How about get the fuck out my my interenet Got a problem with what I'm downloading? How come you even know in the first place? You're copyright lobbyists, not the police.
Want to see what I'm downloading? Get the police to get a warrant and see. Nobody without a warrant can enter my house without my permission, or listen to my phone, see my bank account balance etc. So why in fuck do you think you have a right to my PRIVATE information if you're not the police?
The same as the above examples only a JUDGE or someone similarly impartial should have anywhere near a right to decide if I'm guilty of something.
IE. Fuck Off.
How about instead of developing shit like this they FINALLY release 64 bit Flash for Windows.. Only taken 5+ years so far. If they can't now they should open source flash.
They wouldn't need to hack any Windows Live accounts, I remember a few months ago a list of 10's of thousands of emails and passwords for some christian site were uploaded to 4chan, from this atleast 1 in 10 had used the same password for their email account. So just find a site with a good number of users and hack that.
Now, when a police officer is in a situation like that, he usually likes to have complete control of the situation (understandable, since sometimes they end up dead when things get out of control).
This is a common myth. Police officers are *rarely* killed on the job. And border guards? I'm sure it must happen, but it seems it must be exceptionally rare in their case. But somehow that's given as an excuse when they beat the shit out of someone for *daring* to ask a question.
How is a police officer wanting control a myth? They're trained to do so to protect their own and your life. There's cops who take it too far, same as there's bad apples anywhere, but the idea of taking control of a situation to protect sounds fine. Cops do die and having control helps reduce that happening. Even border cops must see their share of crazy murderers who don't care going for the border.
If he feels like you are trying to take control, things can escalate quickly.
"Take control"? The border guards have fucking guns. More to the point, they beat and imprisoned the guy. Even further, they can press charges against him. What did he do? Asked a question? HOW DARE HE!
Again taking control is there job and what they're trained to do as it would be the best way in the majority to stop things escalating. They don't have time to explain to everyone what's going on, or to sit down and talk things through and listen to arguments. This guy didn't do what he was told by the cop and the cop turned out to be a bad apple. But cops do tell you what to do for a reason.
It would have been better for our author friend to instead get back in the car.
No, it would have been much, much worse. The worst thing one can do in the face of fascism is to acquiesce. Worst thing for society, specifically. Whether backing down or not was something he should do personally depends on how much he cares about personal liberty and what exactly he did. If all he did was ask a question, I can't see any way in which he should have known better.
What if some lunatic was up the road with the border cops mates hostage? What if there's a car full of tnt up the road? This is a country's border, not walking down the street in Hicksville. There's a point when you have to accept some authority to let the cop do his job and protect you. This isn't fascism or whatever your anon retard thinking is.
It isn't just the guy asked a question and got dragged out and beaten, it escalated to that point.
Also it's worth noting that in some jurisdictions, assault doesn't have to be physical, it can be verbal. So if you do end up in a similar situation, the best thing is to be calm and acquiescent in the moment, and then sue the hell out of them later.
Shit, in some cases, assault can be a dirty look. But you're right, the best thing to do is be a good little slave and bow to your masters...
You're at a countries border, do what the guards tell you. This isn't bowing down or anything, it's following the laws of that country that protect you and everyone else there. Don't want to do what the border guard says? Good, fuck off. Want to argue and question what they're doing when they're just going by what they've been trained to do for your protection? You're gonna get beaten and thrown in a cell. Other countries you'd probably be shot.

I wonder how many average users would get linux onto a Netbook compared to Windows? Atleast I can buy Windows ready to go on a USB drive, not follow arcane instructions to do so with linux.
Also I like how you compare Linux distros from now to an eight year old Windows OS, lets get an 8 year old Linux distro, chuck it on a netbook made with new hardware that needs new drivers, and even see the linux distro boot to a desktop for the average user (no accessing any command prompt on Either, just put disc in and install).

We've had this for years in Aus and there's no easy way to p2p, there's a nice filter stopping pretty much all mainstream porn sites etc.
Was planning to move there from Australia to avoid this soughta shit thats coming in.
So your comparing an almost 9 year old OS to new OS' from other companies?
Except you forget who just became leader of the Libs? Mr Ultra Conservative. Were fucked.
