How do you *know* they were not listening. Just because they were not communicating back, yet, doesn't mean they were not listening. Remember too that the world does NOT revolve around you and what you want right this very second. I assume you stand in line at your local burger doodle and complain that you had to wait for your meal?
True, a better policy would be more active interaction, but what happened the last few days was unacceptable behavior on the part of posters too.
There *are* graphical dev tools out there ( check out ETL and workflow designers for example ) but sometimes, writing 10 lines of code is more efficient than putting 10 widgets on the screen, drawing your connectors, then setting up your variables. ( plus the run-time overhead )
Taxes are used to subsidize the companies and content. Commercials are provided during the programming, which provide revenue. ( this is how broadcast TV, and radio, worked for decades. I assume you are too young to remember a time before cable and content monopolies so this concept may be a bit beyond your understanding )
I think the industry has been its own undoing, as efficiency has increased, prices have dropped and its been harder and harder to make money even tho PCs still sell. If you cant move the volume you cant survive.
We may end up with a single company making them here soon.
Ok, no one likes the new Slashdot that is coming, we all get that, and Slashdot staff knows by now too. Now shut the hell up. Acting like whiny children isn't going to get anything done, get back on topic and start acting like adults.
Really needs to step in and stamp this nonsense out since the FCC is clearly inept ( or corrupt ).
Its are very rare cases where a state protected monopoly is appropriate, where fractured markets and incompatibility will harm consumers, but physical internet access is NOT one of them.

You have to have *permission* to ask for help?? And you all thought the US was draconian..

Sounds pretty front door to me. Poor terminology understanding by the non-technical, or intentionally making it sound more scary.
People will end up not going to the doctor, or an underground medical system will arise.
Regardless of your product, it should not be your responsibility for doing background checks on all your customers and making judgment calls.

It all depends on what you are doing.
What gives you the idea its free?

Should step in and stop the monopolistic abuse.
So maybe this shift will engender a resurgence of very slow systems designed for hobbyists to built from scratch.

I didn't say when.. only that they did.
IBM sold all theirs off, HP/Compaq have merged, and Dell, who knows what is going on with that.

No, its built off Mach kernel, not the FreeBSD kernel.
BSD comes into play with a large chunk of user-land.The graphical subsystem and GUI are custom.
I guess its a way to get more ad revenue or something. It cant be for aesthetic or usability reasons.
I'm sure its GPL since its tax payer sponsored...

It was planned. At least the fire was, who knows what was the planned destruction and what was collateral damage.
but if we always act solely in fear of the dystopia we'll simply be stagnant forever.
With how things are progressing into oblivion, some stagnation sounds pretty good right about now.
As well as the authorities.
No, he was a criminal. He tried to arrange a murder. It has nothing to do with politics.
( ok i guess technically hes just accused, but if hes convicted then yes, hes a criminal )
It spurs their belief that people really want their product, but just aren't willing to pay for it.
Which is often true.
yay!
Actually, they can sue. Does not mean they will win, but they can. They just don't, at least at the federal level that i have heard of.
"Feel right"? Feelings have no place in this. Cold hard facts are all that should be driving your business.
