Submission + - New documents detail FBI,bank crack down or "terrorist" group Occupy Wall Street (guardian.co.uk)

jvillain writes: The Guardian has up a story detailing the crack down on Occupy Wall Street. (OWS). It goes on to show how the FBI, DHS. Terrorist Fusion Centers and the banks all worked together to stifle descent.

"This production [of documents], which we believe is just the tip of the iceberg, is a window into the nationwide scope of the FBI's surveillance, monitoring, and reporting on peaceful protestors organizing with the Occupy movement These documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and Corporate America."

I guess the next question is how many Americans are now listed as part of a "terrorist group" by the government for their support of OWS?

The result of his actions were entirely predictable. They were mean spirited and intended to provoke this response as is his calling Islam a cancer. Yet the person is not held responsible in any way, shape or form for their actions even though they lead directly to deaths. . While I respect free speech you can't shout fire in a theatre for good reasons. Why isn't this person being held to the same level of responsibility?

I have been using a Linux desktop exclusively for almost as long as they have been around. Mostly KDE in my case. The things that need really changing aren't at the desk top level. Flash doesn't work of course but the solution isn't to get flash support. It is to get others to abandon a proprietary solution masquerading as an internet standard. The open source video drivers from AMD and NVidia suck rhinos but the solution isn't to capitulate to a closed source world of blobs.

Beyond that the Linux desktop just works and I am a LOT more productive using it.

Every body built out their production for the HDTV migration. Now that it is over demand is down. 3D was supposed to be the great saviour but not so much. Turns out people want to match movies on 4" screens and you can get a lot of those out of a 120" sheet. There was also that little tsunami thing as well.
