Remember, "Patriots" are the brave men and women who spy...
Unh uh. "Patriots" are the teabagger scum who need to list the political leanings of their extended family members and friends for the IRS so that the rest of us can be safe.
There is no reason, aside from legacy compatibility (which can and have been solved!) for your email to not be end to end encrypted.
There's a very good reason for that. I work with above-average IQ people, but they can't be bothered to spend the time to figure out how gpg/pgp works. And people of average and below 100 IQ can't be expected to understand it.
(d) it's not about tracking terrorists or criminals, but instead tracking political trends/opponents or getting a list for gas chambers. Yeah, I Godwined. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?
The truly Orwellian thing about this nightmare isn't even so much the surveillance, but the wholesale redefinition of language. Plain English no longer means what plain English means
That's Patriot talk, consumer. Prepare for extreme reeducation after reclassification as an imminent threat.
America has lost the right to tell other countries to not spy on their citizens
BS. If Hitler admonishes someone for anti semitism, he's still correct because anti semitism is wrong. Hypocracy doesn't remove someone's right to tell the truth.
What was stupid about ActiveX was that operating system updates back then required it (unless you wanted to download and install them all by hand), so you couldn't disable it once and for all.
Are there still security issues with having JS enabled?
Even if Javascript is 100% secure, running in an airtight jail, it's still using up resources on my computer. Sometimes if you leave a JS page open overnight, it will be pegging one of your CPU cores in the morning.
... in every movie. Maybe the populace would learn after a while, but it would take months, and then ten years later there will always be some teen with their first phone who never experienced the "movie shutdown and public shaming", so it would start up again later.
And yet "You kids get off my lawn" had (has) its merits too. If someone's doing something risky on your property (usually the cause for "get off my lawn"), then there are liability issues. If they're tearing up the lawn (the other possible cause), then it makes sense then too. Just because teenagers think the old man is stupid (because they can't grasp the reasons) doesn't mean he's wrong.
It works in chess as well. The randomness is just more subtle. White noise is almost never a good strategy (outside of say, "Rocks, Paper, and Scissors"), but incorporating a moderate amount of randomness can slide your game into a state that the foe hasn't seen before.
This infuriates long-time chess players, but new players don't even notice it.
The cheapest way to get security is to not piss people off, if you don't have enemies then security is very easy.
And don't appear weak and have something someone else wants while you're not pissing anyone else off. Attacks happen for myriad reasons, not just anger.
Call them ignorant in return. Teachers respond well to challenges that they need to learn something. Bonus points if they think you're calling them stupid instead of non-knowledgable.
Are you aware that Rosa Parks knew full-well what she was doing? She wasn't just a tired old lady. She was trying to get arrested. Without people pushing back at bad laws (or bad enforcement of good laws), the Stasi creep will continue until we're behind the iron curtain. And yes, this kid hadn't planned this out, but the fact that he can get arrested and charged for this means that the creep is further along than most people think.

If it's designed to poll mouse position and only start its "CPU hog" mode once it assumes you're AFK, then it's not unresponsive.

yes, they ARE going to take win7 away. What they are replacing it with is inferior in every way
Hey, they have to make Windows 9 better than Windows 8 somehow. They're thinking long-term for once.

80% of the fuel you put in your tank goes up as useless heat.
It's less useless during the cold times of year.
I'm a web developer and have taken JS & CSS for common for years and years now.
I've been a web user since 1994 when my job title was webmaster, and I've never assumed JS & CSS was so ubiquitous as to be necessary.

Except outsourced overseas IT doesn't have to suffer the consequences of a bug. Government employees (excepting congressmen) do.
Because it would cost D.C. about 5 times more if it was done here?
Then maybe we shouldn't do it anywhere.
...I owe my soul to the company store.
Long hair is puny. Hulk is strongest one there is!
The volume for movie theaters is usually far louder than necessary in my experience, but that is a different conversation entirely.
I wear earplugs, which also helps remove ambient noise.
... but it would only happen once

Naw, it's because Evi is such a masculine name, like Sally, Mary, or Petunia.
Plumbing. Except they can always bring in cheaper plumbers on H-1B Visas and name them sanitation engineers.

nope, otherwise there would only exist 5 patents, wheel, fire, rock, paper, scissors.
6 patents: wheel, fire, lever, rock, paper, scissors.
Erm, 7 patents: wheel, fire, lever, screw, rock, paper, scissors.
Okay, 9, no Amongst our patents are: wheel, fire, lever, screw, rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.
I'll come in again.
