Yeah, you don't steer your car by hanging your penis out the window in the direction you wish to turn. If you do that, then you risk getting your penis totally demolished by a transport truck. Or groped by a cyclist.
Are you suggesting that a Roland Piqpaille-type situation might be going on here? Publicity in exchange for something else, be it favours or financial benefits, perhaps?
I haven't heard of Whitedust Security before. Who exactly are they? What are some notable accomplishments of this group in the field of computer security? Have they performed any other notable studies, or written any revolutionary papers?
It must be kept in mind that that particular line is from Leviticus, and not from the teachings of Christ. Since true Christians subscribe to and practice the ideals taught by Christ, it is perfectly acceptable (and often necessary) for them to disregard the contents of the Old Testament. That is the true essence of being a Christian: learning from Christ, not from scripture that predated Christ.
Remember, it was the Catholic church who was involved in the business of molesting children, and then trying to cover up their crimes. The Catholic church is about as Christian as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is. That is, the Catholic church is not very Christian at all. They often partake in the most anti-Christian activities. The Catholic church has proven time and time again that they do not subscribe to the teachings of Christ.
The people I'm talking about are true Christians. The kind of people who disregard the political dealings of groups like the Catholic church and the neoconservative groups in the US. These people are often the most outspoken against what the Catholic church did. It's these true Christians who helped expose the deeds of the Catholic offenders, and helped prosecute them for the harm they did to so many children.
Oh, and I'm not a Christian, for your information.
Why should I care what the fuck Dan Savage thinks? I mean, really. If I want to watch some consenting adults eat each other's shit, then let me watch it. If I want to see a woman pissing on another woman while sucking on a horse's cock, then let me view it. But one thing I shouldn't do is let Dan Savage's opinion matter one bit to me. I should view what I want to view, according to my own limits, and not according to what Dan Savage says.
How DARE you think about such deviant sexual practices! We are talking about America. The land of the free! And all you can do is pollute such beautiful freedom with thoughts of anal granny gangfuck and farmers sucking on horse cock and three large black cocks in a white adult's mouth and sperm in Dixie cups.
Please refrain from blaming all Christians for these sort of initiatives. Indeed, the Christians responsible for this sort of crap are often the most extremist, moronic Christians. The sort who have to resort to forcing their twisted idea of religious beliefs on others because they have no better purpose in life. They cannot produce great works of art, or engineering marvels, or even help people. The only thing they're capable of is brutal oppression, be it via "obscenity laws" or wars of aggression against foreign sovereign nations.
Indeed, I personally know many Christians who are capable of great things. Engineers, artists, musicians, authors, programmers, doctors, and many other occupations. They are all horrified about nonsense like this.
The ones I have talked to admit that they sometimes like a good, solid ass fucking. They won't share that with their congregation, but they'll admit it to their friends. Some of them like to be tied up and beaten with leather whips while being penetrated simultaneously by two or three of their closest buddies. Again, they won't tell their pastor or priest, but they'll still do it.
As Christ taught time and time again, it is the duty of Christians to be tolerant and loving of their fellow man. Thus any decent and true Christian will accept that some people enjoy anal sex, bondage, scatplay, and many other sexual acts deemed as "deviant" by the extremist "Christians". In fact, many of the most respectable and true Christians partake in such activities.
Let's be honest. Anyone who has actually tried using Freenet knows rather quickly that it's just not that usable. Perhaps it is more secure than the WWW, but it is nowhere near as useful. I mean, waiting literally half a day to obtain a few KB of content isn't worth it. Chances are if you're in a despotic situation then you won't be able to wait the long times necessary with Freenet.
No, I think they're more worthwhile sources of news because the news they provide is more accurate and truthful than that of their right-leaning counterparts.
Like it or not, left-leaning news outfits (such as the Beeb) often provide far more accurate and truthful reporting than the ultra-neoconservative outfits (ie. FOX News) or even the right-leaning programs (eg. CNN, MSNBC, CBS News, etc.). That said, they still do have their conflicts of interest. However, their programming is usually far more intelligent than that of the corporate news media.
Indeed, I would hate to see what a truly efficient Microsoft could do to Apple, Sun and the open source community. Considering their resources, and if they can whittle themselves down to a highly efficient company, they could put up an effort against their competitors second to none. Now, perhaps that wouldn't be a bad thing. An innovative Microsoft will force the open source community and other companies to become just as competitive, if not more so.
But that doesn't get around the problem with regular users being unable to understand the concept of file size. So now instead of a email server administrator (ie. hopefully a knowledgable person) deal with the problem of large attachments, you have a regular user again being confused. And there's a good chance they'll enlist the help of an administrator. Either way, the administrator will still be hassled.
I think a new term is needed to describe software like this. It lacks the overt commercial aspect of traditional spyware, in that its sole purpose isn't to blast the infect system with advertisements or to collect marketing data. This software has far more of a legality aspect to it. As such, I propose the term "cockware".
I derive the name from the fact that these companies crow loudly like the morning cock, in their case trying to awake people to the presence of media files (rather than the dawn sun). It is nothing but a complete nuisance, and best to be ignored.
Oh, and this is the type of software that can really fuck you up the ass (ala a male penis "cock").
Indeed, that's what I was suggesting. Just like anybody with a backpack is now considered a "terrorist" in London, soon enough anybody running a non-Microsoft operating system will automatically be declared a "copyright infringer". If you don't run such programs then it will be assumed you are guilty of copyright infringement, and you will be punished immediately.
Has anyone checked to see if this program sends and data back to remote servers possibly operated by the media cartel? Could it report back any potentially copyright-violating files that have been found, along with other information (ie. perhaps copies of documents, images, spreadsheets, etc.) that may contain identifying information? A trojan of sorts, one might say.
Fucking commie kids recording the music they just created in their parents' garage. Anti-capitalistic hate-mongering terrorists! Hopefully the next version of this program detects such social filth, kicks them square in the scrotums, cuts their guitar strings, and defecates on their drum set. That ought to teach those punks for being creative without enlisting the permission of the recording industry.
Who is going to do this suing? I mean, who is going to be able to finance this? Perhaps a business, but even then, most businesses probably will not be willing to take the risk. So while it's perhaps a good solution in theory, suing them over this is most likely completely infeasible in reality.
No, I think the consumers will just bend over a bit further so that they can be fully penetrated. Let's be honest; Western consumers have forgotten how to revolt. That's why people still buy software, DVDs, CDs, etc., with crippling copy protection. Sure, such things are an inconvenience, but most people don't have the testicles, time, or willingness to stand up and say, "THIS IS BULLSHIT!"
It probably doesn't. After all, these companies don't exactly believe in fair use, even if it is legally mandated. As far as they're concerned, any such file should be treated as an illegal copy, and thus should be deleted. It's quite possible that that's what this software has been designed to assume.
It starts out as voluntary. Then it's mandated by law. Soon enough it becomes illegal to run operating system software that this software does not run on. And they do not port it beyond Windows. Indeed, this could become a very powerful weapon against Apple. If running such software on a regular basis becomes mandatory by law, and a port is not made to Mac OS X, then Apple could be in a real bind. Wouldn't that be something if the media groups were able to get revenge on Jobs for his recent animosity towards them by basically outlawing Mac OS X, hmm?
Indeed, considering the political clout of these media groups, it would not be unreasonable to believe that running such software on a very regular basis will become mandatory in the near future. Of course, what that means for non-Windows users is uncertain.
Having a mail server simply ignore messages greater than a certain size will no doubt cause just as many problems as it will solve. Now the user will wonder, "Why the hell didn't my email get sent?" and chances are they'll hassle their IT guy or administrator about being unable to sent their mail. Either way, it will be their lack of very basic knowledge that is causing the problems. And until they acquire such knowledge, perhaps the best thing to do is for them to not use such systems at all.
