but CEO Stephen Elop, former microsoft employee has already been offered a position back at microsoft, the concept they are acting independantly at any time is absurd.
In today's cut rate world, someone like Ms Hopper would be over-qualified, and no one would hire her, because they wouldn't be willing to pay what they thought she's worth, or she'd jump ship after 6 months.
I am still pissed there hasn't been an LTS since 3.4, and they are NOT being released on a regular cadence
3.0, 3.2 and 3.4, released in short succession all are LTS, and since then none. I understand the devs can't maintain a zillion kernels, but could they at least space them out and/or release on a more stable cadence.
No, bill gates is denying people the things which people would use to build a society that would manufacture these products for themselves.
Bill Gate's idea of charity ends when it might result in someone else being self-suffiecient.
As with most rich white liberals, the idea of aid goes out the window, when it costs more than $1 a day to make a diffrence. His "aid" is done merely to snub the rest of the less-fortunate world, and give him the platform to do so.
I firmly believe that internet access is a human right, in many places sought out before running water. Its potential enable mass communication, and information sharing is unparallel.
The problems with mass internet in the last 5-7 years have been the efforts to restrict it. Blocking server traffic, locking down phone and tablet OSs, and strictly screening the software that one gets to use on a new computer platform. The attempt is to lock it into an infotainmaint platform strictly regulated by a handful of content producers, and keep people from producing their own messages, something that has the potential to be a game changer in social, economic, and political fields.(as the printing press has done).
It is essential for a free web, that with proflieration of the internet, and the bridge over the digital divide add two imporant measures:
1. Root Access. Everyone who "owns" or has exclusive use of a computer shall have root access, to mean administrator, and access over the entire operating system. There shall be nothing reserved that a manufacturer, technician, or operator to have more privledge than a machine owner. If computers are being held in common, everyone should have the right to root access on at least one general purpose computer.
2. Right to a general purpose computer/information system. For all intents and purposes, everyone has the right to a turring complete, general purpose computer access, with root access and internet capable. For this measure, no computer will be considered General Purpose, unless it is self-hosting, normally self hosted, and self-hosting development tools are reasonably available to the user.(Right to develop)
3. Net Neutrality will be observed. No port, nor content filtering will be done, peroid, and the right to run a server or client will be preserved across all links. No special treatment of any packets.
4. Speed. Herein year 2013, it is not unreasonable to set the minimum unit of speed at one unit of internet, 3 megabyte(long)/s in both dirrections. By 2030, this should be 30 MB/s
what I am saying is you can't wear them in private shops like burger kings, titty bars, or other private owned, public establishment which will ban their usage.(mabey if it catches on, a big company like google will take them all to court and sue the piss out of them to change this)
But policing crimes with a victim is far easier, there is far more evidence, more witnesses, and far less sympathy.
you make it sound likes its equal effort for the government to enforce a law against the people, as opposed to protecting the people.
When people are being protected, their willingness to help the police goes up. This is how law enforcement is supposed to work.
When the populace is hostile to the police, you need more police, because no one is reporting crimes, so you need to spy on, harrass, and intimidate citizens to comply.
the United States is a pretend democracy. Only certain opions are allowed to be heard, only certain people are allowed to protest.
Only certain parties are really allowed to run.
Everything else is attacked by the state aparatus, or affiliated corporations, to include the media, who have all the best politicians, and run the campaigns for all politicians.
Chris Dodd, Lamar Smith, Al Franken, Chuck Hagel, Harry Ried, John McCain, are all paid media representatives.
In turn this doesn't get reported, because, who's going to report it?
Read Adrian Lamo's story. Thats a little fucked up too. That man was broken by the system as well.
If there ever was a reason to hate institutionalized psychiatry its Adrian Lamo.(he got arrested once, after he reported a crime against his property, because they cop though he talked like a mental patient, so he was forcibly institutionalized, also social stigmitation made him an outcast wandering the streets for about a decade. Men like him are damn easy to coerce into doing whatever. I suspect some form of stockholm syndrome from a decade of abuse from the system.)
but if prostitution where legal, the amount of sex slaves would go down, and the government would be able to ensure protections for prostitutes, and make their living conditions better.
The reason they can be treated like sex slaves, is because they can't go to the cops to complain.
what did you expect wikileaks to really do to help them? They are under fire themselves, need cash to keep their spokesperson out of jail himself, and they were under a financial blockcade and mass slander campaign. They don't really have the funds to do anything.
As for assanges statement, when did he ever say that?
"Whistle blower channels exist for more than just keeping secrets secret" I doubt their effectiveness. The system does what it needs to do, and makes excuses later.
1. None of his detractors are ever really going to forgive him. They'd just take this as a sign they broke him and pat themselves on the back at a job well done. It vindicates their position, and makes them look better.
2. Its a slap in the face to his supporters. It makes them look like idiots, and traitors for supporting him, which is what its going to be used for in propaganda.

yeah, but how is that diffrent than the to-hire PR mercs we have in the states.
except they work for money, not national loyality.

no, bill gates helped solidify the tech industry in the hands of greedy buisnessmen, and away from activists, and helped drive a new closed internet.
but I bet you think "rich" is everyone who owns a computer and lives in America, and I bet you also think shit paper is a luxury.

i.e. drop 3.0 or 3.2 for 3.10/11???
this is /., no one is taking away your rights.
the huffing glue post has been a hot bed of low brow commentary, unreseached shit, and conclusions that don't reach facts.
Its basicly the minor leauges for CNN, MSNBC, and FOX, with even more sensationalism than normal

no gates wants people to stay dependant on bill gates and his charity.

And they will be able to wear them other places everyone else is restricted from.
It will be one more thing the police are allowed to use(against you), that you can't use.
I agree, this is not a double blind scientific study.
but don't let that stop people from running off at the mouth about it
There are ways of coercing people that don't include chaining them up in basements.
While its true, a hooker has more a boss/employee relationship, there are very few if any protections for them, and they are often exploited.
But policing crimes with a victim is far easier, there is far more evidence, more witnesses, and far less sympathy.

Or mabey there are some people left in this country who have greater goals than self-advancement and self-promotion.
This drives our celebrity obsessed culture crazy, because it makes the rest of us look bad

I hope this thing works faster than 300 baud
the worst part is this is a horrible idea.
1. None of his detractors are ever really going to forgive him. They'd just take this as a sign they broke him and pat themselves on the back at a job well done. It vindicates their position, and makes them look better.

3. He's not going to get a lighter sentance.

your wrong too it seems
it seems only to be a crime, when the people being mislead are stockholders, or others doing their bidding.
No, its just that for the first time, they seem to have viable competition they can't FUD or lawsuit away.
They never made decent products. In fact they've made their best products ever.
Don't believe me, windows 95, MS bob, etc...
They have had a string of bad products because people more or less had to buy them to get a computer.
