Is it only Americans that see this as a problem? Let me be the first European to redundantly point out that sex is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. So what's the big deal? How many more years will it take the moral (majority?) to get o

I'm always Devil's advocate. ("I say: lettem crash!") My life expectancy without the sitting is about 80. So this is a good thing. 65 years is enough for me.

They should be asking for certain characters of your password now, to defeat keyloggers. If you've got tons in the cloud, you need bank-level security. If people can cope with it for banking, they can cope with it for gmail.

I already knew this. This is why Europe will continue to do well whatever the oil price. Most cities are still built around public transport. The UK and some others are not. When nobody can afford to commute from their homes to their work,

Does any company rely on the internet to run a national power grid or other non-internet utilities? If they do, they're idiots. Use packet based control systems, but not the internet. There are some idiots, like life support systems using A

All these geniuses at Google and nobody realised it was a dumb idea? They haven't all gone to Facebook. Marissa Mayer needs a tighter grip on the still, only just, minimalist homepage. I'd prefer no doodles at all, but I demand no power hog

If I were American, and I was suddenly rich, the first priority would be to get out of the land of God and guns and sexual repression known as the USA. Yes, it's a great place to spend time, but not all of the time. It has many advantages f

To clarify. I want them to use Linux, because then they aren't using Windows. Possibly you weren't using computers in the mid-90s when Microsoft was synonymous with evil. Yes, we are merely nursing meaningless old grudges, but victory is sw

Chrome/Linux, as you call it, is Chrome ON GNU/Linux. It's Gentoo with Chrome. It's not Chrome with nothing inbetween the browser and the kernel. People would understand ChromeOS better if wikipedia wasn't currently hosed.

Your tablet is a computer. But it's not what I call "a computer" with quotes. I'm not living in the past. I was just born long ago in it. The commonly accepted meaning of words and phrases will change during your life too. My mother would

Yes. I meant get them to use it on a desktop computer. A computer that goes in your pocket is not, to my generation, "a computer", it's "a mobile device". If it's not a fullsize or laptop x86 machine (or sparc or whatever, not ARM) it's not

One big point about this, esp if it takes off. It answers a big question: How do you get J. Random User to use Linux? Don't call it Linux. Don't make it look like Linux. And Chrome for Windows synced over to an identical looking ChromeOS me

Persuasive. This does rather suggest that we should all get on with doing this: 1. Work out a non-brute force workaround for SHA256 2. Make infinite bitcoins and then buy real money with them 3. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Don't do this. He's sugges
