I am curious about the technology. I don't know anything about high-speed rail, and quickly glancing over the article it didn't seem to mention what I was looking for.
Would there be any environmental benefit (reduced emissions, for example)?
It does NOT pop up a message box, it's not executable code. It doesn't propagate. It's not a virus, simply a string of text that is recognized as one by every major AV software.
"You can also brilliantly modify cover objects - if you're hiding behind a crate and want to take out enemies without popping up from behind it, shoot a hole in it."
Space Invaders has had this feature for a while now.
It's completely decentralized (Wave). You download a customized (and open source) XMPP server. Once that's set up, you're running your own Wave server.
I'm not sure I agree with your "freedom for code" statement. I don't think that's implied in anything I've ever heard Stallman say, although I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "Church of FSF", so maybe you're talking about something else.
But from my understanding, the 'Freedom' in 'Free' software is freedom for the user to do what he wishes with said software. Because, as you've pointed out, it wouldn't make much sense otherwise.
I'm absolutely not defending EA, so I guess this is OT, but your analogy is terrible. Sometimes we're forced to do unpleasant things. If I was at risk of physical harm, I would be 'forced' to use violence if I wanted to prevent that harm. It's something that is atrocious to me but something I would be willing to do if necessary. And I might say, "I don't want to hurt you, but you're forcing me".
There are still a lot of people connected directly to the internet, or even intentionally placed in a DMZ for some apps that have a long list of random ports that need to be opened.
I don't see what's delusional about what he's saying here. He's focused on keeping computer power in the hands of the individual, that seems to be what he's after. And indeed web apps cause exactly the opposite effect.
He's fucking crazy, yes. I mean, look at the guy. But he's not delusional.
When you say Canada has some of the best covert operations and communications interceptions people in the world, what are you basing that statement on?
Not only do they not want to support it, they do not want their name to be associated with a shitty user experience on generic hardware, if indeed that were to happen.
I went to see him in Quito, Ecuador, at a local university. I was thinking the same thing. He was picking at his messy hair and scratching (I think) his nose. It was a pretty conservative looking crowd (especially for mainly computer science students). He delivered the whole speech in quite fluent Spanish, and the audience loved him.
I got especially concerned when he went into the whole Church of Emacs thing. They are extremely Catholic down there and I half-expected someone to get offended. But they were slapping their knees laughing.
I dunno, he seems to be doing an OK job to me.

Where do you come from?
Oops, my bad. Thanks for the info!
Sorry to reply to my own post, but what I originally intended to point out was that it cannot be called from a batch file, as it's not executable.

Gneiss won!
In your opinion, what's the difference between public data and private data?

Immature people absolutely belong in a virtual environment that is modeled after the real world.
Don't know about you, but _I_ want my kids to learn how to deal with these whackjobs. :P

Nothing to do with tyranny.
That being said, EA stinks.

Does anyone know what the articles mean when they say the malware 'hooks on' to Internet Explorer? How are they automating these browser requests?
Get the Internet Channel and go to your MythWeb address.

It is! Oh joy.
I thought this might be about the jungle under my desk.
No shit. I wish I had mod points.
Why would you do that? Just print the parts and assemble them.

That's what I was wondering... after glossing over the article for 3 seconds, I couldn't determine if they seriously just pinged all these addresses.
