The most outrageous thing about this whole fiassco is the bankruptcy's trustee's complicity in SCO's theft. This is not money that SCO owes Novell. This is money that never was SCO's in the first place. Courts have ruled it was "converted" which means stolen. Yet the backruptcy trustee corruptly continues to hold and spend Novell's money. This makes him complicit in that theft.
It gets better--following their math, 92 minutes a week gives a 14% reduction in mortality from all causes, and every additional 15 minutes gives an additional 4%. there's no point of diminishing returns identified. So, if you exercise 7 hours a week, you become immortal.
Not if someone who exercises 8 hours per week takes your head!
driod is a propriatary product built on top of Linux. This is not a GPL violation because the GPL allows this. Never the less, it has all the well known disadvantages of propriatary Software to wit:
The vendor keeps the source secret making bugs difficult to fix.
The vendor encourages dependancy
Vendor lockin
end user manipulation.
additional cost
discourages tinkering.
one size fits all approach.
loss of freedom
All this happens because propriatary software is evil! In order to avoid these evils we need to fork the droid! That is, we need to create freesoftware that does the same thing as the droid. There should to be NO app stores! There should be software repositories!
This information was mostly created by NASA. The Authors mostly have jobs at Universities. So why does a member of the public have to pay $32 to read this paper?
We need to put standard GNU/Linux on our pads and phones. Not some OS only kludge with Linux OS but proprietary app space. Down with stores! Up with free repositories! Google can not use patents to block this because Google is member of OIN! And if Google left OIN it would be hit by the proprietary vampires!
What kind of weird environment is it when you can not run native apps on your own hardware? Only some bad imitation of Java applets!
If Google tried trivialization, they would find manufactures already know how to make the hardware, and why not sell 2 versions a GNU/Linux version and a prison version!
Somebody needs to fork the droid that is replace the proprietary parts of android with Free Software creating the GnuPhone and the GnuPad! What would you rather have a droid that can only run those apps in a app store that Google thinks is good for you(or it), or something that can run anything in Debian's repository! It may be hard at first but the fork will succeed for the same reasons GNU Linux has. Google's developers may be smart, but they can not compete with the whole world!
Down with app stores. Up with app repositories!
Google can not attack with copyrights, because the proprietary parts would be rewritten. Copyright only protects the particular expression of ideas not ideas themselves.
Google cannot attack with patents because Google is a member of OIN, (Open Inventions Network). If Google were to attempt to leave OIN, it would expose itself to attack from the proprietary world!
This whole situation is a perfect example of why Free Software is superior to proprietary. It is not just that Free Software is low cost, although it is true that in Free Software world we don't have "App Stores" we download from repositories.
The real benefit is that free software is free. This kind of anti-end user "feature" is totally impossible in the Free Software world. If developer tried this kind of stuff in a free software project, his project would be forked so fast it would make his head spin. It is probably a five line fix!
The only reason this feature does not get hacked away is because it is illegal and difficult because lack of source code.
The bottom line is that Free Software developers can not indulge in this anti-end-user behavior, because their projects would get forked!
When you buy a computer with a proprietary OS used for personal purposes you are giving hostile strangers control over part of your life.
Because the human mind is the most powerful weapon in existance and because information is the amunition for that weapon, the first amendment is an instance of the second amendment and is logicaly implied by it. The first would be totally unnecessary if the founders could be sure that the judges would not willfully misinterpret things. But, because judges might try to wiggle out, it is good that we have a 1st.

But the authors of this constitution were lawyers. They made damn sure in section 5 that no one could get out of testifying in a multi-million dollar lawsuit by claiming atheism!
I have had bicycle stolen from me twice when I did not have money for a replacement. Bicycle thieves are lower than the worms that crawl out from 30 meter pile of feces to eat out a puppies' eyes. They are vile creatures not worthy to be in the universe. They should not be allowed to use computers at all. They should be required to stomp worms all day in their bare feet!
Does not the IPV6 specification support end to end encryption? Is going to interfere with the FBI's plan to force all ISPs to help bug everyone's internet connection for the FBI?
If there is end to end encryption, the connection can not be bugged at the ISP except for traffic analysis. Is that right?
It will be politically impossible to keep Windows off this network. (It is said that the U.S. army runs on powerpoint.) And it is not possible to secure any network using Windows computers.
The qualifications for the U.S. courts are written in the constitution. Congress and the Senate do not have the power to rewrite these qualifications, short of a constitutional amendment.
Bill Gates Misunderstands what "global warming" is all about. His solution (whether it would work or not,) misses the point and will be automaticly rejected.
Bill Gates seems to be thinking that "global warming" represents some threat to humanity, that needs to be solved by some method, in order to protect humanity. This is not the case. If global warming were about the good of humanity, then global warming advocates would be equally concerned about the Yellowstone supervolcano as they are about "global warming".
The Yellowstone supervolcano is 40 thousand years overdue and has the potential to wipe out 90% of the population of the US. The Science behind the Yellowstone supervolcano is much less speculative that "global warming". It is definely known that this MF will go off.
I believe that with a concerted effort and spending a lot of money the American people could reduce the death toll to only 50%! The area of total devastation will probably only be 4 states. Most people will probably be killed by cascade effects that could be planned for and prevented at a huge cost. Things like starvation from not having stored enough food for the "volcanic winter" when several years harvests are lost. Things like the power being out for years because of volcanic dust shorting out the power lines. Things like massive riots by starving people because of economic and political collapse because the physical economy was not built strong enough. Many of these things could be planned for and prevented.
But it is not going to happen. There is no way for a politician to buy votes, or a bureaucrat to collect bribes, by solving a problem that most people do not want to think about.
But to return to "global warming" and Bill Gates' mistake. "Global warming" is not about the good of humanity. If "global warming" were about the good of humanity then the global warming advocates would be equally concerned about the yellowstone supervolcano and they are not.
"Global warming" exists as an issue because it provides the pretext for a massive power grab. Imagine the campaign contributions that a politician can collect if the politician is going to control everyone that needs to have a fire, directly or indirectly. Imagine the bribes that can be collected if you are a bureaucrat regulating everyone with a fire! This is why the global warming issue exists, not the good of humanity.
Bill Gates' solution does not require the massive power grab to solve the global warming problem. Indeed it undermines the perceived need for such a power grab. It would be the same with any cheap purely technological solution that does not require a bureaucrat regulating everyone with a fire. Gates' solution threatens the true goal of the global warming advocacy. It therefore will be automaticly rejected. One wonders how someone so smart and cynical as Bill Gates could miss the point so badly.
This post also does not serve the interests of the global warming advocacy. It therefore will be down moderated.
The ability of humans to pathologically reject what they don't want to know is simply amazing. In the 1950's the UFOs did everything but drop turds on the White House Lawn. The ability of some people to dismiss what they don't want to know with nonsensical references to ball lightning or swamp gas is beyond belief if you have not seen it happen.
Major world governments, do not have that option. Sometime in th 50's or before the UFOs did contact them. Ever since the major governments' policy has been to make humanity look more like redwoods and less like med-fly!
Does anyone really think that space aliens are smart enough to make ships capable of interstellar travel and yet not be able to do simple Malthusian arithmetic? If humanity had the power to escape the prison of the solar system, how long would it be before humans infested everywhere? An eyeblink by the standards of galactic history. It is the policy of the major earth governments to:
make it look like humanity is tempermentally incapable of developing the means of interstellar travel.
make humanity look more benign in other ways.
See how much is explained by this theory:
It explains why I still have not got my flying car! A humanity unable to develop the flying car and still dependant on coal, gas, and oil looks less threatening.
It explains why public research into so-called "cold fusion" (really unexplainable heat production), is suppressed or downplayed. If it became known that humanity understood this phenomena, humanity would look more dangerous. The world governments must assume that everything on TV networks or the internet is bugged by the aliens. So so-called "cold fusion" does not exist!
It explains why major world governments still refuse to acknowledge the existence of UFOs. If ordinary people were told of the existence of UFOs and space aliens, humanities reaction could not be made to look benign. If the UFO secret had been any ordinary secret, it would have been disclosed long ago. Consider how much the Commies hated the capitalists and the capitalists hated the commies. Even better, consider how much the Democrats hate the Republicans and the Republicans hate the Democrats! If the UFO secret had been an ordinary secret it would have be disclosed long ago as ammunition in the ongoing political wars! The fact that the UFO secret has survived this long means that the worlds governments are also concealing some other secret inextricably intertwined with the UFO secret that is so horrendous and explosive that it absolutely can not be revealed. The most frightening fact about recent history is that the UFO secret still has not been told.
I do not know if the posting document would be covered by fair use or not. But copyright law does not protect facts or ideas, only the particular expression of ideas. It seems to me that a paraphrased version would be perfectly legal. This makes copyright law a poor vehicle to enforce secrecy.
O.K. But how will we know when it is time to panic? Will President Obama make a declaration signed with the Presidential seal? How will we know?
When it is time to panic, what should we do? Run in circles and scream an shout? Or whimper in the corner? Should we gather frogs or should we release all of our frogs?
Where is the panic button, who is in charge of pressing it, and why have they not pressed it yet?

The continuing government UFO coverup is the most alarming modern covert fact!

The security of the android system is not quite ready for prime time, makeing virii possible.
So someone will write a virus that deliberately bricks a million phones using the e-fuses.
This will become a public relations disaster as millions complain about their Motorola phones.
Motorola will decide this was not such a good policy after all.
Please do not do this, it is illegal. Besides, it is bond to happen anyway.
