He is making noise about common carriers that are refusing to move is product based on it's potential to produce a weapon.
If they are common carriers they are not able to deny service based on a political view. That is like an ISP trying to block all republican sites on the Internet because they are owned by democrats. Which I can now say because the FCC has applied common carrier status to ISP's and called it "Net Neutrality" lol
Your windows delusion is grand for an anonymous coward! Having spent the better part of 20 years working as a Linux professional I can tell you that all the fortune 500 and above companies have, use, and enjoy Linux. It is well supported, COTS apps are all over the place, and the OSS tools are well documented within the companies where they are used. They are far better documented than the custom internally developed apps for windows that every company has.
Windows has it's place in business just a Linux does. No one OS can do it all perfectly and any manager/person who claims that all your problems can be solved by switching to (Linux/Windows/Mac/Solairs/HP-UX/AIX) should be fired on the spot!
Seems to me they could simply find and hire the right IT guy.
Hell, for the right amount of money I would do what ever they wanted. Drop me a couple of million and Ill give them a network and services that are close to untraceable and allow for the management of their business with little worry of the DEA figuring it out. I'd even include classes to teach there guys how to maintain security.
I originally posted that tongue in cheek. The company I'm at, as well as many I know of, is running some 2003 and most are 2008. They are starting to move to 2012 and the windows admins are having a fit because there is no GUI and they can't just RDP into the system.
This has lead to "Your the Unix guy, you know command line stuff. Why don't you take over running these windows servers? They're just like Linux."
They think they are technical because the can navigate a gui, click on a button, and fill in a field. However they have no clue where the data is stored or what is going on under the GUI.
Hmm, that describes most windows admins. Wonder what they will do when windows goes command line and the GUI is no longer installed by default?
Seeing as the government runs the high schools (Public schools) you would have the government teach future business owners, doctors, lawyers, and politicians ethics.
There is no way that could ever turn into an epic failure. Sounds like a great, well thought out solution.:P
Would you add more government and government regulations (Option 1 and 4 plus 2 to pay for it) to solve what you see as the issue with Private industry?
Have you ever heard of an Escrow? In not you should look it up, lord knows I got an escrow on my house. It did not release the funds tell the inspectors and I signed off that the house was built right.
Same applies to buying with bitcoin. Use an escrow and you get your goods, the seller gets there coin, and the escrow provider get a small amount for handling the deal.
LOL, I bought $300 in bitcoin @ $0.50 a coin. Some time ago I sold off some of my holdings and bought 12.5 acres of land.
Mine is not in the millions, hell it is not even a million right now. But I have a bunch of bitcoin stored for later. Maybe it will make it to the millions, maybe not. Any way you look at it, I won on this investment.
How do you determine that they have never engaged in risky behavior? Have you ever asked a partner about all there past sexual experiences? Have you ever been tested for HIV? If not and if you have had sexual partners in your life then you may have been exposed. Considering the fact that 14% of the people with HIV do not know they have it. Your partner may not even know they have it and may have never been tested to find out.
The only "risky" behavior is having unprotected sex without knowing the persons status via testing.

Hay, I was. I downloaded the code posted to usenet and installed Slackware 0.99b
There are a few of us old farts still around! We remember when Microsoft still produced a stable OS called DOS. lol
Commodore 64 had GEOS in 1986
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
So Apple and Commodore beat them to the punch. lol
Hmm I dont own a ford, The Edison light-bulb has been replaced by CFL's, and I quit using Microsoft back in 1995.
You have to love progress!
Wow, I still have a copy of Minix 1.5, full reference manual and the 5.25" floppies it came on. Minix was a Great OS, even on the XT's.
Windows phones and Tablets are less than 3% of the market. Why even develop for such a small market share?
Android (Which is linux) has 51% of the phone market and 61% of the tablet market.
It's not the year of the Windows Phone or Tablet, just like it is not the year of the linux desktop. :P
Ill agree with this, I am using a $9 keyboard that I have had for 7 years.
It is so well used that the following keys have no letter on them, they have rubbed off over the years.
sdfghlcnmertyo'"~123456-= (Caps Lock is now "ps lock") (Backspace is now just "Ba ")
I really don't think an expensive top of the line keyboard is needed. Grab you a cheap on that feels good to you and use it.
How the hell do you connect an "Unmodified" original NES to the network? They did not even have network capabilities.

The guy posts a good comment and you pick on his use of the word "to"
Heres your video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Yes, but the ITAR laws prohibit it.
You should know by now that the Constitution is just a piece of paper that no one pays attention to.
Is this the year of the Windows phone?
You mean like companies looking for 10 years experience in Windows 2012 or 10 years experience in RHEL 7?
Will it be the year Microsoft takes the smart phone market from Android (aka:Linux)?
This is starting to sound a lot like the year of the Linux desktop.
That was worth the laugh!

Ill add that my skills go to the highest bidder. Wonder what the government would pay for me not to help them. lol

No they are not Techies they are "Power Users"
They think they are technical because the can navigate a gui, click on a button, and fill in a field. However they have no clue where the data is stored or what is going on under the GUI.

Tell me, what is the solution?
Would you add more government and government regulations (Option 1 and 4 plus 2 to pay for it) to solve what you see as the issue with Private industry?
"The message here is that if politicians don’t come up with solutions to the other problems in the list, they are a risk in and of themselves."
Really?
So lets see. Government only has 4 solutions to every problem.
1) Pass a law making it illegal.
2) Tax it
3) Declare war on it
4) Throw money at it and hope it goes away
Which solution do you think they should use on these issues?
The problem is, that would be illegal

They can not just search mail, does not matter if it is a dog or opening the letter and inspecting it.
