"The scientists estimate there were 3.18 billion workers in the world's labor force at the time, each of whom received an average of 3TB of information per year."
was only business workers. so your point is invalidated.
for (almost) zero knowledge puppy linux is the easiest, one 125MB download and burn, and a usb drive or a dumpster dive desktop with hdd and you can get a full linux. text editing, email, browsing, a calender app, file managment tools (good for simple hd recovery)... the hardest part is setting the cd/dvd to boot, runs faster than ubuntu supports old hardware... its still gnome based though, if that matters to you. and it has a wonderful blu-ray dvd and cd burner tool for converting hdds to blu-ray etc.
not new. 'if you build it they will come' the thought that you can get people to live in cities simply by building them is an old thought.
when hoover dam was built they diverted the water made a temporary river and lake formed then a city was built (only the roads though not whole empty cities)
i am sure the pattern of doing this is old, it even made into Robert Jordan's wheel of time where a half built city was just left there empty.
cops make mistakes. i know someone who monitors police calls and compares them to public records from the courthouse, looking for errors and mistakes. believe what you want to, but cops are not infallible.
everyone even the best of the best are capable of making mistakes,
i think the real life analogue of this software is a pair of paper scissors and hiding fragments in unmarked folders. even if you know what the computer is about to do, finding all the 'misplaced' folders is something likely to take several hours per incident. if this technique was used to protect a whole lot of folders it might not be reversible at any level.
What about the huge catalogue of win32 applications?
If I was to believe the anti-linux trolling of the last decade or so, that's the major reason people won't ever, ever switch!
On a more serious note, I know.Net stuff stands a good chance of working fine, but there's a hell of a lot of windows stuff people use that isn't.Net and I can't see a translation engine or emulation working that great on ARM stuff.
the reason people didn't switch was they didn't know how to change, now with 'smart phones' the kids are learning to be wireless and have no patience for slow clunky windows cloud or no cloud.
"It's very disheartening to watch your favorite game crash and burn while the developers implement bad idea after bad idea, despite really great suggestions flooding the forums"
i know how you feel, final fantasy was one of my favorite series but the latest ones are sorta uninspired. advance wars went wrong when they went to a online version of the game, lacking voip and simplifying maps, while making non fog of war play very one sided. it is like they wanted people to be bored with it and not play.it.
obesity is just an option. you say it is diet but if i starve myself for a week no fat loss only water weight loss, the fat is there and it won't go away no diet drug is going to fix it, i never even lost my baby fat. does that mean i'm a cyborg with no ability to process fat? possibly. i got serious over water purity and my appetite went down and i found gold crystals in the water they are pumping weight gain shit in my drinking water, then there are the 'preservatives' in food, yummy more toxins plz. no thanks there is a reason not even insects eat the grain we grow here. all poisoned. sad.
the truth isn't ugly at all. what i have seen since 2006 opened my eyes for perhaps the first time. i no longer believe what i have been told. television, books, internet, my own family, so called doctors, supposed religious icons... i quit video gaming i quit reading i almost quit internet and tv, i really could live without all the lies. i couldn't type the truth here but i know it now so good luck pretending.
i am still learning trying to catch up for the time i wasted being hedonistic american brat.
thanks for clarifying that the path the experts called for weakens china's buying power.
some people tell me i don't need to change. they say to listen to my heart. my heart still just goes 'thump thump' though. my goal is to break through the stereotype and find that special someone i need.
How does something "slip through the cracks" for 7 years?
A project that was $68 million total... instead was $100+ million (a year?!!)
If the city DIDN'T spend MORE-THAN-HALF-A-BILLION maybe they wouldn't be raising the fare on the subway/bus for the 3rd time in just a few years.
Here's a thought.. once a year look at projects and see if they were supposed to be done already. You can pay someone $1,000 a MINUTE to do this and still save money by finding another project like this.
here is what i can tell you head over to pandora radio and make a station of old old music. folk songs sometimes explain things like that...
no worries we're just carbs water and some vitamins and minerals, if its in soil that can be processed into supplements and we can all live like the jetsons having breakfast pills. sure the stomach would be in pain but thats what advil and tylenol and nuprin are for! and all of that stuff can be recycled again when it comes out of us. so energy to do that becomes the main problem...
so hows that for a dystopia future worth fighting against.
people are starving and were heading towards $5 gas an you want to colonize mars? where they don't have water or petrolium. we ought to be working on synthetic foods and reducing our addiction to fast paced high energy consuming video games.
porn is overrated what is so great about watching a couple people mating for fun? or just one nude person posing sexily?
then again i am 33 years old and i've never coupled anyone. i really need help changing that around, a lack of good bedroom dancing can bring around self destructive thoughts like suicide.
i have always stood by the freedom of information. it is the one thing i did right in my life. censorship is bad it lets bad people do bad things and then claim it never really happened. so amazon is going out of it's way to follow stupid laws that weren't really voted on in some obscure world where censorship is better than fair laws, with fair punishments. if i for example had gone out of my way to rape little girls it would only be bad if society could agree to that. and what about nudity do elephants wear clothing in your universe? i think not, have horses been banned because they have big cocks plainly visable? see it's not cut and dried. society is too focused on massive legal codes that are pointless and make life less interesting. and yes in my universe we still have horses thanks to the beer industry, and hobby farmers.
for the record i have never raped anyone of any age in any world. (and you can quote me on that!) still a never had sex person. god it's lonely being myself...
listen cryptography was meant to make it so that only an elite few could use it.
we dont want wasteful encryption. encryption is the wrong road. if society all dropped encryption... well it would be better than sleeping half a day every day. we could still have secrets, secrets don't require encryption.
i know you have your reasons for talking about security, but honestly security is overated. how many picoseconds do you think its been since 1977.
"My understanding is that every PS3 game is signed with those keys. Therefore, invalidating them through a firmware update would mean that every PS3 game to date will no longer work."

i call prior art, suing wolfenstein with a 2002 patent? last time i checked 1992 happened before 2002.

Sometimes you just have to wonder about the /. editors...
no need to wonder, just watch the tv we grew up on.
i actually was up to 10 miles a day riding bike, eating pinto beans and low fat diet etc. but i didn't lose a single pound after 40 days of trying.
some say that i just got muscle weight and i forgot to do a waistline check, of course... so no i have tried.
obesity is just an option. you say it is diet but if i starve myself for a week no fat loss only water weight loss, the fat is there and it won't go away no diet drug is going to fix it, i never even lost my baby fat. does that mean i'm a cyborg with no ability to process fat? possibly. i got serious over water purity and my appetite went down and i found gold crystals in the water they are pumping weight gain shit in my drinking water, then there are the 'preservatives' in food, yummy more toxins plz. no thanks there is a reason not even insects eat the grain we grow here. all poisoned. sad.

its not different this time. your points are valid, but claiming this is 'new' is wrong,
they never would have been prosecuted at all if someone hadn't been determined to try to right all the wrongs again, and managed to find this group.
