Between people just buying the 'shiny package' that is on sale, and business that are forced to upgrade then get caught in the scam, it wont be so simple as 'just dont buy it'.
Choice doesnt apply when you hold most of the market in your grasp. You get to make the long term rules.
Is often banned in the office. So that is easy to deal with. And if you are on my network, you are either approved or you get your connection pulled. Good admins dont have 'live' connections just laying around.
For case #2, if you are improperly using company equipment you get written up or fired. Besides, unless you are an admin you wouldnt have rights to install the drivers in the first place..
Sounds like the original poster needs to crack down a bit in general.. If he can..
Oh, I'm quite aware of the same thing going on here too. I didnt mean to say it was *only* Germany.. It was just an easy example.
Its still wrong too. Banning expression of ideas is wrong. Be them 'hate' or 'love'. Religions have plenty of hate in them, where does the line get drawn?
1 - I'm against the UN both functionaly and conceptionally. My original post was about function, but doesnt mean i cant dislike them fundamentally.
2 - If the *few* things it *might* have done ok doesnt directly benefit me and my country, then its irrelevant to me and a waste of resources.
3 - "foot in the door", i do understand how the network functions. The 'foot' would be more of a political control issue, where they control by demands and threats to its member nations, not by actual hard 'network control'. Much as they are doing inconjuction with the WTO. ( another body that should be ignored ).
Once the control of the TLD's is gained, they will start branching out into mandating items such as content control and privacy/rights invasion, with no regards for the local laws of the individual members. It wont stay with 'just' control of the TLD. Controlling bodies never stop with a little control.
If they do this, can we just f-ing split off from the rest of the world, accessing external countries via some sort of UN portal?
I dont want them messing with things here, they have a really bad track record of doing accomplishing anything, and they have no business telling US what to do.
Besdies they dont acknowledge several of our guaranteed rights here in America.
If all we have are tethered E-books, who is to say that overtime 'facts' are not being changed to suit whomever is in power at the time?
Or what happens when the government or school decides a 'book' is unacceptable? It happens all the time, where books are pulled from the shelves and 'banned' from students.
At least with real paper books you can fight against both of these problems. Unless they start burning 'unacceptable information', the original book will transcend being banned or 're-written'.
It is the responsibility of everyone to give me what I want, how I want it, and when I want it.
I am the only one that actually matters.
Back to the subject at hand, I was actually considering helping these people, until i got grief from the likes of you weirdos. I might even have paid off the bill entirely for them.
And to re-clarify, *I* am all that matters. And once the rest of you get that through your thick skulls your lives will be a lot happier.
Excuse me, they are asking for money. If I'm to donate MY money the damned project better benefit ME.
Its pretty simple.
Why should i have to search for 'more info' when they are asking for donations? A responsible 'news service' would happen to explain what the hell the subject was about. Other than just a blurb 'we are drupal and we want your money'.
Get off your high horse, idiot. Who the hell do you think YOU are? Not someone with some sense, obviously.

So its now 90% of all email, but what % of all internet traffic is email and ad popups/banners?

This isnt a troll, ( though it may sound like it ) but is the alpha port really that important now?
In its day alpha was the king of the hill, but in this day of dirt cheap ix86, is the alpha worth spending time on?
Sure if what you got works, dont toss it out.. But why beat it with a stick if its dead?
And which one of those effect me? None. Most were a waste of time and energy.
What does domain control have to do with 'internet control'? Its the foot in the door.
Perhaps this can be used as a cheap 3D capture camera for other objects.
Right now 3D scanners are rather expensive and out of the range of most hobbyists.
If they do this, can we just f-ing split off from the rest of the world, accessing external countries via some sort of UN portal?

Dont laugh, that is coming. Google already has to filter out stuff for places like germany:
"we cant have nazi stuff available to our citizens... nope... history is bad".
The 'media' is going to destroy what is left of our freespeech.. Its amazing..
But lose the war..
Morons. It will be a good thing when the war is finally over, and the entire entertainment 'industry' is out of business.
Perhaps then we can line them all up against the wall.
Which 1/3 does this study fall under?
This is a prime example of only having electronic archives..
In one moment, a piece of 'history' is gone forever. Be it from a suit, or a 'change in opinion'.
Does it matter in this case? Who knows, but the principle is the same.
Paper books are good. Paper books are important.
My post was based off the story summary.
If that makes my post 'uninformed', then blame the editors, not me.
PS, dont throw stones... ( no, i wont explain that to you. )
Couldnt get to the article. So bite me.
That is a problem by itsself.. this stuff shouldnt 'just fall off'..
If it had come off in orbit, we might be going thru the loss of another crew on reentry.
Assuming for a moment this garbage is true, who says Intel has to fairly support their *competition*? ( or at all )
Last i heard , they were not declared a monopoly ( i could be wrong here ), and if that is still true they dont *have* to do diddly.
When you have a nice cool running ARM chip?
I remember when we bought these things 20 years go, and called them 'vrglasses'.
Sure, a bit more advanced. But it goes to show you, the more we think we change, the more we repeat history.
If all we have are tethered E-books, who is to say that overtime 'facts' are not being changed to suit whomever is in power at the time?

No, you are wrong.

If you are the example of 'their targeted audience', then i hope they go under.

Thanks for wasting my time. You do much for their cause.
I had not heard of it until now.. Why do i care about this project? What was its place and its goals?
