Just to add to your comment, this tactics doesn't work only in USA. It works for all countries worldwide. Google isn't paying its share of taxes in Canada, in France, in UK, in Bolivia, etc because it's supposed to be done in Ireland since this is where customers are paying for the services worldwide. Not only Americans are having good reasons to be upset. Almost everyone worldwide is having the same good reasons.
I agree completely with this comment. I haven't seen yet any in-house documentation database that is valueable at all. Writing good documentation is not an easy task and the guy fixing problems usually just don't know how to write a simple plain non-technical letter. Imagine now he is having to write technical stuff for the next guy knowing nothing about the system or knowing too few about it to be able to ready a few short notes.
To me, the real problem is all the data is lying on servers located in USA. Since I am not a USA citizen, I am anyway submitted to USA laws since the server is in USA. I do not have a right to vote for the USA government, but the USA government is giving itself the right to dig into my data records FB and others are having not choice to give them on a simple request.
Why a citizen of country A should be submitted to laws of country C because he is having friends in country B and the virtually talk together using a server somewhere in country C, because these service companies are no implementing servers elsewhere, or the make sure if they did they replicate back data in USA.
The social network is not country bounded and no country should own the right to dig into all these records. Even the company shouldn't have right to sell them without approval of the real owner.
To summarize, the ideal social network should be composed of a myriad of servers owned by the users in their respective homes. No one will have an automatic right to look at it unless invoking the laws of the country where this personal server is located. The social network, will then be composed of a directory of users, that's it, that's all. Requests to become a friend or subscribe will be sent to the personal server and the individual will be the sole to decide and manage access rights to his content which he will also be the sole owner. Individuals will communicate directly with each others, not via a centralized server and data should be secured.
That's how the future social network should be designed.
Okay, if I understand the way you view things, you would use Gnome if it would have been written to be KDE and the next guy using Gnome would use KDE if it has been written to behave as Gnome. Nice!
Each time KDE or Gnome appear in a discussion, we inevitably refrain the same old things about how nice one is compare to the other. Or, if the guy is polite like you, he says he doesn't use it, but he recommends it to others.
The point in the original discussion is about how Gnome has changed over a decade compare to... itself.
Okay, I must admit, I am a sinner. I still own a 486 bought in 1993, running at 25 MHz and having 16MB RAM. And if not enough for you to hang me I did never ever upgraded it, except a huge extra 350MB disk drive. Within this long period of time, the box received a brand new PS fan, since the former exhausted. This box received Linux 0.92 SoftLanding on these old days and many others since then. It is still running Linux 24/7 and is used as a firewall/router without any problems.
Now, I must also admit it is completely unrelated with the original discussion as are all those about the P3 and the likes.
Writing shitty arguments is immoral!
Money alone won't make a kernel secure neither.
Big corporation backing won't make a kernel secure neither.
In fact, nothing alone won't make a kernel secure. Anything here we didn't already know? Yes, the overall development process is important, but even with the best development process, it won't suffice to make a kernel secure.
BTW, is there any secure kernel out there?
Nobody can really tell. Apple had some requirements at its time which imposed some design decisions which made the PowerPC not evolving the same path as the Power. Apple was targetting the workstations market, while the Power 7 is targetting the servers market. These are pretty different chips and it is far to be sure the PowerPC would have become a long term winner for the workstation and the best performance for the bucks chip.
Easy, if we can capture and decipher a communication (radio) signal, we can reasonably suppose they can do it as well and hence, they are capable to communicate with us as long as we are "speaking" their own language replying and using their own cipher.
And I strongly suspect, even if I am not yet sure, the squids do not emit any radio signal to the galaxy.
So true, I did experience something like this a year ago. I did a contract for a customer about six years ago and did left documentation behind, when I came back five years later to this same customer I did find technical peoples and developers complaining about lack of documentation on something they don't know how to modify it because too complex and badly documented. In fact, there was absolutely no documentation on anything except this very part I did five years before. I did then asked them for a specific document and they did send it to me, this was my own documentation and I did then show them how everything for this part was extensively documented and they had this document since the beginning. They then start complaining about the documentation being too complex... I mean there is way too many words, diagrams and schema in this document!
The article recognizes there is room for large entities, The point is about a large-scale experiment that may fails and drive many other businesses with it.
He may be fortunate his setup last so long. However, I personnally have a PC 486 I bought in 1993 and it is still running 24/7 without a glitch. The only problem I had so far was with the CPU fan I changed about 6-7 years ago. I also have a Pentium 66 running also without a glitch since 1995. This last one has its CPU fan replace, the bracket has broken and I drilled a hole in the mother board to tied the CPU fan and heat sink to the CPU using a iron wire I passed throught the hole and twisted (I did this more than 10 years ago). The other problem I had, the PSU fan died and then the PSU itself died and was replaced about 2 years ago. Beside this, I have no problem with these systems running Linux. The 486 is having 16 MB RAM and the P66 128 MB RAM.
I am seeking to replace my 486 by a Soekris SBC I already have and am in process to build the Linux code for. The P66 will also be eventually replaced by another Soekris SBC after my first one has been done successfully. So, I will retired my old PCs not because they are broken, but only because I can not longer afford the risk of a failure since it is becoming harder to find replacement parts and also because the 486 is a little bit short in RAM for what I want to do with it.
Accordingly to her resume, she is specialized in psyco-sociological support in extreme environments. So, bottom line, these men were fighting for psycological support. I guess, because on the other hand, she is also specialized in prevention of sexual assaults.
True! Just to correct a wrong information in their database about yourself (company) you need a pile of paperwork and legal processing of your request before sending it to them. Conclusion, leave the wrong informations in their database asis and move on. You even cannot just call them to tell them or ask your registrar to do the work.
So, that's time to change this way to do things. This is the reason I have harnessed a whole flock of squirels to run in a large squirel cage linked to a damn big dynamo which produce enough power to fill my needs. And you know what? It just costs me peanuts!
It is not an assumption at all. The theorem just says if free will exists for the experimenter, it also exists for the particle. It doesn't say anything about whether free will exists or not.
It just says that if free will exists, there is no hidden variables quantum theory that can hold into a relativistic world. Which is like saying 1=1. Since an hidden variables quantum theory is in fact proving free will doesn't exist.
By definition randomness is something you have no control over. So, your last statement doesn't make any sense. If you have control over randomness, then there is no longer randomness and you are deterministic without any free will, not the reverse.
I love this one. The bigest assholes are probably those running the companies in first place. See them at work live in Wall Street. What shareholders are asking them is results, no matter how much assholes they are and it pays. Are shareholders assholes as well for asking them to focus on profits alone?

Well, I am mainly writing Web client applications in Java to gain unauthorized access to your desktop.
