  1. Re:The Era of Linux is at hand on Why American Corporate Software Can No Longer Be Trusted · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am increasingly of the view that Richard Stallman is correct, living in freedom means using free software.

  2. not in this economy on East Coast vs. West Coast In the Quest For Young Programming Talent · · Score: 1

    Downside: you have to pay them more. Not in this economy. There are too many unemployed and underemployed tech workers. Google and the others need to stop making hiring decisions based on stereotype and start evaluating the existing talent pool based on ability.

  3. how many schools did they close to pay for this? on Weaponizable Police UAV Now Operational In Texas · · Score: 1

    this is madness.

  4. I am increasingly of the view on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    that Stallman is correct, living in freedom requires that we use free software. On the other hand, this is being written on a Mac iBook.

  5. This is the sort of thing on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    that makes me glad that I do not have a television. It is easy to ignore the stupid on the internet. There is plenty of stupid on the internet, but it is easy to ignore it.

  6. for those who are interested on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 4, Interesting
  7. am I correct on Court Allows Webcam Spying On Rental Laptops · · Score: 1

    that masking tape over the camera aperture would fix this?

  8. gosh on Fake Apple Stores Mushrooming In China · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    it is so surprising that a company with a horrible record on labor conditions also has a horrible record on enforcing business law.

  9. misplaced courage on FBI Executes Nationwide Raid of Anonymous Members · · Score: 1

    the response to corporate lawlessness is not citizen lawlessness.

  10. word! on FBI Executes Nationwide Raid of Anonymous Members · · Score: 4, Insightful

    did anyone NOT see this coming?

  11. plenty of people know on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 1

    check out Google News on News Corp, plenty of people know about this. Social Mention indicates that online sentiment regarding LulzSec is mostly neutral, with positive larger than negative.

  12. illegal surveillance on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 1

    under color of journalism is a crime, as Murdoch & Co will soon discover. Much was destroyed by hacking, privacy, the sense of security and safety.

  13. I don't have any use for vigilantes on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 1

    but it is certainly true that News Corp has always been a pirate corporation http://berlin.ccc.de/~andy/CCC/TRON/material/nds/20020415-afr.html

  14. You know you have a PR problem on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 4, Insightful

    when your server is hacked and people are cheering. It is all part of the fall of the house of hubris.

  15. there is nothing irrational about fearing Murdoch on LulzSec Target the Sun After Phone Hacking Scandal · · Score: 1
  16. the ends do not justify the means on LulzSec Target the Sun After Phone Hacking Scandal · · Score: 1

    the means determine the ends. Vigilante justice is not the path to the rule of law.

  17. how else does one get punished for flagrant illega on LulzSec Target the Sun After Phone Hacking Scandal · · Score: 1

    I think that this time News Corp will be held responsible. No need for vigilante justice. http://technoflak.blogspot.com/2011/07/fall-of-house-of-hubris.html

  18. Anonymous and LulzSec are really funny on LulzSec Target the Sun After Phone Hacking Scandal · · Score: 2

    until it happens to you. Righteous lawlessness stinks out loud.

  19. pure FUD and self-promotion on 25% of US Hackers Are FBI/CIA Informers · · Score: 2

    and I have to say, very effective FUD and self-promotion.

  20. I have similar concerns on 25% of US Hackers Are FBI/CIA Informers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    does the FBI have adequate control over its hacker informants? For example, an FBI informer riding in the car that carried the killer of Viola Liuzzo. And who else is running hacker informants?

  21. mabye so on Solar Powered Laptops · · Score: 1

    but not solar power laptop has been made commercially available. I would luv one.

  22. excellent PR by Google on Google Uncovers China-Based Password Collection Campaign · · Score: 3, Insightful

    it isn't a data breach, Google has uncovered a campaign to steal passwords. Well done Google.

  23. Re:New MS Icon on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    and Microsoft is no longer the borg
