This isn't about outright communism, it's about fixing the capitalist mistakes of the last 50 years quickly. Mistakes made by ignoring the role of private debt in the economy. Allowing the financial sector and bad economic beliefs to control the money supply.

Greece's government is insolvent. They can't honour their debts, so how are we going to deal with them? Lend them more money so they can pay the interest and delay the inevitable?

Their population is unemployed. How are they going to earn enough to pay their personal debts? Slavery? How does taking more money from the poor through austerity measures help them?

The system has already failed. The people have cast their vote for change. Be thankful they haven't elected a fascist, power hungry government like the last time we saw this level of unrest in Europe.

Write simple code and let the compiler find a faster way to run it. It's a problem that is being actively worked on.

And on the LLVM mailing list this recently, there has been talk of translating recursive code into a loop or stack based state machine in order to allow vectorisation, unrolling, common sub expression elimination, and all of the other optimisations from their bag of tricks.

Sorry, quiet and polite would be the British. You're just the incredibly friendly sidekick.

That is incorrect. The American justice system is based upon the opinions of judges on the laws written by the legislature with respect to their adherence to the Constitution, the Declaration, other founding documents, British common law, and the founding principles.

That having been said, a case like this would have to reach the justice system first before it could be subject to American justice. And in this situation, just as in say, Assange's situation, there's good reason to believe that these people would never be subject to the American justice system. Instead they would probably be first subject to the American vengance and punitive systems, namely the military and civilian law enforcement. They'd be lucky to face justice alive and mentally and physically whole.

More than likely, Snowden would end up like an American Alan Turing: one who did a great service to his country, only to be driven to an unjust end by its government.

I don't think you're libertarian, even if you identify yourself as such.

Government regulation can be both bad and good. You know this. You've pointed this out in the very post I'm replying to. There are situations that deal with the public good and interest where government has to step in. There are situations where government should sit the fuck out. In this situation, even you recognize the government has to regulate. You've also recognized that the government shouldn't have regulated local communications monopolies into existence. The key is knowing when the government should regulate, and when it shouldn't.

The writers of the Article of Confederation found this out the hard way. That's why they rewrote it into what's now the Constitution. This country needs a strong central government. Just not too strong. Industries need government regulations. Just not too much.

That's not a libertarian ideal. But it is a sensical one.

Still, none of this personal information should ever be sent unencrypted over email.

In my experience, Google does not offer good support. They're primarily engineers, and engineers typically have no sense of the needs of anybody else but themselves. Remember, you're the product, not the customer. They are assuredly not a "decent" vendor by any means. They're a tolerated vendor, and not because they're necessarily such great products, but tolerated only because there's no one else.

Rather than any conscious decision to deny you support, the woes you experienced was probably a result of that prevailing corporate mentality. Don't ever count on Google for support. Some of their engineers may be helpful, but there's no corporate policy and in particular, no corporate culture of thinking of their users.

IEEE is an engineering journal, not a scientific one. These are two completely different fields, with two completely different mindsets. If you don't know the difference, I'll give you a hint: one is binary and the other is not.

Well, thats better than investing in "Rouge Android Startups"...

Cyanogen mod don't have access to the source code for all of the drivers required to run the hardware. So they have to copy the binaries from the manufacturer.

If the manufacturer doesn't support new versions of android, with newer linux kernels, there's not much they can do.

I also had a script that would tweak the beep pitch and duration and play the close encounters theme. With the option of using a different xserver for each beep. Combined with a script that would use finger to display a map of the terminals people were connected from, and terminals that were xhost+ when noone was logged in ....

No. GP is actually a limited, unreliable, and gimmick-heavy choice.
