Trust me, EU politicians are already quite interested in eroding your freedoms. This may be extra encouragement, but it's not exactly starting the fire.
I don't think you understand human nature. Greed is human nature, and it's not a problem. My point is that it's perfectly natural, and that society exists to keep extreme cases that cause widespread damage in check.
I see your points, and think I definitely think they're worth discussion. My only real grip is the tack of deviating from the topic at hand to make a statement about an unrelated nation's issues.
Troll? Fine, somebody please explain to me how prosecuting Google employees for providing a service that anybody can use to upload videos, and complying with police requests for assistance after the authorities bothered to use the correct contact channels is anything but completely insane.
The kids involved are the guilty parties; maybe someone should go arrest their parents for failing to raise them properly. Oh, the parents aren't responsible for watching their kids 24 hours a day? Well, it isn't Google's responsibility to take their place.
Saying another nation isn't perfect contributes absolutely nothing to the discussion at hand. This is a common, juvenile attempt to misdirect attention.
You know, with Germany talking about making Google Analytics illegal and now this crap, I'm rapidly losing my patience with those who keep running on about how Europe is such a free place.
You absolutely WRONG. I suppose you haven't heard of the Safe Habor program. Please educate yourself before posting any additional comments on this matter.
As a general rule, "1.0" doesn't really hold a lot of significance in the open source community with regard to actual usefulness. A heck of a lot of the (very stable) stuff I use is < 1.0.
I must dispute your view in the strongest terms possible. Internet Explorer is perfectly safe for everyday use. However, as there is no such thing as perfect security, you must take additional precautions to keep evil hackers away from your data. Apply these rules according to the sensitivity of your data, from least important to most:
Disconnect your computer from your local network. Download files on another computer, scan them for viruses, print them out, scan them into your Windows PC using ORC software, and then view the pages in IE.
Do the above, but have a priest onsite to bless each page individually before scanning it. This is an excellent deterrent against viruses with the word "demon" in the name.
Do the above, but encase your PC in acrylic and immerse it in a 10,000 gallon tank of holy water. Interact with it while wearing scuba gear.
Do the above, but put a lid on the tank and immerse it in the ocean. Interact with your PC via a submersible robot in the tank from from outside while wearing scuba gear.
If you fail to follow these simple security guidelines, you can't blame Microsoft for the results.
Part of me wonders if perhaps these vulnerabilities aren't being made a big deal of because of the reputation of IE6. The rest of me which started using Firefox a long time ago just feels smug and superior.
Dude, cutting yourself in half over a web browser seems a little extreme.

This has something to do with it. I'm all for capitalism and competition, but sometimes people get a little out of hand.
Unfortunately the parent is spending $12,000 a month to support his eBay business ;).
They gave me my money back AND let me keep the course. That really surprised me.
Given their high profile, displaying a desire to avoid criminal prosecution really shouldn't come as a surprise.
Damnit, I live in Jersey, and I absolutely object to ...
Shit, I haven't received this month's shill check from the governor's office yet, never mind.
Don't worry, he charges an artificially high S&H fee for the first one, too.
Are you aware that the Internet is more than the Web?
We don't want them, we didn't ask for them.
Well, don't we sound bitter? You may not have asked for anything, but your elected officials sure did.
That isn't limited to a proprietary implementation.

If only for the improvements to ZFS I'll give it a shot.

Sounds an awful lot like how the music industry handles lawsuits.
I suppose I could read the paper.
I think you might be on to something here.
Good points :).
