Comment Re:Don't be a policeman (Score 1) 286

Who said anything about punishment? I think the proposal calls for an email or phone call to the 'victim' to advise them they have been hijacked. Remember, they could also have a keylogger installed to get their bank passwords, too.

By extending your analogies, you're saying that AIDS victims should not be notified they have the disease, but leave them free to infect the population unaware.

Stop overreacting.

Comment Not Just a New Distro (Score 1) 817

Its not just a new remix of Debian or Fedora - most people seem to be missing what could be potentially huge: Chrome will replace Xorg, and maybe also GNOME and KDE with something new.

I assume they wouldn't bother unless it will be superior to all of these, i.e. smaller, faster, more stable, and easier to code for.

Maybe it will even run games better, and maybe even include a directX-type graphics subsystem? Or maybe finally get OpenGL implemented correctly?

Obviously some penalties are needed otherwise the weasels will constantly try, try, and try again until all civil liberties are gone.

Let it be resolved that: If any elected politician tries to make a law which is found to contravene the spirit of the principles embodied in a countries bill or charter of rights and freedoms, then that politician will be immediately removed from office and publicly flogged.

Let's see how many friends in office the RIAA/MPAA etc. have after reading that into law.
