'Small towns' dont need your 'saving'. Some of us like 'small town America'. We moved away from the city for a reason. you can keep it, and your concepts to yourself and leave us alone. We dont need the crime, filth, taxes, traffic jams, etc.
Sure mod me down, but im not alone in my feelings.
While i realize you were trying to be funny, KDE doesnt tie the browser into any OS. its tied into the DE.. Quite a difference there. ( still potentially dangerous, as the DE has a lot of rights at the system level, but it is different )
At some point the government will just reqire them to hand over the data, under threat of jail time for contempt. So this is all just for show. " see we fought for your privacy".
What they are not thinking about is the ramifications later of pissing off the man. The government has a long memory. ( espcially since once you elect someone they tend to stay for life..
They put out service packs for 2000 after XP came out..
Or NT after 2000 came out.
While the product is still under 'support', you can expect fixes to come out. Support doesnt end on day 1 of the release of a new version, in the real world.
Perhaps they should just ask the NSA for what records they have of people searching Google..
And if you think they just want to look for porn searches, then you are fooling yourself. " all searches in a time period" sounds more like just porn fishing to me.
It doesn't matter if you run a couple of percentages faster if you aren't stable.
PPC is stable. Intel/AMD does not have a history of being stable with THIS architecture. The ix86 architecture was flawed from the day intel decided to put backwards compatibility on the top of the requirement list.
Not saying intel couldn't do better. Anyone remember the i432? They had the ability, but instead decided to go with a crippled chip.
Glad i live in the US where corporations are put in their place when they get out of line.. Remember the anti trust suit? Oh wait.... nevermind.. 'welcome to the club China'.
Ya, today we have non stop porn, viruses, spam, rampant phishing, crime, idiots, higher bills ( i paid less per month then i do now )... what a deal..
Before this 'wonderful internet' that you seem to think we have: we also had useable public forums ( that werent spam laden ), realtime communication, email, things such as archie to get 'whatever we wanted'.. Even the weather in many cities was a simple gopher away... And it wasnt hard at all to get on-line, if you were worthy enough. Dont forget there was a BBS in every corner of the civilized world. All it took was a dumb terminal and modem. Most of the time it didnt even cost you.
Mouseclicks to get you there? Well, you got me there i guess now that we have mice im all wet...
All kidding aside, i do agree there is more today then there was before, but there is far more garbage. As far as im concerned the garbage outweighs any of the 'advancements'.

"Stop Searching"
Forget the stock price, do you approve of the government looking into your searching habits? I dont.
Remember when it was said ' they would never do that' just a couple of years ago when echelon was all the talk? Welp, welcome to 'never'.

Will it let you view non protected content that you make yourself? ( like a pdf.. )
I know, its somewhat OT, but when will we start seeing this wonderful aerogel in civilian products?

Its not like the 'big change' hasn't happened before.
Some of us remember the good old days days, before it was commercialized in the first place. That day was the beginning of the end.
Sounds more like the mob then a 'common carrier'.
Does this mean they also lose that status, since they are mananaging the data now? Scary concept for future privacy ( of what we have left anyway )
I was making a sarcastic joke. ( designed to make people think )
While i agree with you totally in concept, you didnt see the sarcasm in my post.
Since when does starbucks offer computers to use?
Havent you heard? If you have nothing to hide, you shouldnt be hiding.
What are you, a terrorist or something?
RAID is not a backup.. RAID is not a backup.
RAID was created to reduce downtime. it is not, nor was it ever, intended to be a backup system.
Get yourself a big tape drive.. Sleep soundly. Be happy
Pirate.
So if you try to pirate your copy of OSXi and it fails you will become an 'irate customer'?
That makes a lot of sense. The are prolly better off without you.
Except in that case there was some unfair monopoly issues involved.
In apples case, the market share is far to small to be even considered for that.. So they can bundle as much as they want.
If its not apple hardware, its not a newton.
No, but our lawyers do.
It's not that important for *slashdot* to post this stuff. its like preaching to a really small choir.
What needs to be done is the mainstream media to post..
That will show the EU who is in charge around here.
They dont need GPS.
it was their fault for being idiots. Cant train a rock. Besides, its wasnt my job to train rocks. We had a training department for that.
End of discussion, you bore me.
