when you buy a car, drive it, the breaks fail, you hit a wall and die... who is held responsible? the company that built it.
when your airplane crashes in the middle of the ocean due to engine failure... who is held resposible? the company that build it or the airline.
the answer is never the designer, engineer or whatever.
Once you take sex away, you create frustration. You get rid of the frustration by allowing violence.
Now, the motives behind why sex is viewed as being so threatening are a hole other matter.
I have never understood how people who have never seen communism in action feel free to make these kinds of statements. Taking away freedom and destroying hope for a better tomorrow is not a flaw for you? I am sure you have never waited in line for 10 hours to get a piece of meat, right? Have you seen how towns designed by communist planners look like? Did you know that pollution magically fell after collapse of communism? What about the fact that the average lifespan in countries like Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland increased by more than 5 years since 1989? None of these was because of corruption or greediness, they were due to some (often highly educated) nitwits in the government thinking that they make the right decisions
I did live in comunism for several years (in Romania, HA!) and the grandfather of this post is right, the basic problem with the comunism was the way it was implemented(leaders were corrupt). All the other flaws derived from this... lack of freedoms, free speach, poor economical achievements, so on. You weren't able to speak against the corruption because they were shielding the masses from the what was really going on... they were protecting their asses
So I feel obligated to mod you down because... you are simply not right and you are spreading a wrong view over what exactly went on in the communist countries...
hmmm, does this make me a little dictator? yonk!!!
you sir are a braindead ignorant. And yes the Romani have made a name for themselves in circles hounted by braindead ignorants like yourself.

As any other user, I sould not be concerned with the inner workings of the software I use, and so I care very little about their new buzzword technology. The whole point of adding a layer like this between user and OS is just that... to not concern the user with technical mumbo jumbo, because otherwhise I could just get my VC++ and write some damn app that does the exact same thing. And before even thinking of saying monad would be faster stop and think for a sec. about all the alternatives the linux eviroment gives you (and by association cygwin) to accomplish a task, and when you thought about all of them let me know what you think.
right!
btw... monad comes from the same people that said the days of command line are over and M$ will not invest any further into such utterly useless things, especialy, when they have their nice and very usefull GUI(this happend a few years back... googleit). Flames go to M$ because of the way it thinks and because of its never ending hypocrite ways, not because of the quality of their work... which will undoubtedly suck too
so, thanks for your 2 dime oppinion, and thanks for standing by it... anonymously... morron...
These are many of the same people that believe people are born with the right to pirate their copy of Windows because Microsoft has tons of money.
ummm... and they are wrong... because?
And MS Windows is also the only platform that you can get worms for. So... with these extra points for Windows I guess they are more than "enterprise ready":P
once longhorn is released and MSN will get integrated in every little corner of it... MSN will start bringing in some serious searches, soon the advertisers will follow... Google seems to know this and they seem to take steps into diversifying their revenue streams. I just hope they have enought time.
In the end, somebody in China who really wants to get to that information can find a way to do it.
the key word beeing somebody and not everybody as it should be... remember that most internet users don't really know what a proxy or whatever is... you can expect them to be setting up encrypted tunneling. And the whole point of the article is... I think... that the internet should by it's design be independent of external censorship factors, and it's not... sad
Slashdot Mirror
genius!
A new business is born (with a fitting PR campain I might add)
Anyway, RIP Scotty

my teacher calls them uh-oh's...
I guess the whole thing with Microsoft building an OS was a hoax, or an office suite, or a browser... :P
here's another one: as much freedom as their money can buy -> as much freedom as you can spare after work

I know it sounds cool and all... but can someone explain what an in-flight repair system means, how would something like that work?
HA!
It's payback time for promoting software patents
