BLUE = Bill Loses Ubuntu Encounter ?

If Google told on Microsoft, I have no problem with that. Now, Google should inform on Microsoft on trying to control the entire PC market and squash Operating System competition with "their" hated "Trusted computing" platform http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing ..

Based on Microsoft's track record, how can you a) Trust Microsoft b) Trust ANY company .c) Leave control of your hardware to a corporation that does bidding of governments / media cartel - especially if they are foreign governments.

I bought a DSLR with a 35mm sensor. After a brief flirt with a digital compact when my film camera broke down, I decided on full frame as the APS-C type dimentions looked really weird compared to film, and even more so on a computer monitor.

The only problem is 35mm sensors cost many hundreds more than an APS-C sensor. but you got paid back for it with lovely images in the dark with much less noise.

One thing that the switch to digital has done, is to allow more experimentation in photography, as you are not watching how much money you're burning up on negatives that might be wasted shots, and also having to write down / remember what the settings were for that negative to have got a certain effect. In digital it's all in the EXIF.

I do wonder at people claiming they get brilliant multi-megabyte photographs from their mobile phones, when the sensor is the size of a pinhead.

"Your Cloud Provider (Probably) Isn't Spying On You"......

But your government probably is.

Let's see. With cash, it's in your hand. In the digital world, you could have a certain company beginning with P (who think they are a bank but aren't) who decides that it doesn't like your haircut, then suspends your account without notice so the money you need for your business is now frozen. You might get it back some day, who knows when.

If you don't want to take cash in store, don't cry when a card company stops payments and your cash flow freezes up. Litigate for the money? After your business has collapsed?

Cashless will never happen, although it's many governments wet dream as it will be able to track everything you spend your money on, and that's what they want.

Why would anyone trust a company that pretends to be a bank, but is not regulated like a bank, and so can disappear your money in an instant and leave you whistling in the wind for YOUR money? Did the government somehow find if difficult to find a company more trusted?

I would like to explore with greater emphasis the lady I have the hots for, but I see as a nerdy website how such an option would be omitted..... nerds with girlfriends / wives?!

Control of internet numbering.. so these countries don't want to move from IPv4 to IPv6 to aid in their controlling of device / service blocks?

I check when I don't get an expected email to see if one of my filters has stopped an email, I might have forgotten to whitelist a new address.

I look into /dev/null but can see nothing there, so all's well ;)

I'm no fan of what is widely seen as America pulling the internet this way and that, especially with the media cartels having politicians in their pockets, but the thought of the UN controlling the internet is even worse. Think of free speech, and kiss that goodbye.

How can you trust a computer when it can't be examined what the code is actually doing? How can you trust a computer when Microsoft are involved?

Won't be buying a PC with that "trusted" junk on it.

Freedom of Speech should NEVER be joined with smashing people up / killing them because they got "offended" by a comment. This is the trouble with politicians, because they are attacking Free Speech by linking the two.

Cracking down on Free Speech also helps politicians cover up the crimes by them and the bankers that bankroll them.

Missing option of "A quiet night" being a treat, no hoards of children wanting freebies or being morons with their "tricks" which would get an adult arrested.

As a Linux user, Mozilla should be targetting Adobe not me. For example, Adobe released a not working version of their flash player, it changes the colours of video on places like Youtube if you have hardware acelleration enabled. To get proper colours you have to disable hardware accelleration, which has a massive impact on system performance, even on a dual core machine.

To add to the problem, Adobe said they will no longer be working on Flash for Linux (at least the 64 bit version). So they released a known buggy version, and refuse to revert to previous version that worked.

Me updating is not the problem, it's companies like Adobe that need to be targetted.
