I don't know if you've noticed , but the real world is racist and sexist. His views may seem to be too much, but what is the alternative you offer? Something along the lines of 'Everyone should learn..' does not count in my book. After all if everyone would learn whats best for them and society people in general would drive much safer.
When up against an entrenched opponent one must use measures just as strong as his opponent.
Some talented people did something interesting with some easily accessible tools. Great job guys and gals, seriously, but I'm not thanking the software.
I wouldn't quite define professional level (or even wonky should be pro level) 3d animation , audio editing and image editing tools as 'easily accessible' . Perhaps it's just my lowly budget speaking.
I made a program with X language the other day , but X is just some easily accessible tool, almost no effort is needed to make a compiler,debugger or documentation for a programming language.
To view history in its true light requires one to not draw us vs them comparisons. Each entity took the actions they took , to get the full lesson from history one must learn from each of them.
The Japanese tortured and killed soldiers and did worse to citizens.
The US did racial profiling of Japanese as a whole and helped fan the flames of hate against them. Then they put them in camps.
Well while I cannot say for this study since I didn't make it, sand is generally considered air pollution by those who live in deserts. Hence the face wraps / filtering issues on vehicle air-intake systems, etc.
Very well thought out reply, it shows a deeper understanding than most have of how the government has affected the economy over time. I had never thought about how the FDIC insurance has such an enabling effect on banks.
I have to ask , if you think anything that gets in the way of profit is a problem, how do you feel about wall street?
Derivative trading was completely untouched by government regulation or even monitoring until a single company defaulted....and almost brought the cards down the first time. However that was avoided by the government stepping in and telling those who had lost money in derivatives what they had to do.
what do you when all toy manufacturers have lead paint because its cheaper? And cheaper is the path to profit, which shareholders demand.
The original security exploit had to be modified to exploit the current kernel, so unless you expect them to maintain all the old security vulnerability test units....
Simple fact, stuff happens. I would like to see a programmer / admin that can say in the last 6 months they have not made or almost made a major to semi-major mistake. Linux is a big project and they are reacting properly to this by re-adding the fix quickly.
Its more like a very thick line between 'if you want to use Google(tm) apps on your phone it needs to be an approved system so it doesn't tarnish our name' and 'if you don't use our apps you can do anything'.
Considering the phone manufacturers are getting the phone apps for near free prices I think thats a good deal personally.
Isn't that what the subject line and message body are supposed to be for?
I appreciate that Google is trying to idiot-proof email but it'd probably be a simpler task to train people
Where do you live and work so I can move to a place where people can actually be trained to do things. Do people also follow the traffic laws where you live too?
Really I think he meant this more as a warning. Unfortunately not many people realize that what he says is true currently and what consequences it can have. Sure the average slashdot user will say 'not I' , but what about all your family / friends. There is a strong reality that what he said is entirely possible and could have strong public support if pitched to the public correctly.
I think you'd see less upset people if companies like Pepsi didn't use business practices that discouraged good food habits. The fact is give a company a lot of money and they'll sway the public. EVERYONE who is exposed to the extreme amounts of marketing and advertising in most countries has had their viewpoint altered on something.
For example, who do you think lobbied the FDA so that if a food has less than.5 grams of trans fat per serving, it can be listed as zero? That did say per serving too, so just make your label have really small servings and no trans fat! Millions of dollars at work to make millions more.
I'm afraid you are right and Googlers indeed harbor that foolish idea. But that very fact *is* their problem. They have enough cash to play ostrich for a few years, but the reality couldn't care less about what Google thinks. Reality deals with things that exist.
I take it reality gets to ignore that android phones have overtaken iphones in sales in the last quarter?
it's easy to say 'google doesnt value privacy' . however i have yet to see someone make a post in any of these stories about an alternative search engine that - gives just as good of results as google - has a history of protecting privacy (google resisted a court order from the government as much as they could. other search engines happily complied)
the deal with search engines is simple. if you want a good working search engine that supports MILLIONS of users you are either going to have to pay or the search provider will need to use advertising. also said search provider is going to need to mine search results to give better results and when the government brings a patriot act court order , any business is going to comply.
do you think bing, yahoo and altavista would tell the US government "we'll take jail over handing you these records"? atleast google's owners tell you if you don't want your searches for something recorded, dont do them online in a non-anonymous way because it recorded. do you see another search provider doing that?
the higher level guns (and higher quality) equip 2 weapon mods and an ammo mod. the lower level ones equip an ammo mod what you described and a weapon mod (no idea how you cant count more accuracy as not useful.
example setups ive used
shotgun heatsink to prevent overheat knockback rounds
rifle heatsink to fire longer stability to stay more accurate poison rounds (they arent called that but its basically what they do. they lower enemies abilites.)
this is a good example of why companies that have lots of money hire marketing companies. after seeing that i DONT want to run linux, i want to stay away from linux.
'would you like to be associated with t is group of losers?' i mean fighting over the last donut? really?
its like the anti-drug videos in school. be like this group dorks who dont do drugs and dress like your parents!
please also drop the 'everything god told the iserialites is a commandment for us today' . when he said to kill x people, or those who dont were false worshipers he was talking to a specific person, most of the hebrew scriptures are historical accounts.
no where in the greek scriptures does it say crusade / kill / hate on unbelievers.
funnily enough scientists claim belief in *something* in their experiments where they show 'how life was made'. they dont take themselves out of the equation, therefore showing even in there experiments something had to intelligently interact to create basic life. closest they could get is randomly throwing stuff together a couple thousand times to try to get basic life.

Agreed on that, unless specifically requested I don't design a non-JS user version of the a site.
Just in case someone replies with 'Then your clients lose all the business of noscript users' .... thats what, MAYBE .5 percent of web users?
How many BSD licensed projects are compiled with a GPL compiler or use GPL libraries?

I don't understand the phrase 'automated design process'? why don't we use that same process to write code?
If we could have code as elegant as the cell , dna , etc that would be awesome.

I would like to be part of one of these projects you speak of. personally I find working long hours due to crunch time boring among other things.
The reality is bad code / practices / half finished things are everywhere.....
Just in commercial software no one can see your source code and call you on it.

I wish this post could be modded +10 insightful.
This sounds like a grindathon mmo in the form of a social networking app.

but the linux community by order of RMS doesnt buy ATI or nvidia cards. so they shouldnt be gaming anyway.
[/sarcasm]
remember kids now that google isnt popular its their fault if you put sensitive customer data OPENLY ON YOUR SITE.
by the same logic thumb drive makers are the blame for data loss via thumb drives.
