No, I do not find it ironic. All steal. All reverse-engineer. All sue. One solution to all of this. Get rid of patents or at least see to it that they are reshaped so that they protect the individuals, not the companies. e.g Dyson is somebody who these things are intended for.

With email, I also always use the snail-mail analogy. Everybody can send your name on an envelope. Everybody can write my name on the back. There is no way of telling where it was then send from, except the country where the person put it in the mailbox.
That will help most of the time (some people just don't WANT to understand), yet I can go further: Email is like a postcard, everybody can read it. If you encrypt it, it is like an envelope.
An email has two parts. The part before the @ and the part after it. The last part is the address. Street, and city/country. The part before it is your mailbox. It can have your name, but can also be a mailbox or anything that you put on the mailbox.
Your email program puts it in the mailbox. That is emptied by the post people. Then it si put in trucks to the postal dispatch. That will sort it and send it with a lot of others to another dispatch, where it will be sorted again and given to the postman. He will put it then in your mailbox. So it is not like a fax where the machine speaks directly to another machine. It takes a lot of steps and on all those steps there can be a delay. That is the reason your email might not arrive in the 7 seconds you have been waiting for.
Breaking The Taboo - Film Narrated by Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman, "Breaking the Taboo" is produced by Sam Branson's indie Sundog Pictures and Brazilian co-production partner Spray Filmes and was directed by Cosmo Feilding Mellen and Fernando Grostein Andrade. Featuring interviews with several current or former presidents from around the world, such as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, the film follows The Global Commission on Drug Policy on a mission to break the political taboo over the United States led War on Drugs and expose what it calls the biggest failure of global policy in the last 40 years
What 'provoking' material are you talking about? Are they NOT closing down those things? They are closing down things. The fact that they are starting up other things is not relevant to those who are using the things that are being closed down.
The fact that they open 2 new highways does not mean anything as I might never take them. The fact that they close down one that I take each day is of a much higher importance.
Saying "But they opened two new ones" sounds more like PR talk that anything constructive. Sure it is hip to talk/. down on the articles they post (as your received mod points show) yet there is nothing that warrants it with _this_ material.
The announcement of those new will come in a few days as/. is always a few days late. Will you then also moan that it is pure PR because there was no talk about the closing of several features?
Says who? "There are more people with disabilities" does not mean "We need to kill people who have disabilities". My great aunt said it several years ago already: People who would have died in the past are kept alive now. She was talking more about people at the end of their life. She was a person who was very much in favor of euthanasia, yet that dd not stop her from becoming the the oldest person in the world Oh and the "Wisdom" there is pure bullshit that she told the press.
When she was born, the doctor told her that she would not reach the age of 6 weeks. Due to the good care of her grandmother, she survived, but was always very sick. Other kids of that period would have died.
Another example is Stephen Hawking who would have died in different times. There are also the extremely obese people who would either not exist in different times, or would die much earlier.
You are an example as well. And this does not mean all those people should die. It just means they would have. This is not better or worse in it self. And even if you are personally involved, they are just cold facts. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now we know these facts, we can start to think what we are going to do with it. Perhaps trying to be more pro-active and not so much retro-active in our health system could be something to think about. Abortion of kids with 'bad' DNA will be something else that might be put on the table.
A lot of good AND bad things will be put on the table, but that is not what this was about.
When I hear about this, why is it always schools? Is it because only the ones in the schools are newsworthy and the others are just not news anymore? Or is there something that makes people hate schools so much that they want to kill it?
Why not malls or other places?
People here will most likely come up with some reason that will be related to body count: defenseless victims. I just wonder if that is the only reason and I doubt it is.
once the patent wars leave the shell of dead corporations strewn all over the landscape, people will huddle together and promise themselves "never again
Studies indicate that an average of 21% of the cost of all the goods and services you buy in the U.S. are simply embedded taxes that get passed up the line to the government.
So the high tax rate of 21% in Belgium is not that crazy after all. Who knew?
So if someone was standing on the street corner with a bag of money and they said "whosoever approaches while hopping on one foot gets $1000 cash", would you do it? Or would you say "someone else needs the money" and ignore him?
I would ignore him, yet that is a personal choice and irrelevant to anything.
If you don't want to give them money, stop providing the hoops to be jumped through.
How can I do that? By voting? So who should I vote for? The people who give most or those who give the greatest amount to the rich who bought the politicians? And I would be happy if they stopped jumping. All they do is blocking that corner, so people are unable to cross the street.

Looking at several other countries, it looks as if only the US site is looking after the well-being of the kids for now. All show 2.050.000.
It is nice to see that they are not censoring any content. They are just not showing it, which is completely different. They just call it moderated. And as they do not call it censorship, but moderation, it must be that, tight?
Now imagine that something like this is hanging on highstreet and it is some other (selfmade) forwarder. Even though people are aware that ads are lies, they do somewhat trust that an add for Coca-Cola is placed there by Coca-Cola and the company is responsible for the content.
Out of curiosity, is there any way that it is clear how the distribution must be done? e.g. if I am a jackass and am not willing to give the source, could I say that my way of distribution is that I hire an Airbus and fly it around the world 7 times and will deliver the source in a USB key with a total of 10.000.000 in diamonds. This so the price will be so high that it isn't worth it. Or that is must be sung by 500 virgins with the Vatican nationality and of at least 90 years old, so that the requirements can never be met.
Having the ability to use Usenet clients and thus have threads that you can follow is another plus. Having all the discussions in one place is also nice. No need to browse through several websites and on that website several threads is also a HUGE plus. The distributed part is also very nice. No central server that can be blocked.
Binaries killed Usenet. Because of these binaries, many providers stopped, because it was taking up too much space and bandwidth. Because they stopped, many people stopped using the real discussion groups.
So instead of having one place where I can get to ask questions in one place in an easy way, I have to go to multiple websites that all have a lousy way of interfacing with other people.
The websites do the filtering, where with Usenet I am able to do it myself. OK, binaries are not the only ones to help kill it. Others were webtv and Outlook (Toposting and HTML posting) and Google (By buying and then changing deja.com).
Yet I am sure that binaries are the most important one. Text based can be done by almost any provider with very limited resources.
I already tell them that The Internet used to be about content and not about advertising. And they are not even grandkids or kids. They are people of my own age.
I remember the outcry when sites did not just had one but TWO banners.
I only realize it now, but what you are telling is that we have now plenty of food and what is happening is that because of all of the companies doing automatisation we can have more entertainment as well.
What you do not factor in is the fact that people who will loose their job because of automation will not get their job replaced. Say there are 10 people working 40 hour shifts. Because of automation 7 will looses their job. This means that the 30% need to support the other 70%. Or you need to spread the 30% workload among the 100%.
In an ideal world, the latter would be the case. However this does not happen. Instead people start working more then 40 hours, turning the last 30% into 20%.
Sure, for now there are shifts towards the entertainment industry for now. Until people are replaced there as well.
And yes, wealth is concentrated in too few hands. Owning an air-conditioner does not make you wealthy. Even owning a car does not do that.
I am also using fetchmail, but as client I use mutt. Filtering into different mailboxed is done using procmail. With the sidebar I get all that I want.
Remote access I get using ssh and can be done with putty or any other ssh client on any device that is able to run an ssh client.
It saves me the time for setting up imap. And when I want a quick look remotely at new mail, I just run a small script:
#!/bin/bash # read only new mail messages #set -x bold=`tput bold;tput setaf 4` offbold=`tput sgr0` for M_BOX in $MAIL `find ~/Mail/ -maxdepth 1 -type f` do
MESSAGES=`grep "^From " $M_BOX|wc -l`
READMESS=`grep "^Status: RO" $M_BOX|wc -l`
if [ "$MESSAGES" -ne "$READMESS" ]
then
echo "Changes for the mailbox ${bold}`basename $M_BOX`${offbold}:"
mutt -f $M_BOX
echo
fi done echo "No more new messages." echo ""
I have no need in making things more complicated then they are. KISS is what I am after. Works great for me, but then other people will have other needs.

So who will do a Larry Flynt and stand up to this? I bet most people will think it isn't censorship, because it isn't done by government. Think again: Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body. It can be done by governments and private organizations or by individuals who engage in self-censorship.
First they came for my porn ...
And even if you do not care for porn, you should always be against censorship. Always!
The resolution is 2560x1080 so not that bad, but I still rather have 3 1920x1200 then 2 2560x1080.
And no, I would not want one 5760x1200 screen. I like being able to change workspaces on one screen and not the other two.
Sure you can see where it goes, but that does not mean much.
