All the hate and distrust comes from the fact that they have done things like that before. But without the users knowledge. Sure they apologized, but it still shows the mentality of their corporation when things like that get signed off on and put into action.

I don't know about that but Dr. Conners A.K.A "Lizardman" thought the very same thing in The Amazing Spiderman and look how things turned out for that guy.
Being a recovering hater is difficult. You have to endure stupid articles such as these that point out the obvious. Oooooh! Storage based tech products increase in capacity AND become cheaper as time goes by!? You don't say. Ignorant brainiac reporters! Stupid slow newsday!!!

Cake and circuses. That's what keeps the masses distracted. Meanwhile the powers that be scheme on how to build checkpoints in our neighborhoods in order to verify that we are carrying the proper papers. The ones we assign authority too will do this as soon as possible. Sure I may look like I need a tinfoil hat right now, but wait and see.
I have a feeling that the Linux community will hesitate to admit any wrong doing here. Not that I am anti-linux or trolling on purpose. I just know that Theo has a bit of a reputation and Linux zealots being what they are... ah well. Nothing like OSS license holy wars.
...is to emulate the creature that will never be attacked by a terrorist. The baby veal calf. We should spend our entire lives in a secured little box with one air vent locked in a basement. It is the only way to be sure.

Linux is set to take off this year for real this time!
I'm not trying to troll, but honestly, how often do we have to here these same soundbites?
