I kind of, make a link with the Android's ToS.... Since it is legally for Google to ban/kill "blasphemy" applications (because you agreed to ToS), why is not valid for Pakistan to ban/kill religious "blasphemy"??? Let me remind you that Pakistan people also agreed to their religious ToS...
Yes, that's my opinion too. Anyway, my whole point is that since the petition is not a legal binding act, contrary to the voting, it sounds pretty reasonable that the voting should be made public, because it is much more binding and important than some mere petition!
I have a question then. Since the VOTE is a public action too, does this ruling means that voting signatures should be public too?
And don't get me wrong, but i really want to know who voted for who....
The day we stop to be shocked, is the day when we all become slaves to the big corporations. I am, and always will be shocked of such a evil abuse of IP, rights and monopoly, no matter who is doing it.
Do you really think that winning a Nobel Prize is so easy??? And for some very strange reason, all the people are very curious and interested in everything that some famous guy is doing, or not doing, and how is he doing, and what is he thinking, and in matter of fact everything about him/her. And if you need an example, go read some wiki about Einstein, and tell me why is that a scientist changed not only the physics, but also the fashion.
I DO see your point, i really see it, but if Google were the GOOD guys, then they should have added this "feature" as a configuration CHECK BOX, or something similar, and thus, allowing you to have the freedom to be paranoiac, or hacker, or developer, or tester, or just regular user. BUT adding this feature as part of ToS, they are forcing you to give up you freedom, something that is opposite to their karma...or at least i used to believe so.
Or with other words, freedom is a choice.TTo become a slave is a freedom only if you make this choice consciously.
If the only difference is that Kindle 1984 was paid, and the Android app was free......name me stupid, but i don's see any difference!!!! Whether it is free or paid is CUSTOMER's only issue, not company's. And the company DOES NOT HAVE the right to kill my app/document just because it is free or paid or loaned... By the way, i really don't see your point.
It is true. They are not so evil, maybe because there is only one Apple App Store, and because their approval mechanism is so restrictive that even a Nobel Prize writer would not be allowed to publish anything.
What happened with the karma: DON'T BE EVIL?
Is there anyone that still believes in the good giant Google?
Yes, their search engine is very useful, but that's all, and no, i don't have Android, and iPhone too. Thank you, but i want to have full control of my phone.
Let me remind you, that it is unlawful to espionage the regular American guy....by any one, even by foreign spies. So, if you are suggesting that it is a good think, better make it a law, or amendment more likely, and then open a discussion how bad or good is it.
I agree with your (PS). But the naked truth is that BA is usually some fresh graduated guy, without developing, design, or any other experience. So, in the real world, as my long experience as a developer shows(developer, not coder), most of the projects are becoming jokes, over-dated, over-sized and using too much resources.
Thumbs Up. This is what i recently started to realize how the BOOK business really works. And yes, the e-books are still too overpriced. They have to be under $10. Period.
Oh, and one more thing, the copyright period, when it becomes lets say 10years (or even 5 years? anyone?), then and only then we all will be free of all the behemoths and dinosaurs, and no one in his mind would ever think of stealing or ripping off the DRM.
Well said, and just to add, the funny thing is not how many hours you spend in developing, but how many are lost on "design" and "meetings" and "requirements review" and all the rest BS. It is really funny to have let say, 40h development, and 3monts BS.

Do you commit fraud by using the name "shentino"?
Yes, that's my opinion too. Anyway, my whole point is that since the petition is not a legal binding act, contrary to the voting, it sounds pretty reasonable that the voting should be made public, because it is much more binding and important than some mere petition!
You mean, in petition only the first step is missing (you don't express a desire to sign a petition, you simply sign the petition).
I have a question then. Since the VOTE is a public action too, does this ruling means that voting signatures should be public too? And don't get me wrong, but i really want to know who voted for who....

And i still have only 3 mega bits per seconds..........
Yes, here i agree with you, but nonetheless,it is still unlawful.

Steven Harper, beware, the GOD is watching you, 1 billion CAD is a way too much for G8/G20... And we, the regular people are going to pay the bill.

Please, tell me which amendment, or at least stature is using your words "for good and bad use of technology"???
Exactly my point. Is there anyone naive enough to trust them? Do you know that in France it is forbidden to encrypt your mails? Mails, not e-mail.....
Let me say it this way: Since when the regular guy is considered a terrorist, lol.
Since when the espionage is a GOOD thing!!!!! And please, don't tell me: Bond, James Bond.
