oh this one is funny! did i get that right? i will have to pay google this moneystuff to create even more market research data for them? (because as the survey is done on their site the data will end up on their servers)

well, call me a greedy bastard, but in my opinion they would have to pay me, would't they?

once i saw a talk of two tor hackers on youtube explaining that if they make mistakes people may die. this was goosefleshing. i think working for tor really is "hacking for hombres". may the source be with you, guys!

what about combining karma on new submissions with the karma on comments?

as long as one cannot eat knowledge you're always only talking to a fraction of mankind. same with medicin, fresh water, cloths, housing, energy, transportation, reading, writing and on and on. i think that there's only minor interest in knowledge if you are hungry, cold or being robbed for your OLPC. so first things first.

for example, in my spare time i repair old computers and give them to poor kids because i believe passionately in the neccessity for kids to learn things about/with computers. then i pray that their parents will not sell the damn thing to buy food or pay debts but it happens all the time - 70%. then they tell me it was stolen or sth, because they are ashamed. nevertheless i continue my path.

there is no boom-bang-revolution-thingie, only millions of small boring exhausting steps towards changing sth at all.

the dragonbook is never more than an armlength away from my screen. love the idea.

since i "cancelled" my FB account 15 months ago i miss nothing.

agreed, but it does not need to be included either because they simply do it already.

i would even be happy with 10 years.

yes, that's the spirit and i love the idea that those kids won't have to pay 1,200 bucks for their first rig.

some learn to hack and to code, others verify and quantify. sounds pretty natural, doesn't it?

yawn its not bout test scores but about hacking. getting the kids a chance to learn how computers work how to code and how to use a computer - that is the point of the olpc. i dislike this "standardized-tests-for-the-whole-world-globalist-mumbojumbo". let those kids enjoy and discover their new boxes, shut-up, wait ... and stop demanding results.

No

Yes

I can't think with 60 or 100 other people in the same room, so if you want the job done, give me my own office or give me my home office or give me head!

propaganda, fear, technical ignorance, prevention-mania and centralistic tendencies lead to such legisation. i'm ashamed to be a eu citizen.

started in 1985 with basic and asm. i think we are old;)

i hope joe pesci plays woz!

well, the rabbit hole goes really very deep so there are many directions to head for, but i think the most important things to develop are infinite curiosity and an addiction to solving problems. qapla'!

no no, i will not enter this discussion, because time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana;) (btw. you can always take a FS, modify it and keep it completly to yourself, so all FS licenses allow you not to share)

fully agreed. sorry to correct you, but it's the "free software movement" or "FOSS" and it's not a communist system. not even with a small "c", because communist systems force you to share, FS allows you to share.

to me all this stuff seems a bit overcoincidental, but i am tired of talking about. few months ago i joined the freedombox-project (http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox) - now i vote by coding.

scary...

great stuff, but my cputemp is in the clouds

holy sh*t!

correcto!

i'm too paranoid for chrome. stay with da fox.

may st. ignucius bless your servers!
