The answer is to get rid of email and replace it with something secure. The problem is, no one has stepped up to try it. Google Wave had promise in this area. Texting and instant messaging have chipped away at it a bit, but nothing has come out and replaced it.
Email needs end to end encryption along with built in spam prevention. It needs to look and feel like it does now but with all the changes made on the backend as to make the transition for end users seamless.
Lanza killed a lot of young children. It's the sort of thing the news media eats up because 1) it involves children which immediately gets the attention of every parent int he country and 2) Lanza had serious emotional issues (and psychological ones too).
It's the type of story no one can ignore and let's face a sad reality. Most people are fucking drama queens. That's why Oprah is successful, why Jerry Springer and Maury Povitch have TV shows. That's why The Young and the Restless has been on TV for 40 friggin years and produced over 10,000 episodes. People or nosey pricks that need to get involved in everything.
Kids see this and realize "Hey, I can get tons of attention by doing the same thing!" Video games aren't directly to blame. Bad, no, piss poor parenting is to blame. Video games have just made kids a hell of a lot better at it. They now know how to frag large groups of people because they do it on CoD and Halo. It's like free training for emotional disturbed people.
The solution isn't easy. You have to first make sure that these kids are being found and helped before they become killers. In almost every case people describe the killers as sweet kids pushed too far by home, school and life stresses. If you know a kid like this fucking help them! In addition to this, start cracking down hard on the little fuckers that are bullying in school. I knew plenty of these assholes growing up. Most of them are now rich and successful because they learned bullying pays off. They climbed the corporate ladder being the pricks their parents raised them to be.
The problems are societal. It's not the guns killing people. It's society eating itself. People blaming it on any one thing need to go fuck themselves. They are part of the problem.
Democrat activists came up with it. There is one fellow in particular, in the employment of George Soros, named Brett Kimberline whose made it an art form.
1) You don't need a special repository to install software on your Ultrabook.
The vast majority of people don't care. Not to mention, they appreciate the very real security the Apple Store provides.
2) Most Ultrabooks will let you install another OS
Again, the vast majority of people couldn't care less.
3) You have a better chance of upgrading/replacing the components in your Ultrabook.
One more time, the vast majority of people couldn't care less. I'm not even sure this is true either since most Ultrabook parts are built into the motherboard to save space.
4) Ultrabooks have standard connectors for peripherals
One word, bluetooth. iPads don't need USB. Most people could give a rats ass about peripherals anyway. I can't even remember the last time I bought one and I'm a power user.
5) I've yet to hear sneering from an Ultrabook owner directed at someone who doesn't have one
I have yet to "hear" sneering from an iPad user either. Don't push off your insecurities onto an imaginary group of computer users. How does one "hear" a sneer exactly?
More like 50 mph since he was essentially stealing peoples work because he personally didn't feel they had a right to it. Whine all you like, what he did was illegal. He had the chance to fight it in court, but instead killed himself like the whiny little brat he was. What else can really be expected from a founder of Reddit? Justify all you want, the little bastard had his chance to go to court, instead, he took the easy way out. Sounds like you'd probably do the same.
If you're going 25mph over the speed limit it's a felony. If you also run a red light at that speed it could be reckless driving, also a felony. Just because he was charged with felonies doesn't mean he would have been convicted of them. Ever hear of plea deals? We'll never know now because the whiny little coward killed himself. It's the job of prosecutors to over reach. We have an adversarial court system. It was the job of his lawyer to fight. Little Swartz decided to take the "easy" way out however. I will never understand the people bitching about this.
How about doing it because it's the right thing to do?
Is it? Swartz broke the law, knowingly and willingly. The government didn't kill him. He killed himself. He was all set to have his day in court to fight the charges and bring about awareness to the issues. Instead, like the little coward he was, he killed himself.
I feel bad for his family, but no one is responsible for his death but himself. I look at a coward like Swartz and I feel revulsion at his cowardice. I look at someone like Mandela (tho I disagree with his politics) and I see an extremely brave man that was willing to spend the majority of his adult life in prison for what he believed. Mandela didn't kill himself and his plight was far far worse than Swartz's.
All this BS going on about Swartz is made up, Reddit media nonsense. A coward offed himself. End of story.
You are aware that with just about every current Windows laptop out there for the past, oh, couple of years at least, those gestures work too?
No they don't. Not even close. Windows gestures are absolutely nothing like the interaction on a Mac + Mission Control. Not even the same ball park. Nice try.
[P]rostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia... should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness."
Android is for consumers, not enterprise. Android is a total piece of garbage in the enterprise thanks to Google constantly dicking with the MDM API's. It's worthless.
Apple doesn't hide the BSD code. They freely distribute it as Darwin, which is OSS and freely available. Its the entire under system of the OS. Apple has contributed a great deal to OSS over the years. There is no "blame" for using a license that freely allows them to do what they need to do. The GPLv3 is a non starter in the enterprise world.
Not everyone is a basement dweller like RMS. Some people have lives and families to feed.
1) Windows 7 is arguably the best desktop OS out there right now for the vast majority of the public. Even many of the Apple fans I know, myself included, have been forced to concede that Windows 7 is better than OS X in many ways.
I work in a mixed environment, Windows 7/OSX and Linux. I've never heard an OSX user claim Windows 7 is better. Especially on a portable where the gestures on OSX make it absolutely the best experience out there, if you bother to learn it. I've never in fact seen someone with a MacBook Air, for example, switch it to windows. I've never even seen them run boot camp.
I can't think of a single thing Windows 7 has that OSX doesn't but better. Windows 7 is a decent OS, emphasis on decent. It's the best Microsoft seems to be able to do. That doesn't make it good, nor does it make it better than OSX in any way shape or form.
Articles are one thing. I work with it every day. My boss even has a little slide chart that the HIPPA folks gave him showing us what we can and can't do. We went over this exact issue just a couple months ago while deploying Zenprise and we nixed it based on HIPPA.
Its a flagrant HIPPA violation. If you were to check your medical records online and your employer has the ability to see them, they are in big trouble.
We're saying people shouldn't be tracked like cattle. The whole purpose of this program is to indoctrinate the kids into thinking it's okay to be tracked. Then when they get older, the whole national ID tracking system isn't such a big deal. Get them while they're young as the Germans once proclaimed.
There is no need for this system. It is a solution looking for a problem. It does nothing but infringe on the rights of children and indoctrinate them. It has ZERO upside.
The liberal bigots at slashdot look for any excuse to bash people they disagree with. I've been coming here since before the domain was registered and I can tell you it's always been this way. I usually ignore the flamebait articles like this one and just check out the other stuff. Slashdot has to compete with Reddit in their race to the bottom.
The Linux community can support itself. All they need is to release a tar.gz binary package and the distributions will make their own packages and instructions. Blizzard can release it and say "Support yourselves, we're only releasing binaries. Have fun" and the community will do the rest.
Bushes fault? Really? You liberals are like broken fucking records. At least Microsoft went to trial under Bush. Google got let off the hook after their contributions to Obamas campaign.
I grow more tired of you bottom feeders by the day.
Not to mention them trying to force people into using that real ID system which back fired so badly. I blame Activision for all of this. Blizzard was great until that merger.

"Sorry, we don't support Linux. The binaries are for hobbyists. Here's a nice community forum where all you Linux folks can chat about it. Thanks."
Is that too hard for your angry little mind to comprehend or what?
