Wait, is this the reason that when I tried to upgrade Firefox "like normal" on ubuntu I couldn't do it without major new package component upgrades? I'm the arctypical nervous newbie, and I went to go get an update, and got back messages that it wouldn't update without other new pieces.
Sorry, I think this holds the seeds of a flawed position.
You phased it softly - you touched on the yearning to escape the crushing mediocrity of life. But as a policy, "all you get is cool rights" is already accepting being the Boiled Frog. Watch what happens if it's a highly undesirable billboard!
Yes, this is also another corrolary of my post. We are creaking at the seams trying to grind out the implications of modern digital law. In some sense, Google could have been in big trouble. However all that needs to happen is someone carves out an exception to the rule and then it's just dandy.
Great reply, and perfectly along the lines I was leading into.
However Karma being a bitch is standard fare for rich types who can then afford to bend the rules of the Matrix. (Reloaded really was more clever than people gave it credit for.)
No, not a quote - it's my example of repurposing punctuation. It's sort of a cross between a quote I expect to eventually come across, but when it does appear it would be buried in some other verbiage, probably even dressier. I do that a lot.
Notice for a moment that the Ny Times requires "Registering Now" to post a comment, yet you posted AC - yet you announced who you are. (Normally AC is the last bastion of unpopular important comments in between the 4 trolls per story.)
In a discussion about an article of effort, teaching, enthusiasm, leadership, etc, I shall ask - why did you choose not to register so you could get your first social recognition? (Mod points, track-notices of replies etc.)
Somewhere in there is 1% of the solution to the problems described by your article.
It would have been hysterical if you'd made a project of game theory, risk matrix rewards, etc to show that his projet would win. Risk/effort grids, the ignorance/malice ethical problem payoff grids, etc.
Well this is interesting. Do we like the track record of judges, or will they all file in East Texas where "a big corp clearly has better ideas on what to do with an idea that they were (second) to sell"?
"The moral of this story is: if you use IE, then your information is being passed to Microsoft and being used. Even if you go to Google. "
I view this as a much more sinister part of the whole event. Whether or not IE is terrible at displaying pages is amusing, but except at that whole lock-in level, not worrisome. However if IE is actively siphoning off any kind of intelligent data, then it raises specters of worse data snooping breaches.
In a horribly clunky square wheel fashion, it is the best interests of the public. 1. Make terrible policy 2. Outrage threatens political viability 3. Reverse terrible policy *in the best interests of the public*
It's just a pity that the process requires way too much artificially amplified drama. Oh look, drama sells TWO copies of a news media exposure - one for the bad policy, one for the reversal.
I believe you mean the general power of the internet to inform people of breaking news. Facebook is a subset of networked people, and I feel there's trouble there siphoning off the praise for the general internet as support for a specific entity like Facebook. I'll leave it to my betters to quote the fallacy involved, but it is at the heart of all the flaws of marketing.
Except just for you, to show your support for metering, Comcast will charge a dollar a byte past your cap.
The danger of positions like you are recommending is the two parts - A. "I support metering... I don't have any problem with them charging..."
coupled with B. (Low price that I pick, which need not at all be the actual rate). You forgot about the "give an inch, take a parsec" effect going lately. See for example the story of AT&T illegally overbilling usage.
Unfortunately, calculating the interest on a credit card is not basic!
Take a deep breath, here we go!
"Interest" is a fee. "Fees" are also fees. So let's group all the fees. $29 account fee + 0%*(4/12) aka 90 day interest free promo + (17.5%*(1/12)PerMonth compounded for 8 months) - (1% 'cash back' on purchases per actual interest month rolled into the compounding) + UnTouchable Amount that triggers credit score penalty for "too close to limit" as effective hidden fee + %expected risk of penalty rate of 23% for missing payment +%expected risk for credit limit reduction on OTHER cards at the same bank because of a late payment on the card...
Why bother. Just know they're evil, and save like hell to pay it off.
It's potentially quite useful, if we ever got the legislative backing behind it. If I have Do Not Track enabled, and some advertiser grabbed a session, including the do-not-track tag, then a nice crispy penalty should apply. Per page click.
At the very least, Google on Slashdot should obey it. FF4 Beta / unknown others seems to crawl waiting for ssl.google-analytics.com.
Left alone, Google risks devs doing synergistic comparison studies and choosing iOS. However, if a big source of funding really amps up some quality apps, Android could kick into a new phase.
However, once again the wording of the topic seems a little odd. Why shouldn't the maker of a platform... pay for some devs to write for it!? Isn't that covered in 80's biz school textbooks?

Hello Amy.

Oh wait, we learned that copyright vio gets cheaper in bulk.

I agree there is something way too hollow about this 'article'. Time to reverse that old adage. Now it's "never mistake malice for simple error".
