We clearly have different views. I believe that a transaction of value (i.e. a payment) is not limited to money, it does include indirect values as well. I.e. if I send my personal data to a advertising corporation - that is a transaction

I agree. The point of my above statement was that one might argue that it's not reasonable to for example call Linus Torvalds and demand customer service for free.

Oh sorry! English is not my native language, I did not realize "need to step up" was considered such a strong expression. I stand corrected: Not just Google, I would prefer if many other corporations were able to provide customer service as

It clearly states that Google will correlate your information on all services. Please take time to read my post again. Speaking of evidence: I believe it's your time to provide some if you want to dispute this, "the trend at Google" just wo

From their official blog: "What does this mean in practice? The main change is for users with Google Accounts. Our new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if you’re signed in, we may combine information you've provided from one service with i

Not really. One might say that you cannot demand "free services" to provide customer service, but I would not consider Google's services as "free". This is because you are paying with your personal information, it's just another currency. T

I see! Well, since you had a really proper background, it doesn't bother me you used such a phrase. For all I knew, you were a high school kid who had just read some books and thought he now knew all there is to know. ;)

I like it, looks great. But I would like to see your education/certification/experience presented on the website. I would say that is kind of mandatory when saying you teach "The Right Way" of something.

My opinion on what should be a part of what is irrelevant. My post was regarding the fact that people blame Linux when the real problem is their own lack of understanding. A good answer to the original question would be: "Sound is not a pro

To summarize: 1. Remove your entire desktop environment, 2. Install just a window manager, 3. Now you don't have any program handling your sound, you just removed it, remember? (see (1) for reference), 4. Post on HN: "Yes, sound is still a

Alright! Over all I like your idea, it's indeed needed. While I have you on the line - a suggestion: While I have you on the line - a suggestion: I think it would be really appreciated if it was possible to "click" each of the 'points'. Whe

My point being that to guarantee that would obviously be irresponsible - since there is no such thing as 100% data security. It's way better, in my opinion: "you probably shouldn't put anything too sensitive here - we have been hacked and w

"[thumb_down] Spotify doesn't guarantee data security" I do not really agree on that being a "thumb down" - rather the opposite. Also the "You cannot delete your account" is present under some sites, but not on facebook. Last time I checke

We have a "space" on the black board that's reserved, in the security class I'm taking. It's commonly know as the "java 0-day calendar". Everyone thought it was funny at first. Yet, lately the professors has started whining about not having

Love it! I would love to see social integration as well. For example 1 on 1 matches - first one to fail a level looses. And maybe even co-ops, this requires advanced levels though. You have n-sized teams, e.g. n on n matches - the first tea

Q: "But Why?" A: "Because they can." As long as I can get someone with a degree for the same price as someone without it - Why on earth would I choose the one that might be as good as the one with the degree? There are many qualities an e
