Hmnn on further look, the keyboard sucks great time. They replaced the eee's home icon with that biased windows key, guess they will put Linux on the fridge.
A site I have never heard of stopped used openid, meanwhile the sites that I knew used openid and I have been used have not. This means openid is dying!
Meh, did you notice that since firehose, we are getting a lot more ridiculously anti-google stories? It makes sense to criticize google about privacy and stuff, but for example, check out the post about google's christmas bonuses, along with this one...
On the other hand MS boosters are getting more frequent, huh?
Well, you probably need a paradigm shift, charging for software was a pretty stupid idea anyway, hence the reason piracy has existed so much. Plenty of software companies nowadays have a service-based model rather than a product-based model.
I am quite pro free software guy, but I never wanted MS to go away, also 70% is in no way equivalent to IE dying. What I always wanted to see was something like this.
As a web developer, though, I would love to see IE 6's marketshare plummet entirely. But IE7 is kinda fine.
PS: I hope to eventually see a similar number in the OS world.
Your link from September 2008 does not impress me. It is rather disgusting to me google is so all talk about open source and cross platform stuff. They released their uber browser but it wasn't truly open source, instead, they just kept the open source version hidden but available so they can get free code, while what they truly release contains who knows what sort of code... Not to forget they are the first ones to treat OS/X and Linux as second class citizens, while they rushed to release windows' chrome, they just gave the rest of the world a 'coming soon' , I am sorry but it being three months late already is a bad sign of how google is going to treat non-windows platforms.
Hmnnn, sorry for feeding a troll, but dude, Chrome seems to use more memory than firefox 3 as of now, if your problem is memory usage, you are probably in the wrong bandwagon...
Ok, dog food! Poor google employees are getting a free 400 $us phone for Christmas! Not only that, but they allegedly used to get 30K in the past. This is exploitation!
I am sorry, but I couldn't read your post because the stupidity of self help books was distracting me. Besides, those things are bad shit, but ideology would easily replace religion's spot in causing that non-sense if religion was removed. Self-help idiots have not caused any of those things......yet. But I can assure you, self-help BS is even more retarded than religion.
Hmnn, you know what I did the other day? I watched a video from an NBC video in youtube... wtf is hulu?
Same as when NBC pulls their shows from YouTube. The internets immediately surmised that NBC didn't know what they were doing, didn't understand the importance of internet viewing and only YouTube can deliver video over the internets.
I know there are people like myself who purchase games, don't install them, but do install a downloaded copy that has the DRM restrictions removed.
Yeah... I was wondering why would you do that?. You are basically pirating because the pirated product is better than the original AND buying the original for no actual reason, other than possibly financing the corporate brains that will add DRM to next games forcing you to pirate them as well... It is non-sense to me.
... well, if you feel guilty of having to pirate due to DRM, there's always the other option, not playing that game... They do not understand a language other than money.
The article summary includes the following quote, but it doesn't actually seem to be the case if you actually study the issue. In many studies it has been shown that "honor systems" result in fewer thefts than systems where there are technological or potential criminal penalties. In many, many cases building a system of trust and relying upon people's morals and ethics is the most effective solution.
You know, you are missing the point, that's the reason he said that "you don't need complex economic studies" to reach his conclussion, cause if you did actual studies his conclussion would go unmasked as the non-sense it was.
Really, post this on slashdot? meh. Flamebait...

Although annoying, and certainly not something users should be happy about, these issues are not particularly sinister and in general are easily rectified

nterestingly enough, there's very little in the way of actual evidence that StarForce does anything harmful.

Consider one last example of a protection method which has been subject to similar levels of hysteria and misinformation, and which every legitimate Windows user has installed on their system right now: Windows Product Activation.
The wtf part
piracy has forced increasingly intrusive DRM upon us.
wtf?
There is no solution to the issue of protecting intellectual property (IP) that will satisfy all parties. There are customers who will accept nothing less than publishers acquiescing to a quasi-honor system for purchasing software [i.e. removal of all protection]. That doesnâ(TM)t work.
Hell yeah it does. Ok, so you are trying to say this won't satisfy all parties... The only party I can so far think that would not be satisfied is a bunch of corporate leeches that actually think DRM is fine and costumers must give up all their rights, well, how about we just throw them to hell or something like that?
Ad Logicam strikes back
There's one particular tactic which people commonly use in the piracy debate that absolutely must stop. This tactic involves the sarcastic use of the claim 'PC gaming is dead', and is based on a technique known as the Straw man Argument:
The Cherry on top
Back in the 1980s when my friends and I swapped copies of Amiga games, we didn't blame the copy protection for forcing us to do it
Perhaps the reason nobody pirated games because of copy protection is that such a stupid thing like DRM that makes the original product of lower quality than the pirated one, did not exist...
So, you pirated games back then? But it is just now when the industry is suffering so much about "piracy" and developers might "quit" because of the "risk" that involves making games...
Of course, copyright infringement is 'bad'... However, it does not justify DRM, no it doesn't. DRM is neither necessary to "protect" investments nor effective against piracy. The WGA part was later laughable "This proves DRM works because Microsoft keeps using WGA" Let's forget about the fact MS has been attempting to make WGA stronger and more annoyingly in every release, people do get annoyed from it, many people I know in this country moved from MSN messenger to pidgin thanks to MS' silly attempt at controlling piracy.
If I treat a person badly, in real life, and somehow that makes her take her own life, is it a crime as well? I don't think it is in my country, is it in yours? I am feeling the internet is getting over protective...
Yes, really, this is not even freshmeat material. It was not even released yet... Who cares? And well, as long as Novell is behind this I'd rather not care at all about testing it, it is not like the other distros didn't do a much better job at those things that were mentioned so eagerly in this slashvertisement...

Just look it this way, we are not losing an IE, we are earning a Silverlight.

The Aust. Gov. has already planned how to stop these security vulnerabilities, effectively immediately this article and videos will be filtered.

Not to mention the reason the only logical explanation for these cameras is that there are no cops in that area.
Yeah, and the internet was sooo wrong...
Hmnn, I'd actually prefer people to stick to religion than to self-help books.
Yeah... I was wondering why would you do that?.

That's rather offensive towards the SNL guys.

Isn't 50 years hilariously high already? They are now extending it to 70? What the heck?
It seems you are one of the guys defending their flawed business model.
