Wow, how about for the obvious bloody reason. Do you people (not like Windows/Office) just right comments and never read them again. It sure seems that this has been responded to many times before.
There seems to be an awful lot of denial about what is going in society today? If i was a suspicious guy I would get out my tinfoil hat.
1) You can't say most people were against it. Most people don't care enough about anything except if celebs are involved. And even the large majority that was against it didn't manage to stop us from going to war. How does that work in your analysis... even though a lot of people were against it, and even protested, it didn't change one damn thing. And we are still there.
2) So they are incomptent, doesn't mean that one day they will get there act together. They already want to link all the computer systems together. They are numerous examples of the gov controlling the population.
3) They get slated when they want to be. If I wanted complete control, I would let out a few unimportant news stories that made me look bad. Look at the BAE investigation, clearly shut down by the government. Look at the Brazilian terrorist shooting in london. All these stories got about 1% coverage of a little girl going missing in Portugal. Or Madonna falling of a horse. Or Kylie getting cancer. Haven't you noticed that all the news programs in the UK ARE EXACTLY THE SAME, with exactly the same stories.
4) Of course the abandon the law, they shoot innocent people (Brazillian terrorist), the bribe Saudi Arabian officials, they funnel money to their sons, they use public money to pay for extra houses and cars... that is just the tip of the icebetd.
I can't believe that someone could have there head so much in the sand, I am beginning to side with the crazy conspiracy guys.
Really? I can hear your excuses all along the line.
Sure we have to carry our new id all the time, but that wasn't the crux of 1984.
Sure we have to have these specially designed tv installed by the government in our houses, but we don't have to have them on all the time, and it is not illegal to cover up the cameras.
Sure we have to be on camera all the time, but we can still sneak of to the country if we really want some privacy.
Who cares who owns the cameras, the government has access to most of the private cameras. What is it going to take. They build 1984 a step at a time, not just over one day.
How do you feel knowing that you were recorded on camera 300 times a day? Does it make you feel comfortable knowing that the UK government is investing in image recognition software?
So that, together with you being photographed at the airport, so that your picture is linked to your ID, means that the government can track wherver you went in your short stay. Does that still not worry you?
Well, its gotta feel good, doesn't it. You don't get people shooting up in the arm, doing armed robbery, prostituting themselves for a packet of lifesavers, do you?
The carries have exhibited a lot more control over handsets to this point, including the ability to say what goes in a handset. With an open network, they will lose this control.
So basically they are losing some control, which is the same sort of problem that the RIAA companies are having. And companies don't like to lose control, because it means they make less money.
Agree these is no slashdot hivemind, but there is deinately a bias here, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is to be expected in such a site as this, tech heavy, leaning towars openness, etc...
It is only when we deny the bias that these is a problem. But I think we have a rich community of people with all sorts of beliefs, some here even like Microsoft!
To be fair, it is not just the republicans that do this. The democrats do this to each other, witness Clinton vs Obama. The fact is that when the prize is so great, they will each do whatever they can.
I think that ALL parties should be banned. Why can't we just have independents running, making up their own mind about issues, not towing a party line. That way, if someone wanted to play the system, they woul d have to get to over 50% of individuals, not just the party leaders.
So what does what you just said have to do with the reality of what is happening in this situation.
I do something I stupid when I'm younger
Ok, we all can see this...and grow to regret
Where is the evidence of this?
it and speak against it as I age
And this...no there is none. Doesn't it bother you that you seem to have skipped this important bit of information, and cunnigly framed the problem as something completely differently?
I think we already have several solutions to this problems, and I would like to herald the websites who choose to put each line of data on a different webpage. No miscommunication there...
There was the sub-note book category as well. I think that is what these are, but the name might no longer be trendy, so they will need to come up with something else.
The iphone and touch use an application to view youtube, rather than through the browser. The directly decode the video themselves, rather than using flash to do it, which is what happens in a browser.
AOL was bloated with cash, they did a stock swap. They had a huge stock price due to the technology bubble. This was a great boon for AOL, not such a great move for TimeWarner. AOL had a crappy business, TimeWarners was solid.
Microsoft does have lots of cash, and needs something to do with it.
I am having trouble understanding exactly what difference roadmaps would make in this day and age. When every computer released for the last 5 years is more than powerful enough to run applications that most users use, what exactly are you waiting for in the future?? If you need more machines, but more machines. It is not like you are waiting for the next speed bump to buy anything? Are you?
When I reply using the new Ajax interface, I find that I no longer get a karma bonus, so all my posts are at 1, where presumably noone reads them. I can't imagine this is just happening to me. (Still have excellent karma, btw).

You are lucky you didn't get shot.
Having smarter people doing these jobs means that they get bored. You don't necessarily want that.
Would you mind if I followed you around all day filming you in public? What about for a year?
Not saying you don't have a point in that it has helped holiganism, but you are very flippant about giving up our privacy.
There seems to be an awful lot of denial about what is going in society today? If i was a suspicious guy I would get out my tinfoil hat.

Oh, I really think you're wrong.
I think it is Statue of Limitations.
I think we already have several solutions to this problems, and I would like to herald the websites who choose to put each line of data on a different webpage. No miscommunication there...
You shutdown, that is so 2000.
Yes, I think you have strayed onto the wrong site. Maybe I can redirect you, do a google search on hollywood skinny people, that will set you right.
There was the sub-note book category as well. I think that is what these are, but the name might no longer be trendy, so they will need to come up with something else.

Not that useless if you can get close enough...
Classifying porn pictures. This is very useful, girl-on-girl, top half only, etc...
Realistically, providing one word description for a bunch of pictures could be useful. I know google setup a "game" for this months ago.
I am no mathematician (actually I am, but it sounds better), but uping prices by 5% still means you are going to get a deal.
Of course, it is the rip-off company store, so maybe not.

I don't think that anyone would mind the US government making chips for themselves. You are making a ridiculous argument.
