There's this hippie architect who's been building houses out of old tires and bottles for a century. They're pretty neat and extremely functional and completely self sufficient.
Check out http://www.earthship.com/ and/or the movie Garbage Warrior.
The fact that we need 360 comments to define what an abbreviation of a folder means indicates that something is wrong with linux and us. If all these nerds put together have problems with this than what the bleeping bleep is the end user going to think?
Yesterday, the swedish police website was taken out by hackers, probably as a response to the closing of tpb. They also hacked the anitpirate website a year ago or something when they were getting cocky.
I agree, I myself make sure I buy ecological, justice-branded products myself. All I'm trying to say is that the lack of moral in practically all giant corporations is a clear indication that something needs to be done about the current market situation, through government sanctions perhaps, but I think consumer power is a slow way to change things and I hope that corporations start to grow a consience and that their respective governments will help enforce corporation ethics.
This classic argument is so tiring. It is NOT in the consumers responsibility to make sure that the corporations are behaving morally or at least having the tiniest respect for human lives. This is a libertarian lie to releave the corps all kinds of responsibility from all the people being harassed, exploited and killed. Not to mention all the resources they destroy in the 'low-salery'-countries.
If it were our responsibility to keep them in check the shoes would read "Made in China, killing children for profit. And we enjoy it and will do it over and over and over again! HAHAHAHAHHA! Screw poor people, buy shoes!"
I will not allow a cheap argument to turn the coorporations into children, completely unaware of the errors of their ways.
