Get your own internet. If you're going to use what the school is giving you then you have to deal with their network restrictions. With what your parents are paying for you to attend college you shouldn't put their money at risk circumventing network security at the school. Buy your own internet access if you want to fark around.

Was it ever your decision to make it open source? This sounds like work product to me, which means your previous employers owns it. Unless you have something in your contract that states you retain ownership of your code, it is theirs to do what they please with. Get over it.

If he's selling insurance he's contributing to society. He's generating jobs and tax dollars. That's what we need.

Just think how many people have jobs because of it. But yeah, I get your point. It would make more sense for everyone if we further curtailed speech and laid off a bunch of IT guys.

It's pretty simple to filter and it doesn't "strain" the net. I don't think I've gotten more than one spam email a week for the past few years and my email address is all over the internet. It's a non-issue people like to make into an issue.

Unfortunately its troll mentality turned towards civics... Where the techie crowd was once the first to rise to the defense of free speech, lately the trolls have taken over and want to regulate speech in all forms.

Yeah... no more troublesome free speech! Won't everything be so much nicer when all speech is regulated?

Seriously, who greenlighted this article? How in the world did this self serving pile of crap make it through moderation?

That is one messed up website...

This has been floating around the debian-sparc mailing list all day... there seems to be quite a few pissed off users...

I suppose that if the Debian devels are pig headed enough to have a meeting like this without inviting anyone from the sparc community, it really says something about what users they care about.

I've been saying for years that Debian/GNU is _the_ Server OS. A look at the proposed Arch support would leave one to believe that they want to re-vector themselves as _the_ desktop os.

The slow and steady release schedule that debian has stuck to is great for server and other enterprise uses but does leave a bit to be desired for the desktop, look at the void being filled by ubuntu, progeny and mepis on the desktop.

I suppose I knew this day was coming, #gentoo-sparc currently is a better source of tech support than #debian-sparc is on freenode....

I really didnt want to switch to gentoo, but unless I want to go the BSD route that seems to be the only viable option.

Can someone send me a 4x5" gentoo sticker that I can use to cover the red swirl sticker on my truck?
