Fwd: Time Warner CFO Bitching About Your Using Services Like Redbox and Netflix. Would Rather You Pay Through the Nose and Buy Their DVDs. - http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx... (via http://ff.im/7Rh8d)

Also ironic, the video touting Windows over Linux http://www.itsbetterwithwindows.com/ uses built in Final Cut pro effects/transitions. So It's Better with Windows, unless it is for them... Then it is better with a Mac? LOL.

Well that and IT'S A NETBOOK for goodness sake! :) If you cannot use Linux on a netbook, there are bigger issues with basic brain function at risk here. It's used for Firefox and wifi - all Windows is giving folks is malware headaches. But at least THAT is familiar. :)

I noticed they were all using 7" eee pcs, obviously it was quiet an old video. I remember a demo I saw on an early 701 with touch screen, in the video the anti virus kicked in and the unit screeched to a halt, still if they are happy with windows home edition let the have it, but its not for me :)

OH on NPR: "The Dow is down 343 points this hour." Sigh. I blame Bush for bankrupting the US, like he did his companies.

The myth that the war is to blame is not true - it will indeed crush us later on, just not yet. No, this current crisis is caused by lack of checks and balances in the *financial industry* fueled by greed. The only thing the Bush administration did is nothing at all to prevent it, not so much creating the cause. Both parties are totally guilty of creating the ecosystem where this crap...

Hmm, I guess I don't completely disagree, and clearly the current situation is nuanced and textured and can't be brought down to one or two issues, but it does seem to me that the combination of the war and Bush's Ownership Society initiative (http://tr.im/yb) to encourage more home ownership are good places to look for consequences of the kind of poor governance, leadership and corruption that characterizes this administration.
- Chris Messina
Yeah, the war was priced in to the stock market long ago.
- Alex Scoble
Does anyone remember bush's proposal to invest social security in a total stock market fund? It would have been optional but would still lead to cries for bailouts as soon as the market dipped. Scary.
- Mark Collier
Actually, folks, this is fundamentally a result of systemically mispriced risk. Why was the risk in all of this mispriced? Because Congress compelled the financial industry to extend "ownership" to people who could not rightfully afford it. It really has very little to do with Bush - sorry. Once the incentive structure was put in place, the financial markets did what they always do - try to make a buck into ten bucks. But the very nature of the situation was wrong, and you're witnessing the aftermath.

I just realized I gave out the remaining biz cards at Gnomedex and have none for VWorlds2008 in LA. But seriously, *business cards* at a virtual world conference? I should telepathically BEAM that data to you. Can't we upgrade? I'll say this, next rev of cards will be products. :)

Honestly, I don't understand this card thing. I was beaming people with palm pilots 8 years ago. In fact, it was considered RUDE to have business cards when I went to infrastructure conferences.

@Christine, i work in telecommunications and i've run into situations where handing a biz card is a huge faux pas. beam it or forget it is what i've been told.

Of course, how do we know what can be beamed or not, what's compatible or not. I wouldn't even know how to transfer between a treo and iphone or blackberry and nokia... and i'm like from the FUTURE n shit. :)

When it comes to shareware apps today, I wonder if the place to be is not with Windows as the author says, but rather with the iPhone or OS X. The Windows market is so vast it's hard to get noticed, even with a great app. Now in terms of the OS, I think it still matters. However, I'd add that Linux developers need to make their case today why Linux on a _notebook_ is the thing to do....

I do believe there needs to be some change to adopt.. Normal users will never understand the "Free as in Speech, Free as in Beer" concept. We need to get rid of the terms open, closed, free, etc.. (whether you care about them or not) Also, not allowing closed source (i.e. Nvidia drivers, Flash, etc) items to be pre-installed is an obvious death wish. Wine should be installed, enabled, and ready to go by default. There are plenty of awesome apps on Linux. Just make them easier to find and install.
- Tim Hoeck
Ya lost me when you posted Ballmer spelling out his "thoughts". Gates, okay, but Ballmer - please... That said, as a full time Linux user, you are right in a number of areas. What is wild is that most of them are not that difficult to fix, either. And your point about open or closed source - spot-on. OS for the job getting done, not its license. I could care less how Linux is licensed, as long as I can maintain certain freedoms with it. Good write up. ;)

I consider myself fiscally conservative in my political views and in that regard usually side with the Republicans but I just haven't been able to do it for several years now. There's a point when one has to realize that the ramifications of a liberal fiscal policy really doesn't matter when we're at war with the whole world. I'd be damned if there's another military draft without justification, a la Vietnam, and our current diplomatic posture and saber rattling is not a good enough reason...
- grant fox
...I take recession over warmongering any day.
- grant fox
Jeff, the Clinton surplus never materialized, because the economy was predicted to continue growing at the pre-increase rate, which of course it didn't because of the tax increases. Clintons vaunted "full employment" was at 6% unemployment, the rate now is 5.7%, The booming economy was the result of Reagan's fiscal policies. Clinton was leaving office just as the damage he did to the economy was becoming obvious.
- Robert Hafer
iphonegirl, I would think that people on your side of the pond would remember Neville Chamberlain and what came of his efforts to avoid war at any cost.

Bottom line on war is we need to participate with the world and not mandate. America needs to check its ego at the door and foster the relationships we have squandered.

Wow... just wow. Clicking 'Like' just doesn't seem to be fitting. FF needs another option methinks... Anyway, this is disgraceful.

now let's see WHO in the Senate actually votes for this. Who's for change ?
- Andrew MacNeill
from twhirl
The bill passed, like 9 months ago, something like 406-6. It's law. Weren't you all calling your Senators when this was up for the vote last fall? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Adam Turetzky
Sorry, wrong bill, although that one is equally as bad. Here's the one they're referring to in the video http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin...&

And here's who voted for and against it http://www.senate.gov/legisla...

It seems USA is truly heading towards being a totalitarian state
- Brian Sullivan
Technically, it is Congress giving Bush a pardon he wrote and inserted in a bill. But he won't escape international prosecution because of this.
- Mitch Ratcliffe
from twhirl
So is this like asking for forgiveness for something he may or may not do now, or in the future or may have done in the p... oh, damn! I've gone crossed eyed!

Where does responsibility end? Congress voted for the things he's being potentially accused of, as well. Do they get punished for war-crimes? What about the faulty intelligence gatherers? What about folks like Gore and the Clintons, who also supported the Iraqi war? What about the folks who voted for the folks who voted for this war? It's easy to pick on the President because he's a retard, but that doesn't make it sporting.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Good point, Mark. On the other hand, giving this administration's penchant for torture, illegal extraditions, etc. there may have been some war crimes the administration engaged in that Congress did not approve.
- Steve Lynch
No, that's not a point, it's a slippery slope. Last time I checked, Mark, going to war or being a retard wasn't against the law. Torture is. And Congress had nothing to do with its institution as the preferred method for gathering intelligence, taking as models the Viet Kong and the Gestapo. It was an unconstitutional expansion of executive power. In my view, they are fascists.

Why?
- David O'Halloran
Maybe I don't see the irony in this film and I'm taking it too seriously, but, as a Dutch person being, I think it's quite scary to see a 11 year old girl handling a weapon like this. I don't think you'll be able to find a girl in the Netherlands who touched a weapon like that ever.
- Ton Zijp
And then she promptly walks around in front of the barrel - bad call - still... nice execution. As for the Why? Why not... Boy scouts tie knots, whittle sticks with knives and shoot bows & arrows. Why shouldn't a girl be interested in guns? It's not like it's a strictly male pasttime.

Guns Kill, Cars Kill, Planes Kill, Diet Kills. All have been used as weapons, but there is generally one thing on that list that is known to be used as a weapon of defense by free peoples. Though I don't own a gun, I think it is commendable that young people are taught to handle a weapon that can be used in defense against those that would wish her/him harm. The only problem I have with...

Ugliest thing I have seen in a long time. Who would teach a young person such a thing? There is alot of other challenges to be able to take apart, video and show off. I vote for: Parent FAIL.

Why would a family need guns like that in a house? Who in the US need an automatic assault rifle in their house?

Sorry, I am trying to think logically about this thread. Lets just send this link to the families of Columbine or Virginia Tech victims. Makes me real proud to be apart of a something that lets these devices exist. It doesn't make sense.
