  1. FTFY on Google Releases More Windows Bugs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean the whole point of doing these types of investigations is to slap the competition in the face.

    No.

    In effect, and in actuality, Google is being competitive.

    Actually, Google's paradigm shift from "cool" to "fool" coincides with their date of IPO.

    Shareholders are in it for the money and every other consideration is off the table.

    Aggravating that shift is the shareholders' "me ... now" short-term vision of making infinite amounts of money in an extremely short period of time.

    Look at Bezo's long term vision of making profits at Amazon at some distant date and the shareholders' diminished enthusiasm.

    Talented employees who made those companies blossom, and who took low pay in trade for stock options, get pissed off after the post-IPO corporate assholes enforce standard hours, reduce perks, and shift the focus from R&D to revenue production.

    No ... the problem is much clearer than the fallacious argument by increasing degree.

    If you personally want to draw cartoons of Muhammad after being specifically told you will be killed, then do so.

    If you personally want to travel to Germany and openly deny the Holocaust, then do so.

    While you're at it, announce your intentions to buy some crack in Chicago.

    I am making the point that you can draw cartoons of Muhammad or go to Germany and deny the Holocaust, just appreciate that, like the movie "Titanic," the ending is predictable and it does not turn out well and stuff.

    I'd say that if a person told me they would kill me for making cartoons of Mohammed, taking up residence in a cemetery would not be an option.

    Wrong.

    For reference, see the ongoing crap from right wing evangelical Christian wingnuts regarding women's reproductive rights, same-sex marriage, young Earth, Intelligent Design, anti-evolution in schools, prayer everywhere (for Christians).

    People pick the parts of their religion that fits their agenda.

    And the defense can accomplish this best by doing very little while letting the prosecution lead the jury through the muddy waters.

    Sorry, that's not right.

    Some editors hit a gold mine when they exploited an incendiary hot button for prophet. Meanwhile, some assholes pretending to be owners of the hot button saw a chance at gaining notoriety and went all batshit crazy.

    The total population of all involved is very small, indeed.

    So do you feel comfortable with extrapolating the actions of a few wing nuts and applying that to the of the population of the planet?
