Force them to be better. By beating the required information out of them. They'll soon learn to pay attention to what they did wrong, and to any error messages, if they consequences of not doing so are a thorough thrashing.
Of course, in some nancy pancy places they frown on beating the users. In those cases, I guess you could try the carrot approach. Give them a chocolate coin for every useful detail in the error report.
Have a clear list of what is required and what is helpful for any error report. Then, make it clearly visible and accessible (in the help of the application, in other documentation, etc.). Require users to complete a checklist before they can even submit a report via the bug report system. Refuse (or 'forget') all reports submitted via email, phone, or any other method that is not the bug reporting system.
Sure there is some copyright issues with translatins, but seriously, fuck the copyright holders, and the middle-men, in this case. And, of course, fuck the police.
What the industry needs to do instead of this sort of bullshit, is to contract with the fansubbers, and pay them for their work. The fansubbers provider a much quicker turn around on translations and subs, and are doing it for the love of the work. What better way to make yourself look even better, than to not just tolerate, but to pay!?
The fansubbers allow people to watch the media who would otherwise not be able to (due to not understanding the language). That's great. I wish them well.
I think you meant to say that: The police ARE domestic terrorists, whose targets are citizens rather than government personnel or buildings. I'm far more worried about the police shooting me, stealing my stuff, or locking me away, than I am any other group in society.
There's a war going on, and people like you are traitors. You support the militarization of the police against the citizenry, rather than supporting the citizenry. And for that, you'll be up against the wall when the revolution comes.
Want to get rid of gangs? Start with the biggest fucking gangs around, they tend to wear uniforms and carry big guns though.
Want to keep your domestic occupation force and still get rid of the other gangs? Start by looking at the root causes, poverty, illegality of too many damn things, etc.
And yet they still manage to shoot and kill civilians! Oh wait, those are "potential terrorists" and "collateral damage" (yeah, some guys were firing some weapons in the air, so we blew the shoot out of them, what do you mean that's how they celebrate weddings? what sort of fucked up culture celebrates weddings by having the shit blown out of them?).
The most dangerous people in society with guns are the police and the military. The police kill far more civilians with guns than any other single group, other than the military.
So, geotag the bases and locations of known members of the biggest gangs around! The occupation is rough, let's make it rougher for them.
Sex on waterslides is not recomneded. Though if you can time the climax for when you are in the air at the bottom of the 'slide... If you want to give it a go, fuck a bit before you get on the 'slide, and then continue on it.

Two different things are being talked about. One, what I, and the article, are talking about, is political entities. Two, what you are talking about, is a cultural entity.
You'll notice the lack of plural on your 'Korea', while I talk about the two 'Koreas'. The political entities have only existed since 1945, and are distinct and quite different from the Korean Empire/Kingdom that existed prior to 1910, and to the Japanese colonial rule between these years.
It's really quite easy to put a date on it.
Take Australia. Australia has existed as a political entity since 1901. Yet, there were people, with a similar cultural identity, living there prior to that year. But it is still not claimed that the Australian political entity existed prior to the federation of the colonies.
Take Russia. The About article lists that they have existed since 1991 (what I would have said as well). But there has been a Russia for a lot longer than that! Yes, the political entity that is currently Russia though, has only existed independently since December 1991. Before that it was part of a greater entity, the USSR. And it would be absurd to argue that the current Russian state is some how a continuation of the Russian Tzardom that existed until 1917.
If he had done things the "right way" as you put it, he would be in jail and tortured or worse. The "wrong way" means that he is a free man, after doing nothing wrong. Do you often feel that punishing people for doing nothing wrong is the way to go? Because it's a bit sick if you do.
This man had the guts and the courage to do what was right. To expose some of the corruption and malaise that exists in the USA. And you, oh such a strong person aren't you, ranting about doing the correct thing from the safety of your home, you claim he should have faced the consequences. Would you have the strength of chacater to stand up for what you believe in? If you realized that your government was, e.g. systematically sterilizing women against their will, or imprisoning blacks without charge or on false evidence, or making and then breaking treaties with other nations, would you expose the wrong doing and simply accept the consequences? Even if that meant you might be imprisoned and kept in solitary confinement, forced to sleep without bedding or clothing, unable to exercise (just some of the things done to that other hero Bradly Manning)?
What if you discovered your company was actually a mafia front, and they were funneling and laundering large quantities of drug money and protection money through it? Would you stand up in front of the media and loudly denounce them? What, you don't want to accept the consequences of your actions (death and dismemberment), why coward! You should never have mentioned the nasty news in the first place if you weren't willing to die painfully.
Snowden is not a fool, he realized that the government of the USA is no better than a mafia gang. That the consequences would be no nicer. That the justice would be no more justice than could be expected from the mafia. He fled and did the moral thing, the ethical thing, he showed the world that the USA is still as hypocritical as ever.
Snowden is a hero and I wish him the best of luck!
Life has a 100% fatality rate. It's something to joke about.
What's black and white and red all over? A nun beaten to death. Ha ha! Classic.
I.e. just because you might not find it funny, doesn't mean that there should never be jokes made about it. Just because you find the topic serious, doesn't mean everyone does.
Also, the GP didn't even mention people dying. You did. Why do you think it's at all relevant to the GP's post?
The way I got most of my bitcoins was signing up at the bitcoin forums (back when they still hung off the bitcoin.org domain) and replying to people asking for work to be done in exchange for bitcoins. I did some web work (like convert a static HTML site to WordPress) and got paid. Brilliant. The forums still sometimes have people posting opportunities like that. You should check it out. Though, the type of work you do might not be web work, but whatever sort of work you're able to do over a network.
It maybe obvious to you, but there was no North Korea (DPRK) or South Korea (ROK) before 1945. And to say that these two countries existed for a thousand years or more is just ridiculous. Would you also have said in 1968 that East Germany had existed since 1871? Even though it was a distinct political entity to Prussia, or the German Empire?
The two Koreas are distinct and quite different to the Empire/Kingdom that existed before 1910. And I don't think anyone in Korea really would say that either of the two political entities are a continuation of that entity, even if they might claim the annexation by Japan was illegal.
AGPL is a perfectly fine license, and I use it myself for certain projects. I'm not sure it's quite appropriate for this case though.
It is intended to attack the software-as-a-service loophole in the GPL, which allows people to take software (e.g. WordPress Multisite) and because it never leaves the server it is running on, it's not being distributed, and so changes are not distributed. And so users cannot take the modified software and run it on their own server.
Like the GPL, the AGPL is a license for end users. It allows them (the end users) to ensure that they always have access to the source code of the software they use.
And frankly, I think that if anyone really cares, they can just fork from the last "good" version.
The only issue that I can just think of (and pointed out in the Debian thread), is that for software that uses the database, they may have to be re-licensed. AGPL is irrelevant though, it would still be the case if BerkeleyDB was re-licensed to GPL or another strong copyleft (OMG virus!) license.
Also, the Infoworld article is simply wrong. If someone uses BerkeleyDB for a webapp, they don't have to make the whole app AGPL, merely GPL3 (which means that if it's an internal only (not distributed) webapp, that nothing changes). Just because it is GPL3, it doesn't mean that it has to be distributed. Though, as pointed out, you can continue to buy a proprietary license if you want.
Some of the subjects that will be included are: * wiretapping for beginners * how to put up ineffective paywalls * how to run a thriving social media network into the ground
Of course, being a "computer science" class (by which I'm sure they mean "ICT for dummies"), there won't be some of Rupert's other specialties. Such as: * How to influence people by a coordinator national campaign by the newspapers and other media you own (and thus ensure a victory for the side who promised you the most in the next election) * How to lie, cheat and steal your way out of trouble * News? We're not a news channel, we're an entertainment channel. And we'll take it to court to ensure we can lie while pretending it is news.
From 1910 to 1945 Korea was a part of the Japanese Empire, and, as such, not independent. They became "independent" in 1945 (and by that, they became independent from one empire, and the two halves each became dependent on another empire).
So did the fellow actually admit (and plausibly so) to the crime? How about you wait to see if he's actually guilty before spouting of about how you want to kill him.
Innocent until proven guilty is a good idea, even if you aren't a court. Without it, you end up with innocents being lynched because of false witness.
The whole point of freedom of speech is that there aren't consequences (at least in the sense of the government taking action against you) for your speech. If there was 100% freedom of speech, we could all say whatever we want. There isn't. There are certain restrictions on, e.g., commercial speech (you can't out and out lie in an ad).
Think about these: There is freedom to masturbate in public, you just have to accept the consequences (the freedom does not absolve one from responsibility for the consequences for masturbating in public). There is freedom to kill people. But that freedom does not absolve one from responsibility for the consequences of the killing in question.
If you say we have to accept the consequences, you imply that actually the freedom is imaginary (there is no freedom to kill, or to masturbate in public).
SMTP is amazing, you can send an email from any email address. So, if my main email address is magic@maverick.com, and I'm having commercial mail sent to the domain manic.com, I just use the feature of my email client to make the send from address slashdot.org@manic.com (or whatever). And the way it's set up, all the fancy anti-spam measures (DomainKeys or whatever) still work!
Real people (who aren't working for an org) get my main email address (magic@maverick.com). On forms I write stuff like blahblah@manic.com or noreply@manic.com or even aiirapk2@manic.com. Or whatever. And I can then use those to communicate with people at whichever org it is.
The GPL has never been about data (e.g. the Doom WAD files), but just about the code. The fact that so many themes and what not are violating the principles of separation of content and presentation and interaction (HTML, CSS, and JS) is a problem. But, if they weren't doing it, then it wouldn't matter if the JS and CSS were Free or not. Because the content would be usable without the crap. Personally, I just say, don't use themes that aren't all Free. Solves the issue for me.
Yeah, they all forward to my main account. But my main account is on a different domain, and so is not immediately obvious (one reason to having throw away accounts, and not solved by all the fanbois going, "but you just go isuckgooglescock+slashdot.org@gmail.com", which easily gets isuckgooglescock@gmail.com).
And, in reality, I suspect there are a maximum of five (a quick count gives three, I may have missed one or two) 'accounts' that have been given a disposable address that would matter (i.e. I might loose some money or something else of value) if someone else had control over the address. There are another four or so that matter at the moment (related to some travel I'm going to be taking), but won't in a few months time.
That's out of the more than 150 uses I've recorded.
My Gmail account is not worth anything. Mainly because I never tied it to anything else, and I forgot the password years ago. Whoops. I don't like the Gmail interface, let alone the tied to Google aspect.
But if you could get a hold of my main email account... Actually, I still have no (or very few) other accounts tied to it. That's 'cause I give every service and website a different email address (slashdot.org.2013.06.26@example.org). So far I haven't discovered anyone specifically having sold or lost my email address, but I'm sure it's a matter of time.
What's the specifying Gmail for again? This is applicable to any email account isn't it?
