I like how when there is a slashvertisement, everyone bitches.
This guy sidesteps, and everyone is complaining because there isn't a slashvertisement. Oh the irony.
Whenever anyone points out that these laws are to help stop terrorists, they forget that the first abuse often comes with good intents, but slowly decends into the police state nightmare no one wants.
And who controls the system? How would you 'filter' everything anyway?
It's a lovely idea from an idealistic standpoint, in reality, it'd just be abused and easy to work around.
How about if you only want to hear about what you want, you sit at home and don't browse fucking slashdot.
Seriously, you come on a news, opinion and discussion site, and then expect not to have to listen to anyone else giving an opinion. What the hell are you on?
but... but... but... I was told that if I ever saw a child naked I'm a pedophile, and if I don't want my and everyone elses privacy continually violated then I am a terrorist... that means I have to be a pedophile or a terrorist?
Are you suggesting sensible behaviour from the war-on-drugs crowd? Please. If they were capable of that, then we'd already have legalised drugs. Let's face it, we can't stop drugs, and if we could control them at least they'd be clean, and the profits could go to making drugs for ill people or whatever rather than crime. It's not perfect, but it'd be better than the current situation. Of course, everyone has it beaten into them the current stance is the only good one.
In the UK, I was told not to bother with computing related courses, instead doing Maths and Further Maths. ICT is a course on being a receptionist. Nothing more.
With android, it's different. That's to do with the companies behind the phones not being willing to share.
They clearly intend to make this fully supported.
I would honestly get up and protest over this one, it's just a step too far towards the police state they want. If it comes to that point, I'd definitely want to be doing something real (not just signing petitions).
Why not just ban them from the internet? Seriously, that appears to be what everyone wants. Take away a wounderful resoure from the children. It is for their own good!
Seriously, bullshit.
I've been running dual and even triple monitors under Linux for years. It's not hard. With nVidia cards, it's rediculously easy, just use nvidia-settings and let the GUI tool do the work. It works well.
No, you just go with a distro that offers a good range of packages.
Running Arch (especially with the AUR), I've never had to compile anything manually despite being a power user.

Does Australia get no Google? And the UK, we are getting pretty poor at this freedom thing.
Except it'll destroy our culture by having no public domain works, and less incentive to create new works.

That vigilanteism is fine online?

Only on slashdot.
Just get a really, really ugly person to do it. They are not going to be looking.

Screw making me happy, I can do that myself. Make one that stops me being lazy, I'll buy it in a second.

As far as I am aware, the plan is to make Wave an open protocol, where it can be completely isolated from anything Google by running your own stuff.
Indeed. Next we'll be seeing pornography on it! Can you imagine?

I loved that series. Then I watched the American version, the ending to that was truly, truly horrible.
Not true. nvidia-settings and twinview utilise Xinerama to inform the desktop there are two screens. They are not treated as one large desktop.
