please fuck off. eff is fighting a LOT of shit that you rant against in slashdot. so dont bring irrelevant bullshit like spam. so you got a few emails, SO what ?
this region was a religious center BEFORE mankind domesticated wheat. one of the stunning things about this place is, they think that wheat was very probably domesticated here, because nearby wild grain dna is the closest to the dna of the modern wheat we use. this is probably the place where farming started.
this is what that kind of people initiating such bullshit should immediately be receiving. these people are running PUBLIC service, yet, totally inaffluent with what they are going to run. im sure that there are also services that this city runs over internet too. unbelievable. asking PASSWORDS. maybe even public service ban is too small a response.
can they introduce a bill to do something football fans dont want, or similar ? they cant. because they fear that there will be rioting, heads will roll, heads will be whacked. same goes with minorities, etc etc.
you cant do such things, even in the name of public safety, or anything else.
buuuuut, you can introduce all kinds of shitty legislation to curb internet. you can. because, all they will be doing is protest, send emails and whatnot. all will peacefully shout and yell, politely, send a few mails and go about their business. if you can make a law stick, it will stick, and they will whine on, and do nothing.
Sell an item for $20, pay the original creator 5 cents. despite all the while reproduction and distribution costs are a few dimes. send the artist to world tours to earn the money, overstress them and they will start using drugs to relax.
then preach how beautiful a system this is.
is there any difference between this, and some feudal lord preaching what a beautiful system feudal system was, back in middle ages ?
so, the mullahs in iran can suppres citizens, keep bolstering hizbollah, lebanese hizbollah, (unbelievably a group of FOREIGN islamist recruits), and basj, strengthen in power and keep more effectively pursuing islamicization aims of any countries nearby AND europe, and then in a decade later, its at your door.
there are stuff you can do well to stay out (iraq), and stuff you should not (afghanistan, taliban, iran). if youre a not a moron that is...
let me give you a historic example - chamberlain DID stay out of german affairs in 30s.
with all the stampede we are doing here, and with our technical expertise, actually slashdot should be wreaking havoc on mullah's aims in iran. yet, did anyone do anything ?
you dont need to offer advice here. international citizens will do that. iranian intelligence may reach slashdot, but they cant reach international citizens. let them try and whack a u.s. citizen, u.k. citizen if they dare.
if you make it good, and we like it, you'd be surprised how fast proprietary technology gets replaced. look at PHP. many of you who work corporate may not be aware, but PHP dominates the majority of sites that belong to individuals and small businesses now. check elance, rentacoder, etc - you'll find that the demand for php projects at least quadruples anything closest.
how did it happen ?
people liked it. it was adequate (then), it was free, it allows you to do anything (now). period. it took off.
before any of you language nazis come up and start trolling about how you dont like php syntax, how there are more 'elite' languages out there, and how php is 'not a language' etc, i should say - i dont give a flying fuck. neither do millions of people who utilize it and who develop on it. so keep it.
after all the shit at&t tried to pull off about the internet, how on earth can they think that they could be accepted in gaming circles ?
i, for one, as a gamer, would refrain from ANYthing that is sold through at&t. its better not to get devil involved in something than to try to fix it later.
internet is no longer an amenity of modern technology. its a FEATURE of life. which affects many things ranging from, especially, freedom of speech and right to receive information to paying bills online. some european governments are even carrying over all kinds of services that citizens need from a government online. therefore internet is not a luxury anymore, its a BARE necessity of MODERN Life.
just reflected in the french high court decision, striking the dumbfucked 'three strikes and youre out' law as unconstitutional. that is the case in any country of the world.
just wait until virgin and universal gets sued by an angry subscriber who misses to pay his bills online, or cant access his bank site, or cant use new online government services.
no, actually dont wait. its unconstitutional, its YOUR country, YOUR constitution, YOUR rights. stand up for them. give them a piece of your mind.
a new world consensus gets established, u.s. finds itself isolated. then your congressmen can fuck themselves in their little isolated corner. world is not going to listen to shit from rotten as u.s. congressmen while the world is turning upside down.
election votes do not 'often surprise and disappoint' in places there is ethnic nationalism. ethnically nationalist populations vote, ETHNICALLY. thats what they have been doing in azerbaijani iran in the last 29 years. they AGAIN did the same. yet, somehow, ahmedinajad got 55%+ vote there too, JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE.
if you still cant realize what's going on, ask yourself how it is possible that a candidate can get consistently and UNIFORMLY 55% vote everywhere in a country. EVEN in hatemi backing tehran districts.
its also clear you have no idea of how middle east politics is. this is not america.
So seriously, all you noob Iranians who want to resist but don't know how, stfu and get your head down. Petition for U.N. observers, or whatever else you need to do, but don't go Hollywood Hacker on anyone or you will be out in the cold for good.
if you dont want to help liberty loving, suppressed people around the world, SHUT THE FUCK UP and keep YOUR voice down. we didnt win modern social rights and values with the likes of you. if you wont help, get the fuck out of society to whatever mountain top you see fit.
you dont know SHIT about the history of revolutions. study some history. all the major revolutions started with people yelling in the streets. including the french revolution, which abolished the feudal system and gave you your modern rights and values, most of which, you are seeing unmodified since that date.
they are saying election is stolen, because in azerbaijani parts of iran, ahmedinajad got 55%+ vote. never in iran's history ANYone other than an ethnic azerbaijani got that kind of vote there.
let me put it in american context - ahmedinajad getting 55% vote in azerbaijani parts of iran means barack obama getting 55%+ vote in any part of redneck midwest with little black population.
im another fucking expert. i live next to iran, in a country which has the risk of becoming another iran itself. so, if you do not have a similar situation, either research first, or shut up and listen.
you are GUESSING that, just like you said.
just like how americans run away to canada.
and therefore churchill quote is totally inappropriate.
it will be a new era for i.t. globally.
they are doing what they have told they would be doing. SO ? what are you doing ? trying to garner points by playing devil's advocate unnecessarily ?
get out.
please fuck off. eff is fighting a LOT of shit that you rant against in slashdot. so dont bring irrelevant bullshit like spam. so you got a few emails, SO what ?
does 'being a fundraising article' damage the article or the cause or the organization ?

despite your bullshit sarcasm, he should EXACTLY do that. thats why you elect representatives in a democracy.

democratically elected parties, acting against the will of the citizens, without any worries.
elect a party, and for 5 years they do anything they want. until reelection.
apparently this 5 year duration is way too long. its like interim dictatorship. citizens do not matter until after 5 years.
we need to hold elections every year. so that there actually will be democracy.

the reason they are asking here is not to be left as 'a few hundred boys yelling fraud in the streets'.
you still havent understood shit. cant waste more time on you. dabble on your own
