till there are no rich no more - Alvin Lee & Ten Years After
i am sure all the multi-millionaires and billionaires and multi-billionaires can stand to lose a few bucks to help the poor, this nation favors the rich so much that it is sicking to see such wealth piled up while so many can not even afford clean clothes and food!!!
but it is quite limited in its capabilities, it would be cool if someone ported some basic linux apps to it like iceWM and some basic browser like dillo and a text editor, maybe something for audio/video and grphics editing like mtpaint or xpaint, make it simple and basic like Windows95 was, not too complicated and just enough to make it usable as a bare bones desktop, if i was forced to use commandline only i would just use Linux without Xorg which is more robust and feature right and even has some ncurses apps that are decent
my bad about Eric Garner, my memory about what exactly killed him was fuzzy, but those cigarettes were taxed, Eric Garner paid taxes when he bought a pack of cigarettes, the tax system in the USA is a total ripoff, people pay income taxes when they get paid, then they are taxed again when they buy something with the same money that they paid taxes on when it was income, personally i think the IRS should be abolished and a flat tax implemented that is fair and not too burdensome on the working class and does not give favors and tax shelters to the rich so they pay a fair share too
Michael Brown was attacking the officer trying to take his firearm away, i would have shot him too in that situation
you are right about the Walter Scott shooting, the officer was wrong to shoot him while he was running away, they already knew who he was so they could have caught him later
i have to agree too that Eric Garner should not have been shot, he was only selling individual cigarettes on the street, if i was a cop i would have ignored Eric Garner and let him sell his cigarettes, i doubt he made more money than enough to buy himself a hamburger, Fries and a sodapop
Freddie Gray is a bit of a toss up, he could have had already been injured before he was put in the back of that paddy wagon, but i also agree the officer should have sat him down and put a seatbelt on him, i would rule that an accidental death
you're not telling the whole story, the subject also said he had a licence to carry a concealed firearm, then the officer said to keep his hands where he could see them, but the subject continued to reach for something what it was the officer did not know, could have been his wallet or it could have been the concealed firearm, the subject should have keep his hands visible like the officer said in his second command,
and become as relevant as Sun Microsystems with outdated arcane software because it is closed source and unable/unwilling to allow anyone to modify & rebuild, sourcecode is no mystery anymore, kids in school are now working on source code so when they get an idea to build something they are more likely to opt for GNU/FOSS/Linux to have more control of the operating system,
when it comes to speculation there is two sides to that coin,
what about fingerprints, they can be used to arrest someone, but fingerprints are inadmissible in court because fingerprints are not accurate enough to prove if the person is guilty, i bet there are similarities with the human face too, i seen people that looked alike close enough that if i seen two people that looked alike but after knowing them i could tell the difference and then i dont see them for 10 years or more and then see them again i could not be able to tell them apart, unless there was some signature feature i did not forget like a noticeable chipped or crooked tooth when they smile or a tattoo or scar, or a mole
maybe they should all pool their resources in to one open source OS like a mobile Linux distro, i hear ubuntu is making a smartphone and/or OS too maybe something along those lines, a GNU/Linux type of system would fit that job nicely
when can i get a waiver for driving on the ground, and they let these people fly drones commercially, what happens when the Coca Cola bottling company uses drones to deliver cases of coke to the local stores and they drop them on top of people? there needs to be accountability and liability for commercial drones flying over populated areas
if it costs too much to repair the broken phones & gadgets will end up in a landfill and consumers will just buy new, but that is probably what the big corpirates had in mind anyway, those bastards are the kinds of bastards that killed Kenny
if the Government spooks & goons can peek at your stuff then the criminals that are good at cybercrime will find a way to crack the key to the Government's backdoor
nobody should be allowed to patent something as common as saying, printing or texting "thankyou" same with any other verbiage that is common to conversation
make each nation an isolated internet, and if a foreign country wants to make their content available to another country they can pay for the service in that other country to host content, that will stop those hacks from foreign country's dead in their tracks, and cyber-security can focus on domestic cyber crime
you cant even visit any facebook pages without being a member of facebook so i blocked them with my/etc/hosts file, i hope more people just simply block facebook completely, they wont let me anonymously visit their website, i wont let them visit my computer, sounds fair
I been riding my old grey mare for 40 years and she works for me, and along come all these kids in those new fancy things called motorcars, i am keeping my mule until i die

the officer was not going to take that chance, i would not take a chance either, he should have kept his hands visible as the officer's second command

they should make available tools to allow people root access so they can install Linux or other android distributions
possibly by the end of the year, (as soon as android apps are merged) and touchscreen is a big selling point for me, this one looks interesting

and i will marry it :D
and it would be nice if it can mow the lawn and do oil changes in my car too
then whats the problem? oh you want to plug it in to a computers audio input? i am sure somebody will make a bluetooth dongle to fill that niche,
