Almost every place I've ever worked has had pretty strict policies about software installation, in that other than IT and maybe a few other special users, you don't install software on a work computer. If you have some whiz-bang software that will totally blow your productivity into the stratosphere, then you deal with it via organizational channels.
The network I administer has strict technical (via GPOs) and policy (via employee's agreeing to them upon being hired) limitations on software installation. The business I work for deals in a large amount of highly sensitive data and is contractually obligated to assure that the computers and software are locked down to minimize leaks. When someone comes in to me and says "I need admin rights so I can install the most important software in the world" my answer is to submit that properly and the software will be reviewed.
The fact is that in almost all cases the computer you use at work is not your computer. As well, you have doubtless as part of your employment agreement agreed to abide by the rules and restrictions surrounding a variety of departments; IT, accounting, legal, HR and so forth. If those policies posed such a problem for you, perhaps you should have found work elsewhere.
What exactly is ill-advised about prosecuting your citizens for molesting children in foreign countries? Australia, Canada and the UK all have similar laws on their books allowing them to prosecute their citizens of child molestation in other countries. In fact, I think Australia might have been first.
Yup, and Congress has had to create laws to prosecute American pedophiles because Thai authorities are too busy chasing down people who make disparaging remarks about their King.
Oh fuck off. It's not like conservatives don't name call. Jesus the hypocrisy like you just amazes me. Your type truly do believe that somehow you approach sainthood in your intellectual processes.
At any rate, I'm not a liberal. That's the other thing, conservatism and Libertarianism are not the same thing either.
No. Some of you fashion yourselves Knights Templar and go out and shoot up a bunch of kids at a socialist political party's picnic, you know, to free the enslaved.
Look up herd immunity. The victims when diseases get out of hand are the small group of people who for a number of reasons can't be vaccinated. If everyone around them is vaccinated, the odds of them contracting the disease are small, but the moment you break that herd immunity, those individuals are put at extreme risk.
On a personal note, are you just playing devil's advocate or are you really a sociopath?
How does this have to do with capitalism, which is an economic model? Please don't pretend that Libertarianism and Capitalism are one and the same.
Requiring immunization is fundamentally no different than requiring people not dump their raw sewage on the curb. In both cases, they represent reasonable restrictions on behavior in the interest of public health. About the only people I know that disagree with it are either Libertarians, who, let's face it, are either morons or sociopaths, or anti-vaxxers, who are pretty much at the intellectual level of Creationists and Flat-Earthers.
Well, maybe the user base. Since Yahoo is using Microsoft's search engine technology, all Microsoft would be really doing is buying its indirect customer base.
Yes, that is a pain. I thought they were supposed to be setting up the Windows service so that a non-admin client could control the VPN via the service to write the routing table, which seems to be the big stumbling block for OpenVPN under the UAC.
I think the issue is readability and documentation (and why, that's just what it says!) If there's a slight against openssl, it's probably that the source is a bit more complicated.
This is very good news. OpenVPN is probably the easiest secure VPN software I've ever worked with. I've been running it as the link for our multi-site network for over two years now, and it's also the VPN software our road warriors are using. Simple to configure, and damnit but it just works. After years of trying to get all these weird implementations of IPSec to co-operate with each other, OpenVPN is just a marvel, fast and lightweight.
Oh give me a break. They're busing into them to some polls. That's not "getting out the vote", that's intentional skewing of straw polls, and the reason why, even after all those clever little tactics are used, Ron Paul still doesn't make it through the race is because in the actual polls that count, he has no chance at all. Do you think the GOP would ever be insane enough to put him out as their candidate? Do you think American voters would ever be insane enough to pick him as the next President?
He's tolerated because he brings the Libertarian sociopathic cabal into the GOP. The janitor at GOP HQ has a better chance of becoming the Republican candidate for President of the United States than does Ron Paul.
Get over it. Ron Paul is a marginal figure, period.
I'll tell you what will happen. The economy will swing up, all these malcontents will forget why they were there at all, will go back to obscene levels of conspicuous consumption, burn through their cash, refuse to save or plan for the future, and the next time the markets go into freefall, they'll be back out on the street. This isn't a political movement, it's a bowel movement.
That is except for the homeless and the drug addicts, who were there all along.
Which is why, by law, it should be required that 99.5% of all profits gained by this sort of activity, including residuals (ie. selling the data to some other company) go to the person who the data was mined from. Anything less than that should be called grand larceny and the company, it's senior executives and board of directors should be imprisoned and the company given onerous fines.
You see. You can't even post a basic list of their demands or desires, but have to refer me to websites. All you've done is demonstrate how convoluted they are.
If it does come to revolution, these people will be the useful idiots that every revolutionary leadership needs to act as shields. Look at mob of Revolutionary France, the Mensheviks of Revolutionary Russia or the the Brown Shirts in the rise Nazism. In all cases there were the willing fools who got shot to bits, first by the old regime in its dying days, and then whoever is left ends up getting a bullet from the ascendant masters who seize the revolution to gain power.
But it won't come to revolution. Eventually the economy will right itself and all these malcontents will go back to buying the latest iPhones and iPads, and maxing their credit cards and mortgaging themselves to the hilt, because the one universal truth they don't get is that this economic collapse is every bit as much their fault as it is the politicians, bankers and the CEOs. If the middle class had kept its head and had practiced the old prudence that it once had, and hadn't just as eagerly been a pig at the trough of cheap credit, we wouldn't be here right now.
Gandhi forswore all possession and walked around in home-spun clothes. In every way he is the opposite of these self-entitled folks whose real beef appears to be "I can't continue my conspicuous consumption because I got a psych degree, so gimme money!!!!"
I don't even know what most of these people stand for, or even want. It is absolutely the most idiotic, confused and pointless protest movement in history. Even the fucking Neo-Nazi skinheads at least have some sort of comprehensible cause, even if it is evil and nightmarish. There's something at least to sink your teeth into.
Look at the Tea Party. I'm as anti-Libertarian as they come, but these guys have at least formulated some sort of set of policies and goals. It isn't just a bunch of people trying to replicate the "We are all individuals" scene from the Life of Brian. I can debate a Tea Party member, and he in turn can make clear statements about what he wants. I may utterly disagree with him, but at least I'm talking to something with a bit more depth than what amounts to a shouting slogan machine.
The worst part is that these frightfully sincere people seem to believe that somehow they speak for the "99%". They don't. Increasingly the public is viewing them as spoiled squatting bums who are doing absolutely nothing to better themselves or their society. They've ceased to be any kind of movement (even a loose and almost pointless one), and have become a carnival side show that is depriving the citizens of many cities of the use of public land.
How can Linux be a fork of Minix when damned near every aspect of its design was different? Linus certainly delved into Minix, and it was an inspiration, but Linus specifically went his own way with the monolithic kernel.
What blows me away is that Tanenbaum still fosters this old chip on his shoulder, and is still invoking every possible inanity to support it.
Andrew, get over it. Minix was and still is a toy, and BSD was too much of any ivory tower for the group of hobbiests looking to replace their Amigas, Atari STs and all the other 1980s hardware that was dying off by the early 1990s.

Bravo sir! Smarmy anti-American types who think visiting a country best referred to as Sicksextouristland is better than the United States.

Some of the treatment of Loyalists certainly comes pretty close. The Loyalists didn't move to Canada just for a change of scenery.
I would consider what happened to John Malcolm (twice) to cross the line into a blatant act of terrorism to intimidate him other Loyalists.

V'ger requires the information. Why will you not provide V'ger with the information?
The only way it gets attention is because his devotees stack straw polls.
They don't like the tuition hike, go to another school
