    You'll cry if Google pack up and move to somewhere friendlier, too. Six percent of what google make is one hell of a lot of money for you to lose.

    Exactly. So why is there so much FUD spread about what they might do?

    So you want the ability to entice a worker to work cheaper for you by dangling a pension benefit in front of their face but then reneging on the deal later when you can't afford it anymore? THAT RIGHT THERE is why we still have to have Unions.

    To print money, apparently.

    Interesting that there's so much apparent angst against Libertarians, anyone care to point to a real example of a Libertarian government doing the things that they are accused of? Perhaps the Democrats and Republicans (and locally, Labor and LNP) should attend to the messes their own governments have made.

  7. Re:Hmm... on Apple SSL Bug In iOS Also Affects OS X · · Score: 1

    The researcher who found the bug is Adam Langley. CIA headquarters is in Langley, Virginia.

    Coincidence? I think not!

    Adam Langley is an anagram of "A lang madly e". Clearly this is the product of some leet Canadian insider who has gone rouge with this disclosure. Time to put on a new layer of tinfoil.

    Mascara, even!

    I dunno, it's making me see red...

    If it's going to be used in court cases, give the judiciary charge of the cloud servers the Glass reports back to. If the judiciary is corrupt, then you're totally fucked.

    Zero tolerance is zero tolerance, I don't really see how you differentiate 'general' ZT with a specific example. What are you proposing to do when the wearers of Glass don't comply? (I'm not a wearer, nor even a prospective owner of Glass, I'll think about it at a lower price point) Would you have an objection to someone wearing them to read a book in public? (assuming that Kindle app would be workable, any glass owners want to volunteer this info on such a glass unfriendly forum?)
