No he isn't. He's just as bad, or worse. Just because you're got some kind of facebook stockholm syndrome doesn't mean the rest of us should just fall in line and consider him a decent member of society. He's garbage that abused a lot of people to get where he is, and he continues to abuse those people.
Zuckerberg is hardly what I'd consider a positive role model, unless you feel screwing over millions of people by selling their personal information to the highest bidder while simultaneously looking down on them all as plebs is a virtue.
The point is what they're doing is already illegal. Making it more illegal isn't going to convince them to stop, nor will it make them easier to catch.
What changes is very little. If a telemarketer is honest he'll probably be playing by the rules already - however these people are scammers. They're not going to suddenly start changing the way they operate because the FTC said "stop, or we'll say stop again!". It's not like most of the marks these people are going after will even be aware of such changes.
...most people continue to silently not really care, because the PS2 is so far removed from the last generation that only a small subset of people will actually be interested in this.
They really should have focused their efforts on the PS3.
...or you could just deprecate physical currency entirely which would not only save the government a lot of money, it would make it pretty hard for someone to rob you without leaving a fairly obvious trail.
....except you've pretty much just shown us why Perl isn't gaining any popularity - stuff exactly like that gets written in it a lot, and most programmers would prefer not to have their code look like someone threw up on the screen.
Are you unaware of how programming works, or are you just stupid?
Fundamental programming concepts rarely change that much between languages. A great many of us learned to write software in languages we don't even use anymore.
Welcome to the brave new world, where making everything girl friendly is the only acceptable answer. Since women apparently do not want to join willingly we have to ramp up the propaganda machine to fix those percentages!
This is weapons grade stupid. This ranks up there with "let's talk about the best editor". People who write articles like this aren't actually attempting to make a point we should care about. They're talking for the sake of hearing themselves talk.
We're in a constant rush to get a better processor in to a smartphone, and yet the current gen chips are still heavily underutilized. I have an old Galaxy S2 i9100 in my desk that still performs well enough to do all modern tasks. My aging HTC M8 which is coming up on its second birthday is still as zippy as ever.
What exactly are we racing towards more powerful phone hardware to do?
Apple often goes to great lengths to try to make us believe that they've fixed the problem. I'm not suggesting Apple is better or worse than those other companies, only that it's a more important issue than what goes on in their app store.
Such Hypocrisy is shared by most large companies. As much as I don't like Apple, they are hardly unique in this. I'd be more worried about their continued human rights violations that they repeatedly claim they've dealt with.
This is what happens when you drink Apple's "no viruses/trojans on OS X" koolaid and aren't vigilant to the reality that all computers regardless of OS are susceptible.
Someone who sells cloud storage advocates that it's safer than doing it yourself. The question isn't worth much until it's answered by someone with no horse in the race.
All they have to do is publish someone's name and whether or not there's evidence to support the claim that person will be smeared. The problem with Anonymous groups doxing is that you can't be sure what their motives are, or if they're telling the truth. They also have zero accountability.

I'd fire all the editors at slashdot and replace them with competent people.

I used to like Airwolf as a kid. I mean, what's not to like? High tech (for the time) super-fast chopper zipping around blowing up the bad guys!
Then I went back and watched it again years later. Oh man.
Let your childhood television shows live in your mind as pleasant memories. Don't try to relive the moment. The truth is not pretty.

Certain torrent sites would disagree with this statement:

which means you can't take anything said here at face value. They purposefully write shitty sensationalist content in order to drive traffic.
I already understand and can read perl and regex quite well. That doesn't stop people from writing code that honestly looks like dogshit.

OK, so now that you've dropped all this information, the nefarious plot is where exactly?
Except the goal isn't to teach Minecraft. The kids already know that part.

Probably because boeing would charge another $750,000 for that feature.
Or just shoot them. Bullets are cheaper, and crocodiles can't shoot back.
