basic human rights now require corporate firepower. i suppose its been effective up till now with foreign visas, daylight savings time, internet law to seek corporate masters though. maybe this will work too?

ive noticed when i preface my technical explanation with the words 'service oriented architecture' i am immediately rewarded with funding approval.
the only zen in this is that neither of us understands entirely why this works.
licensing rights are cheaper than original storylines as most motion picture groups collude to absorb profit loss in an economic recession through 'baseball card trading' of reserved rights to media. they arent as cheap as a sequel franchise, but we're close and the returns are greater. this is a simple business transaction thats been mistaken for a creative work. a manager with a business objects interface to the sales tables in a MPAA database somewhere has determined a certain interest point/pricepoint for this concept has been reached. people like Cowboy Bebop, and its future trend is negative enough that damage to the core brand is irrelevant. cost benefit analysis has been instigated and the numbers state clearly 'we should do this'
do not expect anything more than references to jokes you've seen before, controlled and comfortable moves in the storyline, and occasional current events punctuation to increase relateability to the noncore audience cajoled into seeing the movie by an 'avid fan'
if this were a creative work, you'd see far more japanese names in the production and direction list. the flintstones and speedracer should serve as an example.
if a product is bad enough, you have a right as a consumer to seek a refund. now if they had been class-actioned due to the product, or the corporate headquarters had been razed by a swarm of angry customers bent on the flesh of the board of directors, that would be news.
personally i like pc games. i keep an old windows box around for 'em, and i could never get used to the "mystery box" feel most consoles have.
envisioning wallabees with didgery doos, and koalas with boomerangs marching the street...led proudly by a weathered and slightly under-dressed paul hogan.
step aside intel 45 nanometer chipset, cloaking materials, telepathic controllers, and internet technology....its time for an economic recession story from the National Bureau of Economic Research.
you nerds can thank us later after you're done spending your way to patriotastic victory over the stock plunge and housing crisis.
as microsoft is, your only method of competition is cash and discomfort. The internet has always, and will always be something just out of reach for them. for the love of god, dont develop additions to something youve ignored and tried to buy for the last 10 years, it will only fail. Silverlight will never have the dominance flash has, Live search will always suck by comparison to google, and for gods sake MSNs page does everything newscorps fox.com does short of hurl dickpills and ab workouts at me (but the sensationalist fluff prevails the same.)
the only thing microsoft has managed to do with regard to the internet is screw up java just enough so that it wont run right on icedtea, offer the ActiveX backdoor into my PC, and piss me off by taking the 'when all else fails, mandate the browser and the technology to allow the user to continue' mentality. tabs in your browser arent an innovation or new feature if you're competitor offers them free of charge in their faster, more secure browser.
for christsake, it failed twice. stop pushing money on a company thats been with the internet for all intents and purposes since day one, and doesnt need a multibillion dollar conglomerate to run it into the 'embrace extend extinguish' obscurity so many other decent corporations, projects, and technologies have seen.
revolves around unscrupulous business tactics and emergency fixes to a dated and uncompetitive product turned fixture by lock-in, an enormous spinning vortex of shit known as a botnet is only natural.
Windows vista and its DRM in and of themselves are a botnet that offer you plugins and upgrades at the expense of your CPU time and sanity much the same way a botnet effectively doles out dickpill adds.
you can hurl your best in-house antivirus at it, but since that was composed by coders flogged to the finish line by marketing, i dont see how thats destined to placate the issue.
cyber monday will continue to draw crowds until weve outspent the recession
not trolling, just saying it seems like a farse. spending was only up 3% on black friday this year, and thats with some notably deep discounts. retailers are worried spending will slow to a crawl during the holidays, so theyre creating another reason to keep spending much the same way mothers day was invented by card companies. besides, isnt tech day everyday for slashdotters?
developing robots designed to fight human wars with human rulesets. if "war rules" have never really worked, human war has resulted in only loss on all sides, and if indeed war is a last resort, shouldnt we employ robots for the task of defeating the potential for war? this would by far be the most ethical employment of a "war" robot.
and now, the trollmod ensues...
thank goodness a room full of stuffy old men who all received deferments from actual battle and cling to an unrealistic definition of patriotism fueled by xenophobic speculation and lack of insight can help us determine how we should best use a technology that has been explained to them only through the rose lenses of hollywood spectacles such as the terminator.
an ethical war robot for peace makes about as much sense as a gentle-natured can opener for sealing cans.
what would either offering on my netbook seek to achieve? are you just saying words at this point? given apples track record, id hate to see 10-20 apps i cant install on the damned thing because apple has "banned" them. id also hate to see every semblance of music and video on my netbook buried under DRM encryption.
a google netbook? if you bought the EEEPc linux edition then technically you are using googles OS in a way, as it prefers to run its search monster on a custom flavor of linux.
to get Arnold Schwarzenegger out of the state of Cahlifourniahgh. the real question isnt whether or not he could start the reactor in time, but whether or not time travelling robots can live on mars...
had it not been for the quick judgement of the DoD, we may have seen her dog-bone picture frame. Housed within is obviously key links to al-quaeda...
or bush administration DoD members are just so used to casually lying to everyone, it was simply second-nature to needlessly alter a photo before sending it to press
what silverlight seeks to achieve that isnt currently offered in the web browsing experience?
I have flash in linux, and spend more time blocking it than enjoying it. i have javascript but also spend more time blocking that from shooting popups, redirects, and ads to me than actually enjoying it.
id enjoy java, but its been embraced and extended by MS to the point that no Java on the web works well, if at all in IcedTea (and icedtea explicitly meets all the requirements for java!)
activeX has turned into a security laughingstock...so perhaps this is why we're seeing silverlight?? if thats the case, i recommend linux stay the fuck away from it.
and imho, i think CSS has been the only tech offered to the web i've really enjoyed. the point of the web is to offer something everyone can share, and the megacorps seem to be diligently working to ensure we cant do that.
bittorent isnt evil. in fact, one could argue it's more efficient and cost effective than stamping disc after disc of 'i am legend' and 'happy feet' into a holographic, 3d box, which is then encased in a plastic alarm, which is then tagged with a theft sticker but not before being shrink-wrapped. all this is then whored up with stickers and its own display case the size of a lawn tractor trucked into thousands of walmarts.
fundamentally the concept of a movie must change. it cant be something thats administered in a controlled fashion like morphine, the technology has made that model obsolete. lowering the cost of a DVD to $12 doesnt work either, because the media available online is still free. if you're going up against free, you'd better come out with a stellar product or go home.
the only solution is to accept that either the reign of the film tycoon is over and moving pictures have been forced back into an artform, or embrace online technology and advances like CGI at their actual cost...not pixar's billion-dollar markup.
the whole goddamned film 'industry' is a conglomerate of artificiality, and im afraid the only ones to be stunned by the real prices of their 'art' are ironically the industry members themselves.
microsoft does something like this (ala joining the fray) its 'embrace extend extinguish' however when monty python (also a commercial franchise) does it, we're looking at a good thing?
im a big enough fan to go out and buy the DVD box set. they're worth it.
i think this just proves you dont need researchers, grad students, professors, or any of that 'academic' nonsense if you just pick a good outsource partner no one has heard of, and throw lots of money at it until your pimped version of windows server performs equivalently to its linux/unix/bsd counterpart.
are what are the overall capabilities of the operating system, its communication and data input methods outside and including standard user interface, and active countermeasures it employs against simple things like buffer overflow.
of course, proprietary OS means these statistics are blackboxed indefinitely, meaning that any claim or degree of security touted by the DoD cant be independently verified... so how the fuck is this news again??
brjust blind curiousity, id like to see this bomber operating system go head-to-head against openBSD.
