Personally I think it's the only thing that should be on the list, otherwise it just legitimises Sony's claims that they did it to stop piracy.
The hacks came after what sony removed the other os feature. If the hack only re-enables the other os feature, then sony's actions cost them nothing and gains them the ability to void out the warranty for anyone that re-enables this feature.
Just as interesting as how all these hacks started occurring after sony removed a feature that advertised.
I see this is tit for tat.
Re-enabling the "other os" feature should be low on this list. People should not have to hack their machines to get a promised feature back. The responsibly for that rests with sony.
IMO ChromeOS is only getting attention because people believes that everything that comes from Google is cool. But when I tried ChromeOS, I experience the same sensation I had when I tried Wave.
Same here. I even compiled it after trying the hexxeh binary in the hope that hexxeh had somehow disable the cool part of chromeos.
I really like all of google's products and really wish I could afford an android phone, but the chromeos is very disapointing.
I prefer jolicloud if I need to live in a cloud.
That said, I can see this being useful in setting where everything is internet based apps (like a library or kiosk.) I imagine the hardware requirements would be real low.
People store personal information on Facebook, whose privacy policies are a constant subject of debate and, it seems, in constant flux
People store information on facebook with the purpose of sharing it. Anyone using facebook for private storage does not understand the purpose of facebook.
I guess only billionaires know what is best for the common good?
The term "common good" is consistently used for the majority to force their will on someone. This is not acceptable even when the person is rich. Restrictions usually start against with unpopular groups before branching out to everyone.
Would you be OK with your money going to a pro-life group? Would you be OK with it going to a pro-choice group?
A pro-life person would not want their money in any way assisting in murdering an innocent child. A pro-choice person does not believe that abortion is murdering a child and would not want their money in any way assisting in restricting a woman's right on her own.
I knew a guy that used to brag about how he got girls drunk (usually girls that were dating his friends and felt safe with him) and would tag team them with his buddies. He was never reported by any of them woman. He made sure to make the experience so degrading they would never want it to be public.
Rape does not have to be violent to be scarring.
I make it a point (well I did when I was single) to never sleep with a girl that needed to be drunk in order to have sex. I know better than to set myself up and you never really know how much the drink is honestly effecting them.
I'm left to ask: Why Wikileaks? Why not fight for the stack of equally as good social causes and try to stop the mountain of injustice we have?
The US government is perpetrating quite a lot of the social injustices these days IMHO.
I think that was his point. I agree with you, though, that these attacks are not in anybodies best interests. This will more likely make companies more careful about supporting sites like wikileaks to begin. The result will be even less support for wikileaks and more litmus checks for everyone else who wants to start a web site.
KDE does not sort by company name like windows does. Everything is sorted by category. In fact, KDE defaults to sort the apps in the submenus by product description instead of name.
I'm not sure why you seem to think that you're entitled to water at the same rates and as much as you like as during the winter when it's presumably less contested.
I don't. The levels they set before the price doubles leave us enough water that we would have plenty for 20 years without another drop of rain. Oil companies get slammed when they raise rates and their thresholds are not nearly so wide.
I am not arguing that CPS is wrong, I am pointing out that government running utilities do not mean lighter restrictions. In fact, it is usually the opposite.
In San Antonio, we only have government utilies for our gas, water, and electricity. Trust me, the city plays the same price games that private companies have as well as having the abilty to declare certain levels in which water usage fees double. During the summer, you are ecven assigned watering days that are enforacele with fines
right now you're not likely to see much useful legislation going through as the Republicans have vowed to pretty much shut down the Federal government in a bid to derail the Democrats ability to actually get anything done so that they can claim that the Democrats didn't fix any of the problems for the 2012 Presidential race.
The democrats can defuse this by actually voting on the bill like the republicans have been requesting since the last 4 months.
Instead, the democrats keep trying to dodge it and then get mad when the republicans decide force the issue using the only tool they have.
It's not my problem how Youtube or free TV will make an income. If they don't have a clue how to make a living then they cease to exists, that is what free market is all about.
Would you work at a job that had that attitude about your paycheck? Or would you work at job that payed you only when they get paid? (How do you expect a job to pay employees if they don't have revenue?)
They are offering skip-able commercials and people are still whining that a new revenue source is needed.
What other revenue methods could there be other than product placements in the shows (which is still a commercial) or paid subscription models?

And then you only need to figure out how to sync those various keyrings across multiple PCs, browsers, OSs and smartphones. Easy as pie, right?
Use last pass, keeypass, password hasher, etc

The fact that the more radical leftists see democrats as conservatives proves my point.
It also demonstrates why no side can strive for the center sense this is useless as no one can agree where the center is.

a lot of people in the middle and somewhat on the left think he makes some brilliant points
By middle, you mean leftists that assume they represent the middle and assume anyone right of them is a neocon.
I use lastpass and have a random password generated for every site I visit. I don't even think about passwords anymore.

The government should fear YOU.
This is no more true than my employer should fear me. Government and citizenship should be a positive relationship not a conflicting one.
I am aware that it does not usually work out this way, but I am really sick of the Vendetta quotes.

A foundation allows him to know the donation is spent the way he intends it rather than how some other "charitable" organization deems fit.
For example, I donate to places directly but would never donate to United Way or Red Cross because I have no control on how that money is spent.
I don't donate enough to be worth setting up a foundation, but I can certainly understand how one might want to.
He probably means them using silverlight

We don't view the Constitution that way anymore.
Now we look at it and say "Does the Constitution say we don't have the power to do something?"
This involves ignoring the 10th amendment, but since we are already doing our best to ignore/invalidate the 2nd amendment, why not?

Some people are realizing that corporations are in control of freedom of speech, not the government.
Freedom of speech protects us from infringement from the government, not other people or corporations.
