Hmm then what is this 'Ionic breeze' thing sitting beside me that is blowing air around my room with no fans or other moving parts? Or the industrial electrostatic cleaners that have been around for decades longer?
New application of really old technology would be a bit more accurate.
Thats one reason VHS won out over Beta.. For the average joe "good enough" is how they live their lives, and they make up most of any large consumer market.
While it is true that MP3 ( or cd, ) doesn't really have the same quality of sound as ultra high end analog, it is 1000x more convenient, and sounds 'good enough' to get by.
I bet in the long run it will be a bad thing. THe government doesnt do anything out of the good for the people, so you have to assume there is a catch here.
Perhaps there are ultimately more restrictions if you are labled a journalist then you are a private citizen. There HAS to be an angle here.
Right, there may be a minor bloody nose durng this fight, ( with how everything is patented somewhere by someone these days, that cant be avoided ) but i dont expect a major fight coming out of this.
Besides, sun isnt a bad company. They have done a lot for the commercial OS world, CPU architecture, open source, pretty much everyone. We really shouldnt wish ill will to them.
Well, my local storage is available via my home cable internet connection anywhere google-data would be ( and securely too ). I can also run any application i want remotely, and im not stuck with what some 'hosting service' has to offer.
When you are being bred to be a bunch of mindless controllable sheep?
A country of dishwashers and burger flippers dont really need an advanced education.
Eventually it will backfire of course, when the country slips into place as a 3rd world nation that cant even support itself. But until then, it keeps the ones in power, in power.
With a bit of luck it will kill the entire net for days, perhaps weeks.
Then perhaps something might actually be done about this nonsense once and for all. The only way something will get done is if hits the pocket books of enough 'big players'
Since when does a *software company* get to comment on global issues such as this? Are they trying to assume the role of the federal government now?
Don't we have a new rule in place that if you are 'in the way' of the war you get sent to jail? Can we send these idiots away now? I don't care if they are right or wrong, they are an American company and should support the country they owe their existence to..

This nonsence is really getting old.
Who really cares if there is some copyrighted code in there? Really, no one cares but the attorneys.

Well considering even our planet began by congealing particles in space, why is this even a discussion point? Of course we came from 'space'.
They are in total denial of reality.
This is why i dont even bother with it at all?
Unless you know the answer, you cant trust what you read. And if you already know, why are you reading it?

Ya, that inspires confidence in his other findings.

Its mostly made up of attorneys. ( at least the parts that have control )
Its the government, there is *always* an angle.

That is about it too, aside from excelling in steaing what they eventually market well.
No, but they might just clone them.
The probem is that its step one towards mandatory filtering, with the government down there deciding what is allowed thru and what isn't.
Plus if ou get caught tryng to access something forbidden, the ISP just might have to report you.

So it sounds like it was a relevant post to me.

Old school USSR was socialist. China and Cuba, i will agree with you on as being more communist. ( but nothing is *pure* )
You also forgot the USSA, they are borderline socialist as well.
Its illegal in Australia apparently.
So dont eat your China-Iphone.
Like 10g nano clones with FM transmitters.. Or tons of other items, most at much lower cost then in the rest of the world.
But you cant get them here. ( and i bet the quality is pretty poor too )
I dont think anyone is really suprised.
PostgreSQL is still free and more powerful anyway so no great loss.
That pretty much seals the fate for the 'official' BT. So long and thanks for all the fish.
