well it ends up with it being easy to prove that the earth isn't staying static on it's place.

or if it is then the whole universe works by magic and is just made to appear that earth goes around the sun and that the sun moves itself through the galaxy and...

and what does it matter what it says in the bible when the real issue is that these guys are trying to discredit science, theory of relativity etc by bullshitting people into believing that nasa is just trying to fool them into becoming heathens?

because they regard to the tribesmen as animals to conserve. not as humans to interact with like you do with humans, to educate, to help.

now, why don't we regard north korea as the same? I'm willing to bet the justice system in those tribes works just as fine as it does in NK.... the mortality rate goes up? well, how about vaccinating them - though a lot of the reason why things hit the fan might be just that their tribal system collapses as the village elders/strongest no longer have anything to base their power on since they don't have the most strength(since guns take out brute force from killing prowess) and its obvious pretty soon that they don't have the most knowledge either.

(furthermore, the population levels of the tribes are so small that they're doomed in the long run anyways)

it's a pretty easy barrier if enforced on _everyone_.

you see, a supplier wanting to hide something based on "trade secret" or whatever(often used to hide just blatant copying anyways) ? well fuck then they don't sell on one of the biggest markets.

if eu and usa did it at the same time then manufacturers would have no option really - and their suppliers would need to either comply or get out of the business, making the barrier for 3rd parties to start making competing products smaller - not bigger.

It's not about freedom of speech. It's about giving him money from a "non-profit" for buying adverts for said speech. Money you were giving him by using Mozilla products.

He can say all he wants and shouldn't be persecuted for that but when there's equivalent products for viewing the web available, if you disagree with him then giving him cash kinda matters. More so when he was CEO and presumably getting the biggest cut of the cash.

google tv's biggest problem was exactly that it wasn't android on a box.

this made the decision for anyone nerdy enough to want something like that to buy a box that was an android on a box.. which are cheap and plentiful and then you can play (gyro mouse or wireless mouse or whatever input.. and they are 100x better than any fucking smartTv for games, music, online video and anything..) angry birds or really any android app that doesn't need multitouch.

what they need is just a decent default launcher app for tv use(I'm pretty sure there's several on the google play market already though) and start giving the licenses out so users don't need to jury rig google play services on there themselves...

what you described as was exactly access to being exposured to unfiltered information.

there was an ad over a decade ago from on ISP on finnish television where an elderly woman eagarly described to the postman that she had been to south pole last night and tonight she was going to go to the moon. internet enables virtual travel as far as interaction with people goes, unfiltered information from almost anywhere on the world on a whim.
