And, what happens when some other country passes a law that a company that has a presence in their country, like Yahoo, can not provide any information to the U.S. Government?
Or, said country passes a law saying all companies who do business in their country must provide any information requested?
Why shouldn't it have the right to edit entries just as everyone else does? Wikipedia is not a media outlet. It isn't even a reliable source of information.
I have become tired of the nastiness and bullshit involved in IT. So much of what I liked about IT is gone, mostly do to management.
Managers and executives have been increasing work load, hours, and scut work while decreasing time off, lowering benefits, and giving out measly little raises that don't keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, they give themselves extravagant bonuses and raises.
I work with a number of H1B visa holders who do their job badly, but are kept on because they are cheaper than hiring competent American workers.
Then, there all the companies who do not hire employees, but rather hire contracting companies. The worker gets screwed as the contracting company takes anywhere from 25%-50% of the pay and there are little to no benefits to be had.
I have been considering a career change, and every day the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.
With the "istas" label being predominately associated with banana republics and murderous South and Central American groups, the bias of fyoder is obvious.
A) Installing Windows is rarely necessary because Windows comes pre-installed on almost every consumer desktop and laptop.
B) If one wants Ubuntu on a system, it must be installed on the system. One of Ubuntu's (and every other Linux distro) primary advantages is that it is free. If one has to pay a tech to install Linux, that advantage becomes a disadvantage. They can use XP or Vista, which is, in their minds, free because it came on their computer, or they can pay to have Linux installed.
C) I have seen novices successfully install Windows simply by accepting the defaults.
FTFA:
The average user will not go out of their way to google for help or even read the associated documentation that comes with Ubuntu and its default software. The average desktop user does not want to be required to use google to figure something out. User want thing to work and work easily. That was the whole point of the article, dumbass.

Hey, motherfucker, live without buying anything made in China for a month then talk to about it.
In fact, maybe you should take a look at your computer and clothes, you hear me now you shit-brained dumb-ass?

What then?

True, but I believe the item in question is talking about would be material to the case.
But, a mindless zealot is often a flaming hypocrite so the point is often moot.
I always love it when non-lawyers make comments like this.
First, you have to prove that he was knowingly lying.
Then, he would get a couple of years at most, and probably wouldn't even get that.
Yeah, why write programs that can actually take advantage of multicore processors. That is just crazy talk.
Just like BeOS was a crappy, low performance O/S.
Jeff Gould needs to grow the fuck up
No, but you are.
Why shouldn't it have the right to edit entries just as everyone else does? Wikipedia is not a media outlet. It isn't even a reliable source of information.
I wonder if their definition of "suspicious edits" is "Edits that don't reflect our view".
That seems to be their speed.

Bzzzt! Wrong answer.

Moving from XP to Vista is still much easier than moving from XP to Linux.
So, what you are saying is that if she had done something other than what she had wanted to do, she would have have been golden.
Do you realize the logic failure in your comment yet?
#3 was only half successful. She didn't use an installed tool, but rather downloaded a tool she had been previously shown by the tester.
Linux-on-the-Desktop will never be a viable reality until your analogy is not applicable.
It's already losing it's "linux-ness" by being too newbie focussed.
/sarcasm
Yeah. Who wants newbies to use Linux. Newbies have cooties!
We don't want Linux to grow into the desktop market because then it would have cooties too!
It is attitudes like your that hold back the adoption of Linux.
Usability testing of an OS one must install should start with the user installing the OS.
If she didn't install it, then the test is not complete.
Depends on the file, dumbass. Or, do you consider violating someone's rights not a crime, even when there is a law against violating those rights?
Now, please, STFU.
Yet it still fails because it makes the jump from subpoenaed information concerning possible criminal acts to "everyone".
It goes from crime, crime, crime, everyone. That logic fails.
And how many novices know that?
Ah, dumbass, I use it regularly.
Now go dig you little head out of your ass and when you grow up, you might find that there are people who know things you don't.
