If a company is generating massive revenues from a dominant product (in this case web search advertising), using that revenue to fund development of a free product in another market can be viewed as an anticompetitive abuse of monopoly position.
So your saying that if I have funds to roll out a product, its unfair towards companies that don't have same amount of funds?
Generally BS - there always is economic justification in not cooking consumers that drive the economy. The same as there is economic sense in having seven children - in many parts of China, children are a form of retirement pension, well worth the fifteen years investment in food, as they will be repaying you back for the next thirty.
Short term investments in greener production can result in long term profits by not killing the planet, flooding Sahara, blowing up the sun or whatever the Greens have to say today.
Not to mention the consumerist value of the greenhouse effect - buy new, buy green! Buy a Mac that produces 15% less greenhouse gases and save the planet.
Well, that is, if the greenhouse effect is true.
IPpredator.se and anonine.se. Both from the freedom loving land of Sweden. You get SSL and PPTP with 2048kb or 128kb encryption (IPredator supports PPTP only IIRC).
The ultimate Linux distro for the semi-poweruser. Its more bleeding edge then Fedora, more solid/stable then Ubuntu (not Debian level, no sir, but close enough for desktop use), with AUR - giant software repositories (stuff Fedora didn't hear of, one click away... or command) and last, but not least, best community anywhere.
But be prepared to to spend your free weekend to set it, and polish, it up as it pretty much requires you to fit everything by hand, and then trim it to your liking.
...but won't SOPA/PIPA work both ways? Won't MAFIAA online distribution channels be affected as well? I could place my copyrighted work somewhere in comment/review section of their sitesand then cite PIPA to take the online store offline.
I'm assuming that according to SOPA/PIPA, site owner is still accountable for what user posts.
They're anything but batshit crazy. They're simply not bound by the most common moral standards. With lacking moral compass, lots of money and simple goals you can do anything you want that, even remotely, can be justified within current laws.
It's just a business model.
In case you're wondering - that's in Poland, and we've got 1 Gbit consumer lines too
Not for everyday Joe, but I personally feel much better on every public network.
...the american system.
How is it possible, that you can publicly 'donate' money to a representative supporting your cause. IMHO political offices should be state funded.
I personally use evorack hosts - absolutely superb support, very decent specs/price ratio and they use Xen which is a must-have for some.
* Stability in desktop environments (Windows Aero/OS X/KDE/Gnome)
First off, you would need to check how often GDM/KDM crashes without GFX...
Facebook is not schoolyard where you can angrily call your teacher names.
As my professor said, we live in a dangerous times - being called a pedophile by a 13 yo student of yours, especially via a as permanent medium as the internet is can make your life hell.
Of course lets not get hysteric here - kids are kids and they do stupid things and most of them will get screened in time and forgotten. But once in a while you hear of a guy who was accused of rape and promptly lynched by angry mob. And all because some kid got an F and told his parents that he was raped and then blackmailed with bad grades not to tell anyone.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. -- Thomas Jefferson
