Did you read the link? Making them paranoid is part of the point. And I didn't say that it does in the first place: the guy I replied to gave a list of results, apparently meaning that they are bad results, and I just said that these would be exactly what Assange wanted according to the linked essay.
No measureable change that has been acknowledged publicly. A lot of government organizations have tightened their grip, though. New security policies, programs that allow and encourage coworkers to report potential security risks, more thorough background checks and monitoring of access to data just to name a few.
I guess its practical application is 30 years away.
Since Monday, when they found it wrong that Ubuntu will address the concerns that the same people had (correctly) demanded for the past year or so? I don't think so.
You know, I just asked a simple question. If you had a point, you would have made it and I might have agreed and learned something.
I don't know why you are posting if you can't stand replies asking you to substantiate wild claims you made based on nothing (as you have demonstrated since),
First of all, this does not answer my question what exactly it is that makes it "need cloud storage" to work. Even if we accept that Ubuntu "pushes" cloud storage, what is it about the desciption that makes you think it would require it?
Never mind that all that Ubuntu does with cloud "storage" is to offer you a 5 GB Ubuntu One account when installing the OS, which you simply can ignore or disable. And even if you are opposed to the Dash search (which also utilizes remote servers, though not for cloud storage) and that's what you actually complained about, I can't see what it is about the description that would make it "need" that, either.
How exactly does it sound as if it needed cloud storage to work?
I don't think there is a lack of shortcuts, in fact I find that Unity has the best and most accessible shortcut system for window management of any UI I've used. Press and hold the Super key for the overview.
I'm really surprised, this story has by far the smallest ratio of irrational Ubuntu hate posts of any Ubuntu story in the past year. This must mean that Shuttleworth is onto something - and in fact I do find it difficult to find major flaws with the stuff he said in TFA. I found the whole idea appealing from the start, and if this plan works out, I'll be the first in line to get an Ubuntu TV, phone, tablet, laptop, and/or whatever I have to buy to finally get seamless free software-based unification for my devices from phone to TV.
Read it again.
You're so predictable, but unfortunately for you, that would only apply to me if he had said "children and adults" rather than just "children."
But I fail to see how that was an appropriate, logical response to my comment. Hopefully it was just a joke, but it's hard to tell over the Internet.
Well yeah it was a joke, but you did act like an 8 year old whose XBox had just been taken away.
do something constructive
Which is subjective. Nice try, though.
Maybe you should go scuba diving.
What concerns me is that the children who play lots of video games have an extremely adverse reaction to any suggestion that they should read, do something constructive, or exercise.
One, it's a burdensome regulation that disinclines me to invest in rental properties in Massachusetts.
I can only see this as a good thing.
