I believe that, as far as a complacent company, or an agent in a company, is able to filter the information that people get from the other nodes in their network, the "powers that be" (make that wealth, US goverment, US agencies, whatever fits your bill) can even influence political changes in masses.
That is why the discussion about metadata was so stupid! Politically, metadata IS the ingredient that was missing. One does make political opinions widely available, but metadata allows someone with insight to the network to map influences, make profiles. And as these two research papers explain, alter their impact in the political process of the mass. It's not the people who are controlled by social networks, but masses surely are: Exploiting Network Structure in Enhancing Diusion of Complex Contagions: http://www.albany.edu/~ravi/pd... Effects of Opposition on the Diffusion of Complex Contagions in Social Networks: An Empirical Study: http://link.springer.com/chapt... Bear in mind that we do not know how edgerank selects information. It could well highlight favourable nodes and muffle problematic ones.
Interestingly, in recent years social movements favourable to western status quo have thrilled in social networks (think maidan, arab "spring", opposition to left leaning governments in South America, now Hong Kong revolts) yet the ones that oppose them have a much larger footprint in the real world than in the virtual world (Chile student revolts, Mexican "I am 132", spanish resistance to shock cuts, that gathered !4million people physically!, Occupy Wall Street). I really wonder if this asymmetry is random or coincidence
The rest of the shit surely came from Cisco US. There's no software patents in Argentina, so probably the patent issue was not a problem of the subsidiary. He even states that the 'terrorist' accusation was made by one manager of PSIRT. And even with the job offer, he didnt say if the other people who had the problem where from Argentina or not. Disclaimer: Im argentine;-)
Even if they could lock the OS to the hardware, i think they could not prevent other OSes (specially BSDs -the easiest- and Linux -the one with more developers-) from providing some not too special environment to run mac apps. I don't think Apple could risk that
Do you really think that if there had been no GNU there would have been no Linux? No, the same way i dont think that GNU would be dead if it werent for Linux. Probably the hurd would have come into fruition with some would-be linux developers going into the hurd. I really do think its because Linux gained critical mass before HURD that linux is an enterprise-ready kernel and the hurd just an early stage of a project
While youre right saying that the name GNU was intended for the HURD, and pointing the GP's error, the GNU part of GNU/Linux doesnt mean "its compiled with gcc", much less "ships with gcc". Nowadays, it means gcc, libc, most "core" unix utils (sed, awk, grep), and a lot of libraries used in other software. Not to mention that all the development tools played a fundamental role in the growth and development of Linux.
That would have been correct for the US, but the really big thing nowadays is the EU patent discussion. In that terms, most europeans see americans and their right to bear arms as gun nuts.
However, a workaround might be to permit HT only for multiple threads within the same process. That would still give some speedups to compute-intensive processes that are written to take advantage of threading. Perhaps even better: processes[threads] belonging to the same user
GCC, and libc, and bash, etc. existed before Linux. It would be more sensible to say that without linux there'd be another kernel (say, *bsd or hurd) And it is sensible the order in which the development took place. There is practically no point in running a free kernel in a non-free environment but there is in running a free compiler/libc/every-other-util in any non-free environment you choose.
First: Exactly what things break up when you do anything to your kernel (except binary drivers, but then the problem is binary drivers). Second: Do you really think that it could do so well in the "server niche" if any modification in the kernel broke things? Third: What has gui consistency to do with the kernel?
You know what has helped me? Age. Want something better? A son. I wake up ALWAYS at 6:45, being not yet 25 years old. The kid seems to have ntp installed, he never drifts... When still in my former job, I used to get up at 8:00, and he used to woke up at 7:50-8:00. It took him less than a week to get used to my new schedule. Now he wakes up 5 minutes before the alarm clock sounds.
Mmm I dont know if gratis is a french word also, but it certainly is a spanish word (i am a native spanish speaker). Google's translator doesnt seem to understand gratis@french.
Economic power is the way to go here. It's not as cool and flashy as military power but then it's also not nearly so expensive in lives. Thats arguable, there are quite a number of lives lost daily by famine and lack of medical aid.

It's right to hate them, they're the most evil organization in the world. They still have concentration camps for Gods sakes.
Ok, so the US Government does have a concentration camp where they torture people, but this discussion is NOT about Guantanamo. Please keep on topic
This!
And to think that I wasted modpoints yesterday...

They had better have really deep packets
If by depth you mean length, I expect they dont exceed the pmtu. Its better with no fragmentation...
It'd save many a marriage.
Sorry, you mispelled from.
...the victim. Or the "civilian casualty", considering these are military vehicles.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the attacks you linked to were man-in-the-middle, but the attacks of TFA were blind, no need to sniff the connection.

Sorry to be an asshole
I think it would be enough to change the logo and add a link to eff, like what they do at christmas and certain aniversaries.
The article just said "in fact Unix/Linux users are switching to mac" and thats all!
Probably even saying to mac instead of to OSX meant to Linux@PPC.
Even if they could lock the OS to the hardware, i think they could not prevent other OSes (specially BSDs -the easiest- and Linux -the one with more developers-) from providing some not too special environment to run mac apps.
I don't think Apple could risk that
