And asset forfeiture laws were only meant to be used on millionaire druglords, and the PATRIOT Act was only meant to be used on scaaary terrorists, and torture was only meant to be used in the event of ticking time bombs, and...

Lawyers don't file suits for the hell of it. They do it because they're hired to beat someone else in court.
Lawyers get paid regardless of the outcome. It is in their financial interest to encourage as many lawsuits as possible, justified or otherwise, and to discourage any solution that does not involve lawyers.
If you tally it up, God is directly responsible for somewhere between 2 and 25 million deaths in the Bible. Satan is responsible for somewhere between 10 and 60.
The way I understand it, Satan is an agent of God and, as such, the deaths you mention are mis-attributed.
I don't think it really matters that they have improperly spent all this money. So what?.. Is someone going to get in trouble for it over at TSA? Obviously not, they couldn't care less.
The problem is, as usual, lack of *real* accountability. Steal 14 hundred - go to a private (for profit) PMITA prison; steal 14 billion - business as usual.
Just keep voting for the person that tells the prettiest lies.
Seriously - why the fuck are the IT giants just turning their back on the complete and utter gang rape on things like the Internet, when most of their products would die off the moment it stops working the way it should.
Perhaps they stand to gain something from it (while disclaiming responsibility).
Idiots are getting more and more power granted to them, and making more and more cash in the process, all for dealing with this "threat" that they've manufactured. They will do anything and everything they can to perpetuate it, as long as they retain and grow that power base and make more and more money.
They are not idiots. They are very smart, devious and thoroughly evil.
Security Theatre relies on keeping the public ignorant of what the real threats are, and of the proper ways to deal with them.
They are the real threats. As for the proper ways of dealing with those threats, I think you already know.
And the morons in charge are making laws to protect themselves and keep it all going.
"Idiots", "morons"... You are making the same mistake again. Do not underestimate your enemy!
I am not a cop, but I am dating one. Having done ride alongs I understand the other side of this. It really sucks when a you are not sure a perp has a gun or not - and sometime they do - and sometimes cops get shot.
When a suspect does not obey orders, and could potentially be going for a weapon, Cops get scared. Abuse of authority? Perhaps. Reasonable justifiable fear? YES.
I strongly suggest you stop dating her, because sometime in the future, when you do not obey her orders, she will "abuse her authority" on you (due to some "justifiable fear") because this is what she's used to. After all, if you're not a cop, you're a "prep", right?
Are there bad cops? Yes. Just as there are good and bad people. Cops are people. People make mistakes.
No, cops are not "people". When people make mistakes, they are held accountable for them and usually pay a price. Cops, as a rule, do not. They get to cover up their "mistakes" or, in extreme cases, bury them.
As many studies showed, people (on the aggregate) are likely to behave immorally when they feel safe from consequences. Then, you have police, which are given power with almost no accountability -- that's a hell of an incentive to abuse that power.
If you want good cops, politicians, etc., change the laws (and the enforcement) so that people in the position of trust, power and/or authority are more accountable (read: harsher punishments) than the average joe.
Firstly, don't start a sentence in the subject and finish it in the body. It is harder to read, harder to quote and does not make you look as smart or as original as you think.
[How much more ridiculous does this have to get] before the American people hit the reset button on the country?
Lots and lots more. People have it worse in Iran. People in the DPRK have it worse. In the PRC and the the Russian Federation (most) people have it worse. The US government knows that there's a lot of rope left to tighten before they should start worrying.
I don't know. Are there many woods in Vatican City?
But seriously. The answer is YES! Almost none of your extensions from FF 3.6 will work with FF4. If you are lucky, there might new new versions available. But that is not always the case. It is very common for people to create extensions, sometimes really nice useful ones, and then abandon them.
The question was about the extent of the breaking changes. Quite a number of addons that I use are "abandoned" and technically incompatible but still work perfectly under 3.6 if I override the compatibility check. Would that still be the case with 4.0?
So you'll have no problem posting all your passwords, social security number, bank account numbers, and so on publicly, then. Right?
Either a strawman or just plain misunderstanding of the issues involved. Hanlon's razor suggests preferring the second option, so I will explain:
Information important to the public shouldn't be kept private.
The AC's passwords, accounts, etc. have no affect on the public and therefore should not be public information. The fact that your router's private key is cracked is a completely different matter.
Let me give you an example.
1. Suppose Bill likes to masturbate to Lady Gaga songs. This is private information and should stay this way.
2. Suppose Bill is also the town's deputy sheriff. As long as it does not affect Bill's performance of his public duties, the information should still stay private.
3. Suppose Bill, to satisfy his urges, routinely confiscates Lady Gaga CDs from confused teenagers under some pretext. Now the information directly affects the public and should not be kept private. However, Bill's poor choice of fetish is only coincidental to the real issue -- his abuse of powers granted to him by society.
Another example:
1. You received a $5000 cheque from your aunt Millie -- private information. 2. Barak Obama received a $5000 cheque from your aunt Millie, who happens to be a RIAA executive -- information that needs to be made public.
1. Is it less resource-intensive than 1.0? I know that the general view is that MSE is light on resources but my (admittedly old) single-core AMD 3500+ sometimes pauses for several seconds with MSE maxing out the CPU usage.
2. Does it integrate with 3rd-party firewalls as well? I happen to run Comodo.
3. Is it available from outside the US? I had to get 1.0 from a 3rd party host.
If the owners are keeping a particular CEO on at such expense, it's usually because they feel that the value that person brings to the company is greater than the cost. If they didn't, they would (usually) replace the CEO. And CEO's do often get replaced when they don't perform well. In other words, the shareholders feel that if they replaced Bartz, they would lose much more than 40 million dollars a year.
Unfortunately, this is not the way it works. The board of directors is usually comprised of CEOs (and other top executives) of other companies, who vote the huge salaries under an "understanding" (call it a "gentlemen's agreement") that the beneficiaries -- sitting to their boards of directors -- will return the favour.
If you disagree with me, then why don't you (or I) apply for the job? Earn the big bucks? Approach the board and tell them you'll do the same job, cheaper?
If I had the right friends (and the wrong morals) I probably would. The problem is, regardless of my skills at running a company, I can't rub their backs (read: pad their wallets) the same way Bartz can. Were I to sit on the boards of Intel, Cisco, and NetAapp, perhaps my situation would be different.
Fact is almost nobody has the skill and capability for such a job.

How do you "vote the state out" when 98% of the population consistently vote for either the giant douche or the turd sandwich?

No, it's not "nuff", there's much more to be said:

Yes, they are.
They perpetuate a "you get what you pay for" (in)justice system.

Yes, it does. As you said yourself:

It is not a war against culture but rather a war for the control of it.

The main reason I run FF is the wealth of addons.
Will 4.0 break compatibility?
Was that a wallet in your pocket or were you just glad to see the demo?
Rather, by playing games of a different kind.
