  1. Re:The "good old days".. on Beware the Internet · · Score: 1

    All that progress and yet people seem to be about as uninformed as ever. In some cases they are worse off since the opinions of charlatans and cranks are more available than ever. We'll leave the tendency of people to avoid unpleasant facts for another time.

    :-) Yes, we've noticed...

    Ha! You have it so wrong. When I 'research' a topic, I go to the bar and place some bets. The damn internet destroyed that business.

    And if it takes minutes for your answers to show up on Google or Wikipedia, then you should complain to your service provider about latency issues.

    Dude, you are nuts. The entirety of man's economy is literally under a gun. It doesn't matter whose it is.

    Business is the government. Business writes the rules and governments use violence and brutal force, murder and various 'legal' means to enforce those rules. And with business controlling our money, we are subject to hundreds of trillions of dollars of fraud and extreme poverty. Yes, government is a problem, when it is corrupted by prurient business interests.. And let's not mince meat, state run capitalism of the old communist regimes was a business.

    Yeah, and with this somebody's gonna need one. Can anyone say 'pump and dump'?

    How would you suggest these people be punished?

    Chain gang... Oh, seriously? Loss of their position and benefits and forfeiture of other assets and income would be sufficient. Maybe the word 'thief' tattooed on their forehead... I'd rather make them face the stares and curses of the people they betray.

    The real problem here is not the companies, it's the government.

    Oh please, the companies write the rules for the government to enforce. The problem here is us. We let them do it. And only dangerous people should be in prison.

    In the cloud, or any other computer network, you have no privacy. What is there to explain, other than you voted for this?

    The paperwork is merely a ceremonial formality.

    There, now we don't have to keep on posting about our world under surveillance every day. Let's post better news on how people are defeating it, if there is any to be found.

  13. Re:Yay.. more bloat ! on Google Adds Microsoft Word, Excel Editing To Latest Chrome OS Build · · Score: 1

    But if the Chrome browser gets padded out with a WP/spreadsheet package, it's very unlikely that I'll ever use it again.

    If you open it in a new window, you can pretend they are separate products.

    It's kinda hard to trash-talk the other team during a sales cycle if officially the captains of the two teams are best buddies.

    Oh no. Lawyers and politicians do this all the time. All fodder for the tabloid press to gobble up and distract us from the dirty deals.

    Boy, does that sound like 'reputation management', or what? Right now Wall Street is extorting 45 billion (with a B) a month out of us, the taxpayers, and threatening to shut the whole thing down if the flow, I believe the phrase is, 'tapers off'. The 'financial markets' need to lose their privileged status of 'too big to stop'.
