You know that you've been programming for too long when the first thing that bugs you about the statement above is not the presence of spelling/grammatical mistakes but that the parentheses are unbalanced.
As far as I know all those people were either in Russua, Russian citizens, or both. Therefore, they were terminated by their government (or a local one), which is exactly my point.
I criticize Putin quite vocally, but I doubt he's going to send assassins to Canada to silence me.
On the other hand, an encounter with the local police can easily ruin my day.
You don't think that a foreign government can: 1. Leak sensitive data online and make it look like it came from your computer? 2. Tell the US that you are a mole for them? 3. Send a foreign operative into your house to kill you?
What for? Why expend the resources? Why bother with me? Don't they have enough domestic problems?
Your own country is tasked to protect you.
Tell that to Maher Arar.
A foreign government doesn't give a hoot about you, your life, or your family.
And that's the main reason I am less concerned about them than I am about my own.

While "civilized" countries outsource their torture to Syria or Guantanamo Bay, the end result is similar. The Russians may be more overt, but that is because the west finds different methods of controlling the populace to be more effective (or possibly more cost-effective).
As for the gays, you may want to read up about Alan Turing, who never set foot in Russia.

What does it have to do with anything? I live in Canada, not in Russia, so I care more about CSIS than the FSB.
Russia is no paradise and Putin is no saint, but there are almost 200 countries in the world and a good number of them have a worse track record. Is that an excuse? Of course not, but I prefer to concentrate on what is happening in the country I live in and in those in which I have relatives and friends.
And come to think of it, so do you, since I didn't hear you complaining about Kim Jong-un's reign of terror or the atrocities of Bashar al-Assad.
Rasskazati kak ubili Litvinenko? A vedi on bil v foreign government.
Litvinenko was an ex FSB officer and a personal thorn in Putin's side, hardly a good example.
International assassinations are nothing new. Some countries use Polonium-210, other use drones.
All governments are "bad", they just use different methods.
That said, if any government gets to spy on me, I'd rather it be a foreign one, simply because they don't have as many opportunities to mess up my life, or terminate it.
I have an non-rooted Nexus 5 which I've been quite happy with, as it does what I want it to do. Unfortunately, Google no longer offers security updates for the phone, so I guess that my best option going forward is to root it and install Lineage or some other ROM.
What would be the most straightforward and least painful way of going about it? I understand that backup can be a problem.
Anything that is obvious and can be replicated by someone skilled in the art is not valid. The rules say this, but they are ignored the by morons who run the system and gain prestige/profit while hurting actual innovation.
It is a system of the lawyers, by the lawyers, for the lawyers; and it is working as designed.
The uber-rich really are selfish and shortsighted. Selfish I understand, but the shortsightedness is ridiculous. No matter how nice the masses have it (and at least where I live, you have to be pretty poor before you're not 'rich' in a global or historical context), when a relatively small number of people have so much wealth they can buy and sell the rest of us without a care in the world... the masses will eventually revolt.
And it's so stupid, because the uber-rich are wealthy on the backs of a society that runs on the poor, managed by the middle class. They wouldn't be rich at all without everyone else doing their part. And they are so rich it's nearly impossible for them to lose enough to become one of the commoners again no matter how badly they screw up.
Advances in automation and "AI" keep reducing the dependency of the rich on the working and middle classes, soon they will be able to satisfy all their needs and wants in a completely self-sufficient manner. Once they have no need for the non-rich, have instituted total universal surveillance with deep data mining to identify potential dissent and have armies of amoral drones at their disposal to quash it (effectively making the system revolution-proof), it is game over.

Rearranging a couple of pieces on a chess board does not get the police after you, and this shouldn't either.

What about 52 ESR, the version meant to be used in corporate environments? Will a fix be issued?
Since the US does not have a "loser pays" system, Keeper cannot "lose big" on this one.
How many technicians does it take to change a light bulb ?
None. It should be fixed in software.
Q: In which case, how many programmers does it take to change the light bulb?
A: None, we'll document it in the manual.
Q: So how many technical writers does it take to change that light bulb?
A: None, the user will figure it out.
True, but it gets the job done most of the time.
May I interest you in Pidgin?
If you end up regretting using it, you can get a full refund.

I did not "wish" for anything.
I'm so confused. I thought Russia was bad.

Google needs to rediscover the value of accepted standards. But there seems to be a new management team calling the shots.
