That is fine so long as they then declare to the customers via a huge poster: We provide the internet, but netflix won't stream in any useful manner. They can watch the customers walk in and right out the door. If by some special business logic they decide not to share this information with their customers then they can wait until customers start posting reviews online and then canceling their subscription. Now if their price is reasonable for THIS particular service then some may be willing to accept that and the ISP can see how they fit into the market place.
A customers job is to decide if the service they pay for is worth the cost. The ISP, and really any business, needs to understand that relationship and not get all pedantic and bitchy about customers doing things that the provider doesn't like.
From what I understand they seem to believe we are using the polio vaccine as a way to make the population infertile. Just one of many problems in Pakistan.
But the dossier, released by the Director of National Intelligence's office, claimed: "PRISM is not an undisclosed collection or data mining programme. It is an internal government computer system used to facilitate the government’s statutorily authorized collection of foreign intelligence information from electronic communication service providers under court supervision, as authorised by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
The only wrong doing here was the government using rubber stamp judges, in secret, and not wanting to see any sort of public discourse on the details of these issues. Administration: why can't you just trust the secret panels, the officials in charge of these programs, and the congressmen who were informed!
That is the most praise you will typically hear about windows 8: you can basically ignore all their new features. Which, in some ways is analagous to gnome3 to a certain extent - at least for me, and only then when I ignore the modernist take on Alt-Tab.
As opposed to facebook which set the share prices way too high and gave no one else proper voting rights... this guys is a total head case. He should just absolve it all, give what money back he can, and move on. I got through most of page one but I do not even know if I want to read the rest to see if he redeems himself in any way.
My question: he posted his PGP public key, is that enough evidence to try to find and bust him? If I was him, i wouldn't care at all if someone else wanted to claim credit.
Just in case someone else tries to take credit for my work: My PGP public key
You could just as easily put two europeans in the back seat instead. Sometimes stereotypes are real, sometimes they are rude exagerations, and sometimes they change.
I have no idea if you are just completely trolling or if you think you are serious... I have seen Ubuntu 12.04 systems with ATI HD3450 cards working perfectly fine - without needing the proprietary drivers. My system is a Fedora 16 box with a 4670 card and it also runs perfectly fine and doesn't need the proprietary drivers at all. I did a live boot of Fedora 18 and it ran fine though I have not done the install yet. I have no idea how you would want to say they are "fucking busted." Unless you specifically mean that in your delusional rage you cannot possibly run the regular drivers and thus attempt to use the proprietary drivers and these fail in some manner making everything "totally FUCKING BUSTED" for some reason. Wow... but hey those functional drivers must be a "peice of shit."
Many things changed since you had to "compile and tweak libproffer0.2.3". Today Linux just works, and for me personally it is much easier to use than Windows. So, "My family time is limited and I'd rather be spending it with them" than uninstalling "Antivirus 2000" trojan or Ask.com toolbar.
So true. It has just worked for me for a few years now. Ever since the early pulseaudio disaster. I would add to what you said: being able to buy/build typical cheap PCs at reasonable prices. That are towers.
I understand that some might like OS X and Apple products but they do not make anything equivalent to what I have purchased. For the times that they have come close it is not at prices I was willing to pay. Seriously: even an Ipod was twice the price of the Sansa for the same size/style of player. Is $75 or $150 really a choice for a player that has less audio codec support?
I am just surmising that you meant RMS based on the "other ecosystems" comment? He is a different person than ESR. You know that right? Seriously look it up.
Aside from that little thing... It would be arguable if he has indeed "got more legitimate cred" but arguing with an AC is just not worth it. Raymond's past projects list is nothing to scoff at. To speak contemptibly about the work of Stallman would also be disingenuous merely because he, umm, eats toe jam and is loved madly by the crazies on/g/. Come to think of it for you to have any validity to what you said you would indeed have to be thinking of ESR - and then only arguably. Damn now I am arguing with an AC. Fail.
Hilarious. Our town painted lines on the roads for bicyclists. Apparently they should've also painted stop at the appropriate locations because the idiots don't remember what a stop sign or a stop light is.
No kidding. He is a programmer, right? Which typically means he has a combination of books he could use to get to the appropriate height he wants. I did this for quite a while. Now however, at home, I am happy with one monitor. Which conveniently is height adjustable. This guy could do the same if he put the laptop off to the side or in a laptop hammoc on the side of the desk. A 27" at 2560x1440 is pretty comfy. Google/duckduckgo for ars or some other guide... If it was sitting on the desk to the side, when connected, the laptop could become the secondary monitor for GUI debugging, etc, if that helps with his work. But yea this is a rather lame ask/. question. The guy might as well waste his day looking at battlestations or something.
It should probably be tossed, or revamped. From what I understand (which comes from stories like this) kids need help from the very start. By the time preschool rolls around it is (largely) too late. Are we to ask the government to go into the houses of the newborn to two years old and have social workers talk to children? Now what I would propose as acceptable: subsidizing day cares for the working poor so that their children could be well cared for during the day time and have greater standards and practices for those in day care so that they try to do things (like using a greater vocabulary) that nurture these youngsters in a proven healthy manner. Not just feed and wipe them. We can't just throw money at problems, we need to understand the problems. Correction, we do not need to, we can just keep going deeper into debt while not understanding the new economy at all and do what we're doing with the inevitable doom. Good luck lower income families that are not able to inspire the minds of your young. The factory doors are closed.
The US should come out and give a full explanation of their cyber warfare policies and practices. When should anything be taking place? Would we need to be at war? Are the practices "meant" to just be defensive in nature? The citizens and businesses that are online are thus affected by the actions the military takes part in - we have a need to know. Typical warfare is seen. It is in the "public" eye. This is not - unless they setup some honey pots and proved what happens. That. Would. Be. Awesome. (For either side to do and expose.)
I have seen this occur with NPR stories too. Slashdot has become a slowly metered feed of old news. Every 40 or so minutes, bam, next story. It is ok to come here for the discussion, and to review some of what has happened if you haven't seen or heard the news lately. You just need to change your expectations since obviously complaining doesn't change things around here.
I did not complain about what the peons were being paid. Look again. I was calling into question the amount, per employee, being given to the company. The part you are honing in on is a quote from the mentioned article. What you might be alluding to is when I called it "paying low wages to the employees" and this is true, but I was referring to that in the context of the whole discussion. The governor of Texas is then bragging about spurring job growth. Is it fair for a Governor to brag about bringing in poverty level jobs? And to do so while giving out massive tax subsidies to make this happen? Is it fair to give out $100k to a company to hire someone at $20k to $30k? According to the subsidy per job created, that would be "low wage" jobs in my book any day. The tax payers are accordingly on the hook for that - and then are a tax base that is a turnip.
I am not intending to be partisan. The flip side happens when Obama puts out jobs bills and spends $350k per job created - shouldn't the right equally complain about that? Shouldn't we all! My basic point is that whenever the government entices any business we should all look critically at the numbers at play. How can the right complain about government intervening in the business world, and then pull stunts like this when politically expedient?
The amount the company gets can be quite out of line. Citation
The math on the new deal angers former Amazon workers, especially those who are still unemployed. For Texas to give up more than $250 million in tax revenues in exchange for 2,500 jobs amounts to about $100,000 per job. Most distribution workers are paid $20,000 to $30,000 a year. The rest benefits the company’s bottom line, which generally increases executive bonuses and shareholder returns.
These tax deals are indeed bogus. But are the people out on the sidewalks carrying signs? Also: that article gives some indication to the corruption occuring specifically in Texas and donations to their comptroller. Wild stuff. Welcome to the Republican America where we bow to the business, who is paying low wages to the employees, and where the business gets tax breaks to come and then leaves. And the politician can run on how they created jobs. And the lobbyist can give campaign donations to the comptroller and get away with it.

2) Parts are getting harder to find, and vastly more expensive. As they age the cost of supporting them sky-rockets, and with parts being harder to find if something breaks there is downtime to fix it. That's not a good situation to be in. Indivual parts for these old machines (eg. spare HBA card, etc) are now becoming as expensive as a new replacement system.
This seems like the greatest reason to not use them by an individual too. Along with hig power of course, but to still use them they need to be maintainable. As opposed to an AMD/Intel highly multi threaded box, commodity parts, lots of ram, SSD, good cheap video cards, etc, there is just way less reason to go mildly-retro. Going full retro of course has its arguments. For around $600 a person could buy a spare laptop and an SSD (or build a very nice tower) and have a low power usage, high capability box for running Linux/*BSD/*Solaris. Yet - ebay prices on these kind of things are still high. Checkout a Blade 2000 or a 2500, the prices astonish me.

He shed light to a certain extent, however the government is trying to also spin this off by saying this was all on the up and up:
But the dossier, released by the Director of National Intelligence's office, claimed: "PRISM is not an undisclosed collection or data mining programme. It is an internal government computer system used to facilitate the government’s statutorily authorized collection of foreign intelligence information from electronic communication service providers under court supervision, as authorised by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
