I am a fiscal conservative/libertarian. Though I do have personal morals and ethics, I look at the bigger picture beyond what these neocons and treehuggers are willing to aspire to. It's sad that people to look to technology to SAVE life even if it means a partial sacrifice in the process. Simply put, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Cell does copyright protection at the hardware level doesn't it? I don't think you can emulate these functions. Thus, Sony won't mind making the software run on an open source platform.
There is always S. Korea and Japan. But, I'm not sure how long it would take them to refab the factories to meet the global demand. On top of that, you still have to deal with new contracts being made between companies. Such a scenario could take at least a year or so to fully gain momentum...assuming the infrastructure is in place.
Naaa. The real reason is the multi levels of bureaucracy in your typical bloated corporation. Just imagine having to get each request approved by management throughout the process of start to finish.
The democrats are not democrats. They are "Socialist" wackjobs registered under the party name of Democrat. If you really want to help, get the repubs and democrats out of office and vote for Libertarian. This country needs fresh blood in Washington DC in the political arena.
Of course, the Libertarians will really need to bust their ass in gear NOW if they want to gain momentum for 08 elections.
No, your full of bullshit. In case you haven't been paying a fucking-tention, you should know that Al Qaeda is actively (and they state so) in Iraq blowing up their own mosques and Iraqi civilians because they are standing up for freedom and democrocy. It is a bloody god damn fact!!! Al Qaeda has stated that they will not stop until democrocy is crushed as it goes against the teaching of islam.
These Islamic exremists wanted a war, and now we gave them one. Personally, I don't care if this war takes 1,000 years to finish. I would gladly expense all the worlds resources to flush these fuckers out.
A lot of countries in the western world don't govern themselves by Sharia law, women in those countries vote, drive and dress immodestly; but they haven't been attacked by islamic terrorists nor are they hated by the islamic world as you americans are.
Total bullshit. Pure, absolute BULLSHIT!
Sharia Law is the most oppressive, vile, humanly evil form of law. Off all the religions in the world, the Islamic faith is recorded to incite the most violence (yes, far more then Christianity) around the world than any other faith. Maybe you should do some research about the violence in Africa, America, Iraq, Russia, Chechnya, Spain, France...etc in regards to Islamic extremism.
But to answer your question directly. The culture found in America is everything that defiles the teaching of Islam. Until America is nuked from existence, they won't stop their holy jihad against us. The FACT is, there's no cause/effect relationship. It's the simple fact we are who we are that makes us a target. No gray...just a pure black and white issue.
Actually, there was news of the US military trying to make weapons that don't kill, but rather pacify them. Do a search on "gay bomb" and see what kinda stuff you get. Rather funny, but interesting too.
Sounds like a great way to market an excuse to buy a dual core CPU. Why bother cleaning it when you can just offload it to the other core? Ahhh, the bliss of a dedicated spyware processing!
Yes I know, spyware should be removed for security reasons. I'm just trying to make a point about users sweeping dirt under the rug rather then removing it from the home.
Being secluded in a jail cell does remove you from the gene pool. You actually think he will actually have the opportunity to procreate? Then again, if he has already fathered children then it becomes a moot point.
Uhh no. It's more like "How long until Time Warner buys Google"
TWC has already branched out in to many markets such as phone, internet, music, and cable TV. Adding Google to the list would be a valuable asset to TWC.
I know someone living in Shanghai. When we talk over AIM or MSN, she explicitly states she does not want to talk about anything political. I asked her why. She said "Because it's best if I don't" or "Please don't ask me ok?, I shouldn't talk about such things". Needless to say, she is scared shitless about the government and the fact she might have her connection monitored via sniffing of packets.
I'm not sure if the government can or would do this to such a degree, but the idea of talking about chinese politics has her spooked. And the fact she is spooked gets me worried too about the entire chinese population being oppressed.
But...then came Skype and the tune changes. Because our VOIP connection is encrypted in real-time, she sings like a bird about her opinions of the chinese government. When she talks to me over Skype, she can't stop ranting and raving about how fucked up it is.
HT is not a joke if your encoding movies 24/7 on a PC and desire a snappy PC in the process. Sure, HT is only a 20% increase in performance if the application is written to take advantage of it. But the fact it makes WinXP runs so much smoother and without hick-ups when slamming my CPU is well worth the HT feature alone.
Actually, I'm heard that the CCP wanted ever child to have the tubes cut. If you wanted to have children in the future, you had to pay the fee to get the tubes reconnected so you may father children.
Seriouslt, FUCK THEM!!! I was looking forward to getting one of those DVD players with a harddrive. I want to rip all my DVDs into DivX format so that I can just play them from the unit. For me, the application of ripping DVDs to another video format is the same as ripping audio to portable MP3 format.
Fuckers! I will rip all the god damn DVDs I want. I will crack the encryption and encode the files. Go for it, jail me! Next time I get a job, they will laugh off my jailtime because I broke the DMCA law.

The free market can never be a "Free Market" when government is involved. Be it laws for or against the citizens of said country. Once the market starts buying out our politicians, we are truely fucked. Because, law is the highest order of our society. If money can buy laws to secure industry self interest, then a free market never truely exists anymore.
I will give you one example of DRM that failed. Remember the DVD Divx format? That was tried and didn't fair too well with the public. But, had a law been passed to mandate such DRM, then DIVX would still be around more likely.

I'm all for a free market. And if the free market find out that people like me reject DRM, then they will have to rethink the market and offer what people want. Unfortunately, the free market goes through times of testing waters that we don't agree with. But eventually, if the waters are not what the consumer want/demand, then a correction will take place.

If hardware DRM implemntation is to be the defacto standard in future hardware, then fuck the industry. I've got a 2.8Ghz P4 HT chip and I'm not about to sell it anytime soon. I've got more CPU cycles then I know what to deal with. (for now I suppose) Once DRM enabled chips hit the market, I can see a future where the resale value of current hardware would be exceptionally high.
Sounds like the solution to this problem is clear. Always use the second to latest kernel released. Stay away from the new one untill it's fully tested to your satisfaction.
