No, it's all part of youtube taking down conservative videos, which the linked article (from the post) talks about. They are removing conservative videos while leaving up jihadist propaganda. Period. Obviously they haven't removed this particular video, and probably won't now (roaches tend to dislike the light), but they have in the past.
They might be wrong about this video, but the fact is that plenty of Michelle Malkin stuff has been outright removed *by youtube*. At the same time, the jihadi videos aren't removed, even if they're flagged. While Michelle Malkin may be controversial, the videos that I've seen which were subsequently removed definitely didn't fit any definition of inappropriate.
Lawyers defending six medical workers who risk execution by firing squad in Libya have called for the international scientific community to support a bid to prove the medics' innocence. The six are charged with deliberately infecting more than 400 children with HIV at the al-Fateh Hospital in Benghazi in 1998, so far causing the deaths of at least 40 of them.
The six are all foreign workers. Poor conditions at the hospital led to 400 kids getting AIDS, and now the Libyan "government" is trying these six in a death-penalty case to try to blame them for the poor conditions at the hospital.
Libya is a 3rd-world hell-hole, but it doesn't have to be. There's plenty of money, they just need to can the idiot running the place and get an actual government. Probably the best piece that I've read on Libya:
In Michael Totten's words: Libya is the most oppressive state on earth next to North Korea.
I would strongly suggest that anyone in Libya who may be reading this to read the "Declaration of Independence" of the US. There you will find that you have a duty to can the dictator. Note: DUTY.
Now you have left the realm of hate speech and have entered the realm of conspiracy.
Yes, I know.
Read my post in the context of the grandparent, not the context of the article. The grandparent makes an impassioned plea for the idea of absolute freedom to say absolutely anything, and anything less than that is unacceptable. My point, which stands, is that we already ban certain types of speech, and conspiracy to commit a crime is a prime example.
The "blind sheik" who is considered the mastermind of the original WTC bombing in '93 is a good example. He didn't build bombs, didn't drive the van (presumably), all he did was talk. We put him in prison due to what he said, nothing more. His lawyer is about to join him, also for what she said.
A large percentage of murder has a motive, and the killer and victim know each other. This case is particularly heinous for these reasons:
1. The victim apparently didn't know the killers 2. He was apparently chosen solely based on race 3. The killers are still at large, and there's no reason to believe that they wouldn't do this again
People don't think too much when drug dealers are killing each other, because most of us don't hang out with that crowd and aren't really affected by it. That's why a killing like this brings in much more attention.
You're absoutely right! For instance, I just instructed my gang of bank robbers to take out a bank. I didn't go along, so I'm completely innocent of any crime, right? Right? All I did was talk, and speech is protected!
The machine gave $20's for $5's for NINE days after it was reprogrammed before someone commented on it.
Probably because a total of three people-including the thief- got $5 bills out of an ATM during that time period. Seriously, when was the last time you got $25 out of an ATM. Most don't dispense anything but $20's these days.
I used to write software using Microsoft tools. The tools were expensive, and sometimes buggy. And when I encountered bugs in visual foxpro, I couldn't fix them. They were usually fixed in the next version, which had a new set of bugs. It's not terribly buggy, but sometimes one bug can really cause problems.
I also did some VB stuff. They went through three different, slightly incompatible database access classes during my use of it. All were written by committee.
Note that these were the cheap tools, too, I wasn't using sql server or such.
The world of Free software is completely different. I have control. I cannot stress this enough: I HAVE CONTROL. It's considered a myth that anyone can fix bugs, but I have more than once. I remember well fixing a bug in the pop server that I'm using. It would have taken Microsoft or a company such as that a month or more to fix a bug like that. It took me 30 minutes from never having looked at the code to having the bug fixed, patch sent to maintainer.
Now, for the stuff that I do nowadays, not only is the control factor large, so is the cost factor. They are correct that Microsoft provides a platform where you can make money. But that means you have to give Microsoft some of your money. If free Free software didn't exist, that would make sense. However, in the presence of an equal or better alternative that costs no money, it makes absolutely no sense to give Microsoft money for their often inferior offerings.
I have a particular client that I took from another company. It was an ecommerce site, nothing special, frankly. The other company had already billed the client $40,000 and the product wasn't yet working. The client brought me in to help the other bozos with some html. Yes, you read that correctly. So I asked the client for their data set, and three days later showed them a prototype that was more functional than what the other guys had spent three months and $40,000 to accomplish.
I then made them an offer. They hadn't paid for the Microsoft licenses yet, which were going to run about $15K. I told them that I could deliver the entire thing for less than the up-front cost of the Microsoft licenses. In other words, they could abandon everything that the other guys had charged them so much for and still save money. They decided to play both sides, and a month later I delivered the completed site, under budget. The other guys charged them another $40,000 for time they had spent since the last bill, but still no completed site. I don't know if they paid it.
I have found that most companies like those do not inform their clients ahead of time that there are going to be Microsoft license fees to pay. They rather find out afterward. In this case, when the guys found out what I was doing, they went to the client and told them falsely that they didn't have to pay for those licenses, that they could just use a free test license.
There's a lesson there, though. For most larger projects, those license fees are laid out up front (although they are usually dishonest about the ongoing costs, I've found). But think about it. If a client is going to spend $50K on a project, my choice as the vendor is either $50K in my pocket or $40K in my pocket and $10K in Microsoft's pocket. Again, for what? Better yet, I can "undercut" at $45K, still make more money than the other guy and save my client money.
Note to other vendors: keep pushing Microsoft crap at people. I love it when you do. Seriously.

Hacking the Governator
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
The irony of this is, of course, that the Governator made this observation jokingly apparently because one of his close aides or cabinet members is Puerto Rican and likes to joke about it. Rather than jumping up and down yelling to make sure everybody knows that he is for equal opportunity and all that, Herrn Schwartzeneggar simply lives his life as if race doesn't matter.
I am very familiar with this, since my wife is asian. One day she asked me if I'm offended by her calling me a "white guy". Seriously. I said "of course not, it's what I am, like you're an asian babe". So I asked why she even asked me that. Turns out she had mentioned to a patient that her husband is a "white guy", and the guy told her it wasn't nice to call me that.
As the parent says, it's just bullshit to act as if race doesn't exist.
What the Governator said isn't racially disparaging. He jokingly made an observation. Those who are so offended by it are people who I personally won't bend over backward to not offend.
