It's something to be preserved for it's own sake. It a way, it enables freedom and preserves the sanctity of the individual.
"Most people more or less figure that if you have been researching poisons and your spouse dies from one that you probably did it and deserve what is coming"
What you're saying that it's ok to have no privacy because someone who is researching *blank* and *blank* happened. probably did *blank*... it isn't even an argument.
That escapes most people. In their mind, they just KNOW what happened. When in reality, they could never know... sure a murder motivated by racism seems convenient and that's the story they've been fed. But is there any evidence that Zimmerman was even a racist? How do we know what actually happened? I find the entire debate about this so tired and hollow, hearing emotional words like "child" "murder" "racist" thrown around, it's really a good example of what most the "debate" is in this world. - a bunch of people who can't think, only feel, but confuse it with thinking and begin screaming.
I'm not talking about majoring in computer science. I'm talking about basic knowledge of computers through using them and your own inquisitiveness?
One of the misconceptions about education is that you can teach intelligence, curiosity or interest. Not everyone is the same nor born equal and on the same note, not everyone belongs in college especially not if it means going tens of thousands of dollars in debt, whichever humanitarian thought that was a good idea, good job. So, not everyone belongs on the computer and there's Windows and Mac for them:p

Your assumption would be correct, but if the 90's taught me anything what you just said was sexist. We should all strive to be gender and color blind.
I find tyranny a bit harder to swallow when it's "for the People"
if it means taking down Microsoft and I will bear their children if they take down Apple as well.
