There comes a point at which any educated, internet geek parent realizes that 'hardcore scat porn' is not something you really want to have any influencing factors on your kid at any time in his or her life.
In educated kapitalist Amerika, computer teaches kid to read. (really, they do, edubuntu and gCompris played a big part in teaching my son before kindergarten ever came around)
Too bad your are conveniently forgetting that REAL corporate customers want someone to sue when things go wrong. Short from some web based startup companies, not many will let a free OS with no support license or warranty get near their important data, especially when their less than technical lawyers read the terms of the GPL and say NO due to the viral nature of code linking to it (and not understanding how things can be linked with GPL code without getting sucked into the GPL).
The problems among 20 identical servers might occasionally be the same, but Murphy's law always dictates that they won't be.
I was just being a dick and returning the sarcastic trolling, didn't take time think it through, just knee jerking for fun.
You are correct on your numbers. I'm a "southern" democrat in terms of my overall political stances (socialist libertarian), not the old hat Southern Democrat (thus the "" in my original post) There was no strong republican party in the South prior to the Civil Rights Act. Afterwards, the 'racist' part of the SDems steadily moved over to the Republican party.
Am I wrong to identify myself in that frame of reference?
And by voting Republican you'd be insinuating that you don't believe in Civil Rights and equal treatment of all free citizens, democrats are responsible for that one....
(Why do you think the South flipped Republican... it was racism, kids)
The framers of the US constitution were keenly aware that in a democracy, sometimes the tyranny of the majority would threaten the few and added protections as such, but failed to build strong enough protections into it for when the tyranny from a few would threaten the majority, as we have now.
But why is that right extended to CORPORATE news org employees and not Slashdot commentors? We regularly act a proxy for the wider population in our comments, whether or not that wider population agrees with what we have to say or report (which is the same case as a news organizations' reporters and editors content).
The "dont tase me bro" guy is an exception and a straw man argument to level in this discussion, although his intent must be proven as non-news and fictional. In retrospect, his incident DID finally inspire me to read the Greg Palast book (Armed Madhouse), so perhaps even the pranksters can have a news worthy purpose.
Do/Did you work in a news org of some sort?
Logistics are not the issue, control of the news flow(not just from a propaganda angle, from a corporate value and advertising revenue viewpoint as well) is the real issue.
Its blatantly obvious that Sam Hiser, proponent of the blog post that sparked this frenzy, doesn't know jack shit about the real specs of ODF, read the comments on the blog I linked, they more than make the point (aside from the initial long-winded comment attempting to discredit anyone with enough common sense to disagree with Hiser, its a nice try but anyone with a hint of mental forethought and reasoning ability, can see right through the propaganda). Twenty minutes of actual research would've saved Hiser and the ODFoundation a lot of grief.
Additionally, if this isn't some backroom Microsoft inspired posturing, I'd be VERY surprised. The very essence of "CDF" in the way Hiser frames his argument is compatibility with MS OOXML. Who gives a rat's ass about specific compatibility within the framework of a particular document directly with another type of document, thats not the point of the whole exercise the odf format is attempting. The ODF is OPEN for any application to implement 100%, that allows for clearer communication between applications, and as a result, real living people.
Anyone that uses the word 'semantic' with 'web' should be pointed at and laughed at, then perhaps hit in the face with a brick. Keep trying, marketeers, you'll find a new way to game your hits and get another easy payday sooner or later. Nubs.
Cheers.
Maybe I'm just getting to old for this 'internets' thing.
Its either the most despicable action I've witnessed by anyone from this government in the past, oh, several weeks, OR its a really smart way to let them all know in one shot that Cheney already knows who they are and is on to them and its time to get lost in the system. Anyone that wasn't on the list may still be under the radar.
Read Greg Palast's Armed Madhouse, it will help teach you how this government works.
I can see it in the distance, considerable damage has been done to the US economy and Constitutional protections, a bad storm is on the horizon for us. I'm buying canned soup and more water filters.
Republican fiscal incompetence (as in so-incompetent-they-should-be-fucking-jailed) combined with Democrat social spending always makes for a fantastic increase in national debt (as in fake-debt-owed-to-yourself-and-you-only-get-away-with-it-because-you-print-the-fucking-money-otherwise-you'd-be-shot-in-the-face) that will totally imbalance economic equalizers and cause a recession.
You can thank software patents for making Stallman's 'conspiracy' seeming arguments come true.. BSD and public domain software are now a just another great source of 'welfare' for software development companies. Take some bsd/public domain code, slap some spaghetti code on top that makes it appear useful but really does the same thing that everyone else that touches the code will do with it, submit a patent covering said inane, obvious use of the software to the overburdened USPTO, and get your patent that covers the very function the original code provided, approved. Sue the balls out of any one that uses said BSD/public domain code that might somehow compete with you.
And yes, that does cover Microsoft's practices over the years in a loosely defined nutshell.
There was internal polling about technology direction, everyone I knew said drop the goddamn client and start development of a real ISP, AOL could've been the new media AND communications platform with internet, phone, tv, etc, etc if they had played it right from the start.
Pardon me for not being more verbose and in a hurry, they were in the process and had working but unstable versions testing in Vista before MS made the changes you refer too. Doesn't change the overall substance of my response.
Thats a common misconception, the 'killing' of the AV market was done on purpose b/c MS say another place they could 'leverage' their "IP". You can't trust anyone, most of all MS.
SAV/eTrust/McAffee/etc. with their real time scanners essentially use fancy hacks to work. Microsoft's decision to shut them out in Vista essentially forced them to find another hack for it, just like the virus writers will eventually do themselves. Its cat and mouse. Locking out security companies with the economic scale to put money into security research is a great way to assure that your OS goes down in flames.
Slashdot Mirror
What the fuck are you talking about?
I was being sarcastic and attempting humor, I'll take the hit as 'trolling', but what are you smoking? Is this an inane historical reference?
Cheers.
Basically I'd like Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul on the same ticket.
Cheers.
Rawn! Get too tha choppahhhh!

Ron Paul would do away with all essential services if he could, your not just spammers, your ignorant wannabe Libertarian tools.

You must be Swiss, I believe he was talking about AMERICAN cheese.

Yes, but probably only if they go with a national push for market share.
Additionally, they're likely going to have more money than you can ever dream of earning with your PhD in Astrophysics.

You really have to ask is that post Flamebait, or Insightful?
