I simply cannot believe. I'd like to think that it's some sort of Ron Paul-like ideologues unable to recognize the limits of a philosophy, but we're talking about a guy attacking a highly questionable post being modded to -1.
It doesn't surprise me at all. Stallman is a fanatic, and fanatics tend to lack that element of pragmatism that shows where a philosophical position may have necessary limits. I'm certainly not one of his disciples, that's for sure.
Hello, we are Russian mob... er investors, and are looking for way to laund... er raise money for many good cause, like helping Romanian prostitutes trying to get into film business and young Latvian programmers looking for equipment to write revolutionary new bank software. This seems like good solution to our crim... er investment endeavors.
The Brits treated the Maori reasonably well. Without going to full on genocide like the Spaniards did against many South American Indian groups, it's hard to see how the indigenous peoples of Australia could have fared much worse. For the most part I have to say the French were probably the most decent colonial power, the Brits somewhere in the middle (greatly dependent upon which colonial areas we're talking about) and the Spanish and Belgians the very worst.
Try to tell a Peruvian Indian that their ancestors' lot would have been worse under a Muslim regime.
I neither have the capability nor the desire to go through Slashdot's archives. You can take my word for it or not, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers the frequent attacks on Pamela Jones on Slashdot. I won't withdraw it, so that's that.
Microsoft has always done this. I've been on Slashdot now about nine years and Microsoft has frequently astroturfed this place. And then every year or so there will be the quisling that Microsoft hires from the open source community to be in charge of whatever-they're-calling-their-Linux-lab-now, who will inevitably come here with an olive branch... dipped in arsenic. And let us never forget the level pro-SCO astroturfing that went on here in the day, and you still get a few of those old trolls making rude noises about Pamela Jones. Some, if not all of those guys were ultimately being paid by Microsoft, one way or the other (well, except Daniel Lyons, a fucktard of such incredible stupidity that he actually did it for free).
They've certainly made threats against Linux based upon vague patent claims, and though not via patents, they were at least partially bankrolling SCO's spurious IP claims against Linux.
That might explain China, to a point, though they did abstain during the Libya vote, which demonstrates that they are not entirely against regime change (and let's not pretend that Beijing did not know exactly what the air campaign against Ghaddafi actually was meant to accomplish). My thinking is more along the lines that both China and Russia (particularly Russia) view Assad as a good customer, and just as importantly the current regime as one that leans more in their direction than the West's. Ghaddafi, on the other hand, was pretty much loathed by everyone everywhere, and thus, when push came to shove, had no friends at all in high places.
Margins are very low on electronics. You had to move a lot of product to keep a brick and mortar electronics store afloat even before the Internet and Walmart became such huge competitors. Quite frankly I rarely go into them any more. I find even taking shipping into account that I can find better deals online. I haven't bought an actual computer from a brick and mortar store in seven or eight years.
Amazon gets their stuff for free, I suppose. Amazon ultimately is the greatest enemy authors have ever known, but they'll be so busy attacking Google and the pirates that they won't realize that they just cut off their balls and handed them to one of the most repugnant back of crooks in the world.

I know. This topic has turned into a disgrace.
If you tell your friends that, you'll be lucky if you have functioning genitals at the end of the day.
Wow. I didn't know condemning lechery could get one modded down.
Picture it being your daughter, and some creepy motherfucker eyeing her up. Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
Shitting is a natural function as well, but that doesn't mean you take a crap in the middle of the street.

And the major TV networks...
Could you provide the Stallman's full quote?

To be fair, they did end up playing nice with the Samba team, but only with a gun to their head.

Speak for yourself!
From what I've heard, the methods used have been around since Pasteur's day. This particular cat was let out of the bag a loooong time ago.
Yes, of course. If you watch a Russian station, I'm sure all those people in Homs, every lost one, are evil terrorist rebels.

Pretty much. Further meetings just means "How can we sneak this past the public."
I can't sort out how an image that dates back to the 17th century can possibly be copyrighted by anyone.
Fuck copyright has become an evil of absolutely astonishing proportions.
I don't know if Assad's quite that malevolent. I sure wouldn't have wanted to have been Uday Hussein's IT manager, that's for sure.
The thing about, say, the CIA or Mosad, they would hack, but not reveal they had and just keep reading the emails as they came in.
