Github also had to discontinue file downloads for the simple fact that people abused it and used the service as a way to distribute content unrelated to the open source material.
Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of github?
(Not a coder, wouldn't know)
... or malls that have closed completely. But very few mall management firms would sign off on turning one of their anchor stores into a datacenter.
Anchor store? Probably not.
But 30,000+ sq ft of space that's not turning a profit? Absolutely.
Becomes, "Don't Be Open."
This is a rather baffling move, since distributing project files via download is integral to FOSS culture."
Considering the recent spate of incidents involving Google taking a shit on the FOSS community that helped to create it, I don't find it baffling at all.
Google is finally turning into the dickhead actor who got rich and forgot who his real friends are.
Bingo! Lol, Wisconsin.
Hmm, never been to Lol.
Is that anywhere near Roflcopter?
Oh, I slay me!
I think the difference isn't that I'm white, it's that that school district and police department is full of complete morons.
Let me guess: did not go to school in Florida?
the French surrender.
Sacrebleu!
You beat me to it.
Well, were you a public-restroom-foot-tapping-congressmen, I would probably respond with a single word: Penis.
I think I'll refrain from further speculation, as I have a nasty habit of unintentionally offending the ladies-who-love-ladies.
OK, you need to just calm down, buddy. If you're going to degrade into irrational rants, I'm going to stop talking to you.
In this case it *is* an aspect of a nanny state.
I disagree; please expound on how safety education is tantamount to fascism.
You want others to help you with the problem *you* brought upon *yourself*.
What problem? The problem of people who don't understand how dangerous guns can be accidentally shooting people?
Hate to break this to you, but that's not my problem. Where I come from, and the family I grew up in, we all have a healthy respect for firearms and the responsibility of using and storing them properly. I'm just trying to show a little compassion here, a concept you seem to have trouble understanding.
I'm sorry, I don't give a flying fuck about people and their kids shooting themselves in the face, because they don't know how to handle a gun. You bought a gun, you deal with it. I'm not paying for your hobbies. Period.
Ah, I see your angle now - you don't care about safety or education, all you care about is where your tax dollars go.
Well, dude, I for one don't much care for my tax dollars being spent on murduring children in third-world countries, but as you well know we don't get much say in such matters. Personally I'd rather spend a few bucks teaching people how to not shoot each other accidentally, than thousands of bucks on 4' long caskets. To each his own, I suppose.
My only concern if bullets flying *outside* of your private property.
Unless "outside your private property" means "inside my private property," I don't see how, according to the philosophy you've posited here, it's any of your fucking business.
You're assuming that was said with noble intent; I'm assuming it was said with the Blue Code of Silence in mind.
Both of us are making an assumption, but I feel mine to be more accurate due to extensive history of bad cops covering for each other.
The two quotes (His and your "fixed" version) aren't incompatible at all.
They are if you take context into consideration: FBI Ass. D.I.C. George V. was implying that police should never be considered suspect; OP was implying that police should always be considered suspect.
Context -it fucking matters.
> Once again, a woman is to blame. It's usually either that, or money.
It's all, all of it, about women. Every male congressman, every president, every mayor, dictator, mafia boss or lackey, all of it.
Even meek scientists are driven by internal desires to excede, tied to alpha male behavior and feathering one's nest.
Even downmods here, of the "I disagree!" butthurt type, are males defending their online social tribal group, subconsciously, you guessed it! Feathering their mental emotional nest to appear more alpha, like some bushman coming proudly back to camp with a warthog on his spear.
So... gay dudes have no motivations?
Public-restroom-foot-tapping-congressmen may disagree (but not publicly, lordy no).
Don't feed the trolls, geez.
Sadly, I'm fairly certain AC wasn't trolling - he actually believes that shit.
Once again, a woman is to blame. It's usually either that, or money.
The reason for the digital snooping appeared to be personal, law enforcement officials said: Detective Vargas, 42, suspected a former girlfriend — also an employee of the Police Department, an official said — had started a new relationship with a fellow officer.
So... it's the woman's fault that the pig she dumped turned out to be a stalker?
Wow. Just.... just wow.
Probably the same researchers who recently discovered that babies learn through mimicry...
