Mailing lists are terrible in comparison to RSS. If a dearth of mailing lists forces people to move to RSS... Good.RSS has been around for long enough.
Simply because they have the power to do so. If you don't like this state of affairs, the only thing to do is crack it and spread the cracks as far as you can.
a) have no phenomenological existence (like Google)
b) have a phenomenological existence that enjoys the work it has been created to do (like the Ameglian Major Cow at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe)
c) have a phenomenological existence that feels oppressed -- or to use your term, enslaved -- by the work it has been programmed to do.
It seems to me that the distance between options b and c is so small that it is almost worth discounting. When you say that someone is capable of liking something, you imply that they are also capable of disliking it, hating it, wishing to avoid it.
Option a is a hammer, whereas options b and c are a slave with a hammer in his hand. Option b has read the Epistles of Paul and option c just wants to hit you with the hammer.
If option b exists in any way, I would say that it also means that option c exists.
They're just in a difficult situation, then. It seems to me that they are being eminently reasonable about it and deserve respect. If I was DSPAM, I'd just change the package name to dspam and be done with it, since that's an accepted convention, and you may as well be nice when someone else has been.
Anyone who talks about the distinction between technology and art is automatically a technical person. If he was a designer, thinking about technology would be like analyzing the air that he was breathing- it's actually an important thing to do if you care about doing interesting things, but it isn't a distinction, but a process.
OK, so he's an outspoken Player of the Game, as is his entire religion. He heaps abuse upon those that won't play. Fair enough, he's free to pretend he's a fully realized person. I did love his comment about homosexual orientation being a totalitarian master, and then gleefully painting his own religion as one equally totalist!
That's his right, though. And I shall oppose him only when he drags his Necromongers out of space to try to convert me.

Because to do otherwise would leave you with not a whole lot to spend your evenings on.

Sometimes I do smell but I wouldn't ever wear a shirt advertising it.

In other words, "I got no fuckin idea what that means, so I'll just spout off random crap."
So let me get this straight... you don't want anyone knowing what you like? Even though you have a blog?
More like "get a complimentary OS X toaster with your purchase if you call in the next 35 seconds!"
To be even clearer, the EMH might:
a) have no phenomenological existence (like Google)
b) have a phenomenological existence that enjoys the work it has been created to do (like the Ameglian Major Cow at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe)
c) have a phenomenological existence that feels oppressed -- or to use your term, enslaved -- by the work it has been programmed to do.

That's why my loyalty card is in the name of Karl Marx.
If he doesn't like being called a Republican, he shouldn't have joined the Republican party.
If he is ashamed of his party affiliation, there are many to choose from.
You got it.
It's like any other transaction, it's based heavily on the reputation of both the buyer and seller.
I usually hate these games, but Burnout was some serious business.

Or maybe these techniques are letting musicians dial in to what we culturally desire most in terms of music.
If Bachelor Chow has all the essential needs for life, who are you to disparage it?
Crichton writes amazing potboilers, but I'd go elsewhere for science. It's like going to Tom Clancy for foreign policy or Stephen King for religion.

I got to the second chapter and as soon as the preaching started, I closed that browser window like a ninja.

Just say it straight, please, although I know that is too much to ask of you.
I'll stick to Lemony Snicket, thanks.
When you have a lot of people backing you up you never have to explain a thing.

Actually, ask any herpetologist, the toad will quite readily jump out of the pot when it gets hot enough.
