He should swap out Opus for Tux and write jokes about file systems and text editors. Now that would be funny, and would no doubt boost his circulation.
I'm your age and when I think of Reagan I think of the Iran Contra scandal (which marks the beginning of my political awareness). I feel like I've never really known honest and open government in this country, and wonder if it ever actually existed. I'd certainly like to see it sometime before 2029.
The initial firings may well be illegal if they were an attempt to obstruct justice. If you're not wearing your blinders, it's crystal clear that's what they were.
This isn't censorship - It's a decertification. We wouldn't want doctors who reject most of modern medical theory performing surgery on us. Why would we expect any less of our climatologists?
Like the huge swath of real estate that's supposed to open up in the VHF bands. Unfortunately most of that is earmarked for corporate interests (without public discussion, really?).
At this point the FCC is so far gone from its original purpose, I say bring on the pirates.
How about if you have a government that colludes with business? Hypothetical, I know.
He did the effective thing. Illegal, maybe, but a hell of a lot more effective than running to a government agency.
How much disconnect is there between the DoJ finding search strings interpreted by them as criminal activity, and their demanding the IP addresses that made them? And why do so many people still trust the intentions of our government?
I don't buy this. There is obviously profit to be made. But the Chinese knowing there is content out there that other governments let their citizens have is enough to add some kindling to a real democratic movement.
Why are we holding Google to a higher standard than anyone else adheres to? Just because of the motto? This could do some actual good in a few years time. Censoring the internet is a fool's errand anyhow. Determined people will find a way to get what they want.
This movie is being promoted via blogspace with private screenings and who knows what other incentives for those who mention and promote it.
First the poll, now the article.
Maybe it's a good movie, but this astroturf hyping is kind of lame.
It is suspect.
"Uh, to get back to the, uh, the warning that I've received you may take it with how many however many grains of salt you wish, that the 'Blue E' that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. Uh, it's suggested that you do stay away from that, course it's your own trip, so be my guest, but, uh, please be advised that there is a warning on that one ok?

We obviously need a campaign to preemptively remove corrupt politicians from office.

I hate sharing a country with people who think like you.

Okay, fair enough. But what recourse does that attitude leave you when the elections actually are being rigged?
Since 2003, the FCC no longer accepts applications for LPFM stations. Even so, those licenses were never available to individual broadcasters.

I like how Bush's way of "giving you a scholarship" is to dramatically cut education funding. What an asshole.

I don't know.. maybe we should ask John Lennon if Americans get touchy about their Jesus?

Dude, shouldn't you be cleaning out your office instead of posting on Slashdot?
