Don't you want to protect the people who are bothered by it? Do we only fight against illegal stuff when it bothers us?

I don't understand why do you think being forced to ask users before collecting data about them is an abuse of state power. I strongly disagree (admittedly with strong emotions too), but I'm still interested in how you think, I wi

I first thought this was a joke, but the website seems to be serious. I guess I'm still not "getting it". I could understand what a monad is, but I'm not hopeful about understanding what these people are trying to prove.

IMHO, even when sand-boxed, allowing a fully Turing-complete language with such a vast selection of available APIs to run on page load per default is what kills privacy. People should be trained to allow script execution only when they trus

In my experience, enterprise Java crowd never spills its managed beans. In my whole career, I couldn't even get any of them admit that JSF may not be the best front end technology in the world. It's a lost cause.
