Since you mention LGBT issues I can give one example from my country. In Ireland being gay is legal and generally well accepted. LGBT groups exist on every campus, we have openly gay politicians and (limited) civil partnerships. However one

The ribbon can be hidden so it's not too bad. The interesting part is the reason why they chose to introduce it in explorer. There was a Microsoft study (can't find the link atm unfortunately) which showed the majority of users couldn't cut

I understand that perspective. However it's not something I would favor as a customer. Managers are essentially offloading their duties onto customers to keep their employees in check. It's interesting to contemplate the societal implicatio

Actually Japan has invested heavily in creating replacements for certain rare-earths since China (temporarily) cut exports to them a while back. So has the US. See "Research: Removing rare-earth" [1] [1] http://eandt.theiet.org/magazine/20

I wasn't suggesting Russia didn't have laws against cyber crime. I'm just not familiar with them. It'll be interesting what the legal ramifications will be be if this service gets more traction and customers.

I don't see the need to tip either as I live in a country with a decent minimum wage. I worked in a bar as a student and tips were rare. As a result I see tipping as some kind of failure by businesses. If employees are paid fairly and the s

If I'm reading this correctly the software attacks ordinary peoples PCs to prevent them seeding a specific file (by spoofing other peoples IPs?). Anybody want to guess how many laws they could potentially be breaking in Europe and the US?

"Everyone else is much more conservative." I disagree. Look at what the GNOME developers did with Gnome-Shell. That was more of a radical change than Unity imho and was equally divisive by "forcing a viewpoint on the world". There are also

I also dislike the multi-window mode. I've been using scripts like gimpbox.py to get single window mode up until now ( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/gimpbox-gives-stable-vers... ).

"It doesn't affect my life, or my work" Unless you buy their products I guess. Lawyers are expensive and I assume that expensive eventually filters down to their customers. I wonder, for example, how much, if anything, consumers have paid f

It's great to see Colony Collapse get more attention but the article fails to mention one important factor. One of the reasons many people suspect CCD has been so devastating, whatever the root cause, is the very small gene-pool from which

I haven't heard a case of them using the facility, but the very fact it exists and that they specifically highlight it shows how piracy has become such an issue for them. Maybe the media attention and 'brick campaign' made them think twice

As an Irish citizen I must admit I'm a little envious of how Iceland has faced down the rest of the world, even if I don't agree 100% with what they did. I think the authors criticism is primarily an economic one. Like Ireland, Iceland is e
