We agree that people do not have a right to not be offended, right?

To clarify further, I could call my landlord a terrorist because he'll come banging on my door if I don't pay him on time. That induces fear, yet I think we can all agree my landlord is not a terrorist for wanting to collect his r

Um, yes, it very much should. This isn't about blocking roads or stopping transit. Its about being heard. Unfortunately it takes more than a sternly worded letter to voice their frustration and outrage, and here you are trying to take

Granted there are several items that ... detract from the point, but there are some real problems here and I don't think it does them justice to gloss over them because of some errant points at the beginning. We don't see eye to e

As an aside, The Creators rights are limited by First Sale doctrine unless I'm mistaken (and I sometimes am).

That works, but it misses the point. The point is to penalize sites that employ paywalls by taking your pageviews elsewhere.

When asked what a Script Kiddie was, you could have just said they figured out how to press the Refresh button faster than most other people. Calling them Hackers is giving in, as is looking at it as "that ship has sailed". Langua

You need to put more effort into being lazy. Google, my good man, Google. Those scripts already exist, all you have to do is download and run them.

I really wish people wouldn't rely on javascript to avoid delivering a blank page to the user when they visit their site. Speaking for myself, it casts doubt onto a site when so many other websites get along fine without relying on it

Novus is great, they offer some of the highest speeds available in the areas that you can get access. My biggest gripe with Novus (besides limited coverage) is they have no unlimited bandwidth offering like my current provider has. Despite

I disagree. It's great that they're making progress, but by supporting them in the way they are currently attempting to segregate the Internet now, we will lose future debates about the border-less Internet. Compromise is appropri

When does it stop being an unfortunate accident and start being a crime? How many incidents does it take before we can agree on the existence of a pattern of abuse against visible minorities? Each incident is itself an unfortunate accident.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but civil disobedience is a valid and legitimate form of protest. If you disagree with a law, ignore it. If enough people do the same, the burden from enforcing the law becomes too much and it

One of the aspects of this that I've been getting concerned about is the invasion of privacy that they will pose, especially if it's one or a handful of companies owning an operating the autonomous vehicles. It's true that if

You're right, that is a problem for people who haven't been bitten by DRM yet, but I find that it typically only happens once, at least to people who care about that kind of thing. This is how I see it going: Person buys slightly

There's a very simple solution to this, at the moment. First of all, do your research on a product before you buy it, typically a quick google search will tell you whether or not there are any glaring problems with whatever it is you&#

I think I disagree with you here. I can easily see the American government blaming NK because that would (and has) generate media attention and push the torture report out of the spotlight. That torture report is one of the best gifts they

I think so. It wouldn't be very secure of Tor could be over-riden by an ISP inserting a bad DNS record in their servers.

by click170 12y ago
Is there anything that users can do to help with this? Donating money or hosting, or running a Tor node? There wasn't any info on the blog about what regular users can do to help with this, if anything.

When the cost is included in the bill, the consumer has less choice. When its an implied "tip", its optional.

Except that the legislators and employers take tips into account when lobbying for and setting the minimum wage. We see it as "that waiter was nice, leave a generous tip". Employers see it as "if they don't do a good eno

I think its entirely reasonable for Linux devs to not accept patches from anonymous developers. I value my privacy more than most. But when you are contributing code to a public project used all over the world by millions of people, you sho

Take it a step further, I should be able to forge the contacts in my address book, my GPS coordinates, the list of installed apps.. The list goes on. But I would happily start with incremental permissions. Baby steps.

I disagree that culture is hard work. Culture is a byproduct of civilization, we produce culture merely by existing and interacting with each other. Music, media and cartoons are but one [current] aspect of our culture, they do not compris
