If all ( most ) countries censor it will eventually be turned over to the UN under the guise of WTO compliance and the 'firewall' wont be needed anymore. One world government, here we come.
Freedom: i hope you enjoyed it while we had it.
Id say time to break out Freenet for every day use but the ISPs have effectively neutered that route by introducing bandwidth caps.
And depressing isn't the right word, disgusting is more like it.
Its good that its not free to use, and will spur short term projects that were held back due to licensing.
But is it good long term? Now that its not a money maker, where is the true incentive to keep development happening. Is there enough momentum in the OSS world to keep it alive?
i see it starting to stagnate then eventually get moldy.
Its a good idea if the *hospitals* communicate with each other, but this will just end up being yet another part of the government's datawarehouse on citizens, for the fusion centers to mine.
I stopped looking for them a while ago when all i would ever see were big bulky adapters that needed their own power.. ( sort of defeated the purpose ).
What the goal would be is to have a pretty powerful PDA that would use these devices either via usb or bluetooth so you can take your 'pc' with you, and if you stop somewhere just associate with the display and power where you are sitting for the day.
Add wifi + remote desktop ability to a server somewhere and you can have extra computing power/storage too.
Can i say you ARE a fraud? Not without proof, but i have a right, due to my experience with your services, to tell people i FEEL you are a fraud and you did xyz to me.

That pretty much covers the 'internet too' question the poster posed.
Will they start filtering content? Books, Magazines, Internet...

"legitimate need to upload a two-hour video of good quality"
Who gets to define legitimate?
Damned typos. i meant is NOW free to use..
Blah.

By definition the government is a conflict of interest. Why act surprised?
Is not about 'cool', its about 'facts'.
If there is not content, you cant make it up by tossing bandwidth ( and PC resources ) eating noise.
Vigilantes have no limits on jurisdiction.Also, if you don't follow common laws, you can find anyone.
Sure its extreme, but its needed.
Painful death to the people doing the actual spamming, and complete dissolution of any company caught using spam for advertising.
Hey, someone must have 'stole' the files from my PC. I didn't share anything, oh, and prove i did.
I know, its not technically theft if the originals are left intact, but since people cant seem to figure out the difference its the word i used.
Now i can sleep at night knowing this has been solved.
Ok, pure science is cool, but is it really front page news?

Its a bad thing.
I disagree, they live in their own world, and should be abolished..
Nice try for an anti-bsd comment, but its not the *responsibility* of the 'bsd devs' to support non system applications.
They are responsible for the core system. Everything else is 'extra'.
No, you use the X11 part of the linux port + the non GUI code from the OSX port.
But isn't the validity of those assets hinging on the outcome of the suit?
If they do OSX, its minor to get it to BSD.
What's wrong with you people?
I suppose its better the iWaste
Don't you mean 'fusion center' cloud?
Cool.

Will i finally get a monitor that only needs USB? One less port to deal with.
Next, a wifi or bluetooth monitor.
Yup, gotta keep those citizens down, or they might rise up and blow something up in protest...
On a more serious note, since they are so against anonymity do they also outlaw personal use of encryption technologies?
If true, that should change too.
Please reconsider the purchase of a foreign product.
Thanks.

Unless we lost our right to free speech that is.
