'the people' has many subdivisions. one of which is underground. one of which is blogosphere. one of which is apple fans. one of which is gnu people. these groups overlap.
the people doesnt mean only ma & pa shops or average joe in idaho. the people means everyone.
any of the groups that i mentioned first, save one, can wreak havoc for online presence of a company. one of them can wreak havoc on any software related to that company. if companies do not care, they should start learning to care right now.
exactly. not only that, but if s/he has the chance of making $100 m right away today and running away with it, s/he will want to be able to make $100 m a day if s/he can in future and will proceed in that direction. DESPITE that it may be a nigh on impossible chance, s/he will believe that s/he will pull it off.
english language needs a non-gender 3rd person pronoun like the other languages dammit.
the people decides what should be done and what should not. individuals' or groups' perceptions on anything does not matter. that's a reality of society. whether you like it or not. it was like that throughout history, and it will be like that in the future.
Economy and business are social aspects of life. In ANY social aspect of life, there happens to be exploiters, scammers, bastards, evildoers, crooks, idiots, morons, criminals, every type of person who would harm others AND THE SYSTEM even at the cost of breaking down the system entirely. AND they wouldnt care.
just as you need a criminal law and justice system to ensure your neighborhood doesnt become wild west, you also need laws, rules and regulations for EVERY social aspect of life, INCLUDING BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, so that you can minimize scam, fraud, exploitation and the chances of system breaking down.
we are in knee deep shit today, but, as he himself put it, alan greenspan was not able to understand that there is a human factor in economics too. 'i dont understand why corporations didnt regulate themselves'. he said. CROOKERY, GREED, BASTARDINESS, IRRESPONSIBILITY. WHAT you were not able to understand, that ceos, executives and board members were humans too ?
and here we are in a global depression. and we have madoff. stanford. god knows how many more.
this example should always be in your mind. you need rules and laws and regulations stemming from them so that the concept of a free market CAN ACTUALLY EXIST.
do these people ever think, what will the public perception about their own products, website, whatever software they produced and will produce in future, be in the underground scene ? after they do this stunt ?
i mean, this is basically like raising a flag saying 'im an enemy of open source, come, get me'. EVEN if you are not.
underground scene doesnt hesitate from taking down fbi, cia, nasa, whatever web sites, and they produce a lot more viruses, trojans to hamper the companies perceived as 'evil'.
this even plagues microsoft. what will such a perception do to a small software company which does not have the resources to cope up with such setbacks ?
very stupid move in my opinion. internet is made of people. and people decide what's good or what's bad. if they decide that you are bad or evil, you are in deep trouble.
noone can fight 'the people'. regardless of what laws or rules of ethics or whatever philosophy says. you put out laws, if people think they are unfair or invalid, they dont obey them. you shell out punishments, yet they still disobey them. you say something is unethical or immoral, but people still do them. the people define what's moral, what's immoral, what's to do and what's not to do. you cant fight that.
as if any message that had been sent to any parties in the preceding 50 years accomplished anything...
you still have madoffs, cheneys, that rotten republican appointed DOJ woman that screened FIFTY applicants in regard to their views on abortion, bush, freedom of speech etc BY MISTAKE (she says so) by using special software specifically built for that task, nixon, well. you keep counting.
'clear message' hahahaa. clear messages do not work. VIGILANCE does. you, as citizen, have to be always vigilant and in defense of your rights and your liberties'.
when we told of such things and the shady connection in between diebold's parent corporations and cheney and his position as a CEO, we were dubbed 'conspiracy junkies'. guess it wasnt us, who was the junk.
by people who apparently dont know zit about what they are comparing. i like neither joomla, or wordpress, but i am a web developer by profession and mess with both occasionally. let me wrap it up :
joomla is basically a content management system that seeks to allow for many different functions through many different modules you can install. issues and problems are BOUND to happen, for you are installing many different modules coded by different people. it also has very diverse modules made for very diverse purposes other than just basically publishing articles.
wordpress is a codebase based on a BLOG first, and everything later. its capabilities are more limited than joomla is, because its initial goal and vision was narrower. therefore it can be made and is made simple to use. it also has less diverse modules performing less diverse spectrum of tasks.
therefore its kinda like comparing a family van to a utility truck. with one of them you can do the same thing you can do with the other one, but both are efficient in different areas.
france has been overly islamicized to the point of having islamic ghettos in which regular frenchmen, even police hesitate to set foot upon. much like how turkey has become.
it is just one step from here to a fascist regime. every kind of laws that violate magna carta has been implemented. british public did nothing. i cant believe my eyes.
but if those odds of success were AT ALL any good, microsoft would have a better search by now than the shit they had for aeons. they dont. they didnt improve. i dont see the trend changing.
you dont need to have a 'product' on drawing board to make money. most of the internet businesses sell SERVICES, ADS and etc and make profit. all yahoo needs to do is to become profitable and earn money. not be 'innovative' and create products etc.
this is the STUPIDEST thing i have EVER heard in my life. god. i never thought that i would use this word in its real meaning, this bluntly. until now it was always some ironical, satirical, metaphorical usage. for the first time maybe in my slashdot membership, im calling someone and some idea, bluntly, stupid. unbelievable.
people who are actively involved in open source projects are ones who can show many strong portfolio items whichever job they apply. they would probably get preference because of solid examples of prior work, and in some cases, name recognition. i dont think they will be out of job for too long. lower wages maybe, but dont think so.
AND in any case, there is elance etc, where they can do freelancing easily, with the help of same strong resume.

something and then talk back to us.

same goes for internet. maybe more so.
REGULATION = RULES AND LAWS to ensure laws that there happens a FREE MARKET.
deregulation = madoff, stanford, AIG, Merril Lynch et al

you know its a good idea
.net was a wonderful platform adopted by everyone. and flash was the driving force behind web.
in an alternate reality perhaps.

Blind, uninformed apple criticism gets modded troll.
my experience is that any kind of apple criticism gets modded troll regardless of the criticism's informedness standing.

it is the first document known in history that documents the rights of people against the government, be the people nobles, be the government king.
france has been overly islamicized to the point of having islamic ghettos in which regular frenchmen, even police hesitate to set foot upon. much like how turkey has become.
best bet would be u.s. or canada.
and it will live forever.

all they are doing is trying to increase the market value of their company before getting bought up.
microsoft is there. this time, through silverlight.
meaning.
STUPID.
STUPID
this is the STUPIDEST thing i have EVER heard in my life. god. i never thought that i would use this word in its real meaning, this bluntly. until now it was always some ironical, satirical, metaphorical usage. for the first time maybe in my slashdot membership, im calling someone and some idea, bluntly, stupid. unbelievable.
anyone with a little common sense would have done it by now. if you cant run it due to lack of funds, thousands of people can run it by collaborating.
people who are actively involved in open source projects are ones who can show many strong portfolio items whichever job they apply. they would probably get preference because of solid examples of prior work, and in some cases, name recognition. i dont think they will be out of job for too long. lower wages maybe, but dont think so.

too bad i spent all my points 2 days ago
who is STUPID enough to mod something that is valid for EVERY product & service since the dawn of trade on this planet ?
keep your fanboyism locked up your butt. use your logic and reason while spending mod points.
