Man, I'm sort of jealous - if you get into wine, you have so many awesome first experiences in front of you! When you want to try more reds, I'd look at some cabernet sauvignons and syrahs.

There's plenty of whites that aren't sweet at all - although I doubt I'd mistake a Californian chardonnay for a red, I'd also never describe one as sweet and sticky. For that matter, there's also tons of sweet red w

It sounds like you waited a little too long before trying to arrange a soft landing, so now you're probably going to have a hard landing. In this situation, I would tell your investors immediately that their investment is going to zero

All perfectly true, but you've at least made it a bit harder for someone to break your encryption without your knowledge and monitor your communications on an ongoing basis.

Yeah, really. Just anecdotal, of course, but from my own conversations with (and eavesdropping on) normal people around my town, it's clear that some people know who Snowden is and are following his travels but they don't have the

Good lord, there was something up here this morning that talked about the pizza and fried chicken Snowden had for his birthday. Before that, it was 'his girlfriend's a pole dancer and here's the cache of her deleted blog&#x27

Well, yes, absolutely and completely - but I don't see how this relates to what flatline wrote about Snowden.

Is there anything in this article, aside from an overblown metaphor in the title, that hasn't been posted here fifty times in the last couple weeks?

Whatever you feel about Google's actions, there's no need to concoct elaborate stories around and speculative theories about the origin of Google's 'don't be evil' slogan. You can look it up. According to http

I knew we could defend ourselves against theft of property with violence in Texas, but I left that out because it's not all that common across the United States - we're a bit more liberal with our rights down here. What's the

Since we're talking about Google and the American government here, I thought the context of the conversation was understood.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. I'm certainly not the government, and I can quite legitimately be violent when defending myself from illegitimate (aka non-governmental) violence. For example, if someone breaks into m

Can people really not tell the difference between 'my data is being sold' and 'an aggregate based on my data plus data from a million others is being sold'? A company that only collects data when the user opts-in and sel

That's because we're a small minority and usually convert poorly anyway, so the industry could care less. Block third-party cookies for everybody , and the ad industry suddenly starts to care. The perennial pitches for first-part

'Twiddle something'? Don't mess with publicly-vetted crypto code - you're far more likely to introduce a weakness. Instead, just follow the documentation and use it correctly.

Is this not already common in certain industries? I've seen plenty of video game terms of service that make you scroll to the bottom before the 'accept' button can be clicked, making all the text at least temporarily visible

I wouldn't use such a pejorative term, but if you want to employ 'minions', you don't need to do anything particularly elaborate - just hire people who want to be minions. You can select for this in your interview proces

It's only an anecdote, but when I was fifteen I was very confident in my insights - and two decades later, I have completely different insights. It turns out my fifteen-year-old self was a comical little prat after all. You might be re

"My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them." Ah, but I don't believe his actions have been consistent with this motive at all - and actions do speak loud

Got to say I'm also somewhat underwhelmed by the EventBee experience. No 'sold out' notice, but the only currently available quantity is consistently zero.

Use the information against your own country and the people in it, which likely includes the people you're closest to? Since you're not a citizen of that country, use the information in your email in far less scrupulous ways? Perh

While the right to bear arms doesn't give one person the natural ability to resist overwhelming force, it does make imposing tyranny on larger numbers of people rather expensive for the tyrants. Let's say the government wants to s

This is total fantasy. The government has and follows an established procedure for dealing with whistleblowers, including anonymous ones they manage to uncover - they'll conduct an investigation, file a complaint, arrest him, and then

Notice how everything suddenly went from being about the surveillance itself to being about this guy? For someone who doesn't want public attention and wants people to focus on the NSA surveillance programs he exposed, he certainly scr

Claims he doesn't want public attention or the story to be about him. Then, by going public, he gets the public's attention and makes the story about him. When I read this article, I cringed. Now everything gets to be the Edward S

Sure, simultaneously with his canonization. It's perfectly possible for Snowden to have done what he did and still have negative qualities - for example, by going public he's making the entire conversation about him instead of t
