Such an idiotic claim: "stop enrichment of the world's leading internet players." Why not? I mean, if the would tax google, what, a new french service will pop up overnight? So odd...

Inexpensive (or more correctly - cheap) are almost always made in misery. So by simple logic, people who prefer cheap products prefer products made in misery.

Sounds like somebody have never been outside downtown San Francisco/Seattle/or whatever and saw real life in USA. I lived in Florida for couple of years, and I never saw (anywhere I had a chance to live) such grotesque contrast between pove

The problem, that USA is _not_ much better in the ways how blue collar workers are treated there. There is a good book "the great squeeze", which talks about misery workers go through working on American industrial facilities. Google Books

If you like products, coming from troubled places I'd recommend to look at American products. USA is a very troubled country. Great inequality, corruption, pollution, crime, wars. Lack of labor law. Infrastructure is falling apart. There is

No, North Korea will not be a gold mine in this case, it would be yet another nail into the coffin of the western world (USA especially) , insanely, hysterically excited about it's own deindustrialization.

1) People in USA/Canada/Other western world are _addicted_ to products made in misery (in China, for example). Less miserable of course, but still far from good conditions. 2) If there are reasons to think that it can improve their conditio

Well, what else one can expect from Raytheon?

No, it is not. But it is a result of overconfidence, caused by belief that GPL is a silver bullet. People, who run BSD-licensed projects, in my observation, tend to be more cautious, because BSD license provides no protection against "priva

MySQL is already lost. It is necessary to focus on Postgres now. It still seems to be non-private.

Well I can say this: Europeans are doing pretty good, without their own Silicon Valleys, because the produce (contrary to USA): 1. Cars - Germany, Sweden, France, Italy; 2. Food you can actually eat (german/belgian chocolate - compare to He

Agree with only one point (more availible drivers). Developer mindshare - irrelevant point, from the point of view of non-kernel related development, FreeBSD an Linux are very same. Higher performance? - not sure. Proven terchnology on netb

I do not think that is gonna lead to something useful, people can fall into "chinese syndrome" syndrome, when a movie predicted what hapeened a week later... Yet it is very chilling to read.

Eee... You can not do too much to boost Fox news today. No matter if you like (I do) or do not, the consumer want less of right-wing stuff. He'll probably invent something out of this scandal, but won't return "old good times".

So do you think that success of MacOS X (derived from FreeBSD)does not show benefitsof BSD model? Or Microsoft's use of NetBSD? And also, many developers put off by GPL( I am for example), The objective reasons for being not as popular I t

Well, that is why I watch Vimeo.Low-budget and good. And in general, that is very American way of thinking, that the best movies necessarily have to use most advanced technologies. For example, European movies are often low-budget, yet bett

Paranormal activity an Pi are dirty cheap, but nonetheless good movies. I mean expensive is not necessarily good.
