Why do these projects all have silly codenames? The codenames are leaked to the press, so they're not really "secret." What other use do they have other than to sound "cool" (aka "goofy")
Microsoft has a "Windows Media Feature Wish List".. at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/wish/wish.asp. Wouldn't it be great if they got flooded with requests for a "don't spy on me and invade my privacy" feature?
I can't wait until we get the real reason... I've heard a number of things. I've heard that the staff was fired, that Johen V. is tired of the project, and a few other speculations.
Supposedly Roman Dirge knew but couldn't say (see forum at spookyland.com)
If Jhonen V. really wants more free time I suppose I could bring myself to leave him well enough alone. As of Saturday, Nick has yet to give an official press release.
*But...* if it's something lame like corporate bastards or even worse, censorship, than I'd like to know so I can email my friends at the EFF etc. and perhaps start some sort of multi-faceted campaign to save the show. I'm more suspicious of censorship, especially with the episode that was banned in the US.
And the obligatory Zim references...
1. I'm pissed off on so many levels... prepare for some DOOM!!!
2. Nick thinks they own all the good cartoons, but they don't, they just don't!
3. I hate Nickelodeon Executives, I hate them so much! Can I go back in time and make it so they were never invented?
I just wonder how many comments posted around the net are posted with the same goals in mind.
[sarcasm]People would never rig comments or posts on the web, don't you trust your users? I mean really, who would ever take advantage of a gaping security hole or flaw? Computer users just want to be happy and friendly, that's why they should use.NET. I love.NET, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, everyone should be using it...[/sarcasm]
There are lots of orgs out there, like the EFF, the ACLU and the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility etc... how about researching existing organizations and supporting ones you agree with? This would make an existing bigger force even bigger. If you can't find one that represents you, then start your own.
