Fork this, Firefox 3.x was great before the Google Chrome and iOS Safari imitations. So someone Fork the classic Firefox 3 we all know and love before this web OS crap takes over.

Network computers, JavaOS, MIPS and OS/2 didn't work out either did they? Just make the best web browser you can and have a cache mod system to load and unload modules and plugins when needed to save on memory. Why follow ChromeOS now? Focus on what you do best, the web browser is the OS and does not need to be turned into an independent OS just run on top of someone else's OS and process HTML 5 and under code.

Based on history, one person's evil is another person's good. All people think they are good and hardly anyone thinks they are evil. The same goes for Internet companies and ToS policies that take away civil rights and privacy etc.

Even Internet web sites with no ToS run by a tinpot dictator or majority democracy can be evil and think they are good. It is just a matter of scale.

So if Microsoft did the same as Google. Makes a social network that when the heard ToS are violated, locks the account for everything at Microsoft and cell phone would it be just as evil or more evil? I think we need an Evil-o-meter here or something to measure the evil.

If a company is not evil or thought of as evil and does evil is it still good or incompetent at doing good?

Use the XBox Konnect Lukebot!

Uh maybe stop for some gas as a 100 year trip kinda gets long. Brown dwarf stars are basically gas stations on the way to other stars, yes. A parsec is about three years in light speed but slower speeds take longer. Stop every three to five years at BD gas stations and pick up gas, food, and supplies.

In order to have elements beyond carbon one needs a bigger star than our yellow sun. Large stars tend to supernova and become brown dwarfs or black holes in some cases. Some stars fail and become brown dwarfs as well. But you can still get hydrogen from them from solar winds for spacecraft.

It is hard to detect them because the brown dwarfs are Earth size and do not give off much heat or light. Our sun Sol is supposed to have a companion star nearby called Nemesis that is a brown dwarf and throws asteroids at our solar system.

Get infected with a software virus or download pirated files. In Soviet Russia AnonPlus invites you. All you have to lose is your identity. Identity theft and social engineering goes hand in hand with AnonPlus social nethacking.

Anonymous stays anonymous to avoid getting caught. They use nicknames or handles and not real names. A social network would defeat their purpose unless it is a fake one to capture IP addresses and passwords to hack more sites. It makes as much common sense as fighting cockroaches with Viagra. Most likely this Anonplus was created for the lulz and will fold faster than Google Wave did! :)

What next telnet BBSes and ASCII Art? No SSH pure telnet unencrypted Systems? :)

BusHitler is out of office and the Dems control congress. I though we voted for change and hope? How is this change and hope?

(two FBI agents in an pizza van talk to each other. "he is on to us better scam!" and disconnect from my wifi, cell phone, analog phone, and cable TV devices.)

Yes and people who don't know how computers work tend to use them anyway. If not then the virus writers, scammers, adware spyware writers will go out of business.

Also Apple would be out of business and there would be no Groupon or Facebook. We'd still have BBS tech and text based services. Unix would rule and MS Windows would not.

Fact is people work for companies even if they don't know how they work. That Dilbert PHB syndrome for example. :)

From what I read she was a follower of him on twitter. Wiener made a joke about 10:45 in Seattle a week earlier and somehow she was from Seattle. He said on CNN that it was a coincidence but if he was hacked, they'd target her because of the Seattle remark. Then he'd be responsible for her info leaked out all over the press.

Not sure if she got the picture or knew him, but it seems that after she said she did not even get the picture that her info is all over the news now as they investigate her. I would think her privacy is invaded as even victims of sexual harassment are allowed to keep their privacy and anonymity, but even if she was sexually harassed or not, she already lost that in violation of the sexual harassment laws.

Based on his comments on CNN, it seems as if he knew he was hacked as soon as the picture was sent on his profile and he clicked on it and went to a web site that hosted it and it let him in without a password.

I would tend to think that it was a cross site scripting attack that spoofed the twitter page and then used his login to post the picture from a web site to his twitter feed. It caused him to erase all pictures in a desperate attempt to delete the offending photo. This has happened to many and yes usually changing the profile is a tip that the account is hacked.

In some cases a fake profile is make over many web sites pretending to be the person and that profile posts the fake pictures or photoshopped pictures. That is used after the hack attempts fail.

Well there is a big difference between bewtween liking a product and affording it.

For example many people like the Apple iPad and Windows 7 tablet devices. Those that like it but cannot afford it, then usualy don't buy them. They wait until the price comes down or find sometrhing else.

The company that can make an affordable tablet that runs most of the software out there stands to win such a game. Which is why PC Clones won the computer wars a long time ago verses the Apple Macintosh, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, CP/M, and other devices. Now we have a tablet computer instead of a desktop computer.

I like the Macbook Pro and Mac Pro, can't afford those either. Not having the money to buy such things is an economics problem when a majority of the market cannot afford to buy things. If the economy improves and more people have more money to buy the newer technology then things will change.

Buy a computer or buy food for our family, what to choose, eh? :)

Now who lets people take iPhones to a college exam like an SAT exam? Back in the days I took such exams as ACT or SAT, we could not even take a calculator or digital watch with us. Now people can take an iPhone and trick others into answering for them?

Seriously? Why not buy an eBook on the SAT and use that to look up answers, much cheaper and can study it before taking the test.

"Hey belcher, what'd ya get for #31?

"I don't know Moose, someone wrote in 'kiss my grits' for the number for answering the hypothesis." :)

Marvel tried this with the Marvel Ultimate Universe. No doubt this is Universe/Earth 53 or something and then we go back to the normal universe.

All it takes apparently is a hissy fit by Superboy Prime to hit the wall in the space-time continuum, really easy to do apparently. :)
