Did you know that the left/right sides of the brain theory has been debunked and hasn't been seriously considered for the last few decades? Stop using it to talk about different types of skills, it just makes you sound stupid. edit: just in

Where's the code? Seriously, where's the code? Your server seems to be getting hit pretty hard. Would be nice to be able to hack on it and to be able to host a mirror.

I hope you revisit some of his philosophical speeches and reconsider your position. When software runs the whole freaking world, it is entirely possible to enslave the world through onerous license, copyright, trademark, patent, etc. fees.

He's not an activist; that's what makes him effective. The history of "social justice" movements is full of examples where some people were in favour of revolution as opposed to mere reform. There are a lot of people that want to live in a

Why not ask the employees who actually WORK on their products what the heck Yahoo's vision for the future should be? Crowdsource the company vision so you don't have to rely on someone like Steve Jobs magically appearing out of nowhere.

I just realized something, back in 2001, the day before the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers, Donald Rumsfeld said that the Pentagon lost $2.3 trillion dollars. It's funny how that same sum comes up again: the elephant in the ro

That's the point. If you fall behind on your payments, they own your house. How much real estate do you think the banks own now because of these crap loans? They can sell that for whatever they want and on top of that, they got paid for i

Because the system itself includes the government and why the hell would they do that to themselves??

You don't get it because you don't get how the system works. This is how it works; the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. This is about image; if they don't sue, they'll look bad. If they sue, then they can at least say "hey, we tried!"

Breaking up the banks will only delay them for a bit or will encourage them to do some neat accounting tricks and further take advantage of whatever loopholes they can. Even if they do split, what's stopping them from forming a free organiz

It doesn't matter. Warren Buffett said it best, there's a class war going on and only the people at the top (government, banks, multinational corporations) are winning. They spread propaganda about unions being bad for you, or they create r

Google Talk uses Jabber which has support for group chats. Hosting your own jabber server isn't a huge deal. You could use IRC for group chats and have multiple rooms there as well. Again, it's not a huge deal to setup your own IRC server.

Right but people are still dying in those countries, though not due to journalists.

It's because startups don't have as much cash as large multinational corporations. It's hard to understand someone who has very little cash ;)

Psh, you can still spread messages person to person, you know, in REAL LIFE . It's sad how we're all tied to the Internet and try to make it the first and foremost way in which we communicate.

The military-industrial complex! Done, next question? Why would a government want to remove the middle-man when the middle-man is making enough money to lobby the government to protect them? -_-'

"Going to bat for American business and jobs" is a bit of a lie since Oracle has roughly the same number of employees in both the Americas and the Asia Pacific regions and the number of employees in Europe, Middle East & Africa has been

Is this a surprise? Governments and industry are joined at the hip. There's a hell of a revolving door in all governments; business people become politicians and vice versa and for some reason we accept it.

He's been saying that eventually it'll be open-source, once it gets a 1.0 version? I don't know, maybe it's time to bug him some more about it...

Not sure but thinking back to those Chinese hackers they might be interested in knowing who's talking to who. It's also useful for anyone who wants to smear someone else. "Oh politician so-and-so is talking to such a person in secret, I won

So far the "real name" policy is the only major, undemocratic, incident that I've seen from a centralized online service. Does anyone know of any other incidents that make case against centralized servers? Easy access for law enforcement,

49 comments in 5 hours and almost all of them talk about the technical aspects or about working at Google. This is about more than that, it's about decentralization as a way to empower people so that in the end we don't need centralized com

All that music Don Henley recorded wouldn't belong to musicians. That was already happening. It is (or was) rare for artists to own the rights to their own works.

I was going to give a quick glance to Opa, but the AGPL license fills me with confidence. Your team is confident that the language is awesome enough that the license won't be a problem even for proprietary/commercial users of it. Good choic

How is that limiting for startups? Most startups are built on execution and network-effects and I don't see how the license is a hindrance to that.
