Finally! Last fall I bought a Lenovo Legion with 'DOS', in stead of a ThinkPad P (with the same CPU), primarily because of the Windows Tax.

That's the beauty of free Open Source projects. Code is written when it's required. When the project does it's job, coders move on to other useful projects.

Did anyone ever question this? Of course they want the phone number to identify you across data-sets. That's why some of us get a new phone number for each service that's important enough. I even made myself an android app that al

Whenever I was asked to do something hard, I answered that I needed to work from home in order to avoid distractions and focus on the problem. For I couple of years I did all the actual coding from home, and then I spent a few weeks in the

I think the best way to stop people from doing bad things is personal accountability. If a company deliberately break the law, why not send those who decided to to that, the CEO and the chairman of the board to prison?

Anything but web development is fun :) Unless you write the web-server, or course. That is fun.

Google captchas appears (to me) to be designed to identify individuals, not to separate anonymous users from machines. Google want to know exactly who you are, when they harvest your visits and behavior on almost all sites on the Internet.

I don't have a Google account on my new Android phone. I get my apps from F-Droid, or I write them myself.

I do. Most sites I use works fine without js. The few sites I need, that require js, are accessed from isolated, virtual machines dedicated to just that site. The sites I don't absolutely need, that require js, don't really exist

Why would anyone who cares even a tiny bit about security or privacy ever want to sign in to Google?

May be that is a good thing. The worst possible IDE in any world + the worst possible build system in any world = Android Studio.

Yes. And often with support from the Government. In USA, corruption is regulated by law... Politics is all about getting financial support and basically selling laws and policies to the highest bidder.

Actually, I prefer that only red-haired grandmothers with a life-long track-record of being nice, who enjoys Star Wars and Harry Potter, and have at least two pet dogs, to use my software. However, making such narrow closes would be impract

Well, I think the wrong people will search power. Always. That means that governments, by nature, will be evil. They will always to some degree do evil. However, if the people abusing their powers (by evil intent, neglect or pure stupidity)

> Corporations are no less evil than governments. If anything, they may be more evil, as they are motivated solely by profit and have no particular reason to care about the population at large. Corporations are accountable. They are acco

No, I think both governments and corporations can be a good thing - if they behave ethically and the people all the way from the top to the ones carrying out policies - are accountable for their actions. Example: If a border-patrol officer

I don't think it really matters who you vote for. The people who seek power are often the people you really, really should not grant any power. I think the problem is most western societies is really that there is no accountability for

>> Governments will always do evil. Not to everyone, all of the time - but they are by nature evil. >If a lot of people assume this I come from Norway - by many assumed to be among the most human and decent countries in the world.

It is very difficult to enforce any clause in any user agreement (or even in law) - as bad people will just ignore them. My clause was a statement: Don't use my software - I did not make it for you. The Microsoft employees wish to put

Governments will always do evil. Not to everyone, all of the time - but they are by nature evil. When I wrote the War FTP Daemon in 1996, as freeware, this became a problem to me. I did want to give away my work for free, but I did not wa

Microsoft is the worst-case. Everything Microsoft touches turns into dirt. Google would had run it very successful for a few years, and then suddenly shut it down. Oracle would have strangled it slowly, and then given in to the Apache found

Well, I guess we just have to wait until that deal expires then, before we replace our laptops :) A Thinkpad lasts for a very long time.

I have been around since Microsoft's core product was Basic under CP/M. It was not so bad. Later, Microsoft had one of the best debuggers for Unix. I used it every day for years. Then Microsoft became bigger and bigger and they di

Why is everybody hating skype? It's great! - It's almost as fast as SMTP for messages (pulling every 30 minutes or so). - If someone calls you, it never rings on the device you're currently using, allowing you play with that
