sorry, europe calling. don't trivialize. us hate has way more serious roots, it isn't for what retarded psychos like this one you respond to may spew on internet. how do you know he is an us citizen at all? dipshits like this are everywhere.
Snowden isn't some harmless guy "just doing his thing." He committed crimes that carry the death penalty. Snowden screwed America and its citizens, much of Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, even if you don't recognize it, or even cheer him for it.
he just publicly showed proof of how rotten government is in america and much of europe. it's those governments who screwed their citizens.
if you believe this deserves death penalty _for_the_messager_ then you are the traitor, but more than that you are a sick piece of shit.
while there are so many medieval crazies running around alternately shouting Hallelujah, Death To The Great Satan and beheading followers and non-believers alike, the Patriot Act will stay.
isn't that why they produced those medieval crazies in the first place, and why they're producing more of them by the minute?
not at all. the content of course is disclosed, that's just ok or else it would be encrypted.
however your use of the content is private matter too. that's as safe as it could be on local storage if using a respectful client. of course this includes also your full contact list, your habits, location and probably system and device information, if not more. this is inevitably leaked with any imaginable online client, and if you also choose gmail that's an explicit statement that privacy means shit to you. note: your's and your contact's.
just saying, not wanting to argue or playing right-minded. i just can't get used to the way people boldly dismiss this issue, as if it made it nonexistent. the fact that lots of people tend to do will have have far reaching impact on society, already has. people should be made aware, not misinformed. then they can do as they please, and of course take responsibility.
no, it's not viable as a heavy duty editor yet, by far. however it's remarkable that such apps are at all possible grinding the dom in a browser. the setup for desktop integration is awkward, but keep in mind that this is a pure standard html webapp. you can easily embed that thing in any webpage to be used in any browser, considering this fact both functionality and performance are quite remarkable.
oh, and i'm afraid you don't know anything about javascript, but better don't ask those "fellow javascripters" of yours!:) no pressing either, atom will probably come and go, but you will be hearing A LOT about javascript/ecmascript in the future.
see, it's easy to tell what the average user does. it's also easy to make a fool of oneself trying to guess what a particular stranger on the net does, like you just did.
but anyway your conclusion seems to be that since we both use cotton and microelectronics in some way we both should use windows? or that voting one mafia over the other will bring us... wait a minute, this is gorgeous... "control over our lives"? and, hey! we get to complain as a bonus! no shit!
hehe, hilarious. too bad you didn't like my propaganda. yours was spot on.
Gnome and Unity are almost as dumb as their commercial counterparts).
the good thing about gnome3/unity is that it provides an excellent oportunity to realize you don't need it. nor gnome. nor kde.
get yourself a pure window manager (dozens to choose from, most of them totally customizable) and be done with the "desktop" mentality once and for all. it will work with any linux.
you'll have to learn a few basic things: how to split windows and switch between them, how to launch programs, errr... not much more. oh, and forget about leaving your crap on any "desktop". get used to keep it organized, already. after 30-60 minutes of exploration you should look back at windows, macos, kde or gnome as bizarre aberrations from a infantile and baroque past. so much for user experience.

good for me that i don't give a shit about what OS the average user chooses.
the average consumer eats processed shit, wears slave produced shit, regularly buys useless crap, uses closed software from locked gardens, gives away his privacy with a smile, votes every 4 years to maintain a soft fascist status quo, swallows shitloads of propaganda daily and in general has no fucking idea about how the world he lives in works. nor does he give a shit.
feel identified? ok, you might as well use Microsoft Apple (c) products, let's not make a drama out of this. move on.
I agree that it can work - IF you have good people. That's rarely the case, so it usually fails
this. agile was the experience of a group of highly skilled and motivated professionals in a very specific setting. they had intuitively adopted some practices that were already known, and then called their whole experience "agile" and produced a recipe for it.
what few understand is that this recipe is simply not universally transferable. talent and motivation are the real drive. given those, everything else can be figured out in many ways: probably any combination will work in such a team, they just chose what suited them best.
but none of them will work in a zoo. no matter how many evangelists and bananas you throw at the monkeys.
OTOH, they should open such emails in a sandbox suchas a VM, preferably in a non-Windows environment. They are professionals - they should be able to handle this sort of thing.
opening that email in a plain text editor would have been enough, and more informative too. even outlook, i vaguely remember, had a "view source" or equivalent option.
allowing html or media to be embedded in email seemed a cool idea but we have never been prepared for it.
otoh, allowing private software to be used in public affairs is just idiotic.
layman here, but it surprises me that something is considered cryptographically secure when a mere 10x bruteforce cost factor makes a difference. even 300x sounds small. how difficult is it then to bruteforce with 1000 iterations? it should be unfeasible with foreseeable technology. the need to make anything unfeasible 10 times more unfeasible is counterintuitive to me.
The quick way to fame and fortune as a journalist is sensationalism and bias
ok, but this is just our cultural karma. say, any musician that seeks fame and fortune must go for canned commercial tunes and videoclips in the fashion of the moment. there's still a lot of musicians that won't get fame or fortune, but produce honest, original and good quality music.
the issue here was cost as in "time is money and if you have to produce 5-6 stories a day, it's just impossible to do them professionaly". a reporter might be sensationalist and even a bit biased and still take the time to do some investigation or fact checking, if he just isn't asked to do so for 5-6 stories a day.
in the end what happens is that there is not enough demand for professional journalism in the market. that's us. we have been trained into to gossip and bias, we want it, it sells, it pacifies... so why should it change? i guess the last thing that media corporations want is informed and critical reading, so much for informed, critical writing.
i'd say newspapers are struggling to maintain an outdated business model, as customers are not wlling to pay to support the overweight accumulated on it for decades, just for gossip which can be found for free elsewhere. if newspapers actually did invest in delivering investigation journalism instead of printing gossip this could change. maybe! there's a risk. i would gladly pay for it, but i don't know if there really exists a big enough market for that. but for sure it also would require strong work ethics and real passion for the subject, and those are not characteristics you'll find in nowadays direction boards. to these it's irrelevant if they are selling news, footballs, napkins or burgers. they rather just keep publishing the gossip that works and go for advertising, or grab funding from interest groups. if they are not already owned by such groups. for that you don't need first class professionals. underpaid copywriters are just fine.
of course it's not black or white, but i do not think there is a direct and relevant relationship between what customers pay and the quality of work / remuneration of professionals doing actual work. that isn't true in any big business nowadays.
the reporters' salary is but an anecdotical tiny fraction of any news suscription you pay. this renders your entire argument pointless because your measures are meaningless.
stances on things like abortion and gay marriage are just attitudes to herd popular support into opposing factions. works pretty well given there's enough uneducated population to create the illusion of a tension, an actual clash of ideologies where there is none, really.
politics is about power, and has always been extreme right wing. abortion? gays? death penalty? environment? religion? wellfare? education? power doesn't give a flying fuck about these issues.
is there any difference? this is iS, formerly known as syrian freedom fighters, remember? the pattern is old, already.
TFA is bullshit, it is only sort of correct about the 30-year war... which has been already going on for 15. it's all the same war, the war US needs to keep its declining influence. 15 more til it rots, she prophesies? could be. anyway that's a lot of mayhem still to unleash...
but it just could be another instance of the "magical three months syndrome". remember, when every month some random moron from defense projected that the current kill and destroy operation would be resolved in the next three months? well, three months have passed many many times and we're still on the same spot. it's probably because there is no intention whatsoever to move away from that spot.
which "rebel side"? you mean the fascist western backed coup d'état that overthrew a legitimate elected government and threw the country into civil war?

the reporters' salary is but an anecdotical tiny fraction of any news suscription you pay. this renders your entire argument pointless because your measures are meaningless.
Also inaccurate, (snip) The less people are willing to pay for news, the more news a reporter has to produce each day to cover their salary.
There is no free lunch.
also inaccurate. how many stories has a reporter to produce to cover the salary of an executive in the media industry?
fire the executive, hire 50-70 reporters. voilà: professional journalism in every story.
so you can read. great!
keep practicing and someday this will become a very useful skill. :-)

How is the government not concerned about corporate espionage, terrorism, and other criminal activity
why should it? all serious espionage and terrorism going on does so on behalf of some government, usually as a proxy for some elite.
the rest are petty criminals in comparision, more a nuisance than a serious problem for governments or elites.
