The problem is that misogyny is seen as offensive where misandry is treated as non-offensive and acceptable behavior for women to have:-/ Whereas it should either be both unacceptable or both acceptable.
As a potential customer, I want to know the reason for a provider's behavior. It is a rather basic enterprise's communication 101 teaching. To some extend, you can hardly respect a rule you know nothing about. It's just like a State arresting people without any law to back up the arrest. I know, this is a private company, but it does not mean it should not be explicit about this sort of stuff.
It does not absolves. I shall be free to disagree and express my disagreement. I use "shall" as the boundary between negative criticize and libel might be thin.
You are right. GitHub can decide to delete any repo they want, just as Starbuck has the right to forbid me to carry a firearm in their shops. But I also have the right to disagree and to boycott them. When taking a stance, the question is which, and how much customers can you afford to antagonize ?
Could you please pass a law to create a new felony for crying on a plane. All there uneducated babies are really, but really annoying me when I am trying to browse porn sites while in the middle of a transcontinental flight.
This will only works on a small scale. Variation in electricity pricing is not a stable situation and will likely evolve once enough people are practicing this. It might be fun to end up in a high-frequency switching similar to the current high-frequency trading practiced by financial institution.

While I may be paid less, I can gain culture, opinions and opportunities I would not have gained the other way.

As for dying alone don't think I will, all in all, does it really matters ?
Btw, I shall thank you for getting me to take some interest in Ayn Rand. I will have to read much of her stuff. I owe you a beer.
Actually it's my bad. I thought you were talking about French's free university system, and thus only focused by analyse on these. In which case the problem is more on the implementation than on the concept... which is understandable knowing France...
As doubtful as it may turns out I met quite a few people in my travel who are thinking as I do. You are obviously not one of them. The question is whether you can accept difference of opinions. At first sight, you do not. Some would call that narrow mindedness. As I already mentioned, if accomplishing my goal lower your wages, well, too bad for you pal' (and maybe you did not deserve these wages to begin with).
A single guy in Finland is hardly enough to generalize a concept. As for the CUNY, it's also rather difficult to draw any statistical significance compared to the big US universities, cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_university_affiliation. By using your metric, it might be argued that the heavy fee is not detrimental to Nobel prize winner production.
The whole Undetectable Firearm Act has always been a piss in the wind . There is no such things as full polymer/plastic undetectable firearms mainstream firearm. Most of this is pure paranoia following the introduction of Glock pistols, but guess what ? There is plenty of metal part in a Glock, unless of course you believe Die Hard 2 is a reliable source of firearm information. The barrel, the action are mostly metal, that is the parts handling most of the stress. Only the frame and other low stress stressed parts are made of polymer. Even without the UFA, there would be no point in a full polymer firearm, the materials just don't have the strength to handle the stress and pressure of a round going off, not to mention the rifling in the barrel would wear out pretty quick...
This would not be a rational regulation. It merely intend to address the emotional effect caused by uninformed people freaking out about everybody being able to easily manufacture a lethal device. Well, guess what ? building a firearm is already trivial task !
No. You can build whatever unregulated firearms, as long as you do not intend to sell them. AFAIK, you are still bound to respect the NFA, and thus cannot manufacture suppressor, SBR, SBS and full-auto without the proper timestamp. I think that full-auto manufacture is further restricted by Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986.
I am not afraid and live in a perfectly calm and safe neighborhood of Vancouver, country side. But I still keep a shotgun and many fixed blade knives within reach.
"Free university" is a myth. Geniuses do not comes from the universities, but from the very selective realm of the top "engineer school" and alike, which basically requires you to be born from an upper class family to have access to the best high-school, and then so-called "preparatory" school. To this respect, upper class are still going to the best schools, and the mob is going to the under-funded (remember, it's "free"), over-crowded, universities. Oh, and once in a while there is a guy from the mob lucky enough to be part of a "quota" system which get to go to a top school.
I would like to ask you a rather simple question. For this question assume that there is no immigration law, the US government is doing nothing but to protect the security of the people who are paying their taxes.
Why do you believe that American should have the priority in IS job ? To some extend, why should the destiny of a man be predetermined by who his parents were, or where he was born ?
For the sole reason that you are currently privileged, by your birth, in living in a land where I want to live. Go back a few generation, and the simplest thing your ancestor had to do to enter the US was to take a boat. The US is a nation of immigration, build by immigration. I want the same right that your forefather granted the People in the Bill of Rights. I want your privileges. Nation and border as strong as today are a fairly recent concept existing for the sole purpose of keeping the privileges of a group intact. To some extend, it might be argued that the harder and the tougher is the difficulty to join a group, the weaker is that group in that it has become afraid of losing. Though, trust me, I do not want to harm you or your family, but if that is my only way to immigrate to the US, you are in my way.
You are seeing this as a wage problem because you have lost the sight of the privileges you are granted and the plentiful cheap resources you have access to. Being born in the wealthiest country in the world is blurring you vision. You will not see what I saw, you will not lived the ostracism I have lived merely because I did not want to have my ass cleaned and pampered by a centralized bureaucratic Government. I stood up and abnegated my own culture because I longed for something better.
If that can reassure you, I have strictly no legacy in North America, even in Europe. I come from a middle class family which sunk. I was indeed lucky to get my education in Europe, but my MSc is bs. It is a piece of paper which say I am an engineer. By European standard, I was a pretty bad student, not that I did not study a lot, but I wasn't giving a frack about what was taught at school (outdated bs). Yet, I was technically more competent than most of my classmates right out of school.
I am not interested in understanding the U.S., I am interested in living in a land where, as a libertarian and weapons enthusiast (and yes, this include the possibility to conceal carry a handgun), I can be left in peace and not ostracized as I have been in France, and again in Quebec. For the privilege to be left in piece, I am ready to be a whore, even if this end up costing you your job.

The real question is: on which ground, that is, on what T.O.S. did the GitHub team acts upon to disable this repository ?
next source of names for the FBI to put on the no-flight-list: slashdot !
Long distance buses (say, Montreal - New York) can be longer than a transcontinental filght, so your arguments are pretty moot.
Dear Senator Feinstein,
Could you please pass a law to create a new felony for crying on a plane. All there uneducated babies are really, but really annoying me when I am trying to browse porn sites while in the middle of a transcontinental flight.
Kind regards,

AFAIK, there is no iOS equivalent of CryogenicMod ;-)

Because the senate has a sane 60% of the vote rule ? Maybe you should learn how the system work before commenting...

3D printed firearm is a joke. You can build a perfectly safe shotgun for $30 worth of hardware in every Home Depot...
