I find that peoples understanding of this issue is way too simplistic. It won't help to stop terrorists because they will always use the internet in ways that cannot be monitored (https, VPN, etc.). It will allow the gathering of every

There is no user blaming here. In normal circumstances Firefox is very stable so if it is crashing the fix is extremely likely to be one of the things I mentioned. You should never have to reset your profile but if your PC (or Firefox) cras

Wow, that makes me homesick for Moab and Arches in general.

Google cache is a great service, like I said, I am not anti-google.

I contribute to a lot of open source projects and used to be a fan of tabs but now I hate them. If one dev uses tabs and another uses spaces then, depending on the tab width they have configured, the files indentation can look completely wa
