As filtering becomes ever more common in democratic countries such as the US [...]
I'm wondering for a long time, if you really still can call the US and many other (eg European) states "democratic".
I mean, has the choice between two variants of the same shit still the right to call itself this?
I'm very lucky, that things like Tor, and research around it, still exist. It might soon be our only chance of freeing ourselves from a regime of total control.
Sorry, but work per clock rose dramatically with the Core series of chips. And look at the improvement in the (GP)GPU sector. The best way to find out the work per clock, is to look at what big iron supercomputers use. Because there, nobody cares for the MHz, but everybody cares for the work per energy.
But in general, you are right about there being a major slowdown. It mainly is, because we got closer, and now reached the physical limit for certain things. That's why we have multicore systems now. It will take some time, to come up with something that circumvents those basic physical research problems.
I would only wanna see that, if they would make a child together, and then create a sequel out of that. Complete with a Muffit-Ewok dance-and-cuddle scene. And if I were a total masochist. ^^
I know another way of doing that: Install Linux (or BSD, or MacOS X, or whatever you like).
You know... you can still use vista/win7 on a second partition/disk, like you would use any other game system. Let it hibernate to disk, and just boot into it, when you wanna play a game (like MS Word ^^). You can also create two hardware profiles, so you can boot normally, or in a virtual machine, depending on how you need it.
In fact, I'm doing this right now. (My bank's card-reader app does not support linux yet. [But soon, will.])
But why would I do that, when I can simply run a LiveCD, and change the files on the HDD? Or add a device inside the PC. Or just put something between his keyboard and PC, and use the gained password, to get remote access? Or just sit outside the window/room and record the keyboard input remotely, as show in the a previous/. post.
I mean, if you have physical access and the system is not some super-secure system without input devices and a safe around it, then it's always already too easy.:)
...wouldn't that be "socialism", to regulate them away?
Or is it really just, that you only like the free market or regulation, when it fits your purposes?
This, in a nutshell, should be shown to anyone talking about a completely free market, or a completely regulated market. ^^ Because it shows, that not only is there no such thing, but that also, that grade of freedom is not the question to ask.

... Sgt. : Look, look. All right, smarty-pants. You two, you two, come at me then with raspberries. Come on, both of you, whole basket each. Palin: No guns. Sgt. : No. Palin: No 16-ton weights. Sgt. : No. Idle : No pointed sticks. Sgt. : Shut up. Palin: No rocks up in the ceiling. Sgt. : No. Palin: And you won't kill us. Sgt. : I won't. Palin: Promise. Sgt. : I promise I won't kill you. Now. Are you going to attack me? Palin & Idle: Oh, all right. Sgt. : Right, now don't rush me this time. Stalk me. Do it properly. Stalk me. I'll turn me back. Stalk up behind me, close behind me, then in with the redcurrants! Right? O.K. start moving. Now the first thing to do when you're being stalked by an ugly mob with redcurrants is to -- release the TIGR! (He does so. Growls. Screams.) Sgt. : The great advantage of the TIGR in unarmed combat is that he eats not only the fruit-laden foe but also the redcurrants. TIGRs however do not relish the peach. The peach assailant should be attacked with a RAZR. Right, now, the rest of you, where are you? I know you're hiding somewhere with your damsons and prunes. Well I'm ready for you. I've wired meself up to 200 tons of gelignite, and if any one of you so much as makes a move we'll all go up together! Right, right. I warned you. That's it...
What the... NO... that's just wrong on so many levels!
The budget (that you should not estimate but know exactly!) includes the price for everyone in the chain, from the person who paints the wall over the actors, studios, distributors and cinemas. Why else would it be called the budget? Everything else is pure profit, about which you should never complain.
I on the other hand, see the following as the ideal user interface: A mainly keyboard drive, command-line-like GUI system. Something where you have all the power, and can see the available options before selecting one (the major flaw of the command line). And with good (learning?) presets, so you only have to define non-default settings.
I would like to see something like that. No matter if it's called Gnome or KDE. But having many concurring groups almost always has many benefits.
Everything is relative. Without your counterparts you would no know how to define yourself.:)
Oh, and I hope I did not insult anyone with my GP comment. It's a bit harsh on the Gnome users. I hope you can stand over it, because I did not mean to attack anyone. There is no wrong or right, right?;)
Problem is: He is in a lobby for tougher murder. ^^ (Metaphorically) Or in other words: He is on the side of a group that is against nearly all of the population, and has a very fucked up mindset. No matter how you call it, it is not good. Think of other people to whom this description fits. (No, I will not end this treat "Occam" style.;)
OMG. Never enter stuff like that into Google! I did not know that rapists can also be baby killers. The following link is not safe for work, or home, or anything. But please do not mod me down. Just don't click that thing, Ok? [THAT THING] Ok, nobody got hurt, but what sick fuck draws shit like that?
What the... From +4, insightful to 0, redundant?? Well, how about you being *wrong* about that, because you did *just ignore* the difference, or are to blind to follow it.
Nobody did point it out clearly. They all still thought that there is something like a security hole there. While in reality, there is *none*. root = root = root = root = root. Got it?
Please NO. I hope KDE never ever ever kills that, what you call "clutter". Because we people, who tend to *really* *use* their computers, and configure them, hate one-button apps with so configurability at all, and everything at a default that is just riiiiight... for retards.
In my eyes, the only problem you (non retard, but does not want to configure every shit) users have with KDE, is that you are forced trough huge configuration menus. I think it's very easy to make everyone happy. Just separate the settings in "user", "advanced" and "expert" in a sensible manner, and (*very important*) choose the presets very wisely for your target group. (This has to be done by the KDE developers for the general default. By the distributors for their target group. And by a company admin for the people in that company.)
Then average people like you can still use it, and be happy, because it just works. And we power-users can tweak it until it fits like a glove. Or everything in between.
Exactly right. But nowadays we have computers. And open source software. So we can really replace them with very small shell scripts. ^^ Ok, not shell scripts, but more Haskell scripts. I think metagovernment.org tries to do exactly this. It may fail in the beginning. But I think it will succeed in the end. Because you can always look at the data and source of a program. But inside a human's head, it's much harder to decipher things.
Of course, those in power will fight it like crazy. But if we can organize ourselves better and quicker, with our automated governance, we should be able to easily win. (Think winning over most of the military. And all companies that are against those companies in power. And most of the normal people anyways.)

Damn, I forgot to add that it would be a Christmas special. With the new gay Wookie brother, who marries a Muffit-Ewok that got raped by a Oliphant.
But you still need to buy new hardware, to be able to play. Like a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass. *ducks* ^^

Wanna know what survives any crash, will always be worth tons of money or goods, and rises in value like crazy, in bad times?
Gold.

You mean in the same way, as wasted heat grows exponentially with higher frequencies? ^^

Hey, wouldn't Keanu Reeves have made the perfect Data... or Spock?
I mean, no visible emotions at all... Even Nimoy couldn't do that.
They would have had to skip that episode where he got a emotion chip though...

Because I like actually having a choice. Or a settings window. Or anything more than a single button in my app. ^^
Nope. What happens when a bird gives his team of birds a command?
Exactly. ^^
