Yet all patriots accept corruption in the end. Do you really believe George Washington didn't practice a bit of evil? Or that Abraham Lincoln truly wished to free the slaves? Review your history, ALL governments fall due to rot. It's just how long one wishes to stem the tide. Encouraging centralization of power is just the first step. And insults are the last resort of the fool.
Seriously. Who cares? Obviously not the ones that allowed the power mongering, the complete corruption. Definitely not the ones that ignored the warnings that this would happen. And certainly not me. Why? Because as a anarchist, I believe that government, no matter what form, is fundamentally corrupt. Now I don't advocate that we be government free. That would be impossible. Evolution has precluded that possibility by making us social creatures. I just acknowledge that all government eventually leads to totalitarianism. I'll be marked as off topic but I think this is extremely relevant. The power grabbing surprises me in only that it happened so quickly. I for one would love to see more of this happen. Because then the government will merely rot itself from within. And we will begin again.
I mean, if I really believed, as a fundamental aspect of my religion, that our memories were implanted yesterday by aliens, would it be valid to say that history classes teach atheism because they don't fit with my particular religious beliefs?
Yes, And they'd sue your for revealing the great secret. You must pay several hundred thousand dollars and bully people. Xenu is among us!
Just curious, Why do he/she/they care if its listed on distrowatch? If you want a distribution orientated toward specific beliefs, and its done in a manner that is appealing, then this should be a non-issue. Of course, if it really is just a skin, all they are doing is creating a headache for themselves. But that is their choice as presented under the gpl. Don't like the decision of a admin, find a alternative. The internet isn't bound by normal physical laws, normally that is. You can do pretty much what ever you want. *shrugs* But as a species, we require drama I guess.
Great. Another pointless "top X" list spread across twelve ad-ridden pages. Who accepts this crap? Editors? Hello?
Anyways, I disagree with their final decisions too. Their top two are Steam (bloated DRM-ware) and Direct2Drive (also bloated DRM-ware) while giving Impulse (no DRM inherent) third place. In fact, they don't even list DRM as a con of Steam or Direct2Drive (or "no DRM" as a pro of Impulse).
You know I remember something like this back in 199, it had a second life-esk mall and stuff. I think it was called 3dworlds or something similar. Hardly the F"first" 3d browser in anycase.
It does bring up a interesting point. Does the extremist label apply to Islamic points of view? Could this be a way to attack political "extremism" like not being patriotic by not subscribing to current views?
What happens when your parental unit discovers this (assuming said parental unit understands what this "iphone" thing is) will do with this information? Have you been drinking my beer? No Sir! Really, let me see your phone. Um, *smash* there now you happy! You never loved me!! *dramatic music effects from dying iphone*
I would but I need you to deposit 500 dollars into my bank account so I may save my sick king from a terrible plague! Oh the woe! Oh the agony! Oh the need for non traceable funds!!!!!!!
As processor caches increase, could you use this to run the kernel from the processor caches? Intel based processor caches will soon exceed 6mb. Just a idea.
Never, that would make Intel what is often refered to as a "Sad Panda." They make chips that go vrroomm vroom and having a specialized chip that takes the load off then they won't sell much. Which doesn't make them very joy joy cherry happy. And they need that happy fun time you know.
Yes, I DID just mainline my coffee!
What are the plans for the mission after funding is removed? I mean, is there a contingency that allows for a different department to take over? Forgive me for my ignorance, I haven't been keeping track of things lately. The other idea I had then immediately shot down due to the military applications is profit sharing in a sense. I was going to say if they didn't have the funding, maybe the EU or some other country with the proper funds could take over funding and continue the mission. But I remember reading the review on the hardware/software being a National security issue. I know this has been done before for launching satellites, but has it ever been done in the sense of transferring the cost burden? I.E I launch the hardware, get my science on and then sell it to you to use?
The just avoid proprietary software. It'd be interesting to see cheat devices/software being blocked on the grounds of that blizzards has stated if it's GNU software. It MIGHT work if it were BSD software since their isn't a requirement to release any changes. (Not meant to be flame bait, I'm merely stating the changes were non-obvious.) That or choose a software company that aren't complete *uc*tards about insecure software.
Back it up to what? Another ssd if they become standard? Tape drive? Pshh. Not a chance. Look long term. The only other option would be to pay someone to store my crap and frankly, I value my security/privacy far to much for that.
I've read that the algorithms used in SSD's are usually proprietary. The problem with SSD's is that they DIDN'T fix the wear leveling problem. It exists, just a lot slower now due to the algorithms referenced above. If my drive dies, I'll have to find a service that can recover my files, but they will have to be certified in samsung, seagate, white label, etc. I really feel uncomfortable with that idea.
I know its insanely non-standard, but I know gentoo has a article on how to map graphics memory as system ram from the kernel. http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Use_memory_on_video_card_as_swap A potentially interesting idea since the stream proccessors could help offload some heavy compiling. Of course, I could be wrong and fully expect my flogging.
Go to atomfilms and search for "Me and the Big Guy." I'm pretty sure if it ever became mandatory to have these devices, This would be the way to get rid of them....
The issue isn't if we need a national id system. We already have one. It's called a social security card. And as far as it goes, it works. Alot of fraud and general naughtiness, but it works. Any idea that would get implemented would work just as well as that. One reason, and one reason alone. Greed. If the system can be used by humans, it's going to be faulty.

Give me Impulse over Steam or D2D any day.
if you don't like, don't read it.
And yes, My internets have 4 dimensional properties! :D

It makes me wonder what parental unit is stupid enough to give their kid an iPhone
the same kind that scream about video games causing wanton violence.

Mulinux is pretty flexiable as a quick kiosk OS. Forgot to mention it.

The point being that at some point, there has to be a question about open formats, thats all I'm say.
Backup your files? Now that's just silly.

*shrugs* Different point of view I guess. If the hardware dies, oh well. If it works, oh well. I'll have to replace it eventually anyway.
