Comment Re:Long time Ubuntu User here (Score 0) 798

I like unity too. But then I'm one of the minority who doesn't see what all the fuss over Gnome 2 was. I used it, but I knew it was ugly and did everything in a piss poor manner and spent time trying to find an alternative. I personally find the autohide on the dock works great, pulling icons off works easily enough and don't really care that it sticks to the left side. I guess I'm not power user enough to demand that the dock goes on the bottom.

Seriously, I doubt I am the only one just seeing people saying "Waa waa, I don't like change", and a couple of people saying their hardware doesn't work with it. I run it on several laptops and desktops and haven't come across any issues, so I wouldn't be surprised if the devs hadn't seen any of these issues people talk about because I know I haven't. And yes I am using old hardware in the mix, single core Sempron 140 with an onboard geforce chip and it works fine.

The real decision will be made at the commission, which is lead by an ex-communist. So what do you think he'll prefer ? More control (ie. longer copyright term) or less ... So the sad fact is that the term will be extended, regardless of what the parliament is going to decide.

That doesn't make sense, if he is a communist then wouldn't there be an option to nationalise the music industry? No? Then he may not be as much of a "communist", I think you meant to say he was a wannabe American.

In the world of real business, just saying the word "encryption" is meaningless. The standards that need to be met are summed up easily, called "PCI compliance".

Sadly, most any cloud from any company does not meet most PCI or SAS70 requirements. Until it does, cloud is for mom and pop shops.

What??? How should your email platform have much impact on you PCI compliance?

Rule number 1: DO NOT EMAIL CREDIT CARD NUMBERS. Instant dismissal.

All email platforms are covered. Seriously, never send them over email. Ever. There is never a situation where you should send an unencrypted credit card number over email.

Ok I just posted below a similar question, and checking out wikipedia seems to imply that they work with ISO:

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops and promotes Internet standards, cooperating closely with the W3C and ISO/IEC standards bodies and dealing in particular with standards of the TCP/IP and Internet protocol suite.

So is this ment to bypass the ISO standardisation, and get it put straight in an ISO standard? That's a pretty imaginative way to play the game, kudos to them.

In a way, they did submit it to ISO, just a small board but one that control everything that Google cares about.

Since you seem to be still trolling, can you give us a reason why someone should be able to have absolute control over their likeness?
Are you saying that satire should be illegal, or impersonation artists? Down with SNL! Elvis impersonators are evil!

You do not have absolute control over your likeness, and never had.

Did you just compare making a doll in the likeness of someone to burglary?

Being burgled deprives you of of items you previously had. Having a doll being made of you means you lost... oh yeah nothing because Apple don't make Jobs action figures. How are the two even remotely comparable?

Or are you of the opinion that if I walk down the street and someone take a photo of the street, which you happen to be in, then you should be compensated for making up part the street scene?
