I mean, can you go to a police officer and tell him: this person wrote, in that public wall set up for public expression purposes, hatefull things about me. He said my cnt was drying off and my children would grow fungus because i do not take care of them. And he didnt even sign it!
I know the police officer would have a laugh. I mean yea, there is libel, slander, but a public forum that allows anonymous people to post, is a place where the girls or any idiot should be able to write WHATEVER THE FUCK they want.
YES, i think even insulting other people or refering in BAD ways to their mother, anonymously.
If that sort of thing bothers you, you shouldnt be allowed to breathe in a democracy.
Your freedom to write whatever the fuck you want comes at the cost of other people excercising the exact very same freedom.
Just cause an AC is a potty mouth, they shouldnt be liable for anything criminal related to what they WRITE.
Jesus, please, get all this wankers off the internet before they turn it into their lovingly misserable family playground.
The net is virgin territory, lets NOT commit here the same mistakes we have in meatspace.
Perhaps i shouldve been more clear. By "perfect data protection", I -very poorly- meant to say youre okay if your laptop gets stolen with cryptography. Of course: IF YOU DO IT RIGHT.
I furthermore have the opinion that this "hw based code signing" thingie, WILL NOT provide any sort of true advantage to solve the security problems of most people: it will not help against phishing, it will not prevent virii, it will not save you from a trojan that can live in an office document, a piece of buffer here or there, a local homepage for the help system, any one of the gazillion bugs a system of that size will, inevitably, have.
So there. THanks for the oportunity to make it clear.
When has "what the market wants" been a primary concern for Microsoft?
Not for the past ten years. No siree.
Perfect data protection can be achieved by FREE disk/partition and file encryption.
The kind of protection this thing says it provides (supposedly, it would prevent hw based attacks), means nothing since anything you want to do on hw, you can do on javascript, againsta outlook, against IE, against the taskbar, against silverlight, against a really really big stack of software that is as vulnerable (probably way more), as any other stack that size (size==HUGE).
Trusted Computing my ass. One could hook up against some usb buffer here or there that they dont check, against a printer, for example, or that shiny bluetooth special dongle you have.
Its just idiotic and will do NOTHING to prevent any kind of the scams we are seeing today.
How about working and ironing out your bugs and vulnerabilities?
Well, apparently, thats not the way to do it in redmond.
Assholes are guilty of slavery, from all times: the aztecs, the incans, the chinesse, the japaneese, all of europe, plenty african countries, all of arabia... hell, EVERYWHERE, have, at one time or the other, been guilty of enslaving other people.
Now... talking about america, since the conquest, the main assholes have been the brits up there, and the spaniards and portuguesse down south: mainly white people.
But thats just because its a chosen timeframe and geography. Before the conquest, the main assholes were the aztecs and then before that the mayan and the incan.
In asia the main assholes have been the chinnesse, then for a while the japanesse and now its the chinnesse all over again.
Furthermore.... the word "Africans" means "leaves or was born in a HUGE piece of land home to billions of people of thousends of tribes and ethnicall traits and hundreds of different religions".
Anything you say grouping your targets under the umbrella "Africans", other than: oh, they live from capetown all the way up to the mediterranian", will be a stupid generalization.
I dont think any country that actually OWNS their OWN land would have to shut down anything that does not damage other countries.
Now, i know im oversiplifying (or however that is written): the gvmnt. of that country is a bunch of ugly killing thugs and have their people working in slavery.
Now if THAT worries you, the solution is not "shutting down mining capabilities". The solution is to go in guns blazing and killing the torturing assholes that are hurting their own people, show them a better way to go and let them elect their own government.
Now that sounds pretty (doesn't it mr. prez?), but it doesnt work either (does it mr. prez?), especially if you do it just cause you wanna get the diamonds for yourself.
BUT, if occident would return to the values it once was known for, if occident could recover the credibility and decency that the illustration built for us, then it could work.
If you say your shit is ACPI compliant, it better very DAMNED well be. IF not, youre breaking the law and stumping on consumer rights.
This is criminal behaviour. Its like someone peddling snake oil to cure cancer. Its the exact same crime: they tell you its good for X, but its not true.
They lie about their product, they should be taken out and shot in the head.
Go read what the guy posted. Its an example of a true community member. This attitude is what spawned the Free Software Movement: vendors should not artificially limit what you CAN do with their shit.
This guy has PROVEN that Foxconn TARGETS speciffically Linux and BREAKS IT.
Now that itches. Private corporations could run most countries "better", and take democracy with them. We will turn into fucking corpodrones with this frame of mind in a minute.
Whatever... i mean, i do realize it is happening and it is the future. What i do not understand is where are our balls: we should not be FOR destroying democracy, we should be AGAINST that.
Well, if they made a fuss about spam and caught him then, imagine how they will react to him escaping a federal prision (no matter how lenient the punishment was).
He is in for a baad life. However, no intelligent wife-of-a-delinquent rescues his husband without some sort of financial plan. I bet the guy has a million or two stashed somewhere.
What makes you think we will make it off this rock. Havent you realized that evolution and competition, so embedded in our the flavor of Life that goes here on earth, will not let us survive under restricted resources?
We have no future. Except, perhaps, getting off this rock (the dreaded tech. "singularity") and/or evolving (maybe one needs the other?).
So.... no need to make much fuss bout whats gonna happen in 8 milleniums: we will either be dead or otherwise not here.

Are you KIDDING ME?

Im glad you get the idea.

So there. THanks for the oportunity to make it clear.
So.... USE A CD-ROM BURNED rpm db!
It can be just as easyly done.
RTFM!
rpm -Va
There.
And i forget how to do it with dpkg, but it works the same way.
Ho-Hum

RIght...
So no keyloggers in tpmenabled vista ult?
uh-hu
Something doesnt sound right here.
One word: lock in.
Or is that two words?
How about lock-in
Well... money does it.
Labor is the most valuable resource still, and it has been that way for some time now.
No, it aint. It sounds real though. I buy your view.
meh.... hundreds of millions is two long.
Then we partially agree: the solution is to go in and kill the fuckers, not to "shut down" mining capabilities.

Im just in my pipe dream. Ignore me.
Ah... you see, its a cultural thing: in my country, words for languages can be correctly written non-capitalized.
If they just "didnt care" about linux, why do they have an entry speciffic for it that breaks it?
Where is that "+1 Maybe Unintended Irony" mod option when you need it?
What bad behaviour?
If you say your shit is ACPI compliant, it better very DAMNED well be. IF not, youre breaking the law and stumping on consumer rights.
This is criminal behaviour. Its like someone peddling snake oil to cure cancer. Its the exact same crime: they tell you its good for X, but its not true.

Fuck them and the horse they rode on.
No no no.

This guy has PROVEN that Foxconn TARGETS speciffically Linux and BREAKS IT.
This is anticompetitive and should be a crime.
It will return with the death of all of those grammar nazis that think everyone was born speaking and writing english.
I am not a native english speaker. I do not live in an english speaking country. I challenge you to write in spanish half as well as I do in english.
Having said that, both words "spanish" and "english" show as bad spelling in firefox.... ho-hum.
Now that itches. Private corporations could run most countries "better", and take democracy with them. We will turn into fucking corpodrones with this frame of mind in a minute.
Whatever... i mean, i do realize it is happening and it is the future. What i do not understand is where are our balls: we should not be FOR destroying democracy, we should be AGAINST that.
IF there was any up there in space, which there isnt. So no.
Well, if they made a fuss about spam and caught him then, imagine how they will react to him escaping a federal prision (no matter how lenient the punishment was).
He is in for a baad life. However, no intelligent wife-of-a-delinquent rescues his husband without some sort of financial plan. I bet the guy has a million or two stashed somewhere.
We will be LONG GONE by the year 10000.
