Good luck staying neutral when it takes more than one year to dig around one facet of truth. Someone digging info about how USA wage a war, will find facts that accuse USA of wrongdoings. Someone who digs around Hezbollah will find Hezbollah's wrongdoings, someone who digs around Tsahal, will find Tsahal's wrongdoings. Neutrality comes from the variety of news source. But you can't ask to a journalist that finds a scoop about one fact, to release it only accompagnied by a scoop about a blancing fact that gives a "neutral" point of view.
Hehe, first wait for the HADOPI to come from its DDOS attack today. It should have sent 800 addresses today, but it is "delayed" (the first warning emails should have been sent a few months ago but still nothing is coming).
Also, here is a funny fact : the law compels ISPs to give identities of some IP holders but doesn' specify how. One of the most popular ISP, Free Telecom, sent them a paper listing (they are vocal opponents to this law). Good luck managing that when they reach 150 000 a day.
Actually I needed some pictures that an artist friend put on his facebook page to propose it to a fanzine editor and this outage gave me a perfect example about why you should not put anything of value on FB
I don't know... I have many arguments to oppose to extremists (on my side or against my side) but I don't like to call RMS an extremist because his views and positions are coherent, rational and come with arguments. He is uncompromising, that's sure, but does that make one an extremist ?
Uncompromising, sure. Idealist, hell yes, but extremist ? How so ? Does he advocate violence ? Does he say we must break laws ? Come one... I like RMS in that he doesn't care about what is reasonable, what is consensual, he cares about his point and defends it.
At such high compression rates, one could wonder if the optimizations to transmit clear speech make assumptions about the language used. Does it work well with French ? Arabic ? Chinese ?
Yes quality vary, but opening its code is clearly not how you "mask incompetence". Quite the contrary.
But I'm alright with MS making nonsensical claims to keep users. OSS is gaining users every day and if microsoft is willing to act as a fools magnet, it will mean that we will only get the most competent users, that usually helps development.
I thought the idea would be that you would host it on your own machine when it is up and that the rest of the time your friends (or random people) would serve as mirrors ?
No, we proposed to pay more and to give more jobs to Japanese scientist (the construction is managed by a Japanese citizen right now). These discussions lasted years and delayed this important project of a lot of time. Also thanks USA for joining late and resetting the negotiations. Anyway, I am doubtful that a project planned to last more than the life expectancy of most participants has the slightest chance of success.

Actually I am angry that I had to switch from Windows 2000 when they stopped to support some hardware.
Because we are used to Windows preventing us from doing basic things.
Are there workspaces in Windows 7 ? This is a feature that is due since 20 years IMHO. None of the modules for XP worked well in that regard...
Unless it does. Donate to the EFF.
You mean like in wars ? The thingie that gave its name to wargames ?
I just wish that my grandma who keeps sending 10 MP pictures and does not understand what scaling is does not hear you...

Or it could show that all the countries on this continent are not as under-developed as our 80s education lead us to believe.
Thanks. It shows well an industrial zone in Africa that no one talks about.
The ssh login code that allows sabotage of a launch at the last moment...
And they wouldn't win 10% of the time.
Out of all the hardware that is controlled by software, I would have thought drone software would be the most scrutinized.
As someone who worked a bit in the field, let me be the first to say : HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !
I suggested that if they are asked to give the information in numerical form, they switch to punchcards.
"Well, what do you mean numerical ?"

Then just stop buying their stuff and help build the free culture.
Seriously.
How exactly is this going to work?
How concisely you sum up years of interrogations about this whole "intellectual property" thing !
... some video game stores have a whole floor selling locally produced amateur video games. I haven't seen it anywhere else yet.

...encrypted.
A "become friend/accept friend" action being a key exchange to see each other's news. That's what I understood/guessed anyway.

For one thing, they have other concerns than retirement so they are less likely to make safe but low-gains investments.
