Simple: The same way it happens with every other group of pathetic losers:
One person who is very full of himself, is loudly yelling, what he thinks things should be like. Often that one is not even part of the group. And everybody else in that group acts accordingly, because he thinks that everybody else will be too, and that everybody else will beat him up or laugh at him if he doesn't. Which itself then makes that very thing true in the first place.
Also known as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Guess what other thing worked like that too, some 70 years ago. And guess how much people have learned since back then. Nothing. Exactly.
The key is, to be even stronger than that one asshole, and believe in your own things even more. Even if everybody tells you they are complete and utter shit. Because attacking such a group-beast works like this: If you try to save them, by killing him, they will kill you, to protect him. The reason for this again, is that their self-respect would completely brake down. Nobody accepts that!
So you don't only have to be so full of yourself, that you can't hold it back. You even have to pull them with you, into your reality. Making them believe that by following you, they gain self-respect, and can be even more proud of themselves as before. Until they themselves believe it more strongly than even you yourself did, to protect their self-respect. If you're good, you can weave a nice little subconscious trap for them, that they will never be able to get out again, without having to commit seppuku on the spot out of shame and self-hatred.
Powerful people often act very much like a group of school children.
The pen might be more powerful than the sword. But psychology beats them all! The true mother of all WMDs!
Seriously... such an epic failure right in the very article that supposedly is against the very problems that are caused by globalization (That there is no other place left to run to, in case your country treats you like crap)?!? Seems somebody already got infected!
Kill it with fire! From orbit! It's the only way to be sure!
Because now, one dedicated hacker with his OLPC will be able to take down a whole army. Or even better: Make them fly back, acting as if they had been successful, landing, and then either detonating right there, or in the face of their best engineers who just before that downloaded the trojan that will now spread though the whole research facility and then report back to its master.
Man... killing is always the action of a coward. No exceptions. No sides taken. And war is mass murder. Always. Period. No discussion about it.
You forgot that this same-domain rule also protects you from the font hoster changing the font to something that could harm your site. Like making the title of your site look like something insulting or gross.
Exactly. Just like JavaScript, Images, any CSS, graphical rendering, bookmarks, DNS servers, and all that other useless modern shit! I mean, what's the point?
What? You mean the days of Flash intros, pattern images as backgrounds, blink tags, neon color schemes and animated GIFs?? Do you mean THOSE same days in that same reality that I mean? ^^
Sorry, but your memories of such a time must be purely self-induced*, as they never existed. Even in times of pure ASCII files, people layouted the hell out of them. ^^
___ * Yes, we humans have the abilities to make ourselves think that we know something for a fact, when in reality, we completely made it up. There were very interesting studies about this. And if you know how to use those abilities on others, you can become very very powerful!
So you are saying, that because there are retards out there, we should forbid everything and all things that they could ever use?
Yeah, right. You don't know it, but that just made you look really stupid...
Maybe we should fix the retards instead? Or just live with reality and don't freakin' care! Thereby making your life so much better!
What do you think?
And yes I can imagine if it had been around back then: People would be over that, just as they are over Flash intros. And pages would look a whole lot more like good loocking magazine pages by now!
Actually, DNF is really really really officially dead. I have a screenshot from the model and lighting guys from right before they turned off the lights and closed down the offices. It's really sad.
Have you tried using the same window manager as back then, running the same programs, and especially killing all background programs / daemons that weren't there back then?
You seem to be under the false assumption that they had any interest in defining "open" that way. Ask yourself: Who would befit from something? And then ask: What control over the government do those ones have? Then you will know what will happen.
But don't make the beginner's error of thinking that the "general public" had any control! Because they can only choose which of the groups of straw-men that are offered to them they will take.
Bush: It's a different kind of war! They, 're a different kind of people! Jon (Bush impression): They... they wear shoes on their hands! They eat with their butts! They call their Jesus Mohammad. Makes no sense...
I don't know how to turn that into a comment that is critical of this newspeak redefinition though...
How about you? A nice +5, Funny waits for you... coomee... catch it...;)
Yeah, but if you actually used them, you'd know that Windows neither has any support for them, nor are they anything other than a ugly hack. (After all, there's not much money in the pot, for something that is no feature in the UI anyway.)
300% increase in the number of sites providing access to copyright files
Sites?? That's a huge step backward, when you need websites to share files. And it's the fault of the architecture of BitTorrent.
We were/are way further than this. Hell, Napster already had a built-in search function. Then came serverless systems like Gnutella. (No single point of failure.) And then we even went to whole darknets with anonymity and encryption, that are nearly indestructible by the content industry.
But BitTorrent has it all: No built-in search and a single point of failure (the tracker) per file. Let alone anonymity and encryption. It's basically just a fancy load-sharing FTP server. Yes that was what it was developed for. And that is what it should be used for.
BitTorrent for file-sharing is just wrong. And with that stomping-out of bad P2P protocols, BitTorrent will soon be lost even for what it was meant for. Which is bad, because it was good for that. And which is good, because it pushes people to use more recent P2P networks again.
And how about this: The Linux FUSE ZFS implementation (the only one on Linux) eats half of your (not the newest generation) processor cores and 600MB RAM for breakfast. Yes, that's right. It uses that much resources.
Although I must say, for my archive, it's still worth it. Because it's the only thing that can protect my data from the data corruption that happens more and more often with "modern" HDDs.
ZFS offers error scrubbing and repair. So the likeliness to lose data from a hardware failure goes way down, to nearly zero. (Your HDD would have to fail big time, for it to pose any risk.)
But I don't think that scrubbing protects from hash collisions. Rather the opposite...
Well, if you had payed the the same buttload of money, you payed for that Mac case, you wouldn't have gotten any cutting edges. And, for that price, the PSU and a whole expensive Freon-based cooling, or passive water cooling system would have been yours too. (Or half of the hardware inside, at Mac "quality".)
Mac hardware may *seem* like high quality, because on the absolute scale, it is. But on the scale defined by its *price*, it's rather el-cheapo, and sometimes utter crap.
Now if only absolute scales would exist in this universe! ^^ (If you disagree, learn your physics!)
Yes you are. If you think like me: Wrap the whole thing in a server. Don't even think about writing a GUI for it. Write a SIP wrapper. Then put that gateway on one single server, and tell Skype to go fuck themselves. ^^

Can you spot, which one that could be?

Because else, you're comparing apples to oranges.

Why didn't you simply copy it to *another* drive with built-in compression?
That will be $5000 then. Do you pay cash? ^^

It probably won't win
And that attitude is exactly the reason why.
Yes you perfectly understood me.
Yes you are. If you think like me: Wrap the whole thing in a server. Don't even think about writing a GUI for it. Write a SIP wrapper. Then put that gateway on one single server, and tell Skype to go fuck themselves. ^^
How about... you know... shielding the the freaking fields?? ...and not make the animals go nuts. It's cheaper too.
But, as a friend of mine described fucking a girl: It's like throwing a salami in a corridor!
It will be the longest tentacle ever to be related to porn! :D
