I haven't had any issue with Huawei and ZTE dongles from 2006-today on Ubuntu 1204.
I support these dongles in my weekemd work @ a major ISP. Our lab has a Ubuntu machine.
(No official Linux support AFAIK, which is weird, because all our issues are Win/Mac which both struggle with these. I've had Linux calls but that's usually to ask whether it's necessary to use the ISP software.)
If we accept surveillance, we should use technology critically, and develop a cloak (use different browser strings every 5 secs, deflect and misinform tracking services).
If we don't accept it, we must fight democratically for greater transparency and public scrutiny, with legal implications for trespassers.
If not, you seem to have misread political theory. Liberal theory assumes that other people are a great danger, paving the way for a sovereign/ govt to ensure horizontal security . Its justification is void if it abuses the vertical power.
Interestingly, other people is also a danger to Sartre's freedom. I'd venture that they're both wrong and applaud your sarcastic joke.
Let's not forget Stuxnet, for those of us with nuclear facility centrifuges! It's just great having them spin up while you're searching for a parking spot.
Next iteration will have OC control and be compatible with clothes washers!
You just need to build a tower in your city that is tall enough to look above the encrypted wall and straight into the core. But don't get noticed or the tower will collapse.
Your citizens may experience linguistic confusion some periods of time afterwards but eventually they'll come together in commerce.
Persuade them that they're in the Matrix, and the only way to break free of chroot is to dig an SSL tunnel to the / directory.
Anyway. Watch your back. They're gonna be pissed off as soon as they've forgotten you created them.
The better review would read: "We're a little disappointed by the DRM this time around. There are few indications of spyware or bloatware, the constant-connection requirement will make the targets more suspicious, and all in all this isn't the draconian evil DRM we've come to expect from EA; there will be no buying out people's rights with EULAs if the big players don't deliver. We can only hope the overall scheme is advanced enough for the next iteration, when people have forgotten all about it. Here's to Sim City 6(66)!"
It's within reason of course, I've personally asked to be cut out from a story when I exited the police station to renew my passport (they usually film there when someone has been raped, kill etc). I can't expect the media to observe my rights when they are busy doing their jobs.. but I can expect it when I ask for it. Usually they will blur or cut out people "sticking out" by default.
And whether you can report to the police would be a question of gravity.
Being a victim and being in need of protection are two different things.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't address cultural systems that makes victims.
I'm not sure how to read your comment. You state that 1-3 above are bigot, and go on to support them.. isn't the "bad media" the ones explaining people that they are victims?
I understand your case and I add that many developers use Apple machines (with OSX or Linux).
However, We the nerds are in minority. I support the rest.
The assumption that Apple customers made a better and more informed choice than their PC peers is wrong. Customers are mostly or statistically clueless on this particular subject, but Apple advertising/salesmen makes them believe that they made a better choice. Clever!
This is why an Apple user is superior to a PC user whenever they call me with the same problem. Usually they want me to confirm whatever justification they adopted from their shop.
So while "the right tool for the job" is a good point (personally all my tools are GNU/Linux branded but my thinking is the same so I use several distros), it doesn't invalidate the reality of the "cult like" axioms of the larger Apple user base.
It's psychological, I suspect, since most PC users start the conversation with how stupid they are with computers. Apple users are equally "stupid" but they know for a fact that they can't be wrong about their Apple choice, and allow themselves a fair portion of smugness, which makes these calls so hilarious.
If asked, I say I use GNU/Linux which shares a heritage with OSX, but has the freedom of PCs and comes at no cost. Sans any smugness.
I'm 100% confident those caveats are there. If you're the main person in a news story, walking down the public street, you are not protected by this. But the guy in the background who is clearly visible, perhaps in the same trade as said person, but not affiliated, may ask to be blurred or cut out. This is reasonable, because he may become a victim of association.

I saw Jersey Shore the other night. I'd venture that they're here already.
Because you bought one and can't figure out what to do with it;)
Yup. And at the same time many small-medium businesses run printers with web servers wholly unprotected.

Having some constraint is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary!
But this is not what's at stake here.
You can buy alcoholics now? Hmmm..
1. Hang around downtown at night?
2. ???
3. EBay and profit!!!
The tracking isn't the problem, it's the lack of transparency and legal vacuum that is.
Your solution is good, though undesirable.
It isn't the only alternative.
If we accept surveillance, we should use technology critically, and develop a cloak (use different browser strings every 5 secs, deflect and misinform tracking services).
If we don't accept it, we must fight democratically for greater transparency and public scrutiny, with legal implications for trespassers.
There are probably other alternatives too.
I must have your cookies, then, 'cause I only find porn I don't want!
If you were being sarcastic, you're funny.

Nah, they probably just watched more bad television than you did.
To achieve what, exactly?
Scare to death some people that happen to be next to the payphone/ cellphone when the police show up?

I've not used any of the Solaris systems. How do they differ from GNU/Linux distros (I.e. what could we learn and port? to Linux?)
So it's like SimCity for Lemmings without the cliffs?
They should put all of it indoors and call it the EU or something.

Forgot it was /. I replied to.

The views on USSR differ widely depending on which country we are talking about, and which ethnic group.
You can say the same about the US in the 90's.
However, the number of body bags were arguably higher on the eastern front.
Your questions lack the essential ".. and how much oil do they have?" appendage.

But without rounded edges? It'll never stand up in court.
