  1. Re:Good for US economy on MS Wants Laws To Block Products Made By Software Pirates · · Score: 1

    Since when?
    You think those Nikes you buy were made without sweat shops full of children?

    I personally would support the ban on imports of that nature, but Americans in general do not.

    As for preventing a boycott that seems insane. Then again I won't buy Israeli or Palestinian goods if I can avoid it.

    Not at all, only the kernel is GPLed. The rest is Apache licensed.

    Astroturf much?

    Android losing mojo? Are you fucking insane?
    Windows Phone 7 is pretty much a failure, Microsoft managed to kill their own market lead with WinCe.

    Have captchas been broken so much that even script kiddies are in on the act or are the Parent and GP just off their medicine?

    GOATSE LINK.

    By the way kiddo, find something new to shock us with. Slashdotters are pretty much immune to that one.

  6. Re:Well that's ominous on Red Hat Nears $1 Billion In Revenues, Closing Door On Clones · · Score: 5, Informative

    RedHat employs Kernel devs, their patches go directly into upstream. This is for patches that will never make it into upstream for that kernel. Basically all the stuff RedHat backports to the old crusty kernels they use.

    The current one is worse. He looks like a Bond villain not a Bond. First time I saw him I wondered what Vladimir Putin had given the USA to get that film role.

  8. Re:Delayed until next release? on Google Delays General Release of Honeycomb Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The real answer is the code sucks. They rushed Honeycomb and want to be able to clean it up with the ice cream sandwich release.

    Do yourself a real favor and skip the last season. BSG jumped the shark in the last season.

    Remington Steel will never be James Bond. Sean Connery is the best James Bond, but at least Dalton is better than Remington Steel.

    I said normally. You and your friends are not the typical apple buyers. Go into a nearby apple store and see for yourself.

    The jobs would still bring them here. Your supply side solution is not going to work.

    Then we would have to allow people to immigrate to any country they want. Right now the employer can move to that job, but the worker cannot follow.

    Equal labor protection in the form of safety regulations are not anti-free market.

    A real geek would have rooted or jailbroken either as soon as it was out of the box. Apple buyers are normally not geeks.

  15. Re:Go figure on Utah Works To Repeal Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    If they cannot find people to do the work the wage for that job will go up. That is how the free market works.

  16. Re:Let's hope they don't screw it up. on Utah Works To Repeal Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    I have no such beliefs. In fact any illegal that rats out his employer should get a green card. The employer is the criminal here.

  17. Re:Go figure on Utah Works To Repeal Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    No I do not. That is their problem. I suspect the free market will solve it quite quickly though.

    The paperwork illegals normally have no one with a room temperature IQ would be fooled. Heck, just make the standard reasonable and no automatic checks are needed.

  18. Re:Go figure on Utah Works To Repeal Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    Which is why I am saying fine the business that hires them not the illegals. Heck, if the fine tops X amount we can use some of that to get the illegal back home and setup with an immigration lawyer.

  19. Re:Go figure on Utah Works To Repeal Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    Sounds like turn the other cheek to me.

    Get this through your thick skull, the illegals would not be here if no one hired them. Make it a felony to hire one and fine 25k per day per illegal and that problem will sort itself right out.

  20. Re:Let's hope they don't screw it up. on Utah Works To Repeal Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If Utah wants to do that why not?

    The whole illegal aliens thing is quite easy to solve anyway, incarcerate the person who is directly responsible for hiring any illegal and the CEO of the company. Also fine the company $25k per day per illegal worker. If no one was hiring them they would not be crossing the border.

    It does not seem to do any as far as I can tell.

    Sure they could do those things, but they have chosen not to and want twitter to act as their agent. Unless they plan to pay twitter it might as well ignore them.

    This is not bypassing anything, NY Times allows you to read articles if you came from twitter. These links on twitter do just that. This is exactly what they should have expected would happen. If I announce that everyone who comes to my house with a red shirt gets free a free meal, I bet lots of folks would take me up on the offer and someone may start selling red shirts outside my house.
