PARC has an incredible legacy, but the problem is that there wasn't much follow through. Through the short-sightedness of Xerox, they sold off everything they had that was worth making money with.
Back in the early 1980s Smalltalk was be seriously pursued by Xerox and about a dozen computer companies in partnership, as the next generation platform / OS / language. Programs would be portable across architectures without any special effort, the user / programmer paradigm would blur, and we would all be in control of our machines.
Meanwhile Alan Kay has been giving speeches about the good old days, working at both Disney and Apple as a research imagineer, and while he did manage to release Squeak 25 years too late, the cathedral nature of its development process made its progress go very slowly. Thankfully it has been forked which kicked the Squeak dev team in the pants. Anyway Kay had his chance.
The Google cultists are so thick on Reddit that I suspect that one of the terms of employment at Google is ten Reddit posts a day hyping the Google brand. And of course, three on Slashdot.
I know (not believe, kow) that Google is doing anything and everything it can to build up profiles of everybody who uses any Google service - visible or not - all of the time. This is their primary job. They are advertisers, trying to make money by selling targeted ads (and perhaps information that allows targeting) to anybody. And yes, I know they were purposefully targeting this Safari bug.
I do not believe that it is possible for advertisers, attorneys, loan brokers, and certain other classes of people to have souls, morals, or a conscience. I personally know some of the highest ranking Googlers, having grew up with them and gone to school with them, and they are not fully human. I know how they think. I know how Google works, and I think it's funny that you mention tinfoil hats in this age of total surveillance on the Internet. By resorting to such a cheap tactic you are basically admitting that I am correct.
They don't even need "publishers" any more. However, it's comfortable for them, and if they lose control over their work when they send it into the publishing house, this is just part of the bargain.
Authors generally don't control (with paper books) the selection of printer, what is typed on that page with the ISBN number and associated junk, what boxes they are shipped to the stores in, and so forth. If the author desired control over every part of the publication process, he would self-publish be it on paper or electronically.
I always wondered, with the switch from being a little discussion forum in the early days, when Slashdot would go.com and give up the.org domain name. It seems, like the man in the video said, that this sort of thing works itself out organically though.
These proof of concept Trojans, which were likely all created by AV software companies, come out every year or so and Slashdot reports on them like clockwork.
What about the Trojan that delets all your data? It looks like this, and works on Linux too!
Using gendered or racist insults can be hilarious. The fact that they still retain their potency and cause deep offense makes them even more enjoyable. Insults should be potent and the thin skin of people these days, with regards to certain words, makes gendered, racist, etc. insults very useful.
It's ironic to hear about vibrant communities from a person who is riding multiple troll accounts. This is pretty unwholesome behavior. Are you a paid troll or are you just bored?
Don't be such a slack-cunted hausfrau my dear. I'm simply tired of playing the typical online debate game, where somebody demands proof (and work) and without it assumes that they have somehow accomplished a refutation of an argument.
Heck, I used to play this game, but it became clear that the vast majority of online "debate" partners were not interested in even glancing at proffered evidence, so I stopped playing this game.
If a person wants to imagine that their blindness and laziness regarding research somehow invalidates a statement, this is not my problem. It's only yet another sign of the decay in morals that is creeping on day by day.
That was in the old days. Now, this extortion is simply called free speech and since companies are officially people, we can't have anybody muzzling them.
Paying bribes to foreign despots is a time-honored tradition, one that is carried out by the Department of State in the form of foreign aid on a quarterly basis. I'm surprised that this is even an issue.
Those munitions were actually from the 1980s, and we knew Saddam had chemical weapons at some point, because we sold them to him for use on Iran's army during the Iran-Iraq war.
It was likely that they had gone fairly stale, though, and we were never able to actually locate them. It's not unlikely that he sold them at some point.
Yes, HBGary was busted doing just this. It was a big scandal. Obama's now using his campaign funds to bankroll his Obama cyber-warrior campaign, with over thirty thousand paid shills pushing the party line, and posing as ordinary citizens.
The cat's out of the bag, and the only reason you're seeing zero evidence is because you're not looking.
Bush was indeed part of the TEAM of people who wanted war in Iraq, but he didn't do it all by himself. There was broad bipartisan support for it. Every Democrat in the Senate voted for it, with the notable exception of Paul Wellstone.
9-11 was integral to the invasion of Iraq. Without the fear machine that was the media afterward, there would have been no way that the whole western world would have been fooled into this venture.
No, you have it backwards by equating a casino with the stock market. They are both places that you can lose lots of money in (ask all those people whose lost half their retirement savings when the market imploded in 2008) but as I pointed out, you are unlikely to lose ALL your money unless your stocks get delisted. However it's still gambling. Math and history prove this.
We have no guarantee that everything Google knows about you is in your Google profile. They are keeping tabs on everybody who lands on a page that uses Google APIs, they have been busted circumventing privacy controls in browsers, and they are not to be trusted.
The wolf is right there. Everybody can see it. You just need to take your blinders off.
Was Hans Blix the Terminator? Could he have just eye-lasered all the Iraqi troops that would have prevented him from making the inspections he desired to make?
Hans Blix was a guy in charge of a non-military organization. He didn't have the authority or resources to literally force himself into any spot he chose in Iraq at a whim.

Nations don't just "have" rights, they make them depending on their ability to get away with things. Who grants nations rights? The UN? Feh.
Nations will do whatever they wish to do, within the limits of their abilities, just like they ALWAYS have.

You have no idea if that's true or not. On the Internet we are all black, wheelchair bound lesbians with a lazy eye.

It's not my job to look things up for you. If you want to find out about the HBGary scandal a simple web search should suffice.
That was in the old days. Now, this extortion is simply called free speech and since companies are officially people, we can't have anybody muzzling them.
Yes, yes they have admitted just this. Then the spin machine got moving and they un-admitted it.
