Canals, bridges, roads, standards, libraries... are built by Governments, in the USA by the will, funds, and demands of the people. Special-Interest-Entitlements [AKA: corporate/religious/plutocrat/aristocrat... "Institutional Entitlements"] has always been around, but in the last four decades Institutional Entitlements have literally co-opted USA Democracy by all The People with exploitation for very few of the people. We The People pay for infrastructure, entitlements , and Damn Hubris People exploit US like all domestic and foreign enemy.
If we are not better off than we were, and corporate/religious... institutions always say they will make everything better (including education ), then why do we believe the lies/promises and never judge the failures and exploitation?
The USSC today defines corporations / institutions as an equal (proxy vote buying) citizen, endowed with inalienable USA Constitutional rights. This agrees with the USA Congress election-district gerrymandering, mandated corporate tax-welfare entitlements, law enforcement and prosecution (RIAA...) by civil a/o criminal courts, corporate and religious tyranny of economic initiatives and life-quality innovation. IMO: The USSC will award in favor of the corporations / institutions that for decades now fyck US, EU, and others. US as One has degenerated in to US as racing to the last.
I feel sure the European Commission and USA FCC/FTC... know Google's Android is a Linux distribution with community services and support.
I feel sure Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle and others continue to not innovate and compete with Open Source Software business models and companies.
There could be a Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle or other Mobile...Intel... Linux distribution, but (IMO) anti-capitalist and closed-market icons like Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle spend their time and money on lobbying governments and writing laws for passage by corrupt/stupid/treasonous politicians to maintain market share/control.
When one of US/EU is fycked, so are we all serviced in like mode! Bring back democratic capitalist meritocracies, hang a C*O or politician.
India and China can solve the world's tech skills crisis with more bodies for Silicon Valley and US, EU... CEOs. More work-visas and illegal-residents will always solve the skills problems for chicken processing, grape picking, software developing, engineering design, corporate welfare, political elections . Visas and illegal’s have solved labor crisis’s for decades now. Why not continue ?
By importing labor, we can save on education, healthcare, first responders, housing loans and provide communities for the newest and youngest amoral entrepreneurs in the drug, sex, larceny sectors of the US and EU underground economy. Religious conservative scientist would say “it’s all relativity, gods’ will.”
The more things sound the same: In the 1700s the peasants could not survive without fealty to an aristocracy. In the 1800s the small dirt farmers’ survival ended the big plantation farms. In the 1900s the small businesses could not compete with national Corporations. In the 2000s the citizens must serve the whim/will of Corporation Welfare states. The less things appear changed for US, EU, RU, CN, IN .
Make'em sound different, and folks will think they got some difference.
Japan, Philippians, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and all other local Island Nations fall in Chinese territorial waters; Therefor, they are part of China. Also, China's Pacific economic zone includes Midway and the Hawaii Islands; Hence, China can fish-out those waters to feed China. Who pwns UBaby? CHINA!
Any attempts by Japan or others to mine rare earth metals in the China Sea [AKA: South Pacific] or the Pacific China economic expansion zone will be removed forcefully from the Pacific.
Have a very nice China Communist new year on April 1, and remember the China Sea is most all the Pacific.
MS and Intel are not the solution and one or both will have market-share problems.
Lean & means lead the way, because big, old, and fat is mired in the past.
MS & Intel (IMO) delude (as IBM, SCO...) the market into seeing "Reality" leaders. Economic actuality is always the domain of the customer, buyer, and corporate welfare laws.
RU is late to the game, 'mass distribution of messages in social networks with a view to the formation of public opinion.'
Sometimes I suspect MS, other businesses/lobbyist, mega-churches, and PACs, are already acting like government G2Agencies on/., Facebook, Twitter, Wired... with automated SocialPolicyAgents (SPAgents).
So, why argue with GIGO SPAgents? SPAgents work in the best interest of a few of the $public$.
Then we can legally mandate, better babies or no babies. If we can get there, then we just make sure what babies are better and what babies rule US. DAMN! This may have happened over two hundred years ago with a selective breeding project for the leading political families of US. IMO: It would explain Bush, but not Reagan, maybe Reagan worked for our Gang of Four (King of Hearts Chaney, Dummy Don Rumsfield, Pontious Pilot Bush, and Coffee Candy Rice) and Animals Control Officer Rove.
China will do it to US we must be christian jingoist, and competitive. We are #1, so we can piss on all.
PKI+BioToken would be nice. I would pay for a one-time vetting process and bio-token+reader at home for me and family.
I would let my bio-token be scanned by Biz-readers, voting..., but I would want strong per-session time-place encryption for all personal/purpose/transaction/bio... information, certificates validated-exchange signatures, and a 90 day transaction/billing-cycle with self-destruct of all information.
Under Linux, I think you can do a PKI pseudo-token and reader for all your passwords (login, admin, websites, banking, trading.... Pseudo-token would not be registered with a PKI certificate authority/server.
Nature has been patented... by the gods and all that is truly holy in the whole gaul-dang universe.
Business is business. A bad/failed business model using patent trolling with the gods, or relying on patents being applicable to nature, the obvious, theoretical math and science for profit/income/tax/fees.... Fools not patents put themselves out of business, TFB4U.
Business should only be able to patent products derived from applied math and science. Patents should be, limited to 10 years, always "Open" for public and private use, modification, innovation, distribution...; However, within the initial 10 (maybe 5) years any personally derived/added value (benefits/profit/income...) should be distributed among contributors by binding arbitration, and not taxed as personal or corporate income while obtained during the time-cap of the patent. Well, IMO, it sounds fair to US, EU....
Political Castration of US is the baseline requirement for a nazi-republic or banana-republic north of the Río Bravo del Norte.
Federal Union of Christian Kindness (FUCK) US will be a great republic of faux-christians, patriot-chickens, and pseudo-capitalist that excel at flag-waving, dogma-thumping, book-burning for the plutocrat-elites and their mindless neut-gestapo serial killers.
I have purchased JimmyH, JanisJ, ZZTop, CCR... albums from Vinyl to 8Track to Cassette to CD to MP3 to.... I would like stream-devices to have an 8,16, or 24 hour buffer for traveling in areas of poor coverage and/or avoiding roaming charges [I would buy that device, Fyck the RIAA].
Stream@60+, Why? Republicans will cut my SocSec, then will give big tax-cuts that add taxes with increased deduction percentages for health care and everything else. I do not expect to have enough money in retirement too buy a new music media for new audio electronics. Go with the stream (good) Luke, let go of the Media (Bad). Pay for the streams, avoid the corporate enforcer agents and laws of the evil empire.
Email has a human form factor appropriate for non-audio human communication.
Email is a direct decedent of chipped-stone and clay-tablets. Humans' need a language (audio, visual...), and society needs records and documents.
IOW: Written email (stone, clay, paper...) will continue to evolve, until societies crumble and humans go extinct.
What is the next step in societies creating records and documents for transmission (print-share-keep mail, telegraph, email...)? Maybe we will call it eGraph or ether-image, but the basic human purpose/need will be continued.
Is this a new corporate-welfare bribery that is legal only in the USA?
I thought bribery, in any form, is still bribery even in the USA. I got fooled again?
Give'em diamonds, dollars, euros, gold, give'em a deal they can't refuse M$-products. I would never take the M$ bribe/deal, but... business is business and well above the law in the USA.
A blatant anonymous "M$B$ Marketing" reader on/. writes "In Friday's story about IBM's ban on Cloud storage there was much agreement..."
Then a giggle of M$B$ marketeers reply with the add campaign lies. Wow, WTF has happened to/.'s community reputation/credibility.
Rob..., this classic marketing misdirect make/. looked pwned by M$; Really, you need to get a M$B$ marketeers filter. The question/info looks legit, when it starts, then the M$B$ marketeers/.mob drivel takes over to create the M$B$ Add-Campaign. This is happening far to often on/. and is becoming a significant embarrassment to me and I suspect an insult to the larger global/. community.
Maybe make a filter (M$B$ supplants the original topic [way-off-post]) that allows folks like me to filter out the M$B$ marketeer-campaigns.
From PKI (Phil Zimmerman) to the present citizens, we lose to organized crime sustained by Congress, corporate-welfare laws, corporate-enforcers, Cleric-truths, and plutocrat courts.
This ain't the USA, of our founding parents, that I grew up in. Republicans, Libertarians, Religious Inquisition Party (RIP) and other non-thinking dogma-hogs have made it clear that "America belongs to them," not US.
Should corporations be provided with congressional laws that eliminates due process and/or require corporations enforce punitive measures on US Citizens. Get corporate-government/enforcers out of personal lives. Government/Congress should be prosecuting the organized crime, not the user, addict, consumer, private citizen for organized crime activities.
Corporate-government and plutocrat-welfare IMO supports the organized crime underground economy created by these laws that look important, but only force criminalizing and penalizing US Citizens. Easy image, no political cost BS-Laws and regulations.
Government and Industry need to turn their weapons of mass punitive and criminalizing effect away from US, and towards specific impact targets (organized crime).
Also, any organized crime underground economy can be disrupted (maybe destroyed) by Governments passing good targeted laws (i.e. repeal of prohibition...).
Dogma-hog Republican, Libertarian, Religious Inquisition Party (RIP)... logic will never consider justice and fairness as acceptable for US; Though, they will PAC expensively mass-market it as just and fair for US, not them.
