Yes, yes, there is always a few people who will steadfast claim "it all was better in the olden days, when we still had our weekly critical flash vulnerability".
There's your weak spot right there. Because "worthy cause" can be anything, including "charities" that have various people on their board as paid members.
I really don't know why they killed Presto tbh... it was faster (in real-time execution speed, which mostly means DOM performance, not useless JS benchmarks) than any other browser, and it took less resources. I mean heck, My workflow (on a 256 MB machine, mind you) was opening roughly 50 to 100 forum threads at once, and it didn't slow down perceavably. Try that on chrome or firefox and they die after the first 20 pages or so even if you have multiple gigs or RAM.
> There should be no such thing as a law against "hate speech".....
And there isn't. The two laws in question are Wiederbetätigung ("but the nazis were the good guys", "no, KZs are a lie") and Volksverhetzung (sedition), both of which are generally interpreted _very_ narrowly.
The last three infections I had were all along the lines of "Virus detected" - "Attempting to remove virus" - [system hijacked]. Seriously, how hard is it to write a reliable and bug free quarantine -.-
Maybe antivirus companies should spend more time on that than adding fucking useless spyware features to their own products (like ssl interception)
... is how conflict resolution works in both worlds. In (at least classical) Star Trek, it's a process of diplomacy and negotiation. In Star Wars it's a process of suppression and force.

I just need computers that don't actively get into my way (like OSX/iOS do)
Seconded. Apples idea of good UX is not compatible with me (or really anyone I know)
Because, quite frankly, this is just patenting shit to lock out other people, and a cancer that needs to be stopped.

> It's based on the Chromium browser
fuck that then, the only good engine was Presto back in the days. Anything else is crap when it comes to heavy workloads.

Hate speech is probably a bad translation of Wiederbetätigung. Also what FB does falls under obstruction of justice as well as assisting in a crime.
The slight difference between war and seeking refuge ...
Who cares? Thanks to weak net neutrality we can just get our traffic exempt! Fuck the competition who actually have to write performant stuff!
That answer depends on philosophy.

Also it's not like it's one blob (like eg. ... you know ... the actual fucking kernel)
No problem. ISPs have to comply with court-ordered IP and DNS blocks.

Not as long as companies can patent the genes and basically force farmers into submission.
Incorrect. In fact chrome is decidedly bad at properly implementing edge cases.
Seconded. Same story on Mac OS X. Chrome is decidedly bad for my battery compared to safari (but safari sucks so there's that).
At this point most people already passed on their DNA. No use "checkpointing" after that moment.
It's a simple web of trust thing. Whom do you trust more? Appelbaum or - for instance - Nick Farr?
Rather get a washing machine that is more effective and makes stuff cleaner (european style, sideways drum instead of upright).
Don't blame the developer. It's the corporation who pays the developer you have to look out for.
this is gonna hilarious!
