It does look like an interesting browser, though there are two issues that would make me leery about using it if I was trying to be completely secure:
1) Encrypted tunnels. There seems to be rumors floating around that the NSA in particular is capable of breaking encryption.
2) It appears, from looking at your datasheet, that some form of metadata is persisted in the cloud.
Reporting
– Intuitive dashboard reports on browsing activity,
various security events and alarms, and top trends in users
and groups.
Unless this data collection could be completely turned off by the user, I would not consider this to be perfectly safe, because, as you said, you have to comply with warrants. And even if it was turned off, who's to say that it can't be turned back on, without notification to the user, again by a warrant?
Though I suppose the second could be avoided by purchasing a Spike Appliance, but then again, that's trusting a "black box" server with all your traffic. If the server itself was made open source it would be a lot safer but that would take away your revenue stream so there's little chance that will happen.
So reading this little thread here I'm a little confused. How come ArcherB is being modded flamebait but mvdwege gets informative? They're both flamebait as far as I can tell..
I used to watch Beck (though this was three years ago, I imagine he's gotten a little crazier since). I have to say I did agree with a lot of his points, mostly concerning the constitution. I mostly stopped watching when he started saying that we needed to get the country back to religious roots.
Actually a fat nerdy neckbeard probably would know something like that. I met quite a few people who fit the stereotype in college and wow did they know some random useless things...
Now, when Romney was asked "Isn't it the government's responsibility to provide health care to the fifty million people who don't have it today?" he answered, "“Well, we do provide care for people who don’t have insurance. If someone has a heart attack, they don’t sit in their apartment and — and die. We pick them up in an ambulance, and take them to the hospital, and give them care." Now that was a f**cking moronic answer, and he deserves to be mocked for it.
Why was that a moronic answer? I'm sure the reason is apparent but for the life of me I'm unable to see it...
I don't think anyone has ever gotten liver failure from playing Angry Birds. Then again people have died playing video games so I could be wrong about that.
Considering that most of the major tech companies use Linux servers, I suspect that such a bill would not go very far. Then again, if it did succeed, expect to see a mass exodus of most major tech companies from this country. I imagine our economy wouldn't fare so well if that happened.
Then again, I've never failed to be surprised at how stupid people can be...
"Recommend" does not mean "has power over". He can tell them when to meet and when not to meet, and give suggestions. He can't tell them "this is the law you will pass now".
Problem is, no one wants to be the guy who said "aw this is just a joke, he won't bomb the airport", and then it turns out that it wasn't a joke. Yes, you're gonna be right most of the time, but the one time you're wrong.. You're going to be in a lot of trouble.
I highly doubt that Rihanna is a better singer then whoever else you mentioned. But that's not the point the point. People know her, and that is what matters. Hell it's even in the dictionary definition:
rock star
noun
a famous singer of rock music
The keyword there is famous
Hence a rock-star programmer would be someone that everyone knows. And hell, it might not even be that they're famous world-wide. Maybe it's just the guy in your company that everyone goes to because he does high quality work.
The gun has to be that old. This is because the law was passed in or around 1986 and cannot apply retroactively to weapons made before it was in existence. At least that's my understanding, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

While you have a point, I'd note that for people stuck in rush hour traffic, the average speed is usually lower then the posted speed limit anyway.
What is Minecraft, in its current state, worth if you were to value it on a per-hours-played basis?
I'm pretty sure I'd be bankrupt... I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be alone.
They elected Obama knowing he was in favor of immunity for telcos that illegally tapped our phones in 2008.
I find it hard to believe that the majority of the voting population knew (or cared even if they did know) about this.

Let me guess: you are one of the new breed of brogrammers that think Java and C# are real languages.
I know you're just trolling, but I am curious to know: What is it you think that prevents Java and C# from being real languages?

Bollocks. The USA is not even close to being as polite as Belgium.
Then the US obviously doesn't have enough guns yet! /sarcasm
You know I hadn't really thought of it that way. And you're right, I don't think I'd trust most of the people I meet with a deadly weapon...

You were doing so well up until that last line... Oh well.

That's not a bad idea actually....
I would watch the shit out of that.
Thanks! I really should watch that movie again. I've apparently forgotten most of the good parts!
Were there any other major quotes? That's the only memorable line I got out of that movie (though it's been a while since I've watched it)
"Recommend" does not mean "has power over". He can tell them when to meet and when not to meet, and give suggestions. He can't tell them "this is the law you will pass now".
As I recall, that almost happened in the US this past summer.
Well bear in mind that saying the PAC funds Obama is not the same as saying they fund ONLY Obama. :D)

Wait I'm confused. So who pays for it then? Or are you saying you do have a right to access health care that you pay for?
