You forget who makes the laws. That's right--the megaconglomerates.
You thought slavery ended 150 years ago? We are all slaves now to corporate America. Our lives are bought and sold on a daily basis, and this is just one example.
Every time you use your grocery discount card, pay with a credit card, or send off for that rebate, some company is making money on your personal information.
It is definitely time for changes, but who will make them? Do you think your congressman gives a crap about you? He's not going to change the laws that go against the corporations funding his re-election campaign.
The only way to way to evoke legal changes is to vote every single one of those corrupt bastards out of office and then immediately change the laws, and then change the laws affecting term limitations and campaign finance to keep them from serving in Congress until they're 100 years old. What good is a 100 year-old senile bastard in government?
I really love Winders. My passion is sending spam email for prescriptions, fake watches, mortgages, and pron sites.
Winders "security" makes it so easy to add new zombies to my smtp proxy network so I can send spam virtually untraceable. Since most users are too ignorant or oblivious to care, I can compromise unpatched Winders hosts within minutes.
Thanks a lot also for making it so easy to spam Hotmail accounts with that shotgun regex account-matching system. I can just make up random email addresses and Hotmail delivers it to the closes matching accounts.
Thanks for all the good work Microsoft. Thanks for continuing to expand your product and service line in all areas rather than focusing on fixing bugs and critical security issues in current products. Without you, I'd be out of business.
I make so much money I'd like to share some with you. I'm going to send $500K, but I only have a cashiers check for $1M. Could you go ahead and send me a check for the difference now.
I think East Indian is U.S. reference to a native of India, as opposed to Native American or American Indian, which are commonly referred to as Indians (thanks to Christopher Columbus) in the U.S. It is not intended to be derrogatory, but merely a qualifier.
As soon as you realize everything you described is the result of big business driving a frenzy of consumerism with the single goal of sucking your every last penny/blood/soul until you die, you should stop catering to the whims of some corporate marketroid fat cat making $4M/year and find ways to beat the "system".
But where does one begin in self-taught mathematics today? I like to dabble in everything, but it seems the field is expanding in so many directions it would be impossible to get exposure to all aspects.
15 years ago, I was good at applied physics and calculus. 10 years ago I was still good at statistics. Today, my math skills are probably at a college algebra level.
I have lots of math texts, but I don't really want to reread them all. What's the best exposure path for someone who would rather be a mathematician than corporate slave? I don't really trust the universities to have my best interests at heart.
Larry Ellison may be good at business, be he sure isn't very ethical. This is a very cold, uncaring move to dominate a market.
We tend to think that we're so much better off today than we were hundreds of years ago in the fiefdoms, where battles to dominate a 'territory' were fought by swords and loyalty was bought with title. Don't fool yourself. This was a battle for territory like any other.
The terrorists have already taken over. ClearChannel killed my favorite 35-year-old rock station in favor of Latino hip-hop. If that's not terrorism, I don't know what is...
tell M$ to put their money where their mouth is and hold them liable for all the damages.
Any auto maker is liable for problems necessitating recalls, so why shouldn't M$ be too? You'd think the biggest company in the world could at least back their products.
Lobby to your congress-person to hold M$ responsible.
How does he get away with claiming that SCO 'owns' C++, especially since it is an ISO standard? Is it due to Bjarne's ties to AT&T or some blanket claim to all IP that originated with AT&T? Why not C as well? I hope the feds put a swift end to this madness.
