You know what I meant;) Our markets aren't perfect like the fact the Microsoft is dominate in operating system but they do work given time, as Linux has established a strong core and is extending as we speak from there. Going to committee nullifies that are we are all poorer for it.
Google is a private company that lives and dies on the whims of the market. If they are incompetent and start to screw up their index, who knows it may happen, then people will leave. Geez, imagine if everything somebody didn't like had to be regulated? There is no law against being successful, well there shouldn't be unless you think like a loser. And furthermore, once you start regulating more than is absolutely necessary by "committee" you introduce inefficiencies into our wonderful free market system. Which may not be perfect but it gives us such an advantage that it would be stupid to throw it away over sour-grapes.
This is why I don't take moderation here seriously, an overrated mod when I haven't been modded up or down? Even though it does contribute information not present in the summary: an opinion? And is not a troll? Now that is just a way of saying "I don't agree with you." Thank you for making that decision for everyone Mr. Modder. Now, waste your points on this reply if you must, I have karma to burn as I've been around this block. Plurality is a lesson that has not been tempered here.
How could you verify a signal from overseas? Getting into grassy-knoll conspiracy theories between nations but this is government we're talking about, no stupidity is too great.

Now come on, you didn't even provide a link. Many stories are rejected from Slashdot, especially mine which shouldn't be. It's all about finding the appropriate forum. This one is "News for Nerds, stuff that matters." I just don't understand why all my stories keep getting rejected...! Anyway, posting with my name because I also don't believe in the karma system so much (but still a little) and next time, PROVIDE a link!
As the article mentions, they are trying to find the balance where you feel secure but they can spy on you if in their infinite wisdom they feel it is necessary. Yay, government in a democracy.
"To do this while supposedly concerned about privacy..."
Duh. Paint me yellow and let me run down the street. OF COURSE he is concerned about privacy because we all know how organizations always act fast and in the interests of their customers with absolutely no outside stimulus! Absolutely shocking, he should be hanged. (Choose whoever you think I'm referring to with "he")
Do they actually realize that anyone with half a brain-cell thinks they look like idiots? Wait till they make their ultimate security policy: no passengers allowed on planes.
:D;) Wiki Metaphysics. What makes a rock a rock and not just a collection of atoms. Its taking pieces and drawing an abstract boundary around them. We call such groupings many things.
So, globally, considering the number of bacteria, could they be the most advanced intelligence? Of course being loosely coupled their time-scale of thought would be extremely slow. They would also exist in a reality very much different than ours.
But then again, once you get inclusive and start using words like "ecosystems" then you can "sum" the "intelligence", everything only has meaning in relation to something else. Together, Earth, is a mind.
And I'm an idiot to this day. Any employer who would hold a youth mistake against you is also an idiot. Especially when you can google their name in return... Nobody is free of skeletons, just try not to have some real bad ones.
Say no thanks, explain to them that you can best serve the company with your interests in the position you are already in for the moment. If they let you go this will demonstrate lack of wisdom on their part and you would be better served by someone new. Although, of course, the transition is never pleasant.
I just downloaded: Eraser. I'm running the erase free space on all my drives now. Let them come for me. If they say I am destroying evidence I will counter with innocent until proven guilty. I am enhancing my privacy in case totalitarian-ist thought comes and tries to railroad me into something I am not guilty of.
With open-source rendering images already well established and continually improving that only leaves the content areas under-developed. This method will allow anyone with an object to digitize it. This will enable people to take that content and then mix it in virtual environments. Throw in some voice-synthesis software, some directing software, and a million monkeys hammering away at plots then Hollywood as an institution is dead. This is another piece, the others will fall into line as well. It is ironic in that in one of the Civilization games, discovering the Internet invalidates the Hollywood Wonder.
Aggregate information can be used to spot any trend with the appropriate algorithm. Aggregate information may also not be completely private, again, with the appropriate algorithm. The balance I believe is to release aggregate information to trusted neutral parties only. They will only be trusted if they have a mandate to not employ algorithms that seek to negate privacy. However, and being neutral, they must also have a mandate to uphold their principles or purpose to be given the information to begin with. I would like to see neutral parties with the purpose of the public interest established.
I'm actually promoting newspeak from 84. But with a key difference, the retention and accessibility of what came before. I believe we do need to constantly revise what we believe to remain relevant but I do not believe it should be centralized as that is despotism. Shameless plug, see my signature for a mechanism that would provide a neutral debating forum full of checks and balances to offset human nature. It is inspired from the real world, see the link to the values page, and I see it as a piece of the solution to rampant ignorance and corruption in our society. Slashdot almost gets there, but not quite, as a debating method.
It's part of the solution at least! You establish monitoring first then you chip away at it until neutral parties have access to the information. Everything is summed by what preceded it, if manipulated skillfully the advantages can be tipped in the favor of the public interest. All you need is debate and advocacy. Shameless plug, please see my sig.
Excellent! A little deeper digging has revealed: The Transparent Society (Google Books, preview a bit online!) which is a non-fiction work by him, an author of the caliber of mind to successfully have made his predictions in Earth. It is summarized on this wiki page: Here. Now I will admit that I have not read that particular work but I trust Brin as enough of an authority that I will assume its mostly good! Now I am going to have to go and peruse that text!;)
MOST importantly the wiki page specifically mentions the war on the "Gnomes!" So The Transparent Society will cover the reasoning in non-fiction!

As Techdirt stated, this story was: Vetted By Malnourished Monkeys. Apparently the same this happened here. Yay.

As a Canadian I hope we do not lose the national treasure of having the Pole anytime soon!

That is pragmatic and is of equal insight to what I happened to be rated.

If they let you go this will demonstrate lack of wisdom on their part and you would be better served by someone new. Although, of course, the transition is never pleasant.
And conversations such as this counter-expose them for what they really are. Cementing here the evils they represent from my values.

Bob, did you see that? Bob: Nope, it was never there. This is useful for interpretation but it is not a molecular scan of a crime-scene.
