If Microsoft wants to stop selling operating systems, and stop updating operating systems, but you've built your whole company's business model around using MS products, what will you do?
And don't forget to consider the fact that once MS no longer cares about the desktop, and they're no longer selling any, then it can begin finger-pointing along the lines of: "All hacking today is done on locally used platforms, not our Azure services - we can prove it."...and laws begin to form around the same concept.
I don't know of a single, NOT A SINGLE, computer program that works as it's supposed to with other programs. The result is that the IT guy blames the user, the user blames the IT guy.
Computing isn't rocket science (thank god, because otherwise, rockets wouldn't function either). The field is in a constant state of flux, all the time everything is being changed/updated, made to not work, outdated, now you need licenses for shit that never needed licenses before, things are going to the cloud, hardware changes, software changes, etc... This is the well thought out design?
The poor users. The poor sysadmins. wtf? Humanity at it's worst EVER.
Hey hey hey... it sounds to me like you want to lay off all of the good folks at the TSA. Why? They're hard-working Americans. They have families that they love and have to take care of. I mean, they're just like you and I.
I mean, yeah sure, they look at all of their fellow Americans as if they're potential terrorists, and they have been known to cause problems, but it's in the name of security from those that...would...cause...problems...:\
My kid loves to play fortnighte but we keep him busy with other activities, too. Sure, some days he may play fortnighte for a couple of hours straight, but even on those days, he'll self-adjust, and go outside after feeling bored. If all the kids are doing is playing video games, why WOULDN'T they flip out when it suddenly has to stop? It's become their norm. This is how Nature works.
If you're a parent of a kid that's into fortnighte don't be alarmed by news like this, just make sure that your kid(s) have other required activity too. It's just a game folks.
It's in America. There were no lights on the sides, just a 3-sides, rolling sections that would display a different advert each, so there could be 12 different adverts per truck. I found this video that shows what I'm talking about, although it only shows it from the rear.
Facebook has pursued some additional low-tech connectivity efforts. "Street Feet" was an internal effort that paid people in emerging markets to physically approach random people on the street and persuade them to sign up for Facebook.
This would have totally backfired. There was a start-up where I live, like 10 years ago. They had a series of what appeared to be small moving trucks that had been modified to show scrolling advertisements on all sides. Needless to say it was eventually banned by a city ordnance, but before that happened, people would cut the trucks off, brake-check them and just generally give them shit on the road. I imagine that if Facebook hired people to advertise to the general public like that, probably the same, or worse, would happen to them.
Is anyone else tired of hearing about this sort of stuff (malware found in apps or whatever), where no one tells us what apps they determined to be malicious? Well, here ya go.
I think this is designed to be applied to states like Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. I live in Alabama and I can tell you that people will line up for this sort of...thing.
I think that those overlords would like to have everyone think that they know more about you than they really do. Even more so, they'd like their paying customers to think the same.
But yes, they do have access to lots of data on us all.
I see what's wrong here. You and I are talking about 2 different things. You're correct in what you're saying. Man's laws are, in effect, a rule list whereby the default is to allow things, unless they're illegal. I agree.
But yeah, those that like to watch murder happen are bonkers. However I'm not trying to express that the single act alone, of watching a murder happen, should be illegal, nor should being bonkers be illegal (and I think this is the difference between your take, and mine on the soviet union bit). I'm saying that the act of making public, videos of murders happening, should come with consequences. I feel this way because people that enjoy watching murder are bringing themselves closer to acting on that thought. Same thing with people that watch child porn.
These folks that are bonkers for watching murder aren't my opponents. I just think it's gross - like eating buggers. Adults that eat their buggers are bonkers, no? I'll bet you don't eat your buggers.
China has a dictator government, so everything in China is owned by it's government, at least from the government's perspective. Everything tech, from China, should be evaluated.
You seem to advocate that people should only be free to do what the laws specifically allow.
In what way?
Yes, people who behave in non-approved ways clearly have psychiatric problems and, for the good of society, need to be treated - preferably in isolated places where they don't risk to infect the general populace with their madness. There are some great precedents [wikipedia.org] too.
Let me wipe the sarcasm off my eyes... You're comparing: "me saying that people that like to watch murder should go have a mental eval" to "Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union". Why?
No, Ford, the road makers ('road makers'? haha couldn't think of the DOT?) and Shell are in no way involved with the situation that you laid out (what a terrible analogy, dude). Ford has physical items that it assembles, then sells. Once you buy a car, you own it. How is this anything like youtube's business model, where they sell 'eyes looking at a screen' to advertisers? The videos on their site, bring 'eyes looking at a screen' so whether the video is 'good' or 'bad' doesn't bother them. So yes, Youtube has a responsibility to keep their site clean, just like everyone else.
Surprise surprise!! There are actually people in the world that don't want to have to deal with zombie-like idiots that are strung out on drugs, walking around everywhere.
Freedom only functions for those that do what they should do. I really wonder why someone would want to watch a murder happen. If you find some air of interest in watching murder, then I feel like you should maybe go see a psychologist.
In a movie it's one thing - you know it's not real. But to watch it happen for real, and to have the ability to disregard the fact that the murdered is losing their very life, and that they have loved ones that will miss them... the words "narcissist" and "sociopath" come to mind.

Links is great for work, while lynx is great for home.

You, obviously, know more about this than I. I had to look up the word "clade". Thanks!

This isn't killing all frogs, just ones that are susceptible. As the article stated:

Facebook doesn't sell people, silly.
I wonder what else they allow their subscribers* do with their product**.
*anyone who will pay for their product do with their product
**(facebookers data).

Should be called "Orbital Force", or maybe "Solar Force". Space is like, big.
Not true. This article is about Apple still having hardware issues. It's useful information for those that use Apple products.
