  1. They have been used to stop government spying

    Shirley you're not serious!

    they have been used to force massive multinational companies like Google to respect individual privacy. And those are actual, written and enforced law

    *cough* Now that is funny! Wanna pull the other one?

    I blame Chrome more than Microsoft for starting this mess. Can we just bring back Windows 7?

  5. Can you DMCA text?

    Yes

  6. How are they going to enforce this? The only way to catch them is through illegal hacking or sloppy handling of the data.

    Why should statistics motivate people? You motivate people by paying them more, not by reciting unemployment figures that are really bogus anyway. A job has to be worth your time.

    As long as I haven't done anything illegal...

    You should know better than to think the "nothing to hide" routine is a legitimate argument. Besides the law is a farce, designed to enhance revenue and squash dissent. It can change like the weather.

    Yeah, why did they switch from vertical to horizontal resolution anyway? 4K is really 2K, and so on.

  13. I don't know. Disassembling a Li-Ion battery pack is a little like disarming a bomb. Get some thick plexiglass to protect yourself :-)

    For stationary use, you can't go wrong with NiFe batteries. You just need lots of space, and maybe your own forklift...

    Anyway, keeping the opium pipeline open is worth every penny spent so far... but E-payments would step on some toes, so it hardly seems practical.

    Just another opium war... gotta keep the pipeline open

    If rights need explicitly human protection, they aren't natural. Sorry, but human rights need a human with a gun. A natural right would require no such thing, like gravity for example, when pushed off a cliff, you have the right to fall.

    If rights are given to you by the government, slavery must be OK...

    Ah, but slavery is okay! At least in the US

    "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist..."

    That door is wide open.

    you have a right to move slower than light and increase entropy, and some other things

    Exactly. Those are the only inviolable rights we have. Our man made stuff, like the bill of rights, is more properly termed "essential freedoms", which require constant active maintenance in a sometimes brutal fashion.

    That's what provoked the creation of Firefox (originally conceived as Netscape lite), but they blew it. The application suite runs just as fast as any "pure" browser out there, and it hardly occupies any more space. And with almost 20 years of user interface stability, there's just nothing better. It's not an "alternative", it's the primary, not to be judged by its market share (or lack thereof).

    Firefox sends telemetry data to the EFF

    So, that's where I should the subpoena?

  23. Um, the OS should be doing the sandboxing. In fact, the OS should be on ROM

    Well, Somebody does...
