Damn dude. Tell the "free" internet people they are about to have to apply for a license to use Internet 2 and take a oath of loyality and they peg you a troll.
./ is getting took over by a bunch of delusional fucks.
The desire to control and repress is part of the long term plans of the Evangelical Christians here in the US. Their desire to control thought and crush dissent is just as appetizing as it is to the Chinese communist party. But fortunately, smarter (yet more dangerous people) are using the open internet to track the activities of others rather than trying to censor it.
Don't fret, censorship is coming to the US soon, but not before they are done getting red list/blue list together. Internet 2 will be the "US Internet" that one will have be licensed to use and one will take oaths of pledges to allegiance of the evil aggressor state of Neocon America.
People who think that "freedom" or "diversity" are alive and well in America needs their head examined.

The US gets all of the second hand, dated crap from Europe and Asia. I posted a while back that Verizon's VCAST, exclusive new TV over cell phone but failed to mention Vodaphone in Europe has had TV on their cell phones in Europe since 2002 (probably sooner!!).
The only robots we'll see in the US will be either vacuuming the floor or huge war robots from China to destroy our sorry Christian asses. Instead of wasting time on God, we should have been researching and creating awesome technology instead of outsourcing it.
It is nice to know at least some segments of the human race are interested in progress. Here in the US, Christianity and Neoconservatives will keep us in the stone age for the next 100 years. I expect witch burnings sooner or later. Maybe textbooks explaining why Muslims are barbarians and the world is flat.
Best Buy is starting to have the same moral and ethical fabric as Circuit City. Circuit City is notorious for lies, deceit, and generally screwing over its customers.
I have not walked into a Circuit City in nearly 10+ years and since they fired everyone and hired them back at reduced pay did not do much for me to shop there either.
I am kinda curious as to why people are getting various items like ceramic tiles and empty boxes when expecting equipment from the mail-order side of Best Buy. Me thinks there is a theft and resale operation going on that Best Buy might be trying to keep under raps. I have no evidence of this but it is curious as to why this keeps happening.
Just how many phones can the human race handle!?!?! I mean soon phones will outnumber people and phones will soon realize this, plot, plan, and strike! And then the phones send out 300+ page phone bills, report on your every move and conversation, and with their new built-in tazers, they'll torture the unsuspected for illegal thought and speech!
The phones have been plotting for years! 10 years ago, it was pagers that leashed their electronic slaves, and then the cell phone bricks became the electronic ball and chain. And then, they drugged their slaves with up-to-the-date news, sports, information, mp3, video, and real-time GPS navigation! It is like giving crack to a crackhead!!!
And worst of all, these phones fuck faster than rabbits!!!!
We must act now to stop the phone menace from taking over and destroying the human race! Flush that iPhone down the toilet before its TOO LATE!!!!!
Why does the US get all of the shit side of the tech products? This year, Verizon introduced VCAST while Vodaphone in Europe has had television on their cell phones since at least 2002! I am getting sick of living in a second-hand flea market when it comes to products.
Whoever buys this product and then pays for FREE open-source software from their catalog is a tool! Now Linspire money hungry monkeys are getting into bed with M$ after losing their original name, "Lindows".
Let's hope she can succeed at running Fox News into the ground. Fortunately, she was unable to do that at HP but if she had stayed any longer, she would have. She can get on the economic segments and tell people how ordering Compaq to fire workers and rehire them at half the pay and no benefits as contractors is a good model for a takeover. And then fired HP employees after the merger, keeping those contractors. She can say how outsourcing is good for the economy as she fired MORE HP workers for those Indian call centers.
Carly, you're a FUCKING BITCH! (and go ahead, moderate me down to a score of zero, I do not care. She is a bitch who destroyed lives and everyone here knows it).
Part of the biggest problem was what I call the "salary correction" in 2003/4 when outsourcing was getting IT workers canned left and right. A lot went to contracting and the rest went part to full-time at reduced salaries. This was the plan. Notice how there are no more $100,000/year system administrators anymore like they're were in the 90s.
In 2002, my annual salary was $110,000, today it is $74,000 and I have had to move four times to keep up. I had started in Houston, now I am in Cleveland. Inflation has killed the value of my money and "benefits" are a joke as well high deductible PPO and a sorry 401k/severance package savings plan.
Now I will never go back to Houston again since there is NO IT industry to speak of, but all I do is keep ahead of the outsourcers now. IT sucks fucking ass and what sucks is I am good at it.
Who are these Americans that are under surveillance? What a load of crap. No America citizen should be under surveillance by the government unless they got these people on film building bombs or something or records proving they plan to commit terrorist acts.
Nixon pulled this when he was in office. Misusing the FBI and CIA to spy on Americans who did not agree with the Republican party.
I cannot say the Democrats are any better. Clinton used the IRS to harass those he hated as well.
I said it before and I will say it again...if I get one of those National Security Letters, it will be posted right here on slashdot.org and I will take out an Ad in the local paper, get it on dailykos.com, anyone who'll take it. I ain't afraid of these Republican/Christian government fucks.
And yes sir, SELinux is most certainly a CANCER...maybe more like the AIDS virus. It is a constant enemy I have to deal with as an IT security professional when I work with other dev and support teams that want a "one size fits all" and load a product that is #1) does nothing to enhance security on any linux server, and #2) creates binary backdoors using algorithms the government developed to get back into to any server they wish.
The religion of M$ is the "$"...the almighty dollar. That is why they are pushing Vista. They did the same thing with XP when it came out. It is all about money and control.
It does not work in countries who are outside the US, like the EU and China are shit scared about Windows controlling their data centers and US built-in backdoors. SELinux is another cancer we are constantly fighting against as well.
...I have canceled my Cingular/AT&T account and am now a Verizon customer.
I was a former AT&T wireless customer and everyone remembers what happened then. I choose not to relive it. I am not wasting my money for a $499 phone.
Let's pray to God
Oh heavenly father, bless all us rich people
especially AT&T and energy
for we are better than everyone else
and people with more money are better than those
without money...
may all the poor burn in hell and rich people go to heaven
in your rich name...AMEN
The creation and endorsement of terminator seeds is a crime against humanity. I cannot believe money and time were spent to develop this.
These should be made illegal everywhere on this planet.
We already have enough problems with dictators starving their populations for their political ends. Let's not give them anymore tools to do so.
In a previous DRM discussion, I pointed out the wasteful costs of DRM and copy-protection technology and it will ultimately be defeated by those who choose to. What this "copyright alliance" is an another attempt to create laws to stop people from developing software except for companies like Microsoft.
The software and record companies have invested millions into developing copy-prevention, lock-out chips, etc and it gets defeated by some person with 20 lines of code. That is why they want congress to write laws against it. How do you think the CEO of CBS felt when he gets music mp3s emailed to him from some guy who beat a copy-protected CD with a black marker the day it came out.
I have always believed that DMCA was never designed to fight music and software pirates, but to stop the Open Source software developers. I would not be surprised if congress tried to "license" developers in the coming years. Something else that bothers me is if the try to merge the DMCA and the Patriot Act.
The reality is IBM (and the US government to an extent) developed lots of ground work on Operating Systems, hardware/software addressing and the internet itself 25+ years before Bill Gates graced us with his presence.
M$ will not named those patents because IBM owns them all and anything the US government cooked up got public domained.
M$ just wrote a HUGH ASS check...let's see if they can cash it.
The article failed to point out exactly how women are being kept out of IT positions. I know many women who are Unix system admins and Java and.NET developers and I doubt someone conspired to keep them out of IT.
I just do not see IT as an interest for the majority of women.

You have the 10 commandments and "you're going to hell boards" all over the place when traveling between cities. What fight did I lose?

Keep God out of America (or at least Ohio)!

As an alcoholic, I can assure the slashdotters everywhere, that I will continue to drink and continue view pr0n.
Most music is crap anyway...not worth buying, let alone downloading (especially in the US).
...to bad the Americans only care about conquest of the middle east and ethnic cleansing of Muslims so their god will be happy.
Troll? Kiss my fucking ass. What I said is true and everyone here KNOWS IT. Linspire is a worthless HACK!

Agreed...flamebit...but Agreed with 100% of everything you just said.
