your perspective is not shared among the masses. anything that may trigger a heightened response, regardless of language are being modded fb. moreover, it is a convenient way to downmod opinions you dont like.
enough. if you had been, you could see that the future holds 4 major companies in every aspect of computing from software to internet to distribution to gsm holding major control of everything, and deciding what you can and cannot do. it is what internet should NOT have been from the start, and which is fortunately what internet has not actually been. but jobs, in all his profit-making glory and user friendliness, had set the momentum towards that direction, thanks to apple's phenomenal profit success. and media loves him, naturally, because he basically pushed computing in the way media wanted it from the start - that internet be a glorified cable television clone with minimum freedom on user part.
He will never accomplish it. His goal of all software being 100% open source, patent free, and free in every way
i like the sound of that. one has to aim as high as s/he can, in order to achieve the best possible result. that means, we all should follow that example.
There shouldnt be a moderation item like flamebait. In ANY charged subject, there WILL be flaming. that is a given. forcing views to be expressed as if they do not mean what they intend to mean by allowing a moderation item like flamebait, does nothing but to discourage opinion that others may fervently oppose, rightfully, or wrongfully.
walled gardens and cash cowing users is now de facto reality of mobile platforms. moreover, major players are wanting to take this situation out of mobile platforms, and into existing pc-internet platform as well.
In fact, stallman is right - despite he gave some things to computing, steve rather single handedly undid all the gains that were made for user freedom since early 1980s -> and much of that fight was fought by likes of stallman against hostile industries. if anyone has the right to complain about jobs, its stallman.
Thats what i want. i want to participate in financing books from the writers i want in the direction i want. depending on what he is working on, i may give 1 bucks or 100 bucks. that's how it should be.
So you're staying the market incentives aren't aligned for best-possible transit of Internet traffic then?
the myth you call market did not exist post 18th century. the stronger ones control what you call 'market' in effect. that's that. if we make an analogy, whatever cleaning supply you buy, it is manufactured by one of 4 major chemicals manufacturers, regardless of the apparent big label brand you buy. and these decide what will be in your cleaning supply.
if we let it, it will be same for internet.
there can be no incentive for 'good' of anything in an environment stronger can control the weak.
there is no relevance in between flat rate billing and the problem you made out of your ass. net neutrality is needed so that the isps will not be going deciding what their subscribers can see and what they can not.
It is by now an accepted concept, that 'patent war' thing is. And, we are all little bitches caught in the fight in between 4 major companies, regardless of what the size of our small business/outfit is... What we do does not matter zit. the winner takes it all. and we got to this point despite everything that has been done, everything that has been said.
that is like saying mussolini didnt invent dictatorship. yeah he didnt. but he reinstituted and popularized something that should be left in the mists of time.
neither mussolini was the inventor of dictatorship. however what he did has popularized and mainstreamed something that should have been left in the past.

Its java.
You provide the tools s/he asks and access to the information s/he desires, and let his mind roam free.

I remember a time when blizzard wasn't as evil as it is today and you actually were treated like a customer rather then a magpie with a wallet.

Sometimes it is hard to see future harm past present benefits. but, to reiterate :
