Read his post again - that's not what he was saying.
Couldn't you just provide the evidence in some way where it's provable that it was provided (recorded mail or something), then if it wasn't disclosed you could point this out after the event?

Why should the customer have to do this? The company got punished and presumably won't do it again; the customer got some cash out of it. I'm not sure what taxpayers have to do with this.
Skype should care, given they're about to see their market share disappear down the toilet once people discover that rather than the two inherently unreliable (given their track record) companies Microsoft and Facebook, they can instead use Google+.

What if those 5 people are wrong, or stupid? Or part of a group of people with an agenda, as has happened on other sites? Shouldn't I get to choose what I read?
An `about face` is when one changes their behaviour. This is another company seizing on the opportunity to do what another company is trying to do, properly. Facebook understands privacy the way Microsoft understands security; they have to have it explained to them breach by breach.
Hopefully Facebook will someday be as popular as MySpace.
And? By that measure the internet is more desirable than consuming great art and literature. Reading a good book vs arguing with the Twitter monkeys... hmm, tough call.
They've always been lawyers. Apple are marketing people. And Google are developers.
Microsoft got lucky way back when and have been ruling ever since because of the fact. The internet will be their downfall; they still don't understand it, and Apple and Google are going to take them to the cleaners. This sort of crap is all they can muster.
Just because something's not true doesn't make it fraud. Even if it were, all he'd have to do would be to say "here's either an alternative email address for this service OR a regular, existing email service from another company". Humans would have no problem determining, and scrapers get confused.
Speak for yourself. But I think you're confusing `some people` with `everyone`. Given there are, who knows, perhaps tens of thousands of people who read this site every day, and probably hundreds or thousands who post every day, you're going to get a range of opinions. When it comes to a new site design, what are the options? Like, dislike, don't really care?
Personally I think it's barely worth talking about a redesign if it's just `the stuff at the top has a black background now`. I'm more concerned that I've paid for a domain, pointed it at a 'Google Apps' account, but cannot use it to access Google+. I'm also limited in how I can use Google Reader for the same reason. I get hilarious messages like: "you need to create a profile" and then "your organisation cannot create a profile". Duh! Oh, and I'm not an organisation, just a person with the regular free 50 email accounts per 'google apps' account.
Don't criticize soldiers abroad - that's what you're saying, right? No matter what they do. They're there, and you're here, and people here can't criticize soldiers there.
You can, of course, criticize the locals who are fighting the foreign invaders, even they they're also in the same location, and the same distance from you, and even worse conditions, against a much more powerful army, because...
I've played with most of the new browsers, especially all the Chrome and Firefox releases, and I've not noticed any speed increase whatsoever in any of them, from my humble laptop to my quad core 64 bit desktop. I'm not denying that they're faster, just that they were already fast enough for the stuff I do. A bit like when graphics card manufacturers were optimising 2d drivers to no end.
Still, a faster Opera - that's going to make one or two people happy.
When would you have ever used Pascal, though, and not Basic or C? As you said, Pascal never made it onto any popular home computers. Sure, they taught it in college/university, but that went for prolog and lisp etc! This was probably as good an example as any of the changes since the 1980s'/90's and today - it's all about the money. Nothing gets taught/done unless there's some sort of payoff just around the corner.

Perhaps they don't want G+ sullied with a sucky experience on inferior platforms? Those requirements are hardly cutting edge, are they?

And they all had amusing moustaches. Makes them look really professional and worthy of respect.

You wouldn't be able to meta-moderate a deleted post. That's why Slashdot's approach is better.
It's an Android tablet, so it'll probably be as easy to use as other Android tablets, phones etc. Do you find Android devices complicated to use?

No, it turns out it's covered in Ice, a popular form of water.

No it won't. People who don't use Google Blogs (ie most of the planet) won't even notice, never mind care.

Non musical music, eh?

I'd like to try it, but I have a Google Apps account, which isn't supported.
Why not?

No, fuck 'em. I mean, lets wait for further results to come in. We don't want to rush to conclusions when the safety of Uhmerkans is at stake.
But prophets are going through the roof, so they'll be ok.
I use Ubuntu. I'm giving Unity a chance. Saying you're quitting is not a discussion - it's going nowhere. No linux fans are going to care about that.

Isn't Pirate Bay in the top 200 sites?
