Comment Icann and other various corruption (Score 2) 126
Re: Icann, the M$ monopoly, Digital Millenium
Copyright Act, software patent stupidity, the whole DeCss mess.., M$ password backdoors in IE, govt towing the line with spammers and data collectors, politicians for sale to the highest bidder, the napster mess.., H1Bs, NSA cryptokeys
in M$ windows (plus a myrid of other 'call home to papa spyware in it')...etc..etc... it just goes on and on and on..
Is it just me, or does it seem, that '1984' is looking more and more real every day and the govt. has entirely sold us out to the highest corporate bidder. It is like we need an 'open source' GPL political party that is tech savvy, and not sold out to the highest bidder.. If napster could grow to such a force.. why not this?
Is it just me, or is it really that the 'system' has gone corrupt broken beyond repair, and we have to do sometime... all my rights have been trampled on, packaged, and sold to the highest bidding company, and highest bribe (and usually) clueless politician...
What to do? Riot with the Seattlers? start a new internet based grassroots political party?
[actually I am not an anarchist or anything, just a normal guy.. but what I have seen happen, especially in the last year or so, re: the above.. is just truly astonishing... ordinary people have just entirely lost control..]
Re: 1984... with all the M$ backdoors and hacks, I wouldn't be surprised that after we all 'register WinME' with our names & addresses, that Gates could type in our code, and turn on our mic on our PC, and listen/see what we were doing right now... or another one to paralyze all win PCs (watch your heads, there comes the ISS!)... its like 1984, and Lex Luthor all rolled into one...
Maybe I am being paranoid... but somehow I dont think so... it is all starting to get scary.. all this PC internet technology snooping, selling, probing, backdooring, rolled in with corporate greed and political bribes and back room deals..
Opinions anyone? Does this merit its own slashdot topic, as I am surprised it hasn't been discussed yet...
