we are not excusing ourselves as people, and not doing anything that the current law would shun as criminal, but those people whom you speak about are doing all the inexcusable criminal acts as government contractors, and getting away with it. this ranges from torture to censorship.
no. there is a certain point of assness at which things can be excused.
...is to allow the private entities which own the servers, networks, technology, and businesses to manage it themselves.
yes. so at&t can cut off all access to wikileaks, just like how amazon did with its cloud.
amazon also had an obligation to ensure the functional operation and security of their systems. yet they didnt see any problem in censoring a customer, when it was not to their liking.
had it been in the moronic, ayn rand believer way you wanted, at&t, comcast would ensure that no american saw any wikileaks document, thanks to the pressure the banks would put on them.
private does not mean 'good', or 'free'. private means, something is owned by a group of PRIVATE bunch, with no obligations to your freedom, but to their profit.
commenting without reading the summary or understanding another's post, let alone the article, and reacting like a moron out of ignorance, should be illegal.
this was what you have done. those units, will be only as good as bricks.
actually, one of the reasons why the code in my signature has come to being, is because i had had the misfortune of using drupal for a client. one good thing that came out of it, was that.
with few exceptions, mergers/acquisitions, this kind of financier shit, has always ruined whatever i held dear as products/services. this was also so in the field of i.t..
if amd gets sold to anyone, i will start looking for an alternative that did not whore itself out to rabid bloodsuckers, but still run by their initial founders and vision holders.
yes. people like me are the ones who have raped mexico gulf, amazon forest, frauded countries.... indeed we are truly deserving of death. not the morons who keep going at the same hand that feeds them make believe...
yes yes. EVERY kind of thing that corporations or 'rights holders' do, have an excuse, a justification, and rationalization.
the one who is not being rather bright is not me, but the one who had missed that the post he replied to, addresses that very fact - that there being a rationalization, justification for something, does not excuse that action.
you can lie, you can deceive, you can screw customers, you can fraud, you can scam, but still in the end you can come up right, because they are allowed in the system - you just need to arrange your ToSes, legal clauses properly, and have a good legal team that the unwashed masses wont be able to buy.
it hasnt been a month or so since the last article about drupal was posted here. and now this. in retrospect, i dont even remember the time at which something relating to some other bloated (or better) 'cms' system was posted in slashdot.
why ?
is there a connection in between someone at slashdot and drupal ? why the free advertising for a bloated, developer-hostile heap of code, in a place where developers frequent ?
firstly communism is not an 'end' for freedom. its just communal ownership and planning of goods. you, as a citizen, have less say in what to do with your country's resources in a capitalist system than you have in communism.
secondly, no. freedom to end freedom, cannot be a freedom. its a contradiction. then, freedom to prevent ending of freedoms would also be a freedom.
They don't want to stop others being mixed. Provided they don't enforce it on me, I'm happy for them to have the opportunity to avoid people of the opposite gender if they so wish.
for now. had you lived in a muslim majority country, you would know that it doesnt stop there.
the thing is, women doesnt 'see' it as liberation. they are brainwashed to think it as 'good'. its no different than hitlerjugend being brainwashed into nazizm.
yet, appallingly, we are condoning and encouraging such a situation, as 'freedom'.
let me tell you what the big deal is, as someone who is living in a muslim majority country - after a certain point, they will start to make demands that others 'respect' their religion properly. which will entail you, as an outsider, sticking with their idea of respect as it is present in their language. you wont criticize anything regarding their religion, wont talk negatively about their prophet, their ways and so on. after a certain point, they will want that their ways be the dominant rule, law. and those not compliant with their ways, should be treated as outsiders, minority, and have 'minority rights' in limited conditions. after a certain point, everyone is demanded to stick by their rules. because, they are divine.
"good stuff" being expensive, 200-500 dollar, contract tied, locked-in, customer-screwing 'phones'. which do WAY too many things to be called a 'phone'.
i use a very simple nokia phone. i use it to - you guessed it right - actually phone and talk to people. and, i bought it for $80 or so. there were even cheaper ones. my phone is not contract tied, it is not locked in, anything. i can get it fitted with 2 sim cards if i want, in a local shop somewhere. noone is going to sue me for it.
americans are focusing way too much on their own culture. that is why i think some ceo is able to make a recommendation to a european company to sell the hugely expensive shit they are perpetrating to mesmerized fans. its as if they think the entire world consists of, can be exampled from a 300 million country.
apples cant get any market share for example, in japan. in japan, you cannot sell a phone that cannot show tv channels on the go, from airwaves. in a lot of developing countries, cheap phones are preferred to - you guessed it right - call and talk to people.
i have my laptop or netbook or tablet or pc for anything else. i dont need my phone to be smart and, do things that are not meant to be done on a tiny phone screen. (largest phone is still tiny compared to even a small tablet).
i dont think any company should take advice from apple, a company which thrives more with fandom, expensive prices, and locking-in its customers to the point of schizophrenically controlling them. the world market is measured with billions, and it has a lot of different needs and segments. you cant peddle $400+ overpriced shiny toys to all of it.
In fact, many of SIIA's sources report that their primary reason for leaving the target company was the company's lack of ethical behavior related to software compliance.
so they say then eh.... rather, they got fired, laid off, or quit/changed jobs and decided to make a quick buck or to take revenge.
microsoft. there is a record of this recurring in the past 3 decades, yet, corporations and boards keep making that mistake over and over. one wonders why...

bleh and bleh.

its rare to see people put rather muddy concepts into words as clearly as this.

this was what you have done. those units, will be only as good as bricks.
doesnt matter how it was written in tos. doesnt matter whether the customer agreed to it.
destroying a product that you sold to a customer, is illegal. this shit is going on because we are letting them on with this.
better is enough for now. noone expects 'ideal' from this societal civilization.
majority of the world is still buying those 'dumphones' you speak of, and have no problem with them.

in a capitalist system ? why the surprise ?
it hasnt been a month or so since the last article about drupal was posted here. and now this. in retrospect, i dont even remember the time at which something relating to some other bloated (or better) 'cms' system was posted in slashdot.

i second that too. even, third that.
firstly communism is not an 'end' for freedom. its just communal ownership and planning of goods. you, as a citizen, have less say in what to do with your country's resources in a capitalist system than you have in communism.

Freedom to end freedom and equality, cannot be a freedom.
