If this is true and the article is accurate the Chrome OS will fail spectacularly. Why? because people will whine about vulnerability they won't tolerate uselessness. The tweekers, buzzers and the tinkers are generally the people who the product first. While windows is incredibly vulnerable, it is far more flexible than an apple system. We need to move away from the apple system not hijack it and make it better.
The problem is really economic. If google says to third parties you can't lock it at all . You can brand and insert your crap but thats it, no one will support it and it dies. If Mlts quote"I can see third party ChromeOS device vendors not just kernel signing, efuses, or autoreinstalls, but doing one or more of the following: 1: Keeping a manifest of all executable and having a process (kernel or user space) that kills with a -9 anything whose name, inode, and path isn't in on the guest list.
2: Throwing a hardware switch to brick the device (true bricking, as in blowing out sections of the BIOS chips) if the OS thinks its tampered with."
Then no one will buy it from any third party and it will go the way of the kin.
We need a OS that is secure as well as flexible. One that allows people it install crap but doesn't allow that crap to modify the core. Sadly That probably won't happen.
I agree with one provision. If I pay for say 30gbs of bandwidth and 15gb of upstream, I don't want the provider to say a thing about what the content is. I Either ala carte it with no analysis of what it is or flat rate it and monitor but not both.
That's the biggest part of the problem. Honestly, Poul Anderson's daughter shouldn't be making any money of it. A copyrights on anything should expire at death if the creator doesn't have minor children. Otherwise, she won't need to work she can just live off what he did.
No because Google is still needful. Example, I don't live in Ohio. However, my stories that i am writing the characters do. So I use street view for setting and search for places. I say we need to attack Apple.
But do we want the Supreme Court setting some awful anti-software-patent precedent that will haunt developers down the road? I would perfer them not setting any legislation but tell Canada that their company needs to pay up instead.
There are anemic pop songs performed by anorexic, Auto-tuned(R) teen fashion models? I assumed that they were 20 something actors, former homeless people who now work in the music industry, You Tube prodigies, and industry created talent with the rare talented person thrown in. As for Billie Holiday having nothing to offer, wait long enough. Everything is recycled.
that's why the solution is not buy it to begin with. That is the only solution that truly works. If they don't get their return on their investment its a lesson to others who care only about money that this doesn't work. Cracking locked down objects still says that selling locked down objects is profitable and will continue to be so.
actually adjustment to environment is common and observable. When most shout its just a theory they are talking about the spontaneous appearance of a cell out of non life without intervention. And honestly which is easier to believe: a empty box will one day by itself spontaneous material a kitten or that one day someone will simply drop a kitten into the box.
Problem with that is no one cares about that and those who do are evil. This is the prevailing belief. It is correct? No. However, this has nothing to do with the laziness of lifting a recipe (which isn't a song its a written work) and then crediting it without paying her for it.
Slight problem there. Bible Jesus said give unto Caeser was was his. he was referencing the coin. And the camel through the eye of a needle was a colloquialism there was a actually a part of gate named that. Its was tiny and a unloaded camel could only fit. He was referencing greed. He was actually incredibly independently wealthy because he had to supply the needs for His family (his father Joseph had already died and he was first born son) as well as those of his 12 associates and their families while they walked the countryside and did no work. He wasn't a socialist. he said that the wealthy should help the poor who didnt want to be poor any more. A lot of people then and now want to be poor.
It is illegal. They need a search warrant. And generally the back scatter technology is used in drug and gang cases. There are not vans roaming the streets indiscriminately scanning people. Do they exist? yes. Can they see you naked? yes. Will they? No. Unless you are engaged in illegal activity and police is trying to nail you.
As for the id issue: If we secured the border and dumped the illegals: we would solve both that problem and the unemployment.
Slight problem.If you don't money and live in a forest how do they know you are a citizen? I who live in another part of the world outside the EU could under your suggestion, concieveably fly into Oslo and claim 'i make no money and live in a forest' and as long as I speak Norwegian, I should get it for free?
Anything other than what it is now will kill it. I was there 3 years. there is about 150 people who pay for 95% of its operating costs to the tune of $2400 a year for server fees plus all the conversion into US money. Linden Lab is actually in the black. they make their money in server renting and money exchange. If the company is sold those people WILL leave and Microsoft will get useless tech and a empty landscape (even emptyier than before) They should buy Blue mars anyway. there more up their speed.
Thanks for quoting reasons not to buy them. I honestly don't think they are for sale. I think they were, and then the founder returned and took back over the company. He won't sell it because its his vision.
Slashdot Mirror
Thank you for the text rick roll and be careful or you might convince glee to do the song.
No no no, this is Slashdot.
When Steve Jobs says "HTML5 web apps are all you need," it's naked, leering, monopolistic evil.
When Google VP Sundar Pichai says the same thing, it's for your own good, and the most sensible advance in computing since the GUI was invented.
No its still naked, leering, monopolistic evil. Difference is that JObs will die soon because he is ill and Sundar won't.

And the only way to get child porn movies is to abuse children. Because not all people want to want 3d avatars get it on.

They already did. Its called Google googles. as for the first person shooter: Its duke Nukem forever,

Justice hasn't existed for 110 yrs now. I just want fairness.
But do we want the Supreme Court setting some awful anti-software-patent precedent that will haunt developers down the road? I would perfer them not setting any legislation but tell Canada that their company needs to pay up instead.
Actually, I prefer watching California continue status quo. They are a great object lesson on what not to do.

Is it wrong that part of me is hoping some would-be terrorist puts a bomb inside a screaming baby?
no it isn't

J. R. "Bob" Dobbs doesn't care about Microsoft either.
Rich conservatives since there is a liberal receptor gene. Look out news Corp.

Now "they" will be able to make a drug to counter-act the receptor and cure liberalness. Just what we need, a pharmacated electorate.
That's exactly what I thought. Never thought I would see the day with Micheal Savage was right. http://www.amazon.com/Liberalism-Mental-Disorder-Savage-Solutions/dp/1595550062 Its an actual book by Michael Savage.

I'll make it easy for you. GIMP can't do any 3d work that Photoshop has since cs4. and why would you want to use software whose name means 'crippled'
