'investors' unrelated to the field buys companies, as this is about money they try to push the company to the extremes to reap off max profit, and when they got enough profit in short time duration in expense of making the company go bust, they sell it and jump to another company.
'buyouts', 'mergers', 'acquisitions' should be banned from business world. All corporations have to go instutitional, in which noone can control 51% share, but a wide board and ceo that are chosen by majority stockholder vote rules the company.
in turkey, the national, single backbone provider is asshole. actually it is owned by an asshole that lives in germany, despite being turkish. he robs turkish people to pay for the installments of the sum he bought turkish telekom from the government for.
even assholes like you describe are in a fit here in turkey. because all have to use the single backbone. at least, when you get out of school, you are able to choose your provider.
- thats no joke - it actually is so - the single monopoly backbone provider (turkish telecom) has recently oversold adsl packages, and our download speeds are cut to 1/3 or so, with horrible 500 ms ping latency to europe. Yet, we still pay the same fee. If you go for a refund here in turkey, you get beaten and thrown out. Companies refunding customers is something that is not this country is accustomed to.
i dont see whats the problem here ? let the goddam telcos upgrade the backbone.
there were NO problems when they were reaping phenomenonal profits while overselling their lines ? They saw that there was nothing on the internet to cause a client to use their allotted 1 Mbit bandwidth to the fullest, people used only 10% or so of the bandwidth, so they oversold like hell.
So it is a problem now when they will need to invest some of the easy earned overselling cash back into the backbone eh ?
Nay sire, let them put some of the sweet bucks they made back into the game. MAKE them invest to upgrade the backbone.
Both your algorithms work until a more oppressive/aggressive party/individual gains power. Then they immediately turn to something another. If oppressive/aggressive parties/individuals are already in power when the program is first executed, it gets an immediate Zero day exploit :
1. $PRESIDENT and $EXECUTIVE_BRANCH_POLITICIANS say "Terrorist threat is continually on the rise"/* $PRESIDENT and $EXECUTIVE_BRANCH_POLITICIANS doing anything about terrorist attack does not matter, as it is commented out. Its just for novelty */
2. $PRESIDENT and $EXECUTIVE_BRANCH_POLITICIANS take more 'measures' that increasingly wrest power to their parties, curiously this always benefits their supporters to the extreme.
3. Terrorist attack happens OR Terrorist attack doesnt happen
4. People now CANT howl that $PRESIDENT and $EXECUTIVE_BRANCH_POLITICIANS only want to take away people's rights and institute fascism, because this counts as spreading dissidence and supporting terrorism.
5. This program is no longer necessary or relevant. This program will SERF-terminate immediately.
Technically and legally, if you are based in the same country/state that has the law preventing children from going to social sites from school, you should not do this. You would be legally responsible.
If you are not, then it is a moral decision.
If you ask me, preventing children from reaching social sites from public places is outright oppression - its just over-scared parents going overboard in 'protecting' children by hampering their use of new technology and social changes.
But HOW ever are they DARE going to sue any linux vendor in europe, where european union's varius agencies and various eu member governmental departments are already migrating to linux, and same europe where they have been bashed for bundled media player case and fined to hell ?
Steve Balmer has apparently lost a measure of connection to reality.
We are using open source stuff, on open source linux. Come sue us, so we can raise hell.
for that, whereas, as they say, a 'worldwide battle against terrorism' is going on at the same time ?
Very curious that, one important government agency can spare resources to spend for a PRIVATE organisation's whims, whereas there are army units deployed in iraq, afghanistan, pakistan is battling a lot of internation terrorist organisations trying to get roots in there, and terrorists are constantly trying to sneak into major western countries ?
Either they are screwing us over terrorist threat level, or they are screwing us over our taxes.
if/when piracy goes away, the 'hurt tax' will stay. This is why people pirate - against greater piracy. Its a ever-standing rule that self serving behaviour is met with self serving behaviour.
you forgot to mention that he coincided with internet's discovery and appointed a liberal on its regulatory board, and allowed it to progress freely and expansively making it what we know today. if reps were there back then, internet would be a corporate tool. now, here we are, together, free...
if this is not a 'difference' by your standards, i wonder what is.
Islam is particularly not a religion that says 'turn them your other cheek' - it actually encourages retaliation against 'the infidel'. 'infidel', 'against the religion' concepts are broad, and can be reevaluated to suit anyone's wish.
hence, whereas christians wont be attacking the site, trying to ban the site in sweden, argentina, russia or anywhere, it cant be said for the muslims, especially those in arab countries. even so that the guy himself would easily be the target of attempts on his own life, if only some sheikh (curious concept, as islam does not allow priest class) showed him as a target with a 'fetva'.
it seems that youtube is covering itself from islamic intolerance, something which we experienced with the denmark cartoon event.
in middle east, and immediate nearby islamic countries, for over 50 years now, unlimited number of varied publications, some even with the hand of government, are condemning, villifying, demeaning, insulting west, western countries, their prominent contemporary and historical figures, demeaning christianity, jews, buddhism, anything you can think of that are not islam, and even insulting. they have all been doing that, or allowing that. however when not even the same thing, a much lesser offense is done in a western country, it suddenly became a scandal.
10 years ago, maybe. actually the fundamentals are too well documented in the web now. and better yet, some of those have visual material - something which you can use over and over again to get the grip of it. and dont forget forums. its like a never ending class.
unfortunately in your points you are missing the fact that the biggest existing university is internet itself.
there are few universities in the world that can give the practical, industry oriented education that the field requires. being from scholastic church roots, university instutition is something that cares not much about the practicality of teachings. you learn, learn lots. as one of our deans said in our orientation in the first branch class, "you will remember only 2-3% of what you have learnt here, and only a percentage of them will be usable in the field. yet, what matters and what you are here for is getting the engineering mindset"
you scarcely need to have even that on the internet. the 'life' in it forces you and teaches you the mindset neccessary to solve problems, and on-the-fly too.
in turkey, there are actually families in which, despite they are going to the same place from their home for the same appointment, father, mother and daughter can use their seperate cars, go to the appointment (3 km away, and easily reachable by seaside-going tram), park their cars, attend the appointment, then go to their cars, come back to their home, park their cars and get in their home.
this is one of the extreme examples, but you get the idea.
actually the reason i am attacking idea of moonbase at this point in our civilizational development is described in your last paragraph. we have so many issues that are directly solveable by investing the money in incomparably easier means in earth than investing in moon that, going to set up something on the moon for people to live in is just plain waste.

The swedish i know would raise hell because of that issue, its crooked perpetrators, anyone who participated and related government agencies.
There are no news around to that extent yet. We are waiting to see some swedish democracy in action.

anything about space and/or moon is MORE politicisized than anything on earth.
labeling something 'miniscule' does not make it miniscule. noone, not even nasa denies the amount of money needed for anything related to moon.
in turkey, there are actually families in which, despite they are going to the same place from their home for the same appointment, father, mother and daughter can use their seperate cars, go to the appointment (3 km away, and easily reachable by seaside-going tram), park their cars, attend the appointment, then go to their cars, come back to their home, park their cars and get in their home.
