With the screenshot of IE7 on the linux noob site are they trying to show that they are open to linux?? "aware" of the competition they face (they're on to you)?? or subtely taunting the linux community?? Stop playing games with my mind!!!! Probably all 3, and really the screenshots suck anyway.
Umm.. Pointing out that the US's actualization freedom of speech could use some work DOES NOT 'demean those that suffer from REAL censorship'. Just because censorship is not as bad in the US as in some other countries shouldn't stifle our motivation to call it out and try to be better.
Yes actually I have had the idea of proactively figuring out what problems a given system might have in the real world by using it myself in the real world instead of just letting real-world users of the system to complain when they encounter these problems. It's a pretty basic concept there chief. Are you faulting me for not being paid my Microsoft to implement the idea? oh yeah.. my bad.. totally.
is anyone else at least a little suprised that they are just starting something like this? i mean jeezus with all the $$ and IQ they have no one has ever thought of this before? weak...
Is that a huka in the background?! Now I understand where he got the idea: "I'm fried.. I'm on a computer.. How can I get the computer fried?" Another look might reveal it's acutally soaking in hash oil.
geez.. it's so obvious how some slashdot articles from people claiming to be innocent and naive are actually from vultures attempting to use the/. for what it's worth.. its about time/. started requiring a background check..:)
It wasn't meant to be a dream, just a humorous illustration of what a difficult and ridiculous position our federal law enforcement is in, and the how obvious the real motives are behind their decisions to go after one set of relatively petty crime over another much more serious. Spammers will go overseas, too, it's just too bad that we can't be as happy to send the corporations packing.
Interesting how the FTC will create bounties on spammers, but have given little more than lip service to corporate crime. I guess it's no wonder since the same big business stiffs who commit the crimes also primarily fund power in the government. I, for one, would like to see these bounties offered to everyday employees of corporations who can provide proof their coworkers corporate crimes (the one's that *acutally* take our and the government's money!!!!). It's pretty crappy that the government will get the IT industry workforce to hunt down their own kind (albeit a crappy kind), and do the FTC's job for them. But, of course, big businesses are the most financially indebted to eliminating spam. So it seems until we create a booming accounting industry and have a lot of accounting nerds with nothing better to do with their time, we'll have to wait for the FTC to get serious about a hugely under-prosecuted crime and will actually try to keep money in our pokets!!
