We masses were beating each other to oblivion, trying to get a piece of the 'vista performance' !!
just as i was on my way home today, i have seen hundreds of people running over each other, seeking vista performance from local computer stores. thankfully it arrived on time - vista performance through cloud computing with a NEW windows version !!!
thats because you spend your days swapping music to your ipod, arranging your photo album, and doing other 'cool' but trivial things that are the hallmark of 'just works' of mac.
booooooooooooooooo. you can go mad now. all of you.
imagine it succeeds to block to all kiddie porn material on the web in a particular country. what happens ?
local pedophiles turn to domestic resources, feeding a mafia to generate the content in-house for them.
censorship doesnt work. the only way is to catch the culprits, the usual way. and thats one reason why you should NOT censor - is there any other great way to catch pedophiles than monitoring kiddie porn content usage ?
you are still talking about my 'republican ass' in usa. i TOLD you to read the linked post. since you are still thinking that im american, i assume that you didnt read it. therefore i wont bother to read your post. ill save myself the time you saved yourself by not reading what i linked.
let me reply all the drivel you posted there as simple as this :
economic power is what makes the society able to produce the products you enjoy as of now in the quality you experience and numbers you observe.
think of the countries as individuals. as america, you only have as much power to produce as yourself, an individual's walled, nomatter how large it is.
but as entire world, it makes 256 wallets merged, being able to produce a phenomenonal amount of output and quality compared to a single person. trade. simple.
let me tell you what problem you americans have - you are accepting WAY extreme profit margins in every product you buy. something that is sold for $10 somewhere is being sold from $100 in your country. the cost, is the same, because its from the same company. you need to learn to discern quality, demand low price COMPARED to the world averages, and start choosing wisely.
instead you just value and praise wealth, try to 'make it', live a self centered, self absorbed life lacking in foresight. and that leaves your country as a free playground for filthy rich corporations buying laws to secure the right to sell you overpriced stuff. your entire congress & senate is bought.
if we boil this down to earth - if the economy was not global, computers would be only as advanced as pentium mmx as of now. and the internet still wouldnt have made it to public. so you and i wouldnt be talking here tonight.
leave aside being republican, im a liberal in TURKEY. a major trading partner of usa, especially in textiles and manufacturing.
i dont need to tell you that any such protectionist measures as you propose will be met with similar measures against usa in the world. nations are not stupid. they arent gonna let you go protectionist on your internal market, but export to their own internal markets. thats the fact of life, if you give, you have to take. get used to it.
im talking to you from outside, outta the stupid delusions you americans wall yourself with.
there is no isolation in a global world. any step towards isolation, not only lowers the standard of living in a particular country, but also lowers the standards for entire world. observe north korea, ussr and other isolationist regimes that came and passed.
you should start seeing yourself not a u.s. citizen, but a world citizen, and start evaluating your life based on your personal qualifications, and open up to the world personally and seek your fortunes rather than shut yourself down to your country and locale. hint : internet allows you to live IN your locale and work for some company in the opposite corner of the world.
other countries also implement restrictive policies, preventing u.s. firms from exporting overseas, doing business to overseas, upon the naive example you are proposing below:
What they OUGHT TO BE DOING, is saying "Sure, we'll do 'laissez-faire', & allow you to do this, BUT, we will also penalize & tax you for doing it also, taking away your incentive to do so - thus, you'll bring back the jobs to our internal domestic shores, because we'll make outsourcing less profitable for you by us doing so"!
then you will be left to drivel in your own dirt, because you will be limited to only 200 million users in the u.s., since other countries wont let your internet and software firms (even manufacturing firms) doing business with their own market.
get a clue first, then speak about policies. current wealth level of this civilization is the resultant vector of global economy.
the subscribers of an individual isp that is big and large enough is indistinguishable from a sizeable market.
if an isp is let to filter content in its own network, that is no different than letting them a monopoly over that particular market. if you are not in the 'allow' list of that isp, you cant ever access to subscribers on that network as an internet company or content provider.
its against all kinds of international trade agreements and national laws on free trade and competition - noone is allowed to forcibly rule a market - they can only win over a market by offering competitiveness. filtering is NOT competitiveness - its per force.
this alone should prove the hypocrisy of the corporations who dared to allow their names listed on that joke of a foundation...
The Internet will have to remain a 2-way communications medium. It can't function without being so. That's a technical limitation that cannot be overcome.
your side of communication can be reduced to only 'selecting content'. and the content you can select would be the content selection those fucktards in the roster of that crap of a foundation allows.
the record labels' own data showed that cd sales have been declining since the early 90s, AND it also showed that the decline in CD sales in 2000s were LOWER than the decline in 90s. not only that, but when it is also compared to the cassette tape sale trends of before, they show a similar pattern.
therefore there is NO correlation between filesharing, torrenting, piracy or even counterfeit cds and cd sales.
'hey people are downloading albums. it HAS to lower cd sales' -> no such stupidity exists. there are people who buy albums, and there are people who dont. the people who dont buy albums are not going to buy them if there is no file sharing. it was as such back in cassette tape days. you go around the stores, see a lot of albums, you buy only what you are interested. you listen to other albums ONLY when a friend brings them over or copies them over, but you dont go and buy it regardless of what.
it is as this today as it was before. and it wont change.
noone can ever push self-centered agendas in politics honestly. they always package it as something 'good for the people'. let me give you examples of similar ploys throughout history :
all crusades, both muslim's crusade starting in 700AD and christian's crusade starting 1090AD were for 'furthering' their respective religions, leaders said. actually, they were both done for conquest and pillage and colonization.
all the measures that installed caesar as dictator and signed the end of roman republic were done to combat 'corruption' of the senate in the name of people. all it did was to install an emperor. so goes for napoleon.
all the stuff nazis did were done for the 'betterment' of 'high' german nation. all it accomplished was the creation of a ruling party elite class that were no different than tyrant aristocrats.
and now here we are, some bunch of filth again advocating something supposedly for the benefit of public, whereas the intent is clear to anyone who has any technical knowledge, and a little remembrance of past events.
all companies listed there should be treated like sh@t for anyone with the tiniest bit of conscience and wisdom. for, it is a move against freedom and equal opportunity.
why not post with a fucking account instead of AC when expressing your opinion ?
see, i used profanity in this post. and i posted it with my own account and id, despite it is going to be modded down as flamebait.
grow some balls first, then blabber anti net neutrality crap. for that net neutrality thing is the most important thing that has created this internet as a second world as it is.

We need a "Scrubs level funny +1" mod for that.
and a piece of my sanity at "fun times" in "That means about 158 "fun times" to fill the vat." ...
and my thick stick. i'll fix something that should be fixed long ago by society.

A windows version running a cloud computing network would give us all the opportunities we need to examine black holes.
While we're at it, we can examine the rips in space/time continuum too.

I have 4 gigs of ram on an intel iMac
thats because you spend your days swapping music to your ipod, arranging your photo album, and doing other 'cool' but trivial things that are the hallmark of 'just works' of mac.
booooooooooooooooo. you can go mad now. all of you.
we need to make it sure that it doesnt happen.
Wireless networks, or New generation mobile networks. If you load the 'tube' onto radio waves, you are off the hook for good.
yea yea you got me figured out there yea.
we need your offshore jobs SO badly that we do stuff with republican cronies and shit. and whatnot.
yea. and then some more.
You should have titled it properly. For, these boys have gone to great lengths to make their metal affiliation clear without a doubt.
but youll soon discover that sufficiently advanced freelancing is indistinguishable from a regular job.
go elance rentacoder scriptlance, whatever you can find. elance is slightly more decent.

did they set up an organization or something ? already buying out lawmakers ? where do i donate ?
im serious. there is no other way that people's will can be legislated, in current u.s. legal system. you have to BUY the laws.
so tell me where do we donate. dont say EFF, im already donating there.
