RE: we leave our country in favor of a land that offers more freedom and opportunity. Just like our forefathers did.
So.. Where do you plan to go?
Anywhere that is comparable (Canada, Australia, etc...) is being bullied/manipulated/bought by US Gubbermint/Corps.
In a race to the bottom, Canada and Australia are catching-up with the US' retarded laws. I give them 5 - 10 years tops before we are as locked-down and void of "motivated people who want to do Good Things" as the US.
What I worry about is how much manipulation these sponsors will demand. About a year ago, Digg.com did the same and re worked the site. The sponsors started to control content and people noticed. Within 4 months, most users left for another site.
Now, Digg is a shadow of its former self and is spammed regularly. Comments are few and hollow a-la "I agree" or "me too". Content is still controlled to this day.
I live in it little brother up north, the OTHER country of locked phones. (Our regulator is a revolving door to vendors) I was hoping for Motorola droid razr.
1-Imagine if people could get unlimited data plan not for their Smartphone but at home. 2-Imagine if many (not most or all) people offered limited but free WIFI to Cell phones. (Don't ask how, just follow me on this) 3-Few people would need a data plan at all on their SmartPhones 4-Cell phone providers would have to lower their rates or die.
However, with great corruption comes draconian laws. Therefore, cell phone providers have little to fear.
Any idiot who thinks otherwise and sets up a pr0n site will soon be filtered out and go out out of business.
Yet another version, still no MSIs or GPOs

Firefox 8.0 Released

I know FF is multi-platform but you cannot even make GPOs an add-on. (It kinda defeats the purpose if the user can uninstall the add-on!)
Meanwhile in bug 267888 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267888) there are still talking about creating ADM files. ADM files are for Windows XP, when this bug was created 7 years ago!!!) Windows 7 uses ADMX files.
But it doesn't matter now. The people that need MSI/GPO cannot handle Full versions of FF coming out every 2 months. They have enough trouble keeping up with "patch Tuesday" from MS.
To all those people asking "Why do you hate MS so much?" This is why.
When MS bought Skype I told people that Skype would die soon *because* MS bought it. Didn't know how or when but soon. Now, MS will kill all the various clients that made Skype ubiquitous and useful. The new Skype will not run on as many platforms and (in true MS EEE fashion) will not work with previous versions either
Like Metalica, and Hurt Locker, Skype will now be shunned. A new *open* protocol will take over.

This is the "Stupid test" indeed.
Whistleblower or white-hat hacker. It doesn't matter they will prosecute you the same.
BBQ = BlackBerry QNX
QNX (cue-nix) is the OS they are putting on the BlackBerry.
It would stick in people's mind like BBQ sauce to your shirt.

IOW: Digg is now a Web 2.0 billboard.
I don't want a repeat.

Whistleblowers are not kindly regarded in these times.
Otherwise you'd have real news "a-la-deep-throat"
Keep you head down and don't deal with the company.
Where does one buy such a phone that is not locked down at the onset WITH warranty?
Since career politicians are bought and sold should we refer to them for what they truly are: Political Products.

Now with HTML5 becoming the the preferred nuisance apparatus, can we create something to block them browser side?

to access undocumented APIs.
MS has been known to used them.
IOW, you are saying MS is now a rich Zombie of a corporation?
This explains why they were asking for smart people. (Braaaiiins, needs Braaaiiins)
Great idea big brother!
Better yet, let's put one in your head instead.
That way the police, government, your employer and your wife will always know where you are.

Google just has to say NO.
None but he helped "rebel" against the king.
In those days that was treason.
But thanks to SureView, all his plans and "accomplices" were "dealt with"...
You nailed that astroturfer!
I guess TechLA will not be getting his free Windows gadget after this gaff.
They know what is right but they will look the other way for money.
