seriously slashdot, it takes a fuckin moron to post a story this lame, michael you suck, no this isn't a troll or flame bait, but this is a bad story a bad concept and everyone thinks it sucks, don't lower the integrity of slashdot. Reply below if you think this story was insanely stupid
if they just use open source as a decoy while actually building a very similar (but biased) closed source system which is actually implemented, the public will see the source and be happy. There is no way to make sure you're using the right code when you actually vote, unless of course you compiled it yourself, which would be much worse.
I don't honestly think this will happen, but something to think about...
Hmmmm first off I never mentioned the taliban, they are an extremist group unfairly ruling afghanistan, I realize that. My post was simply regarding American views towards islam. Now my point was not to not take action against governments that are anti-western but simply to recognize that there is no right and wrong, we are only right and wrong within our belief system and culture. They are just as right as we are. We all fight for our beliefs, we should just realize the nature of them.
Hmm human rights, they consider it just as bad that our women are allowed to act as free as they do. To them it's just as bad. Now I personally find much of it disgusting but hey, taking away the internet is a minor thing. When they say it promotes western values and is anti islam they are correct, it does not work with their belief system.
Now someone else mentioned nazi germany and soviet era russia. I have conflicting views on this, On one hand we are only right in our eyes, BUT according to western philosophy (which I believe in) we must stop these offenses. This is one of the main problems that has plagued civilization. We all have our own belief systems, we will try to enforce them, history has shown that, BUT I would never say people are wrong or just stupid as some other posts have mentioned. It is different, nothing more. No more or less evil, it is all in the eyes of the viewer.
Seriously, don't judge other cultures, for all the free thinking america espouses it's a pretty intolerant nation. We advocate freedom as long as the other party embraces our core values. If you look at it from extreme Islam's point of view we're just as evil as them if not more so. We are heathens to them, but that is ok because that's what they believe. Now I personally don't advocate taking away liberties and sexism and the other more violent parts of their culture but i'm ok with them doing it, Because it's their culture.
Get off your pedastal of freedom and realize what a hypocrite you are.
Oh yeah mods, mod me down as troll like that other guy but I don't care cuz i'm fucking right and I don't care what you discriminating pigs have to say
since the earth is a sphere, the width and length of my property increases as the altitude increases, which means the property about 30,000,000 liteyears from my house is huge, if i go out far enough, i'll own an entire galaxy!
no no no, the attack came through several servers, one of which was chinese, the others were in the US.
They mentioned china, cuz of their political significance
