I've never had my desk crash, losing all pieces of paper on it. Contrast that to Windows.
I must be running a "different" Windows than everyone else here. My Windows install has never crashed and lost my document. Indeed, it's never crashed on me at all.
Google is one of the most anti-privacy, intrusive evil corporations out there, second only to Facebook. They make a living over promiscuous sharing of personal data. Why should I trust them?
Have they ever lied to you about what they do? I don't use Google under any misinformed idea that they *don't* track everything I do. I go into it knowing that this *is their business*.
There are a lot of "cute" AP names around, but mine is what the thing came with. The extent of my interest in that equipment is knowing I've properly secured it, and occasionally looking at the access logs. Beyond that I don't care. I've already thought about it way too much today.
A business publically distancing themselves from the Scientology cult and no longer being connected, are two different things.
The Scientology cultists are all about *money*, so if a "church" connection is detrimental, they would probably try to hide it. That's the way cults are.
If the general response to their efforts is "Get a life", they will have deserved it.
Indeed.
I believe that the successful vector for fighting this type of regulatory nonsense *MUST* come from the game companies. They are really the only force that can significantly influence the politicos. It's about money, folks.
but whatever their reasons are for leaving (either humanitarian or because they got hacked)
One would hope these reasons had something to do with it, but I'm inclined to think the limited market share verse cost has something to do with it as well. Google China is a huge money pit for Google, and they can always return at a later date.
The 29 websites were identified in a statement (in Farsi) released on a website operated by the Revolutionary Guards.
Most of these sites redirected to one site. But in all cases, they are minor sites run by random people, just like 1,000,000,000's of others on the Interwebs with negligable or non-existent "security". These are mostly "here today, gone tomorow" type web sites. This hardly qualifies as serious hacking of secure government-backed web sites.
I've got 6 web sites and 25 mission critical apps running on a cluster of 10 Commodore 64s. It started out with just one, but as our business expanded, we just kept adding them on. It would be a bear to migrate to MS-DOS or Windows 1.0, but maybe it's time. The acoustic coupler modem is a bit slow, but it's been working for us since 1990, it's hard to justify the upgrage.
Well, some people would like to know how it happened. Bad egg working at a NewEgg supplier? And really, that's a lot of effort to make "fakes" that no one would see until they opened the box, at which point, the gig's up anyway.
Neil McAllister takes a deeper look at HTML5, outlining what developers should expect from this overhaul of HTML -- one that some believe could put an end to proprietary Web technologies such as Flash and Silverlight.
Good luck on getting Microsoft to sign off on that for IE. They are unlikly to incorporate a standard that eliminates one or more of their "technologies".
When the networks stop relying on all these mindless Reality Shows "staring" all these narcissistic morons, I'll give a shit. I don't have Cablevision, but if Comcast dropped ABC, I wouldn't really care.
You know, I can't think of a Spam domain that I've checked that uses a proxy service. Most are registered in Russia or China with addresses - that are probably fake.
'That flood of options should be a good thing -- but it's not. In fact, it's a self-destruction derby in action, as phones come out with different versions of the Android OS, with no clear upgrade strategy for either the operating system or the applications users have installed, and with inconsistent deployment of core features. In short, the Android platform is turning out not to be a platform at all, but merely a starting point for a universe of incompatible devices,'
Then dont put your UNLOCKED door in my house! This is the internets
This argument is used all the time, but it really doesn't apply. Leaving your door unlocked is not consent, implied or otherwise, for anyone to waltz on in.
That doesn't justify morons running the site in question, but like many anecdotal arguments, it doesn't hold much water in the real world.
Watch all the geeks hyperventilate as they pant out "Streisand Effect... Blaw, blaw, blaw..." like the IOC gives a shit. It's about money, folks, the IOC couldn't care less about "how it makes them look". And really, very few people will even be aware of this guy, even with your precious "Streisand Effect". The truth is, "The Games" are (today) a joke.

China is taking its lead from North Korea on the propaganda front?

...but since the client just assumed they would accept a check they did it out of professional courtesy?
Yes, a Professional Courtesy. One slimy shark to another.

Where you under some other impression?

now if Mozilla threw millions of quid at TV advertising...
It would be messy and constitute animal cruelty.

This is what's called "propaganda".
Liar! The web wasn't invented till after 1990. You lie, you invented the web didn't you!
That's a bunch of BBS, baby!
This guide is *GREAT!*

What China should fear is instead the risk of having their connection to the rest of the internet cut off or at least limited.
Why? It would be an irrational fear. There will always be corporate whores willing to do China's bidding for profit. Bing!

90% of the traffic by a relatively small subset of the consumers. They hates it.
That very well may be. But are these users violating their TOS? Did they pay for "all you can eat"?

I guess Steve's Reality Distortion Field (TM) has finally begun to break down
People said the same thing about the iPhone, and we all know haow that turned out...
One man's shameless plug is another man's conflict of interest.
One man's conflict of interest is another man's over-blown nonsense hardly worth thinking about.
Silly, cheerleaders don't know how to use laptops.
But they know how to give lap dances!

Much like Linux...
