You are making arbitrary restrictions on what end-users really want. Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. But the argument could be made that end users don't really care about (insert software freedom here).
It's perfectly reasonable for me, as both an end-user and sysadmin that uses Drupal to see a feature enhanced version of Drupal, and to want to play with the source, see the source, alter the source, learn, and improve upon what someone else has done. The AGPL promises that ability. This is at the very least arguably in the spirit of the GPL, and most certainly not against it's spirit. The GPL is about empowering users, not harming distributers. End users are arguably important. I'm perfectly happy to use a 3rd party web service and rely on their availability, as long as can get my data, and most of my meta data out of it.
Yes, open source software for websites is a disaster for security. Wait, never mind, the stuff that people will know is fine to share.
As for your other complaints of the AGPL I would say that it is debatable. What does it mean to "use" a web application. The AGPL says that it is to use it as an end-user, the GPL treats it as an installer basically. Do I use slashcode by posting this comment? or is it when I set-up a website built with it that I become a user? The GPL was meant to protect users (recipients of the distribution).
Except I'm willing to bet most often things that read out "kg" are actually measuring the force of 1kg at gravitational acceleration at sea level, and the buoyancy of 1atm.
I could be wrong, but I think most transactions work this way (spring loaded scales), and bathroom scales.
I believe there are a lot of people such as yourself, I highly doubt it is 15% of the population (I inserted the word population ITFS and used it to mean adult population).
Yes, 3 years is six point releases so, 4.9 (current) -.6 = 4.3.
4.4 = first usable release. I'd call it RC quality. 4.5 = what should of been.0 (2 years ag, Plasma would still crash some, but less than Win95 or 98SE, may have been my graphics) 4.6 = stable and functions really working When they did the update for OpenGL ES it really got smoother, with less visual artifacts (this video shows what I mean by visual artifacts at 00:35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPIgEFIv5MI) Based on the date, that video is 4.3 or 4.4 I'm guessing.
Most (10 of 19) of those apply to me for work (and some for vacation). I can't possibly be that unique of a business traveler (I imagine a large percentage of the people I work with are similar).
And yes, if seeing Linux when checking my laptop at security (it's been a while since I've been somewhere that required me to turn it on though) rose suspicion, I'd be on that list too.
I personally don't see what POP3 has to do with anything nefarious, so I can't say if it is server volume or email volume that leads to nefarious use (if any).
Based on the fact that they are allowing clear text POP (based on the comments here), I really see no purpose at all to blocking self-signed certs, I was just trying to point out that the math on small fees works sometimes, and yes, this is fixed WRT to per an email, but not WRT per a server.
I don't know what the price is, or really why it's needed (I don't see how a self-signed cert is a problem in this context, as long as it flags a changed cert), but I can completely see how a trivial price could thwart nefarous behavior without interfering with legitimate behavior.
If it cost $.001 to send a email, I bet we'd see a lot less spam (I'd probably receive less updates I want too, or need to subscribe to a lot more RSS).
I had 2 Dell Inspirons ages ago. The power jack was the weak point on both. Granted, they were 17 inch monstrosities, and the were probably tugged by the power cord more than a few times, but both started to fail at the same time.
Pretty sure it's there the first time you use location, and use maps.
Been a while since I activated a phone, but it was quite shoved in my face from memory.
If you turn on keep a travel log or whatnot, then I assume it's one maps or no. Otherwise I have assumed only when maps.
Also, lots of cities have traffic cams now, so I assume that info can be subscribed to (trafax for example used to sell to radio stations). Believe it or not, traffic data was available before smartphones, I bet Google could scrape sites and use it quite competently, I mean they get weather data, right?

Not much has been happening in art, literature, or philosophy over that time.
Are you kidding?
I don't know what you mean, is there a WYSIWYG editor on /.?
the code option looks new to me, but the other three are the same as from as long as I remember.
I'm counting on the same people that make the Ubuntu TVs.
Actually 'o' vs 'i' and '.' vs ' ' are much more phone problems for me than keyboard.

I hit it accidebtly often enough that o don't want a do something button there (including caps lock), would much prefer a modifyer key.
I assume the search button is a do.something button though.
I believe there are a lot of people such as yourself, I highly doubt it is 15% of the population (I inserted the word population ITFS and used it to mean adult population).
I think Dmitry Sklyarov (PDF decrypting software, arrested in US for work done in Russia when going to a conference) worked for them.
Exactly, I wish people understood where the word "University" came from.
I also wish "Universities" took it more seriously.
How's the battery?
My TI-85 and HP-48 both lasted months (if memory serves) of hours of daily use.
Yes, 3 years is six point releases so, 4.9 (current) - .6 = 4.3.
4.4 = first usable release. I'd call it RC quality. .0 (2 years ag, Plasma would still crash some, but less than Win95 or 98SE, may have been my graphics)
4.5 = what should of been
4.6 = stable and functions really working

I will add that I love their sidebar docking, floating, tabbing, etc (see Eric IDE for a good example).
Eric makes use of QScintilla.
Even worse, I don't know what "C++" or "project mean"!
Share as in Market Share, not shares as in Share Price.
Not really.
I can completely see Linux going on a DHS list similar to: http://publicintelligence.net/dhs-fbi-suspicious-hotel-guests/

Fair enough, I should of said reliable 14.4k with under quarter second latency.
Agreed, the one time I paid for it it wasn't worth the $5 for the flight.
I would have loved to pay $20 for modem speeds for context.
They either need to charge more, so that it's less shared (and stop making it free for frequent fliers (who fill a lot of the vessel), and/or upgrade.
Also, latency was terrible when I had any connectivity at all (seconds), I assume this is a signal issue and resending to ground a lot.
I bet windows 95 is pretty secure again, though links may give a more up to date internet experience
But they could randomize the domain of the proxies, and email each one to a subset of customers, then they wouldn't all get blocked.
