I am so tired of hearing that copout. Does the submitter know for a fact that ThePlanet did everything it could to keep its power system from exploding? I don't have any evidence one way or the other, but if they're anything like other independent data center operators, it's pretty unlikely. they arent anything like the other independent data center operators. they are world's biggest independent dc operator.
McCarthyism? This isn't a troll hunt for Communists, this is about how this country was founded.
excuse me, if you are blurting out that sentence, i have to be blunt - you dont know shit about history.
who founded your country were members of sons of liberty, which is actually a broad general public understanding of the principles that were invented in enlightenment france and refined in later 18th century. benjamin, paine, jefferson - the ideological leaders of that generation were totally into french enlightenment ideals. paine later went on to become a member of french parliament, after he was honored with french citizenship after french revolution.
now comes the punchline - what you despise here, what you term as 'socialist' here, are the VERY ideals of french revolution, which are based on late 18th century french enlightenment ideals, which are in turn also the basis for american revolution.
im turkish, born and raised here, even never left the country, heck, i traveled to only 4 other turkish cities than antalya, yet i know more about your country's history than you. thats just absurd.
Just look at hurricane Katrina. Thousands flocked to the Superdome to be saved by Nanny Government, and chaos ensued when nothing was available. None of those people took stock in themselves saying "maybe I should have taken care of myself and mine". Instead, they got put up in hotels and given debit cards, months later still in those hotels demanding more instead of pulling themselves up and marching on.
you are talking about exploitation here. you dont stop exploitation by totally destroying/removing the services that are exploited. with your logic, we should totally remove justice system from public life, because it is being widely exploited too, especially in u.s. ridiculous lawsuits, companies trying to clamp down on competition through frivolous claims, name your pick.
you stop exploitation by bettering the system that is being exploited. that is the way human civilization evolved since last 10.000 years, and thats the way that is going to be.
Politics are corrupt. The more complex the system gets, the more corruption and opacity reigns. Obama is just as corrupt as Hillary who is just as corrupt as McCain. It will be business as usual in Washington whoever takes the stand just as the Democrats took over congress and as Pelosi took the helm surrounded by children saying (and I quote) "do it for the children".
politics are corrupt, because you people let it to be so, there in u.s.. politics were much more corrupt, actually a few corporations were also owning everything in u.s. little short of owning individual citizens' butts, at the onset of 20th century. theodore roosevelt came, and set it right. actually we have based many of today's anti trust, pro competition practices based upon what him and his administration implemented. f.d. roosevelt took your country out of depression, without extensive suffering that other nations had to endure. that big a country, that big a depression, a major feat.
then you people glow complacent and then fell for the scaremongering of mccartyism era. what happened ? big buck corps were increasingly able to turn u.s. political scene into a big buck playground, eventually culminating in the unbelievably long republican era of 80s up to date, with a brief stint with the clinton era.
what did you expect ? of course some democrats turned their backs on people too. if you let an environment in which big buck can buy a senator/president and assure his/her election happen, then there will be changes everywhere.
internet only has been able to change this. obama campaign made its money through $5 donations from NORMAL people. they didnt have to go to big buck people and sell their butt in order to get donation money. excuse me - sorry - hillary did. but she was not successful. and then she suddenly remembered 'the people' and put up a
its not the 'no name' hosting resellers who host at the planet. no name resellers do not employ an entire server, they just use whm reseller panel that is being handed out by a company which hosts servers there.
just had to make a site compatible with ie6, ie7 and firefox. please, NOT another browser version that soon. as a developer this is not appeasing me at all, its irritating me.
The Democrats will remove your freedoms by forcing on you what they think is good for you, by taking away your means to protect you and your families, by forcing your diets and lifestyles. They will continue to push social spending (which is about 2/3 of our national budget). what you term as 'removing your freedoms' have caused such a level of liberty and welfare in northern european countries is that, the biggest issue of danish youth is 'unfair decisions that soccer game referees hand out in national soccer league'. they have even caused a riot over it, last year.
please drop the mccarthyism shit that has plagued your nation for the last 50 years.
balance needs to be pursued in EVERYTHING in life. if you let big corporations go unchecked like you did in u.s. for the last 50 years, they go haywire like they are doing there. trying to scuttle internet like at&t and bell do, kill small businesses, sell tools and weapons to oppressive regimes, buy out senators, every kind of shit.
if balance is way distorted towards the government in cuban socialism, its way distorted towards megacorporation enslavement in america. you are on the other end of balance spectrum.
apparently you are one of the zygotes that prefer to allow big buck corporations like enron, at&t, time warner OWN entire country and its people under the guise of 'free market'. in california some started to even BRAND people with rfid chips, until ca senate has banned it.
please, spare me that shit mccarthyism and brainwashed republicanism rant.
for example it is believed that the Sphinx is built at the time of the great pyramid. yet, recently a climatologist and a geologist have found evidence that sphinx had experienced erosion in its base that is almost identical to what buildings experience during rainfloods that happen in tropical rainforest zones. the only time that it could happen was when egypt (that zone) was in tropical rainforest belt, which is a time period that dates back to around 10.000 bc or so. this, of course, has been staunchly opposed by settled opinion in egyptology. however the evidence is there, and its undeniable. therefore science community is just choosing to ignore that exists, and not talk about it.
Also in today's news, Bell's Canada spokesman Bibic said that internet congestion is a real problem and claims that the throttling had nothing to do with [b]Bell's new video service[/b].
and i have to 'offtopicly' sympathize, since there has been cases of web sites being taken down in turkey by court order because they have criticized microsoft just like how it is done here i slashdot. valid criticism.
yea, our generation. this guy is practically 10 years older than me. and many years younger than many of you here.
despite im 33 years old and many of you are over 40, and many of you below 25 even, we belong to a single generation - information age generation. this super generation is people who got influenced with the advent of information technology, from 60s and on. at those decades, the impact was limited to whomever worked in the i.t. field. but with the spread of the ibm personal computer compatibles, it reached a broader segment of the society (and internationally too) and with the internet it reached the masses. however, up to this point, the world has been ruled by representatives who had little to do with those changes. either because they are too old, and information revolution did not affect them (because they werent in field of i.t. in 60s and on) or because they were much older, derelict of cold war era.
clinton is an example of the former - despite she was young at the onset of 60s and 70s, the real start of this information revolution, she had nothing to do with i.t., wasnt working in an i.t. field, and henceforth remained out of these changes.
im not even talking about mccain.
obama is different. he is young enough to have lived his youth at the time when information revolution was reaching masses, and he had enough exposure to i.t. (and very probably to open source ideals) during his time working in community service.
he is an example of how the future will be. as the older generation of (i say dinosaurs) phase out, this new generation - practically 'our' generation, because internet causing people to do everything together regardless of nation and location - is going to take over the world step by step. rightly so, because that is the nature of life.
and things will change. see this difference in approach in between those 2 candidates (one seeking lamp developer, not even asking a college degree, and hosting their stuff on lamp servers, the other is going all old big buck style, hosting their stuff on microsoft iis) signifies the difference in understanding in between them.
change will come faster in europe, because europe did not experience mccarthyism of america, that killed the potential change a few generations would be able to bring in 50s and 60s. therefore the transition there is smoother, because there didnt happen a lost generation that was not able to take positions of government, power due to scaremongering.
in u.s. it will be a bit harder. because mccarthyism scaremongering in between 50-60s caused that period to be one of stale progress up until the end of 60s. big corporations are going to fight back in u.s., whereas in europe they are already kept in check with Eu institutions.
im turkish, i live in turkey, irrelevant to many stuff that is happening in u.s., and im an obama supporter. that is because he is one of the spearheads of our broad information-age/new generation to bring change, regardless of where that change happens, we all should support each other.
this 'burial' theory just ignores the fact that rulers, ruling families, especially the first family of any new kingdom/dynasty etc, had the habit of claiming long standing monuments, legends, traditions as their own, and claiming they were the first, and even order distortion of existing records (if there is any) to that extent.
this can happen and take unbelievable forms even in civilizations that had long standing history, like egypt. it is too common for pharaohs to deface all mentions of previous pharaohs from even temple hieroglyphs, have scribes rewrite the records.
one of the most curious examples is the great pyramid. despite it is supposedly the 3rd true pyramid that is built, and it should have all kinds of glyphs, wall art, statues and carvings to nail the legacy of Khufu at every step inside the pyramid, there are NO mentions of khufu's name everywhere but on a small wall glyph (that contains only his name) over where his casket is placed. the king chamber is also curious, it has no kind of wall art, carvings or anything of the sort. this creates a contrast to long standing egypt tradition (even at that date) of adorning every bit of the burial site with all kinds of art and wall carvings and glyphs.
no sir. experience of mankind through history states that this new find didnt solve any mystery in regard to past of stonehenge.
i just love how people hold google responsible with standards that they do not hold any other company, or even country, responsible with.
'complying with censorship in totalitarian regimes' - jesus - many long standing companies are actually SUPPLYING those totalitarian regimes with the tools to conduct their repression for 50 years and more. almost all big companies have been doing business in many such repressive regimes. even building prisons on contract for them.
in addition, those companies do not act in the interest of the people and the consumers where they can either. at&t for example, still tries to totally kill the internet by removing net neutrality, comcast throttles traffic ILLEGALLY for its own ends without even fearing laws in its homeland.
google at least does not screw people over anywhere it can. if you put google's 'vice' against the mountainous heap of shit that i described above, it doesnt even get noticed.
did they EVER think about what the reaction to this stupid move might be in the underground scene ? hm ? a stupid shill company dosing some cultural element (p2p) that belongs mainly to underground culture. do i need to remind you, that underground crowd houses many elements that can take down, hack into, play with cia, nsa, whatever-big-agency sites, servers, services ?
"heeeeey ruby" "heeeeey ruby on rails" "heeeeeey web 2.0" and other similar stuff....
in the last 2 years all those stampede was being made in/. for those 'new cool up and coming' languages and stuff, i have been churning out a lot of estores, service and small business sites that used php/mysql as foundation. directly php that is, nothing that has 'development libraries', or 'framework' or anything else. oscommerce, vbulletin, nuke and phpbb versions.
the importance of that is, people use these stuff to run their business. and they are happy with it. they are cheap, they are easy to use, they are easy to get, easy and cheap to find developers for, easy for everything, all at once. all these factors come into play for their choice. eventually one or two people come up with requests for development on some nifty up-and-coming 'framework' 'script' or 'platform', but in 1-2 months' time i find them coming back again, this time for migrating their 'up-and-coming' framework store to oscommerce. oscommerce, for example is like microsoft windows now, established, widely used, strong base, strong community, developers, everything and whatnot.
let me tell you, they do not know anything about ruby. they dont know about web 2.0. all they want and need is to have something to run their business on. they dont care about the 'amenities' jumping to another framework will bring them either. they want reliably well established and well known stuff.
the thing is, regardless how much we programmers, developers rant and rave and get excited about 'new' stuff here, praise them or shun them, the market's choice dictates what is going to stay and what is not. and from what i see, market doesnt even know, or even care about ruby, or web 2.0, or any other nifty thing we have been discussing here. they want fast, cheap, reliable, well known and thats that. the only exception is big buck corps, but then again they can afford anything.
I wonder if many companies will be perfectly happy to rent software as if it were some kind of service using some kind of centralized checkout system to wash their hands of hosting a page almost entirely and care for little other than CSS based branding. no they wouldnt. when you start accepting credit card and confidential information from clients, you become wary of privacy issues. locking in oneself to 3rd party services is a total no no. recently microsoft suddenly ceased its bcentral service. this service was a 3rd party estore service, in which you created a store and parked a domain on top of it and then ran the store from their location with their particular db. i had to bail out a client from this fallout. its not nice. you have to translate customer db, 3000+ products, orders, and whatnot to other formats. what did those who werent able to jump ship at the 1 month notice they gave do, god knows.
no you cant trust your business to 3rd party apps.
