..and it's been going on for years. I posted about the false-flag terrorist operation September 11th 2001 in a Norwegian forum. Some guy sent me a private message there asking for more details about what I knew about it. I gave him a specially crafted link to one of my webservers and it was interesting, but not very shocking, to see this "17 year student" visiting from IP 158.112.84.2 - which belongs to the Norwegian military. I suspect most countries has a disinformation / "cyperspace" unit. It's all jolly to talk about how they do this in Thailand here in the west, but cyberwar and torture of people who write "wrong things" on the Internet, like Norway does on a regular basis, is apparently not newsworthy in the "free" western world.
"Google ads may not be displayed on adult or mature content. This includes displaying ads on pages that provide links for or drive traffic to adult or mature sites."
Google typically claims "adult or mature content" if you write about NATOs false-flag terrorist operations or other sensitive subjects, I'm used to that. But in this case I'm having a very hard time figuring out why google thinks a list of old poems is "adult or mature" content. Why Google Glass is banned from their shareholder meeting is anyone's guess, but it does make sense, google loves to censor and hates free speech. Just look at all the sites missing from their search index. If anyone can make a guess why old poems is "adult or mature" content then please help me out.
That's one of the reasons Wayland isn't investing effort into duplicating functionality that's in X11. It's no longer needed.
Same genious logic says that Bash and terminals in general are no longer needed now that we've got GUIs. News for you: Lots of people use the command line and removing it would be arrogant and as stupid as your "no longer needed" argument.
run VNC. Some of us want a fast responsive GUI that doesn't rely on 30 year old protocols.
Run VNC? Do you even understand how people use X? I guess not. I ssh into another box & run some program and up it pops on my local screen. Quick, easy, simple, works. Now, setting up VNC works in some cases, but now we are talking about something completely different and completely different use cases. You have some server somewhere, you want to run a GUI config program or whatever real quick, you just type the command and it works. You do not want to spend 15 minutes installing all sorts of VNC crap, configuring it remotely and locally and so on when you're already done in 30 seconds with todays X. I think you simply don't manage or use remote boxes.. atleast you've made it clear that you simply don't get it.
This is.. not entirely correct. Bitcoin is currently subject to 10% yoy inflation and this will stay about the same (decrease slightly) until 2017. We are talking 2029 until this "deflation" kicks in. That's not next week or next month, we are still about 16 years until this "inflation" claim becomes true. See http://btccharts.everdot.org/misc/bitcoin_inflation_vs_time.png or just look into it if you don't get it.
> Unlike with a real currency, there is no market for the bitcoins either.
Dude, really? There is something called MtGox out there. There are also other exchanges out there, the big ones are listed here:
http://bitcoinity.org/markets/list?currency=ALL&span=24h
The current market value of a Bitcoin is very easy to get, all you have to do is look at the ticker-price and you have it. Saying there is no market when BTC for millions of $USD is traded every hour is kind of ignorant. I'm guessing you haven't doubled your money lately?
I've traded a few bitcoins so I looked up the local rules and the rules for currency trading is basically the same as stock trading. Nothing special, you take gains minus losses and pay capital gains tax on that. duh!? I don't see how Canada saying that normal rules for currency sales & sales of goods and services in other currencies apply
to Bitcoin is "breaking news".
Here's the rules which apply to Swedish people:

Lets say you want to buy a wireless router or a house. You look at the price in Bitcoins based on todays BTC/USD value and buy enough bitcoins in the market and pay for the item. It really doesn't make a difference what the value of the BTC currency is or if the price is BTC or USD, the only differences is that 1) paying in BTC requires an extra step to get and 2) it's much simpler to actually pay/move the money when you have the BTC. I have no problem selling anything in BTC, including my apartment, since BTC is as good as / better than any fiat paper currency.
If HTC goes Windows they are dead. Today the market for Windows phones is small, the amount of apps low compared to Android and iPhone, so no thanks Windows.
Bullshit: Only Nokia is stupid enough to put all their eggs in one basket say "We only make Windows phones and nothing else and that's smart because we say so.". HTC makes Windows Phones. Samsung makes Windows Phones. But you don't see them because HTC and Samsung also make Android phones and they make a lot more of them and they sell a lot more of them. IF Windows Phone 8 becomes a "hit" / popular then you'll instantly see everyone making Android also becoming Windows Phone makers. If HTC were to be equally stupid and say "From now on we ONLY make Windows Phones" then that would be bad, making a lot of different phones and seeing what sells is smart.
I see some comments above saying Google can't possible do this and make a profit. I live in a rural area of Sweden and we got fiber to this small area years ago. And yes, we can have 1 GB/s if we pay for it, but it's quite expensive so most people go with 10/100mbit or 100/100mbit. Sure, you won't get 100mbit when downloading from China but you do mostly get it when downloading from Europe (and that means that most torrents download at full speed). 1 GB/s isn't "magic" or "impossible", it's just seems like magic because the US is years behind places like Sweden, Japan, Korea, etc. Locally 10/100 costs $52/month, 100/100 cost $62/month. 1GB/s costs $156/month. Google offers 1 GB/s for about half the price of what it costs here, so they are doing good, but still: I'm not that impressed.
I too used KMail as my e-mail client all through the KDE3 times and I too found it annoying that the Akonadi-Nepomuk crap ruined the whole kdepim suite. And we are at KDE 4.10.1 now and it's 2013 and KMail/KDEPIM is still a buggy mess. I use claws-mail and Xfce4 as desktop now.
I bought my phone for cash. It came with a prepaid SIM card. It did not say anything anywhere about the phone being locked to the Swedish Comviq corporation. It took me about 5 minutes to root and unlock the phone, but still, I found that very annoying. The ICA Maxi grocery store should have had a sign or something that said the $90 Samsung GIO phone was locked. For for laws against unlocking, it's apparently better to be in the completely undemocratic European Union than being in the United States of Fascism...
I trust that the software at http://f-droid.org/ does not do bad things, I do not trust the Google appstore the same way. This is why I removed all the Google spyware my phone came with, including GoogleServicesFramework.apk... the downside is obviously that I can't use the Google Play market but who cares
TELL US MORE about the benefits of maintaining DEAD UNUSABLE remote code!
Please tell me more about how I don't run remote programs on my local X11 screen over the Internet every single day. Please tell me more about how all the people who find this feature very usefull and use it daily wil be happy without that feature.
Except that with Bitcoin the developers are telling users and specially miners to stay with the older 0.7 version until there is a "good" 0.8 versions. People aren't telling us to say with IPv4 until a good version of IPv6 is ready.
XMPP supports standard extensions for things like voice
Perhaps in theory, but XMPP voice isn't supported by even 5% of the XMPP clients out there. Jingle is supposedly supported in kopete and pidgin but good luck getting that to work or using it for any real-lift purpose

My 800 MHz ARM Android phone can't even run Firefox because of it's resource requirements (I'm glad there's Dolphin) and it's getting bigger and slower, not faster and learner, on my desktop. I'd rather see JavaScript speeds improvements and fat cutting. There's plenty of good external programs for opening PDF files already (okular, evince, etc), the browser does not need to open PDF files itself any more than it needs to open OpenDocument spreadsheets.
Is it sterile? If so, what stops the owner of that plant from suing the company that made the other plant that now ruined his future livelihood by sterilizing his plants?
This is probably what would happen here in the EU, but we avoid that altogether by having laws again GMO seeds.
Your FDA is a corrupt joke with a revolving door between it and major players like Monsanto. Monsanto basically work periods "part-time" at the FDA where they rubber-stamp their own products.
it seems like they're verging on classic super-villainy
They are, and we threat them accordingly here in the EU. Their GMO crops are illegal and we punish them whenever their seeds manage to find their way here anyway.
While I understand that this removes the ability of a farmer to further breed the crop they've bought, I still prefer sterile GMOs to crosspollenation.
There is a third choice: Outlaw GMOs. GMO crops are illegal here in Sweden and I'm glad they are. We don't have to choose between two evils, we just reject both.
