I read in another article that kids used a variety of tools to get their agenda accomplished. The list of items now deemed socially threatening are:
Language - English ... each person is now required to speak in their own unique language that is to be understood by nobody else.
Brains ... the government education system has spent nearly a century trying to atrophy children's brains so that they can no longer use them. Obviously the government fails another program. People are now forbidden from thinking useful thoughts.
Computers ... each one of them used a computer. Ban the production of all computers, and impound all existing computers.
Telecom infrastructure ... the US's own telecom system was used against it in this unparalleled attack by clumps of frozen moisture. Shut down all communications between citizens.
Mother Nature ... she provided the ammo, that bitch.
Obviously language, our brains, computers, and the telecom system all shoulder equal responsibility in the tragic events that unsettled a Macy's for an afternoon. Our ancestors should be ashamed of themselves for developing language ... God should be tried for giving us brains ... nothing good has ever come from a computer ... and the telecom system only enables large-scale communication.
Fortunately, we're already taking care of Mother Nature. A couple more decades of pollution and she'll no longer be a nuisance.
Well considering that the world's largest hardware vendors have a hell of a time keeping their hardware working with Linux by providing native drivers ... I doubt the French programmers are going to worry about creating Windows, Mac AND Linux versions of their trojan horse. So, in essence to a large part of the surveillance issue Linux is a very valid answer.
And Ubuntu totally cleared away this bad case of athlete's foot I got last month. Worked like a charm!¡
My fiance & I have already decided to do what it takes to get us professionally to a point to be able to home school our kids when we have them. There's no way I'm trusting something so valuable and precious as my (future) children to the government.
Sorry, the ends don't justify the means. It's wrong. Period.
They could have saved a human life, and I would still say the person responsible for this program should be fired, sued, and socially exiled.
Surveillance isn't the answer. In the case of your point: the parents are responsible for providing a safe home and are responsible for keeping sex offenders away from their children. The school officials over-extended their bounds.
It has more to do with desktop publishers missing the layout control.
An article regarding Wired's app mentioned that the web and magazine teams are completely separate. Whereas the iPad App team are the graphic designers working in InDesign from the same files that make the magazine.
It's not distribution control, but layout control that many publishers miss from moving from print to web.
Re: Re: Re: Why should digital paper costs _have_ to fall?
You think I'm paying for content. I'm not. I'm paying for a product. And the delivery mechanism should mean a difference in price because the price reflects the costs associated with that product.
The product I get in a newspaper is more valuable than the content. The paper itself can line my cat's litter box, be used to pad boxes so breakables don't break, I can cut stuff out of it, lend it to a friend, or make a bitchin' pirate hat.
With this digital version, I'm getting a different product, with less value in some regards, more value in others, and I expect the price I pay to reflect the difference in delivery mechanism. The content may be the same, but the product is ENTIRELY different.
So, the original comment starts implying that Google is giving Chrome preference because Chrome will show YouTube videos.
But then counters by using MS MCE as an example of media-center software still able to view YouTube?
Wow.
Debate fail.
But to answer your point, it's because the content creators haven't rallied to get MCE on the list of devices to block with the YouTube option that they (not Google) turn on per video.
Actually this hurts Google's profits, because that's less devices to show their ads on. Remember: Google wants to be on every device, it's how they make money.
It's the content creators that are instigating the evil. Google just gave them the noose to do it, and shares in the hanging, but it's the content creators that are pulling the rope.
Probably not since they're talking about specialized media center hardware or software. It's the fact that it's not being displayed in one of the major general purpose web browsers that the content creators are wanting to block.
They're not blocking IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera ... they're blocking media-centric hardware & software that is designed to make the web video viewing experience more TV-like.
Re: Why should digital paper costs _have_ to fall?
Though, by not altering the price, you're essentially saying the consumer purchased the physical product AND are paying residual pricing for the physical product the newspaper previously provided.
So, I would spend $500 of my own money on a newspaper delivery device ... and then spend another $20-30/month for the newspaper on top of that, without reaping financial benefits of paying less per issue to save cost in the long-term.
So, I get less and pay more! That's exactly how to price the digital version of a newspaper to increase "value"¡¡¡ Now, if they do things with the digital edition that they couldn't or didn't do with the print version that provides additional value over the previous print editions ... then we're talking something interesting. Like, for my $30/month a reporter will actually LISTEN and RESPOND to comments and criticism of their reports ...
But simply repackaging an old product, slapping the "NEW" sticker on it, and schlepping it out the door without a price break ... no dice.
For me, the price per song is closer to $.25 to get me to download legit over P2P. And even then, I would expect a minimum level of quality with no artifacts or pops and well crafted IDv3 tags with embedded cover art.
