Yet, it all comes down to you choosing to use their products and "forfeit" your privacy. Don't use their stuff, don't worry about too much information getting out.
Also note how the article has little fact to it - but just a whole bunch of hearsay combined with the author's analysis of the supposed implications of this product...
Very true. Plus, I'd like to add that the title is very misleading from the article... well, in actuality, the conclusion goes against their individual opinions.
Maybe a more in-depth and focused (in terms of the article's stresses) look at things like Excel and Access as compared to OO? I'm a fan of OO for things like word processing, but show me a rival to Excel, and I'll show you a nice treasure I have. To date, no one can match Excel, and no business will bother with OO unless it can top the program that could be the best M$ business tool out there in terms of power. From someone who works with data a lot, there is no match yet, and there will not be a match for a while.
So, in summary, a Word replacement by itself will do no good for people looking to change their office suite. You must beat them on more than one front!
Anyone think of the instances where going above the speed limit is necessary - traffic issues, defensive driving, emergencies? This program seems like it would put more hassle than anything. If you are in a hurry, you shouldn't speed (that is right) - but if there is an emergency, or if you are avoiding a traffic accident, going above the speed limit is basically celebrated. I think more thought should be put into this program first before they force these sort of regulations without any exceptions.
Plus, everyone's seen school buses with their regulators, going 60mph on the highway. No one wants to be like them/
Exactly. Technology awareness is only half the battle - convincing people that the status quo is not acceptable is a whole other battle.
Because the field of information technology and technology as a whole is so fast-moving, people like to have some consistency. Sadly, Microsoft gives this to them with not only widely-compatible products (as most people use MS) but mediocrity. Why keep to this trend, we in the technological "know" ask. Why change, everyone else asks - what they have works fine.
Funny if they don't like this, as there are actually very few risks to Fusion recations. There is no waste by-product that is harmful to the area (like plutonium, for instance), there are few risks of "meltdown", the process uses only non-lethal fuels (seawater may suck to drink, but it isn't deadly to fish), and magnetic fields can be contained.
Fusion != Fission. Remember that.
There may be an internal trading system, but how can they say that there would be no effect on the local stock market/trading system?
Pakistan is getting an infusion of capital and interest after being the focus of outsourcing efforts, just like India and China - so if people can't get in via the internet, would that not have a negative impact on their internet?
However, if they fix the cable before the bell rings again in the morning in Karachi, then more props to the Pakistani government for quick action - and see more companies rely on them. Just what we need, right, in this time where the US government doesn't want to give certain countries any leverage in international barganing?

What ever happened to the good old days when people would make simple rocket nozzles by hand and call it good?

If only there was something we could do.
