The easily-persuaded pretty much describes the majority of the electorate, at least in my country. The average American votes against his best interest. The official response to any opposition to totalitarian tactics is .. FUD. Something on

Counter argument: why do you want to allow gay-married Muslim homosexual commies to sneak into our country and piss on our burning flag after taking our jobs and blowing up our kindergartens? Is that what you want? puppy-AIDS and Sharia law

I always cringe when I hear Ira Flatow remind Science Friday listeners they can participate in the conversation via "phone, email, facebook, twitter and Second Life"..

Budweiser in Australia is drinkable, though very much generic tasting. Over all, Australia has better beer, but there are some pockets in the U.S. where there is some kickass brewing culture. I lived in Wisconsin for a bit and they do have

Kingfisher is not bad at all, but the alcohol content approaches 6% sometimes, so, count your blessings ;-)

He seems to have heard of Lua but that didn't stop him from raising the question. Next article: " Should airplanes be fitted with big rotor on top to allow for vertical take off and hovering? .. like helicopters? "

Yes, they should work for free, and YC founders have droit de seigneur , "first dibs"†, on any date/partner/hookup said "employee" brings home. Guys, it's 2011, not 1511. Feudal system & slavery are over. Sheesh. -- † an earlier editio

That talk knocked my socks off and pretty much drove me to my own bastardized version of "Naked Objects" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_objects [Edit: upon re-reading it again: in P006 he says blackboxes are hard to reuse because they

MicroSD to USB adapter costs $0.75 per unit to produce. I sold them out of China in 2007.

I was addressing the transportation step of the message, not its long term storage. From OBL to net-cafe, the dude carrying it would be safer with a MicroSD, encrypted or otherwise.

Deniable. Cryptography doesn't do you any good if there are guys with a car battery asking you very pointed questions, like "where did you get this encrypted disk"? With MicroSD in your mouth, they wont even get the idea to question you.

Have you ever read the EULA for a proprietary platform? Not only do they disclaim liabilities, they also threaten to take a kidney & first born should you so much as dare think about holding them responsible.

Java is an excellent successor to C++ and its use in Android made the platform better .

Are you denying the existence of aesthetics in software engineering? If not, then how about the correlation between skill and said taste?

Like a boss! Dave Chappelle had a sketch where he was defending Michael Jackson despite mounting evidence implicating him in child molestation. Chappelle's defense was "but .. he made Thriller!" But .. he wrote Mosaic!
