and well. I'm still using it
Why would that be modded down? Free speech is precisely the issue. If one doesn't like what's being said, they can tune out. Nobody is being forced to listen or believe. It really is that simple.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, and? Sounds to me you are confirming my point.
"Leaks" about Apple products are just hyped up press releases.

Serving business is in its self interest. They don't bite the hand that feeds.

The government does have a role, because they can and do regulate entities like financial institutions.
You're wagging the dog. Financial institutions regulate the government.
I'm carbon... Resist!
You sure?
Stop and think for a second. This isn't "incompetence".
HAND indeed!

the sun doesn't set, the horizon rises.
No, the earth rotates. How's that for pedantic?
However, it is most certainly not intelligent.
That's okay, neither a lot of drivers
Very funny... Maybe tire spikes would be the better option. :-)

I'll have a serious guess and say SeaMonkey?

:-) Not even close. You get one more shot...
I'm sure they could post a rebuttal...
Yes, that is the only appropriate response to "propaganda". Anything beyond that is excessive.

MS's free IE not only destroyed Netscape...
The hell you say!
The desktop is the new terminal, with autocomplete?
