Comment Freedom (Score 1) 512

"Freedom of speech". Few words, lots of meaning.

In my cheese's eaters country, this words imply that anyone can have / express any opinions, till their expression doesn't directly harm anyone else.

No one, in my country, could force anyone (muslims, jews, etc.) to read (and buy...) any newspaper.

Charlie has opinions and publishes them freely, it's a normal thing.

No one can decide which opinion anyone else should have, it's also a normal thing.

The murders are trying to force a prohibition on our society, on their sole purpose. They want impose which opinion should be allowed or not.

I'm surprised to see that this simple freedom principle isn't admitted in U.S.

I'll just buy the next Charlie's numero, even if i'm not on their ideological side. They can kill journalists, but the ideas and opinions can't be killed.

I reiterate: What we need is for ISPs to block packets originating from their network that that don't have correct return IP addresses;

Imho, in the case of an UDP RDDoS, it seems unfeasable to me. In a nowaday common ISP, networks are very very intricated and the cost to decide for each datagram if we've a valid OIP is far too heavy, and that's maybe impossible if not dangerous with a living network.

Requiring future employees Facebook profiles access is just dumb.

Job seekers just have to make one more profile (preferably when registering the first time), a fake, neutral profile (name.firstname instead of firstname.name, etc.). I bet one day you 'll find specialized services for maintening fake/neutral profiles. Facial recognition should not be a trouble with "adequates" shooped profile pictures.

Submission + - P2P Ruled as "Completely Neutral" in Spain (publico.es)

Sir Mal Fet writes: In line with previous rulings discussed here, a judge in spain has ruled that P2P technologies are "completely neutral" (original in spanish ; Google translation ), thus dismissing a lawsuit originated in 2008 from the Spanish Association of Musical Producers (Promusicae), Warner, EMI, and Sony suing Pablo Soto, a spanish man who created the Blubster, MP2P y Piolet programs to share files. The labels demanded 13 million euros in damages arguing that the mere existence and distribution of P2P technologies violated copyright, but the ruling stated the technology itself was neutral, so the creator could not be held responsible for how the software was used, and demanded that they pay for legal expenses. Promusicae said it was going to appeal the ruling.

The talent of this man has a major part in what has made our world today.

His contribution was essential and it is perceptible throughout the world today.

He deserves all the honors, if not more, than a talented salesman gadget.
