Have you ever worked for a corporation? They are no different from any other group of people working together for a common cause. You may not agree with the cause, but that does not change the fact.
Corporations are not entities, they do not live, there is not one living organism that you can identify as a corporation. Therefore a corporation cannot make decisions.
People are entities, they do live and make decisions. Any action of a group is only a result of the individuals in the group. Be it a collective, a commune, a family or a corporation. If the members of the corporation decide to make bad decisions, that this the fault of the members.
If, as you say, all the high functioning sociapaths gravitate to corporations, is that the fault of the corporation, or is it the fault of the society that breeds the sociopath?
Often times intent is lost when posting. The original post struck me as one that cries about pollution but still continues to use the products. Very much a NIMBY attitude, but they have no problem with someone else's yard. That may not be what was intended, but that is the way it sounds.
I am all for responsibility in companies and individuals. However, I am not for causes, movements, etc. Most of these are composed of mindless sheep who oppose anything that they think harms the cute cuddliness of the moment.
Find a clean responsible way to extract resources and present the product to the market in a fair manner where profit can be made, reinvestment can occur and innovation can happen.
Captain Planet did a huge disservice to a generation. Too many people see companies and corporations as evil for no other reason than they fact that they are companies or corporations. Some are good, some are bad, but that can be said of anything. Judge the company or corporation by their actions, just as you should with people.
The original poster did not present options, only a sarcastic statement. Which prompted my reply. Apparently, you are either stupid or dishonest for missing the third option of sarcasm.
Your statement leads me to believe that your are OK with radioactive waste water releases as long as they are not in America. Since you do not seem to indicate that you are against the uses of rare earth.
secure data within their network. Every solution he proposed uses and outside resource. Move away from storing all data? Use outside authentication? One time accounts? (this one really got me)
Are they that bad at the basics of security? Someone please tell me this is not the norm.
The article says that Amazon can scale rapidly and quickly, but the title of the post led me to believe we would learn how they do this. I was expecting more...
It would be great to learn what technology is used to accomplish this rapid scale, as well as what network components support this.
You have to remember the plot of the last movie. The price for being immortal was you had to stay inside the seals at the door of the chamber. Since he left the Chamber of the Grail, the immortality is no longer in effect.
Thats because 99.9999% of the people here are GEEKS!!! you moron. Most of us grew up with these books, love them, remember them fondly as the first great reading experience, so yes, it is news to us. Slashdot is not a clone of the CNN crowd, and leave that kind of stuff to them.
Idoits, children, and idiot children will be the death of me yet.....
Ok, let me begin by saying, I enjoyed the movie for what it is, entertainment. That said, there are some glaring changes that I have to ask about...
In Matrix I, after Morpheus set Neo free, there is a scene where they are removing all the plugs, etc. Suddenly, they all have the plugs back. I have to wonder if this is hint that they are actually back in the power plant, but do not know it...
The second question is this...
In Matrix II, the scene were they return to Zion, the contoller for the gate is shown in 2 ways, one, on board a ship, or something like a ship, all plugged in to the Matrix, and then shown in the Matrix, operating the controls for the gate. I understood from Matrix I that they needed to be up close to the surface to enter the Matrix. This leads me to think again that they are all back in the power plant, including all of Zion....
As much as I like Linux/UNIX, there has been nothing new out of either for years, all Linux has done is say "here is another OS, and it's just like Windows, without the crashes". Great, but that is not innovation. As long as Linux is trying to be compatible with Windows/Office, they are playing catch up.
Microsoft, as much as we may dislike them, are in front, and running with the ball. They are setting the expectations of the customers. This is not good for Linux, if it hopes to gain market share in the desktop OS market, or server market. I attended a roll-out seminar for Windows Server 2003, and they are pulling some really neat tricks out of the bag, like "Secure out of the Box", extended CLI, and integrated Share Point Portal into the server.
If MS is ever taken down, it will be by something so new that comparisons between the 2 will be like comparing apples and burritos
The obvious answer is pick your friends carefully.
To expect privacy in an email is at best naive, and at worst stupid. You are transmitted the data containing the mail over "public" property. Just because you do not know how it works does not mean you should not be aware of it, particularly considering all of the logging that the Federal Gov't is requiring or implementing since 9/11.
That said, I am not convinced that this case is one of privacy violation or a very clever way of building a reporter's reputation. I personally have never heard of this person, but you can bet that at the end of all this, her name will be known to just about every person with an Internet connection. What's next, CNN, MSNBC?
Think about it. How many new domain registration sites have popped up over the last year or two? For 7.95, you can have your own domain.
What does this lead to? Millions of people doing searches on Go-Daddy, Verisign, etc for their vanity domain name.....
And then, there is the spam email about owning your own domain, and spam about increasing traffic to your site, and spam about blocking spam to your site, etc....
I really hope my tax dollars did not pay this guy. Traffic on the root name servers is way down on my priority list, right under voluntary castration.....
This seems like huge assumption on the part of these companies. I guess this means that if everyone in the country decided to cook hamburgers and fries at home, and McD's or some other burger chains sales dropped, then we are guilty of theft.
I have never copied a music CD in my life. I refused to play the inflated prices that they charge. I can get the same product on tape for half the price, so why would I want to pay more?
The music industry as a whole is going to whine itself right out of business, and then maybe we will get some quality music to listen to.
I can remember the first time I played it, and noticed the shadow of the ship on the base below, awesome! I still think of it as the first 3D game. I would really hate to know how much money I pumped into that stupid box.....
Anybody know where a copy of the game is, I think I have a few quarters left in my pocket....
linux has everything a normal person wants Really? Then why is it that M$ still has 90% market share. "normal" people want flash, photoshop, quicken, etc.... all the things that make using a PC easy for them. Show me one user who likes linux, by user I mean the average everyday user that we support. They are few and far between. A typical user would not be able to install the first piece of software on a Linux system, let alone setup a dialer to connect to the Internet. Users want all the eye candy they get with Windows, and like it or not, they are the ones that determine where the business is going.
Face the facts, Windows is top because it is user friendly, which is also why it has the most security problems, but that's another topic. Linux is a great OS, stable, secure, until recently virus free, but it is not user friendly.
I can remember the days when you had to use a TV for a PC, ie Commodore, Adam, etc... and all I wanted was to get a monitor. Now, all people want to do is run their PC on their TV.
I wish you would make up my mind.
Seriously, what is the purpose of modding and Xbox, other than to prove it can be done. Seems to me that all of this talent could be better put to use developing a viable alternative to MS. Sorry folks, Linux ain't it. Not enough programs, support is non-existant for the average (l)user. Don't get me wrong, I like Linux, and use it for my servers, but as a desktop or workstation it just does not cut it. Along with the things listed above, there is just not enough software out there for Linux to allow me to be productive, and that's the key. How many of the die-hard linux people on this site are dual booting so they can play the latest game on the PC?
What is needed is something so far ahead of what we have now that it can overcome the lack of software long enough to get a hold on the market. Linux still looks like Windows. I am thinking something like a VR style OS, like the really cool one in Johnny Pnuemonic....

Or we could just ask the SuperComputer to use the rats to determine the meaning of life, the universe and everything...

Well I guess we can agree on something...
It was not intended as a defense, merely an explanation of the reason for my post. I cannot help it if you feel the need to over react.
