I wouldn't have thought that releasing an Android phone counts as competing with Google. It may be heavily modified for Facebook usage, but somewhere along the line, Google will still be making money from it, yes?.
I know you're joking, but I really wouldn't put it past them. The world has seen greed turn a profit on suffering before, and I really wouldn't be surprised if something came about to hinder the development or application of a cure, if one is ever reached.
has gradually changed from a company that says "we'll make this useful product because no one else will make it the way you need it", into a company that says "we're making it the way we want and you'll have to like it".
How many other companies have gone down this road? They start as the cool new company who makes things for the user, and slowly grow into a company that tries to dictate what the user needs.
Maybe not, but if someone tries to photograph me, I'm allowed to turn my head away, no? There may be no right to not being photographed, but I sure as hell don't have to pose for a photo if I don't want to.
What's the difference? If you self-host and the government wants access to your data, couldn't they just subpoena you anyway? Either way, it seems like if they want your data, they're going to get it.
"but [the draft] goes no further in attempting to clarify what 'tools' might be subject to criminal sanctions".
Why would it? By leaving it open ended, they're free to enforce the ban whenever they feel it's fitting for them; picking and choosing any "offending" software when they feel it's warranted.
. . . who hates acronyms that were obviously created before picking the words that the letters stand for? I mean, really. At this point, why bother with an acronym? You might as well just give the damn thing a real name.

What happened to HBO calling Game of Thrones piracy a compliment?
Yeah, I know. It just made me think of that line from the Matrix. Like why Neo can beat Smith. Anyway, that was my lame attempt at humour.
Its strength and its speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, it will never be as strong, or as fast, as we can be.
I never considered the two to be mutually exclusive.
Oh, I wouldn't say that nobody complains about workers being exploited. Oblig

Oh, preview button. Again I overlook your "valuve".
would waste valuvable coding time by going to a par . . . ty? Am I saying that correctly?
Try taking on a personal project, or get involved in an existing open source project that you find interesting.
Hear, hear!
I don't hate them. I just don't want a GUI on my PC that looks like it's supposed to be for a tablet or a phone.
Skyfire does it, too.

I remember when Microsoft used to be cool.
Is there really nothing on it that they can reuse, like those giant solar panels?

THEN! YOU'RE! FUCK! Are you really someone to be ragging on another person's incompetencies?
