The Snowden revelations have finally convinced me to ditch Windows. I've gone for Xubuntu. It's worked out if the box and almost zero config. The wife is, coincidentally, happier with our new system and for the very few things that are missing for me, Windows7 in a VM is a cinch. Yes I am just one data point and yes I am a geek but I didn't grow up on a command line and although I'm learning, its not because I have to to get the system working.
The trick to misconduct is hard work and principles.
Just as I have high standards, integrity and rigor in my professional life I'm also very principled and practice diligence when those standards slip and I have to/want to cut corners. If you're lazy and stupid in your work, chances are you'll be lazy and stupid in your misconduct too.
Humans naturally want to hit each other over the head for dominance and cooperate at the same time. there's plenty of evidence for these behaviours across the whole spectrum of the living world, all the way back to microbes. Google horizontal gene transfer and draw your own conclusions.
I suspect that whether you emphasise cooperation or competition is down to your political leanings, personality type or social background.
Get some mushroom spores for a couple of quid/dollars off the intarwebs. Soak your book in water for a day and seedit with spores. 2 or 3 weeks later and you have some yummy mushrooms to cook with. There are you tube vids if you need em.
...except you, me, some other people that realise the full implications and the paranoid.
I work at a Further Education College (14 years upwards) with some Higher ed students (mature) and everyone's all very interested in my opinions about privacy and footprints in exactly the way any educated, engaged person might be about any interesting and important topic but they don't think it applies in their case.
I also stand up at my desk to work. If anyone asks, I'll tell them why. Everyone is interested and thinks it's a good idea but I'm still the only person in the whole college that stands up at my desk.
Read the TOS...filter out the specifics that people need to be aware of...write a report...move on.
I took the word violence out of your sentance and came upnwith this: To have a a young mind exposed to images and expect that they aren't influenced would be a ridiculous arguement, imo.
Worked for me. Sheesh how hard can it be? No cardboard boxes? I've used bricks before but if you're not a cheep skate like me then go to a shop that sells office furniture?
Political leanings have been shown to correlate with birth order [citation needed] with first borns leaning to the right and second to the left so of course it's not hardwired. On the other hand, traits that develop early in life are often quite stable.

It goes further back than that. My kids have been watching me learn to extract clay from soil over the last year.
...when's this getting ported to android? Can't wait.
I should be getting my car serviced now?

....which might not be to say much but I'm not sure I've heard anyone else saying "Not Me!". That could be down to the non-discolures of course.
current surveillance practice 'undermines the freedom' of people.
That's a good point, we should definitely take into account crimes that we can't prove.....

Targeted advertising? But not on a computer? Revolutionary...maybe they can patent it.

I got lost at C.

....just saying.
Editors? Slashdot has editors?
Nature abhors a running gag.

Fuck you very much
And has the disadvantage of being Google.
Have you similarly gone through a process of folicle consolidation?

...well not new exactly...but imagine all those moments (pick your own fetish) edited together, over and over and over.
Depressives can spend hours/days/their whole lives going over the past. Memory might not be the central problem but let's not add fuel to the fire.
