  1. Re:Censorship works great!!! on FTC Says Virtual Worlds Bad For Minors · · Score: 1

    In FFXI there was a especially bad system, where you had only a limited choice of words to use. A whitelist system so to speak. Yet it did not stop anyone from saying what he wanted to say.

    There was for example a place called “gloryhole” in the game. You can guess what it was most used for. ^^

    And call them "Stereo"?

    Because you wouldn’t call stereo audio "binaural audio" too, would you?

    You can start calling it 3D, if you can actually focus on different depths and rotate it.

    Wrong too! Anyone can fix it! But is a function of time. Some people take longer because they have to learn more in advance.
    Although in reality, there is a timeout when it’s too late to fix it (which most likely was what you wanted to say), this was not the point discussed here.

    Why are you so needy an to need the average user to love you(r os)? Stop being needy!

    It’s simple: We build an OS like we do, because that is how we like it. Because we build it for us.
    After all it is free.
    If anyone else wants to use it, that’s fine. But we don’t want something from them. They want something from us. Which does not mean they are going to get it.

    There is no point in changing Linux to satisfy the average user, unless you somehow for a weird reason think you need their approval to be accepted. (You don’t!)

    Protip: It’s the same thing that separates men who have success with women and are leaders from those who are not.

    Wrong. It depends on who has control of the locks.

    That’s why TCPA/TPM is really great, when you’re in control, but horrible as planned (with others in control).

    Moving to? They had S40 and S60 (SDKs) for nearly a decade! Now Maemo Linux got added to the top end. Probably to replace S80 and the old Meamo stuff.

    I don’t think they will put it on S40 phones any time soon though.

    Totally offtopic but still great: That reminds me of the old Monty Pythons sound mod for Doom 1. (Oh hell yeah!)

    When you shot the shotgun, it went "Badaboom badabing!". The pistol went "Ni! ... Ni! Ni!"
    And when you fell from a great height, the Doom guy said "AAAAH, my heart just stopped... Ah there it goes again."

    Hey, what’s wrong with healthy competition? Do you prefer a Windows-like monoculture? Even a Linux monoculture would not be good.
    Besides: If it’s a great OS, then I welcome it.
    If it is bad, it will fail anyway, because nobody will want to code for it.

    The average user couldn’t care less, what the OS on it is. :)

  16. Re:Social networking is not about privacy on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 1

    I know that you may never heard of such things, but in social networks, there is a concept of trust. Which means that all information to you has a privacy value attached to it. And every person has a trustworthiness value associated with it. Then every person gets that information, for which the trustworthiness is higher or equal to the privacy value. And this is still simplified.
    But at least not oversimplified, like your view.
