So, the argument and merits boil down to this: You may choose between Bowdlerized digital lifestyle from Apple, or a direct pipeline into the next-generation of Total Information Awareness from Google?
You left out the invisible world of moblin... I would get one if I could. But I am on Verizon, the company that makes Apple look "free and open." This is also why my phone is just a phone, not a text, camera, and Internet platform.
That is the point. If you accept the settlement, and the $16, you let them off the hook. If you do not, you can go after them for more. The hope is that a lot of people will reject it, allowing another class action to go through.
Kidnapping for money is a big industry in Mexico. It is all but unheard of in the United States. Why? Because the FBI made it unprofitable. They use whatever resources are needed to track down and bust the kidnappers, however long it takes. We need that kind of will in the fight against spam. It is expensive at first, but less expensive as people get out of the business.
Never said it did. But occasionally you have to clean the house, cook dinner, go to the bathroom. Not all of us have the leisure to hover over children all day. Especially a single parent, as referred to in the post. This is just a gateway, not a solution. It will never be perfect, and it will require an attentive parent. I would also say keep ALL of the computers in the living room. With less privacy, they are less likely to "cheat" the filters. The old "Daylight is the best disinfectant" sort of thing.
Here is an idea. Why not just take licenses away from bad drivers, and not worry about the reason? Why are people that have had several major accidents still on the road?
As a parent, you are supposed to exert some control over your children. That is why they are called children... That are not yet adults, and are not yet expected to show adult responsibility.
Not really... Basic Desktop support, and a more sophisticated gateway. Something like m0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/ has very good access control with a voucher system, you user based control built in. It also has a very good traffic shaper so one kid downloading won't cause a fight with the other kid gaming. However, no web filtering.
Untangle http://www.untangle.com/ has some very good filtering on content and viruses, as well as some ads. The captive portal is not as strong, but getting there. No real traffic shaping last time I checked.
Both are open source projects. Monowall will run on any old P3 with 128 meg of ram. Untangle will need a bit more power behind it.
I would love to. But too many websites use flash for FUCKING NAVIGATION BUTTONS! Between that and resizing my browser window "for me," I am glad the web designers are not within pistol range. I only have so much self control!
Start with Slashdot. Of all the sites I visit (not all that many really, only about 30 or 40) Slashdot is the one that makes me wish I had a faster CPU. Clicking into an article with lots of contents on Slashdot will sometimes lock my browser entirely for many seconds, sometimes up to 30 seconds or so.
I'd be a lot happier with the old pre-AJAX version.
Fully quoted so I can agree strongly. Only a few add laden websites choke my system more than slashdot!
Sorry... This is the decade of ignoring the majority and jamming what a few people want down the throats of the rest. Just look at government lately...
Only half meant as a joke.
No doubt... Lets not clean up those overly complex websites. Lets not clean up the MASSIVE adds with popup movies embedded. Lets toss more hardware at it...
The only thing Linux geeks have made popular is Linux too themselves. In case you haven't noticed there are a lot of people here who really could give a flying fuck about Linux, even though this sit is primarily for Linux fanboys.
And phones... And Network Attached Storage boxes... And firewalls... And Wireless routers... And Media devices... And a few printers... And Google...
Linux geeks have never, in the history of the universe, made anything popular. Sony made the PS3 popular, in part by dropping the "Other OS" crap on the floor and concentrating on getting games out the door. Cause ya know... it's a game console.
Yep... No one comes to slashdot. It is just a backwater on the Internet...
The PS3 was a hit because it did everything. Game player, BluRay player, Linux box, media box... Now it is still the first 2. (Arguably the 4th as well, but not with XBMC)
Go to a Gamestop or Best Buy and ask the people in the PS3 section about running Linux on their PS3 and how this update disables it on older models. You will get blank stares.
Go into Best Buy and ask what 2+2 is and you will get blank stares. Not exactly a litmus test for anything there...
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly, so unless the iPhone suddenly implements web content filtering (including streaming vids), I find Steve's statement absurd.
Only this one? Read much?
I prefer deep dicking some tight wet pussy over but I guess porn phone is ok for losers like you that sit home and jack off.
That is the point! If it is on your phone, you don't have to sit at home and jack off. You can jack off on the go!
You can't really say that "backed" it when it was just one choice next to .mpg and .wmv on most sites.

So we should lock folks up not because they have committed a crime, but because they might commit a crime in the future.
Buy stocks in companies that build jails . . .
So... Lets lock up the *iaa now. Yes I know they have already committed crimes, but it will be easier to prove that they are about to.
And while we are at it, the house and the senate as well.
That functionality is built into Ubuntu. Probably others as well, but I know it is in Ubuntu.

An example was SVG. At first IE did not support it. So a plugin was made. Now they will support it. Funny that...
We're all very quick to hit Google when they do something wrong. This one pretty clearly is "do no evil". Thanks Google!
While true, they ain't done it yet. Right now this is just a "future product announcement" and that can be evil. Call me when you have the code...
Wrong apocalypse... Think of the exploding zombie movies!
