Folks, Facebook is a *BUSINESS*, and you are not the customer. What makes you think you *should* be able to vote on Facebook policies unless you are a stock holder?
You know, the Facebook Bitching is getting quite pathetic, from the tone of most of it, one might think people were actually being forced to be on Facebook.
But of course, that's not the case. In fact, it's like fast food: You don't like Big Macs? Don't eat at McDonald's for Christ's sake...
Seriously, I don't listen to Justin Bieber, either. You know why? I don't like Bieber's "music", and as yet there is nothing actually compelling me to listen to Mr. Bieber.
So all you Ant-Facebook folks, two points: 1.) Don't use Facebook. 2.) Stop bitching about Facebook, and get a life.
Well, that pretty much rules out my tastes, then. No thanks.
Indeed.
Even with Netflix, as far as streaming over the Intertubes, you're pretty much stuck with mainstream stuff. If you want any of the niche stuff, you're still stuck with ordering the DVD...
You're not seeing the big picture. Mouse movement patterns can predict attitudes, political orientation, sexual orientation, and how many pets someone owns. The r squared of the correlation is nearly 0.05 making it extremely interesting to analytic companies. There is a database somewhere of literally years of mouse movement records that demonstrate changes in religion, politics, and mean income. We're talking about a new marketing paradigm for the 21st century advertiser.
A *TEA* drinker, are you? You sound like you BATHE in a tub with TEA BAGS. Now get back to "prepping" your fucking BOMB SHELTER and counting your MREs and freeze dried corn chowder.
I like big butts and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist And a round thing in your face You get sprung Wanna pull up tough 'cause you notice that butt was stuffed Deep in the jeans she's wearing I'm hooked and I can't stop staring Oh, baby I wanna get with ya And take your picture My homeboys tried to warn me But that butt you got Make Me so horney Ooh, rump of smooth skin You say you wanna get in my benz Well use me use me 'cause you aint that average groupy
I like coffee. I REALLY LIKE COFFEE. I drink a lot of coffee. SURE I PEE A LOT, and YES well MAYBE but not REALLY, Iâ(TM)m NOT HIGH STRUNG. I just tell MY FRIENDS to MELLOW THE FUCK OUT. Itâ(TM)s not me, itâ(TM)s you. YOU MOTHER FUCKER. Not me, you. I love coffee. HOW FAST ARE WE GOING? I have things to do. Good bye⦠SERIOUSLY, GOOD FUCKING BYE. Good bye. I love coffee. Or is it cocaine, Iâ(TM)m not sure. Or maybe Iâ(TM)m a crack head? HELLO! HELLO! Yellow mellow. Coffee? Did someone say coffee? I love coffee. Mostly triple espressos, no water no ice. LOVE the drip. I LOVE THE FUCKING DRIP. Coffee that is.
Wow, you REALLY do not get third world countries at all.I've lived in several "third world countries", but I never think I can "change" the politics, I play by the rules and pay who needs to be paid.
It is amazing how little people understand about the way the world works outside of the major countries. To me Mcaffe's fear seems totally reasonable. The guy can be a bit weird at times, but that doesn't make him guilty.
Yes, but it does make him delusional for thinking that he either lived by some different special rules with different special privileges because HE was from a "first world" country, or equally as delusional thinking he had the power to change a corrupt Banana Republic...
The man is nuttier that rap crap in a pistachio factory.
Now I'm being managed.... What another good linux distro? Anyone?
It is so trivial to disable (and remove) this "feature" that bitching about it is almost meaningless and indeed borderlines on childishness.
In reality, it is not much different that an ad-supported application (such as Opera had at one time), except with those, you didn't have the freedom to permanently remove the ad without paying up - which is not the case here.
And of course, no one is forcing anyone to download and install Ubuntu, unless of course you are interested in a fairly easy to install distro that works out of the box with most modern equipment - which is a great thing for the less technically savvy.
In short, this is a non-issue and RMS is (as expected) over-reacting to something that doesn't fit into his perfect Socialist software society.
RMS is a great man, but like many great men, sometimes he's a raving lunatic.
Well of course, the French have always been into the "country cuisine" of squab and the like. I be interested to know what kind of wine, with their refined palate, these catfish are drinking?
I thought you could charge any amount you want for distribution...
Yes and no.
1. If you sell a binary that contains GPLv2 code, you must also make available the source code, and for distributing that source code, you can only charge a reasonable fee to cover costs.
But...
2. The binary you may charge whatever you want - 1 cent or $1000 or whatever.
Is that with or without a parachute? Because falling out of an airplane to a grizzy death doesn't sound so bad after you've been programming PHP all day.
I take it that you are not a C# programmer? Or maybe you a a Java guy who lost your mind years ago?
Please, God, cannot somebody please take that stupid abomination of a language Python out in back and shoot it in the head until dead. I have never used a less friendly piece of Monkey Pus than the "language" Python.
I've always loved PHP - it gives flexibity and I just love coding using it. But I know many people love Python too. What's more elegant and nicer in Python than PHP?
I've always like skydrive a lot more than dropbox due to it's more lax restrictions. Nothing to do with the programming language whatsoever.
I too prefer to skydive rather than program in PHP. Personal preference, I suppose...
But on-line or not, are you allowed to libel someone without consequences?
From the oracleWikipedia:
libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)â"is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation a negative or inferior image.
Did she file a Police Report? Is this theft story simply bullshit because she had some "issue" with the contractor?
You know, it's hard to tell, but it will all come out in court.
But if it's all bullshit and the lady is full of it, than she did indeed damage the company and she is guilty of libel, and she needs to understand that this is not how you handle things in a civilized society.
Perhaps if she had some "issue" that was "legitimate", she should have hired a lawyer?

Not sure if there would be time to deploy the military shuttle thing...
By amazing coincidence, they just launched the "military shuttle thing" -

Naturally Microsoft will have him arrested, right? Right? I mean, if it were some random hacker they would, right? 15 years in the Grey Bar Hotel?
I am... Humbled...
Of course what you failed to mention is that Microsoft only did this because the European Commission forced them to
Perhaps this is so NOW. But it will be interesting to see what direction Microsoft takes after Steve Ballmer's departure in 2013.
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
'cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me 'cause you aint that average groupy

John McAfee, famed antivirus software pioneer and human rights advocate...
I would have worded that slightly differently. Maybe something like this:
John McAfee, famed antivirus software pioneer, paranoiac, hedonistic designer drug addict, possible crack head, and guy with a really bad dye job...
Yes... Maybe something like that.

So, basically, the Patent Office simply "rubber stamps" this kind of thing and says "leave it to the courts"?
I wonder how these "patent examiners" live with their mediocrity? I'm envisioning Amadeus' Salieri...
