or is this going to be a digital galileo where unpopular fact is pushed to the bottom..

Not sure what you mean. xfce is pretty simple and intuitive to use. It takes a minute or two in control panels and then gets out of your way. The interface conventions are easily toggled between various unix environments and microsoft ones as well.

Yes, but it's not progress if it destroys the more technical constructs that allow more knowledgeable people to be more productive. Replacing whole interfaces with a search box does just that.

Nah, you can do things with GUI that can't be done at a text prompt. The reverse is also true. I don't think your analogy applies.

Well, then that's their limitation, not mine. I am tired of this trend of dumbing things down to the lowest possible. In this case, it puts the search engine in control of who gets to find your site. Also, having sites memorized removes the search step from the process which is a net win for people who actually have brains.

The church might care if google decided to delist them, say for political reasons.

The parallel port laplink cables also work. With the parallel ports set to ecp mode it's a lot faster than serial.

Fitting that the company is called 'humanyze'. Kinda like calling the big brother act 'patriot'.

relevant link. The political stage is dated, but the intended message to americans is not.

nope. The constitution doesn't apply to citizens of other countries.

and that data should be subject to constitutional protections, same as mail and other forms of communication that are. This whole idea of 'on the internet' not having the same status is just dirty reach around tactics. If anything, the government's behavior in this area is proof of why we need those protections in the first place. Regardless of how the data was acquired, if it is associated with an american citizen, he is owed due process and the right of presumed innocence. Things the NSA enables like secret watch lists and indefinite incarceration (gitmo) are NOT constitutional, regardless of whether the data acquired was digital or not.

If these threats you speak of are so dire as to require the suspension of constitutional rights, then it's time to declare war on the countries that house/fund/maintain these threats. It is NOT ok to use it as an excuse to clamp down on your own citizens.

That doesn't mean it's wrong to encourage them not to censor in particular areas. As in "hey, you shouldn't do this, here's why."

Of course when the whole is made up of relatively few, large private entities which have ties to the state, it becomes more complex.

Reality isn't always safe for kids either. Why should the net be? This constant dumbing down and treating everyone as errant children is destroying society.

I'll sure it'll be crippled.. Like XNA on the 360.

No it doesn't. The law does. If you're not happy, and she's lording it over you, then maybe you should divorce..or leave the country (assuming you're in the west).

Yes, well, her denying you a child is not the same as forcibly taking your money to fund her 'choice.'
