As I said before (received with the standard mockery and excuses), it's hard to empathize with Windows or Adobe users. You know you're buying a paid service. You know they're in it for the money. They aren't your friends or your Mommy or your guardian angel. You give them money, they give you a license to use their product for a while, with premium services at extra cost. It's all in the EULA. You did read it, didn't you?
I have no empathy for Windows users. They are self-made suckers, ever mocking and deriding GNU/Linux, a powerful free OS that they should all have switched to years ago. Now the poor little lambs are whining about how their corporate overlords keep fleecing them! Oh, woe to the poor little babies!
Free yourselves from tyranny instead. Only buy games that run on GNU/Linux. Demand that the major game labels make the transition. Better yet, grow up and stop wasting so much time playing games. Get a life. Create wealth and culture instead of just consuming it. Use Scribus, Gimp, and Inkscape instead of Photoshp. Use PostgreSQL instead of Oracle, Use gcc, python, or perl instead of.NET or Visual Studio. Use Firefox or Chrome instead of Internet Explorer. Use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Office. If you're not willing to change, then just grab your ankles and shut your eyes really tight. Just like you always have. Suckers.
Far too many people have bought into the War on Terror horseshit. There is nothing new here unless you have never in your life visited a scientific library. The stacks are full of the vast body of science, centuries of it. An enormous fraction of can be used for mischief by those who are skilled in the relevant arts. This paper breaks no new ground in that regard, hysterical public hype notwithstanding.
Beware of assuming that pundits or authorities are generally correct or that they have your best interests at heart. The War on Terror is a perverse, treacherous gravy train owned and operated by international mobsters and war criminals. They most certainly do not have your best interests at heart, unless your self image is that of a mindless beast of burden. Wake the fuck up.
These days it seems that judges are at best arbiters of legal technicality. Their abject ignorance of so many everyday technical, scientific, and artistic issues is becoming a significant threat to our economy and our society.
If you don't want to use GNU/Linux, fine. Don't use it. Also, who gives a rat's ass if the general public uses it or not? I certainly don't. Linux is self-sustaining. There are companies that make enviable incomes maintaining, supporting, and extending it. Young computer scientists cut their teeth developing it. Plenty of people use it, as do plenty of companies. Any company with vast armies of servers would be foolish to use anything other than Linux. In practice, you have to justify why you would use Windows and its huge licensing burden, the absolute opacity of its code (and of the commercial apps you'll most likely be running), and your complete dependence on others for code fixes. An average Linux user probably doesn't fiddle much with the code, but companies running tens or hundreds of thousands of boxes certainly will. Who can wait for months or years to get a bug fixed?
The Linux desktop is fine. It is a subjective choice like any other, but many people use it all day every day with no major problems. We all have apps that only run on Windows or Mac so, oh well, you also have to have a box or two to allow that. Computers are cheap enough these days that most households have two or more computers lying around already anyway. Most likely, even your elderly Aunt Tilley.
This is a dead controversy. Nobody gives two shits about it, except people who have nothing better to do than yak yak yak about pointless topics. The year of the Linux desktop came and went without anyone noticing. It's hard to say when it even was, actually, but it is in the fog of the past.
I can't believe I had to scroll down this far before someone pointed this out. "Apple to set up an employee cafeteria" is some kind of news item? What about "Apple adds 25 spaces to parking lot D," or "Apple to install new urinals on the fourth floor." Remind me why we should give a crap about this.
You must live on an isolated mountaintop somewhere. The Indian and Chinese scientists and engineers I have worked with for decades have all been top notch, including all the new ones coming in now.
b) beware of aligning your creepiness criteria with commercial mass media standards
There are vastly creepier and more exploitative things going on than this. War, financial scams, commercially promoted diabetogenic eating habits, deceitful demagoguery for every political persuasion, etc.
Think of it, though. A chatbot communicating with potentially millions of adolescents. Learning even more from them. Talking to them. Getting through to them like no adult could ever imagine. Convincing them of things. Leveraging them. Wielding them.
Aw, you're spoiling it for all the shallow-thinking whiners who aren't paying attention. Frankly, I would love to have a copy of the dataset. Think of the AI chatbot you could build based on the texts alone...
How much money have you had to pay Microsoft to license its products, directly or indirectly, over the past 10 years? Did you ever change from Windows to Linux (or whatever) even after having been forced to pay the Microsoft fee in the computer's price? How about to Google? Facebook? Apple?
Is Jamaica in the Americas (North, Central, or South)? If it is, then your Jamaican friend is indeed African American. You unwittingly equated "American" with being from the United States. Don't worry, it's a common mistake. Please try to avoid it in the future, though.
Bingo. When talking heads prattle on about "post-racial America," they unwittingly raise the specter of classism in America, and therefore come perilously close to talking about class struggle. Class struggle is far more taboo than racism. Far, far more. We pretend it doesn't exist because if it does then all sorts of left wing contentions are automatically validated. In America, that is implicitly forbidden. That would be tantamount to validating Marxism.
The point, not present in the mouthwash example, is that the carpet contains samples from millions of different strains of the same species. They will combine and recombine their genes, and those that are most virulent will survive longer and spread more widely. It's the massively shared sample collection and distribution device (the carpet) that's the problem.
That part seems to be missing. Could you please show me some other dolls? Where can I purchase a doll for my girlfriend to point out where she was touched?

1) Post some random hot button article
2) Wait for people to make hundreds of idiotic and poorly informed ex recto assertions
3) ???
4) Profit!

Where is this "explicitly stated?"
What do you mean by "best?" Dark beautiful and hot women? Spain, Italy, Rumania. Low unemployment? Germany. Boring familiarity? Great Britain.
Them's fightin' words!

Please! Have a seat! Make yourself comfortable.
How much money is Google making from Android?

I agree with the gist of the quote, this dataset is a vast goldmine. I assume you are tickled because you read it as:
I'm sure you could write academic "69" papers about sexual behavior based on sexts alone.

Thankfully it was only above the belt.
So you're OK with the whole jiggle my moobs thing? No, I gotcha. It's cool. Whatever. Maybe I should ask for some next time.
