As much as I love the idea of the Web as it once was - an open platform allowing people to exchange ideas regardless of gender, race, social status, handicap and so on - with the rising popularity of the web this was bound to happen. Call me a cynic, but most people are happy to sacrifice their privacy, integrity and what not for just a little bit of shiny or simplicity. "Everyone else is doing it, so what could possibly go wrong?" This is really not a problem with the Web as such but with people in general, and to think the Web could somehow be different from the people that populate it is pretty naive (although one could of course wish..)
People prefer simplicity over privacy, and will gladly give up some of their freedom rather than having to learn something new.
Conformity seems hard coded in most people.
But for the benefit of anybody happening upon this post, yes, they are Nazis:
It won't be long before Sweden Democrats show true anti-Semitic nature.
From your link:
The SD did not include any anti-Semitic messages in its platform. On the contrary, it has two Jewish members among its top ranks and has actually come out in support of Israel at times.
Seriously, that's the best you can manage to come up with? One would hope for some evidence of your claims since you apparently feel entitled to judge for others.
Nazis? They are actually more Israel friendly than most established parties, and one of their MP:s is jewish.
While their ideological platform is built mainly on restricting immigration, that hardly qualifies as nazism. And joke votes are hardly a sign of apathy. If you really need to point fingers, why not aim them at the ~18% of the population that didn't vote at all? Get your facts straight.
We should also mention that the control software for the AR.Drone is Open Source; while it only currently runs on the iPhone and iPod Touch, versions for Android and other devices should be forthcoming.
Well, at least I'm going to get a free iPhone out of it, or so I've heard.
And that will make you popular!
Because they are formed as a film between two wires, they don't have to be implanted into the silicon surface — as do transistors, which form the storage locations in Flash — so they could be built in layers in 3D
Cool, but will they require special glasses?
Does the US military make a difference regarding the sex of the "victim"? Or are the cases you mention just as valid if it's a soldier wife and a drunk husband?
But of course there are a lot of laws which are written in one way and interpreted in another, or not actually implemented at all. And that's probably a good thing.
In Sweden everything that a woman can find offensive is a molestation charge. And if they have consentual sex while mutually pissing drunk, then it's rape.
Umm, I've never even heard of a woman filing molestation charges for just being "offended". Where did you get that from?
And I've had consensual sex (yeah, this is
This is more or less the consequences of senior socialist politicians getting too much power, enabling them to take their reality-detached feminist education pet projects too far. The swedish political system is similar to the US. In the us you either chose between the elephant right wing or the donkey right wing. In sweden you chose between the blue socialists or the red socialists, though of course, the red socialists have had two decades in power so they've been able to entrench the country with their north korean style indoctrination for a while now so things are even more stagnated.
As a liberal I'm inclined to agree to a certain extent, but "north korean style indoctrination"? Geez, let's get some perspective.
Why would a black box need to use cloud computing or mesh networks?
Just because new technologies have emerged doesn't mean they are necessarily applicable in all areas of computing. My knowledge in this field is limited, but I just don't see the point of a twittering black box, or whatever web 2.0 meme is the flavor of the day.
