    I could be wrong. It's been known to happen.

    "I did not try to install the Vista Beta on the computer I'm using to write this. I'll bet you can figure out why."

    Because you bombed three installations previously?

    From what I've been reading on these ones, is that the pictured ones are not crank-powered. The dynamo ones will be made available though.

    1) Google is not a news source.
    2) Islamic violence and hate is part of a fact. Irresponsibly provoking reaction from the Muslim community is not news reporting. The thing that pisses me off is when all this terrorism happened, everyone was screaming "Where's the Muslim outrage?" The outrage was there, but it wasn't reported on.
    3) News organizations may censor facts at the risk of their credibility, but they sensationalize them at the behest of their own profitability.

  6. Re:Good on you google! on Google News, Censorship or Responsible Journalism? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sorry, but masquerading hate speech as news does not make it news. Calling 'Mein Kampf' a semi-factual analysis of the growing inequities in post WW1 Germany does not make it news.

    The difference between calling illegal immigrants "illegal immigrants" and just plain old "immigrants" is negligible, especially because there were more than just illegals in the protests, and it was more than just the rights of the illegals that were at stake. Regular, ol' fashioned immigrants were fighting for their rights as well.

    Finally, who is to say that Google is not censoring the other side? I don't happen to look at Google's Arabic news, and I can't read or speak the language, so I can't definitively say one way or the other. If you're harping on Al Jazeera being cited as news, what is their replacement?

    How can you set up a webserver in Malaysia if Malaysia is blocking your IP. My router won't do much to stop them, but mine, and yours, and theirs will. Shitcan all of Russia. Everywhere. Think of it as Digital Sanctions. Until the government shapes up, no data in, no data out.

    By the same token, one could easily create VCs for guaranteed traffic, and still leave the rest of the traffic fight it out on another VC. As long as you ensure bandwidth on both of them, then you can still have premium services without impacting the internet. The customer wins, the providers win, the hardware companies win. We just need bigger pipes to do it.

    Such is the dynamic web, I guess. You take a dynamic news site, throw a dynamic company at it, sprinkle liberally with a few trolls and fanboys, and you get a perpetual P.R. machine.

  15. You want to prevent forking? on Sun to Release Java Source Code · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Create a strong community with strong corporate involvement. If somebody does fork the code, the project will either die or be assimilated back into the main branch. Don't worry too much about others, just make sure that Sun will stand behind an official community. And standing behind them also means listening to them, even the ideas that you don't like.

    Look at Perl. It's open source, and hasn't really forked. It has, however, evolved.

    Okay, like the wii is going to be all fun and stuff, and I'm like totally going to play it and be all like 'WHEEEE', because that's the name of the thing, well, not exactly the name, but they sound the same and that's what nintendo is going for with the name, and like dude, you're going to have actual light saber battles and you'll hear like the totally cool doppler effect if you play the new Zelda, and omigod I'm so going to run right out and get one and be like all 'WHEEEE!!!one!' but I think that I mentioned that already and this is totally a run on sentence as I haven't used like any of that lame ass faggy punctiation, except for the comma splice that overweight fat bitch of an english teacher warned me about, but she's totally an ex-box chick so I don't have to listen to a goddamned word she says, cause I'm going to be rocking out to my new Nintendo console while she's busy overheating her ex-box power supply and Mr. Schmidt, the P.E. teacher is sitting there with a totally kickass PS3 and no games to play because they couldn't get a dev kit out to all those homo developers, and for the price of one PS3, I've got the wii (remember: WHEEEE) and like six or seven great titles with plumbers and shit.

    What if the consequences of their actions were to be shipped off to Gitmo? What if it were to be publicly discredited with misinformation? The administration has given reason enough for a whistleblower to be afraid. There is no need for them to become either a martyr or pariah.

    No, in the eyes of the government, we are all assets, and are protected as such. Any asset or group of asset wishing to upset the status quo is moved to the basement, the same way I had to move my circa 1970 pole lamp because it clashed with, well, everything.
