i have history as my hobby and i do a lot of reading. before, it was quite burdensome. finding the right subject article, finding it in right detail. then, needing to get more detail on a sub-section and having to go all through that over and over again with horrible half assed results from google, altavista, yahoo searches etc, enthusiast forums this that.
wikipedia changed it for me. sufficient detail on each article, sufficient detail in each of the relevant topics you can go into from in-site links, at whatever level of depth you want, and, if you need much more, i could just check the references and do lengthy, in-concise, academic reading from those references.
i had had devoured much more topics and subjects on world history in just 2-3 years than i did in the preceding 15 years, even using my university's library back then. (to the extent of reading francis drake's journals from his own book).
yeah, so i thank wikipedia. i thank everyone who had contributed to it. from heart. thank you.
note : on biases, trolling, this that - if one does not have the mental prowess to discern biases, s/he shouldnt be reading anything that is publicized in the first place. EVERYthing has biases, including encyclopedia britannica, and larousse. criticizing wikipedia for biased articles, is bullshit of the first order.
read the stuff. did you read the stuff ? do you think bullying an ally into submission, so that they wont LEGALLY prosecute the morons who have kidnapped their citizens from the middle of europe, and TORTURED them, is being 'good player' ?
the shitheads like you, who dub the above as being 'good player' is the reason why these exist in the first place.
the logic behind the astrological sign is, the cosmic radiation/influx flavor that is active at that particular point (or if you want to go spiritual, the influence from the particular star set) affects your character. so, once you are born, you are born under that particular influx, and its set. it does not change if the constellations change later, because the particular flavor of influx there at the time of your birth, was the one affected you.
tho, i dont give any credence to fortune telling part of this, i have seen a brain boggling measure of accuracy of astrology in regard to determining the general (broad) behavior set/characteristics of people in my life and in general. from the excessively homely trait of taurus, to its long winded patience and eventual mega explosion when s/he feds up (thats why its called taurus) to insincerity, infidelity, undecidedness of scorpio in regard to love affairs...
That means they cannot throttle apple.com more than they do microsoft.com, and vice-versa.
FFS, how difficult is this to understand???
yes, now explain us, how will the criteria for 'nondiscrimination' and 'network management' will be defined. huh ? they are not defined ? so, they are solely left to the whim of the private party ?
yeah. that illusion. just like how you can watch your news from another party, if you dont like the 4 major news corporations, who own 80% of news market, and behave according to the same guidelines. or, like how you can buy a brand of cleaner that is not produced by p&g or unilever.
you say you never heard of him, then you have proceeded to conclude a full psychological profile from guy's pictures in a linked in profile. 'he has crazy look'.
eu 'soviet' apparatus had worked for the benefit of the people so far. even, it also was instrumental in defending even americans' freedoms, from the advances of american private interests, in the case of acta and similar. or, microsoft's monopolistic practices, or, three strikes and so on.
its important for those of you here to speak up too. you cant just delegate speaking up to people who go to protests. this is also a sample of population here. if you dont speak up, it means very possibly the likes of you also dont speak up, from your segment of the society.
we talk about how unworkable, public-enemy the system in america has become. and say that wikileaks exposes stuff like these, and it is necessary. whoops -> mod down to oblivion. uncomfortable truth better not heard.
and when we call on americans, some of you come up saying that not all americans are the same, some of you actually see what's going on, and aware of how things really are. ok. well. nice.
however, you have to do that, BEFORE being called out. if, you dont speak, and instead let the most loud voice that speaks be of irrationality and make-believe, it means that you are basically leaving the arena to such minded people.
we have discussed a lot of things like these on this very website. the fact that you are asking that question.... well, i wont spend too much effort to explain. youre either a shill, or you actually dont read the website youre participating, or, you are a zealot. there can be no other explanation for expressing strong opinion in a subject you dont know shit about.
the difference in between apple fanbois and 'assangebois' is that, the latter is a show of support for people exposing uncomfortable truth. and the fact that there are morons who put two in the same basket, like you, is the explanation for why we are in this kind of mess on this planet in the first place.
new papers that are going to be released has ufo information revealed by u.s. officials in transcripts. another reason why they are trying to suppress it so frantically, is this.
im not american, but what manning exposed has put forth that the plague corrupting america is directly affecting me and my loved ones' lives from oceans away, to an extent i couldnt ever have imagined.
i see manning as someone who exposed some real, real shit. im not even going to go into the fact that he has helped americans to discover that their government was betraying their trust, their funds and their rights.
i still use wikipedia to great extent. the fact that one of your edits have been shunned does not make it a less valid source. take your whining elsewhere. the complaint wales puts forth is valid and important. you may choose not to use wikipedia. but if a few corporations close the internet as we know it, as their fenced gardens, all of your freedom goes away.

to hone and strengthen the concept of 'reaction' in citizens' minds.
microsoft owns some of the patents behind h264.

it works. from top level, gpu tolling gaming, to using development tools. i dont need anything better.

and jupiter aligns with mars ?
so that kind of shit was real after all ?

Why don't you try "popping your cherry" and get a Slashdot ID.
good times, good times ...
thats the principle - once you let parties to get increasing control of any aspect of social life, it doesnt stop until you come up and forbid it.
seeing apple getting away with its antics and control mania, others have started to engage in it too.
now, what will happen ?
you say you never heard of him, then you have proceeded to conclude a full psychological profile from guy's pictures in a linked in profile. 'he has crazy look'.
please explain the concept of 'crazy look' to us.
apparently someone forgot the rule of i.t. : "if it aint broke, dont fix it"

excuse me but you are extremely biased.

you gotta start somewhere. if you attempted a slow migration, the private interests would have a lot of time to prevent it or send it off track.

mod down whenever someone supports wikileaks ...

noone working for real money can spend MUCH time for getting to know an app. period. unless, you are willing to pay it.
cck, panels, views, webforms, all the crap you are pushing, are limiting and time-inefficient for business purposes, serious development.
youre basically just a drupal fan. thats alright. but dont come up trying to sell it for things that it is not suitable for.
