On top of it there's nothing open about them. No source, no open development, community, etc. Its just a company that tracks people and breaks NXDOMAIN. Man, is running bind on something so hard? There's even a pretty nice dumbed down GUI windows port called Treewalk.
Whatever the e-mail authors may have said to one another in (supposed) privacy, however, what matters is how they acted. And the fact is that, in the end, neither they nor the IPCC suppressed anything: when the assessment report was published in 2007 it referenced and discussed both papers.
Keep it up deniers, Im sure your corporate masters are laughing all the way to the bank while you cry all the way to the grave.
>That seems like a lot of work for a "fun little hoax", although with a profit motive I suppose there's a lot of people that will spend a lot of time creating something that they can foist on the gullible.
I dont know why people cant accept that this thing is just a fun little hoax from 500 years ago. 16th century people had senses of humor and mystery too. Someone concocted it for shits and giggles or perhaps from a serious mental illness. Its a shame this person isnt around today to hear these tales of connections with da vinci, aliens, etc. Shame, for now it just brings out the "Dan Brown is the realz" crowd and other conspiracy nutters.
Yes, thats correct. Intel's new SlowStep technology saves you power when you waste it most: watching youtube videos, playing games, etc. The industry, along with your parents, just want you to read a book now and again.
>Maybe he was worst than Hitler, Mussolini and Saddam combined, maybe he was another Gandhi, he simply didn't had the time to do anything, so no, I won't judge him for stuff he didn't do.
Considering he's a multi-millionaire and his organization and people are estimated to have assets in the tens of millions, he hasnt paid anyone one penny back in reparations for serfdom, or paid anyone as reparations for cutting off their hands or for blinding them. He's shown nothing of the sort. All evidence points to him simple being the guy who continues to status quo.
Yet hes does nothing to remedy it. His fortunes are estimated in the tens of millions but I have seen zero reparations to the people who his regime blinded, beat, cut the hands off, oppressed, etc. Not a dime.
>Show me were I did that.
Read your own fucking posts. Your coy "but, but he could have been a reformer" is the stuff of fantasy. SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING BUT THE STATUS QUO. You are talking out of your ass here and its embarrassing that I keep having to point this out to you.
>I didn't say he would. I said he could be or not. We simply don't know.
Dont play this stupid coy game. Either you make a claim or stand by it or you dont. You keep suggesting that things could be better but when I ask you for evidence I dont see it. Unlike other REAL reformers, we dont see the seed of reformation in the society. We dont see anything like the enlightenment, mass demonstrations, an atheistic movement, a secular movement, etc. We just see horrible oppression. Unless you have some real cites then its 100% logical to think it would have been business as usual and that his religion produced a hell on earth unlike anything outside of 1940s Germany.
How would he be a reformer? What makes you even think that? I mean, youre engaging in wishful thinking. The burden of proof is on YOU and its highly disingenious to divorce the man from the system and culture he was born into a briely led. I cant imagine anyone takes your opinion seriously.
Here's the deal, you dont get secularism and the enlightenment, human rights, and western ideals by suppressing speech, torturing children, and running a horrible, horrible theocracy. Seriously, the history of Tibet is known and understood and we do not see the burgeoning movement of reform, instead we see monks cutting off hands and raping children. We see people with next to zero rights. Its incredible how much of a dystopia your beloved Lama and Buddhism has produced. It makes North Korea and 1940s Germany look like a pleasant place to be!
Everything you need to know about pre-invasion Tibet is written by Michael Parenti. It was an oppressive feudal theocracy. Here's a snippet:
The Tibetan serfs were something more than superstitious victims, blind to their own oppression. As we have seen, some ran away; others openly resisted, sometimes suffering dire consequences. In feudal Tibet, torture and mutilation--including eye gouging, the pulling out of tongues, hamstringing, and amputation--were favored punishments inflicted upon thieves, and runaway or resistant serfs. Journeying through Tibet in the 1960s, Stuart and Roma Gelder interviewed a former serf, Tsereh Wang Tuei, who had stolen two sheep belonging to a monastery. For this he had both his eyes gouged out and his hand mutilated beyond use. He explains that he no longer is a Buddhist: "When a holy lama told them to blind me I thought there was no good in religion."21 Since it was against Buddhist teachings to take human life, some offenders were severely lashed and then "left to God" in the freezing night to die. "The parallels between Tibet and medieval Europe are striking," concludes Tom Grunfeld in his book on Tibet. 22
In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited an exhibition of torture equipment that had been used by the Tibetan overlords. There were handcuffs of all sizes, including small ones for children, and instruments for cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes, breaking off hands, and hamstringing legs. There were hot brands, whips, and special implements for disemboweling. The exhibition presented photographs and testimonies of victims who had been blinded or crippled or suffered amputations for thievery. There was the shepherd whose master owed him a reimbursement in yuan and wheat but refused to pay. So he took one of the master's cows; for this he had his hands severed. Another herdsman, who opposed having his wife taken from him by his lord, had his hands broken off. There were pictures of Communist activists with noses and upper lips cut off, and a woman who was raped and then had her nose sliced away
The idea that another god-king would have brought in reforms needs some kind of cite. If anything this Lama was no different than the rest. Heck, he was even admittted that if China ever lets Tibet go he would built a western-style government based on the SECULAR enlightenment, not the bullshit fairytales of his religion and all its abuses. Educate yourself before you start defending theocracies on the internet.

>Who's to say that as time went forward during his reign, things wouldn't have changed naturally and of their own course?
Michael Parenti has written extensively about pre-invasion Tibet. It was a harmful theocracy run on the feudal system. It wanst just "under-developed." Money, law, etc was dictated by monks. Serfs had few rights. It was a human rights nightmare.
I dont know why people who have a political interest in Tibet cant simply accept that all theocracies are terrible because its a terrible form of government. This one was no different. Even the Lama himself has said that if Tibet would be freed it would not be anything like the old oppressive state, but a Western-style government based on the SECULAR enlightenment. Funny how that works.
>Invading Tibet wasn't a move to "free" the people of Tibet, it was a move to seize the territory during a time of political instability.
Actually it was both. An idealistic revolution isnt going to sit there and have a feudal theocracy on its border, especially one with a mismanaged military that would be easy to take.
Lets see, we have a murder every few days. Two blocks from my home someone was almost stabbed to death while walking home and I dont even live in one of the "bad" neighborhoods. The first warm weekend of Spring usually means multiple murders as gang members start going outdoors. Chicago is really in the middle of a serious gang epidemic and the cameras are a response to that. Theres a camera box mounted outside most schools, if not all, and on intersections where there is high crime and high gang activities. There are two near me because my neighborhood borders a much worse neighborhood and there is often spillover. While the ACLU-part of me understands the complaints, its important to remember that all politics is local.
Are you kidding? Yoda looks like a rag doll in the originals. The cantina puppets are pretty bad and Jabba's palace is a B-quality muppet showcase. If anything, CGI is producing a seamlessness that is impossible with the old techniques.
If you cannot suspend your disbelief then thats your problem, not anyone else's.
>jar jar binks super imposed cartoon characters.
Thats an implementation issue, not a technological one. There's tons of CGI in those movies that looks amazing. In fact, I suspect its so good you dont even know its CGI. Blame Lucas and his people for skimping out when it came to their ridiculous Jamaican amphibian. If anything, it was probably a design decision to make JarJar look more cartoony and less realistic than the other CGI.
That "smart" scammers have moved to the more unregulated world of cell phone charges. I got a text message from "Gamer data" about some cheat codes out of the blue one day and a 9.95 monthly service charge. AT&T was borderline unhelpful in removing it until I started yelling, I wonder what percentage of that 9.95 they pocket?
The FTC needs to crack down on Gamer Data and the rest and we need regulations that require some kind of authorization for these charges, like an AT&T rep or robot voice calling to verify.
Sorry but thats pretty crappy advice. He should be recommending free alternatives, not jumping ship. He should also expect to see some license irregularities time from time, especially in small business. He should bring this up, with the working alternatives. If you quit every job with a challenge then you'll end up no where.
7Zip is free and OSS. Replace Winzip with that. Heck, XP has its own zip handler installed. A lot of techies assumed that XP needs a zip program because 2000 didnt have one. Get rid of it.
Exactly. I cant tolerate the site. Its just self-righteous muckraking. The MPAA lawsuits are bad enough. Why do these sites, slashdot included, misrepresent facts, overblow everything, and dont bother following up with corrections? Hmm, ad impressions? Theres your real corporate conspiracy. Perhaps we can throw kdawson and cory doctorow down the well we end up throwing the MPAA down. One can dream...
Or just set them up as user and NOT administrator and still use the Windows they paid for. Modern apps run fine as user. Setup auto-update, put on a free AV scanner like Security Essentials, and off you go.
When it comes to family I just lock them down. I dont have time to let them play with admin rights and then think they can call me when they download nakedphotos.exe.
>Watch the coverage of any "demonstration" shown on any news show.
Bullshit. FOX didnt even cover the big gay rights event in DC a couple of weeks ago. I dont know why some people just cant accept FOX as the partisan outlet they are. Incredible.
>they just helped get the word out about what other people were doing (eg, reporting the news).
When you call an event with 10k people to have 40k people, when your producers are getting the crowd to shout for the cameras, and your opinion shows are showing footage of larger crowds from months ago, then guess what, YOU ARE MANUFACTURING THE NEWS.
We've seen it before with Fox with the elementary school kids who sang a song about Obama. Fox airs it, says "people are talking," and then their opinion shows say the same thing. This is creating controversy and promoting Rupert Murdoch's views. Its not reporting. Its laughable to think it is.
Is this a joke? Of course Google knew there was another Go. They just didnt care and didnt expect it to get a reaction. Heck, its still a tempest in a teapot. I doubt theyre going to change it because some blogs have picked up on the story.
