And inefficient government fix that actually causes more problems then what they are supposed to protect us from?
Guess what, government? Spending money doesn't always fix problems, mainly when the problems are making the laws.
I'm going out on a limb here, but our government isn't fix able, it's going to get worse, until we have no rights, or we have a new government installed.
I am more scared of my own government then I am of any terrorist group. I'm not scared to ride public transport, I'm scared that my government is going to kick in my door, to arrest me for no reason. I'm scared that my government has apparently sold itself to some corporations.
Any service that requires me to log in thru another source I will NOT use. It's bad enough i have a facebook account, but to actually use it, hell no. I hide from my relatives for a reason.
Much like Zune, no one wants the crappy Windows 8 phone. Give it up. You failed, you are NOT apple.
Find your own niche, and enjoy it.
Your like the kid that is always a year or 2 behind the fashion of the other kids. You think you are cool, because you are wearing last years fashion, but the other peeps are laughing at you.
How long will it be until we can build a supercomputer that can span the Universe and if the Universe suffers a heat death it could just remake the whole Universe as it stored the state of everything within? Therefore humanity could survive even the end of the whole Universe in 100,000,000,000,000 years time. The short story the Last Question made quite an impression on me and surely with the current evolution in technology we could create a God computer eventually that would exist outside of anything we could comprehend. That would be mind-blowing.
In what sense, exactly does science grow more powerful? In my experience, sciences grows more expensive, less funded, more hyped, less understood, and overall less heeded.
Cosmic & Gamma rays dude. Don't you read Marvel Comics?
I'm a struggling open source artist trying to make some cash, but as long as pirates are allowed to download what they want.. well, they will download the popular songs and not mine. By fighting against piracy, we open source artists win as people have to listen to our music instead.
This is not only true for music, but also software development and everything else FOSS. If anti-piracy would win, then so would open source software.
Let me take a guess.
You make music, you try to sell it. You don't do any advertising and want to blame you lack of success on pirates.
Here's a better idea. Give your music away for free online. Get it out to as many ears as you can. Do shows. Sell CD's, shirts, whatever you want at the shows.
You looking to be rich? It's going to take a lot of work, because you need to advertise.
Like right now, you can have a link to your website or something, but do you? No.
I have no idea what sort of music you play, if it's good, or what not. What i do know is you are whining like a bitch about piracy when the problem is yourself.
We should use that money for investing in our nation and pay it back in better times.
It makes sense to borrow money at low (or negative) interest rates to invest in infrastructure, education, etc., because those investments will lead to higher growth in the future. But that is not what we are doing. We are borrowing money to put off dealing with entitlement reform. Spending money on pensions and healthcare for 80 year olds is pure consumption, and is not an investment in future growth. Pensions and healthcare for retirees are important, but funding them with borrowed money is insane.
Dude, the amount of money we are spending on pensions and healthcare are pocket change compared to what we are spending on military.
We need to cut back on military spending and get our country in shape.
The cloud is such a nice thing to talk about. It will take care of everything, except the main problem the ISP are bringing to the table.
Download limits.
I recently got my internet shut off because I downloaded over 250gb. You'd think 250gb is enough, but it isn't. Sure, it's enough if I didn't do anything, but being disabled and using Internet most the day.
Here's the best example i know of. You use an online backup, and you then lose a harddrive. lets just say, you lost a 1TB harddrive that you had 300gbs of data backup online. Well, damn, if you try to restore that info to your computer, you'll be over your monthly limit.
That is cloud power for ya. Ya, we got the cloud, do you have true unlimited downloads? No? Then you will find cloudless skies, since your internet will be turned off.
For the record, I got my internet turned back on that day, because it was a policy they just decided to enforce without telling anyone, and it's bullshit, like the customer service person thought what I was talking to him. In fact, he didn't even know they had a download limit. No big surprise there.
The cloud is a joke, because the ISP's are limiting us to very very very little download.
In your mind, where is the heart of today's computer hobbyists. I read Make magazine, I own an Arduino, some Raspberry Pis, a couple XBees, etc. I'm probably too young to remember the glory days of machines you could actually open and tinker with so could you tell me today where I can find the closest thing to that? Or at least where you go to satiate your inner tinkerer?
Maker fairs dude. You claim to read the Make magazine, yet claim to not know where all the tinkerers go? Seriously? Maker fairs are the big thing these days. Covers everything. And you want to find some peeps like Steve? Come over to comp.sys.apple2 usenet group, lots of old tinkerers on that group. One of the few old computer groups that are still going.
Seriously though, why are you asking questions you should know the answer to?
This would scare the crap out of me. I can do any ride in an amusement park. Tallest, fastest, upside down... doesn't matter. Put me on a Ferris wheet and I'm grabbing the bar with white knuckles. I think it is the fact that I just have time to look out at the world and wonder about the minimum wage carnie who maintains the machine. That and the person sitting next to me can decide to start rocking the damn thing...
No, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'd rather be on the 70mph dragster than on a small Ferris wheel.
word, you and me both.
Can not stand Ferris wheels. I think the problem is, they go way too slow and you can't smoke weed usually when you are the top, because of the damn wind!!!!
I'm a Christian and I completely agree with you. Many "Christians" don't even read the Bible. Also, going to church doesn't make one a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
I bet a lot of people say they are Christian when they aren't.
If I'm searching for a product, why wouldn't I want Ubuntu to point me to people selling it? It's a money making scheme which actually benefits the users. Ads are annoying because they push products you aren't looking for. Intelligent search results are just better search results. They're showing me what I'm looking for.
Weird, when I want something, I just use google. If i want something from amazon, I can go to amazon's web page. If I want something from Newegg, I go to Neweggs web site. Otherwise, I use google and see what the various pricing is like.
Justify this all you want, but lets be real. It's about Ubuntu making more money and changing the face of linux forever, and not for the good.
I don't know, but this seems like something you need help with. And how likes to fuck with religious groups? Anonymous. How to get a hold of anonymous? 4chan,/b/, ask for help. Explain what is going on, and how you feel helpless to do anything about it.
Peeps will get info, dox, and maybe even start some trouble.
Because chances are, asking here isn't going to get shit done.
Slashdot Mirror
What happened to earth having a fragile ecosystem?
Why is the search for oil so important, that we will risk destroying parts of this fragile ecosystem just to get more?
How much corporate greed are we going to allow before we say enough?
And these people can NEVER be wrong. You know the type, when they make a mistake, they will come up with some really stupid reason on why it's okay.
Apple:
Your holding it wrong.
Purple flair is normal.
Seriously Apple? You care about your customers that much?
Talk about the abusive relationship. Apple in it's wife beaters and apple fanboys with their black eyes, coming back and back and back for more...

My government scares me, not the terrorist.

I'm pretty sure Douglas Adams covered all that.

Wow.
What happened to /.?
We are all celebrating the 15th anniversary, too busy to check for new posts.
Loved that site. Don't care for filelockers, but it had nice summaries of what was released. Now i guess i have to find another site like that.
I didn't realize wikileaks was taken down in that, figures.
Sticking with C.
How many computer languages do we need? Really?
It's bad enough that you don't trust javascript from webpages, now i have a new type not to trust?
Microsoft, i don't trust you, never have. fuck typescript, fuck Windows 8, and well, fuck you.
This is such crap. Before Napster I used to buy CDs often. After napster I stopped completely and so did a generation.
Sure you did. Sure you did.
Easy to claim anything when you won't put a name to it.

There is a lot of things to do via the internet, and apparently, watching Trees is the new thing.
Me? I'll stick with porn.
Though i guess if you are looking for wood...

FWIW, Kim Dotcom is a scheister with a history of extremely shady business dealings, but even criminals deserve justice.
Yep, well, it seems to me if he was such a bad character, then they wouldn't need to break laws and trample his rights bring him to justice.

As long as it's not pushing forced ads, I have no problem with Ubuntu setting up a shopping network and app sales.
They have to make money somehow and this seems like one of the less offensive services they could implement.
If they have to make money, why don't they sell drugs like everyone else?
