   Considering RMS a careful person, he probably had backups for all the important information. However, for a person like him, that laptop is probably much more important: he needs to get a specific laptop that respects his freedom, as that o

   > That's a learned technique for getting assistance. It worked on you, didn't it? I was going to point out the same thing. A women playing dumb to get help from a man, is not uncommon at all.

   That sounds like a really proffessional letter to their users. Brief, honest, precise, and they clearly state what their action items to prevent this from ever happening again will be. I like it a lot.

   Watch out for western governments/corporations that may want to "borrow" those kind of ideas.

    Funny there's no comparison with one of Apple's main competitor phones: Samsung Galaxy SII/Note. How about adding that?

    So much left to explore.. So beautiful.. BTW, the name of the planetarium reminded me at first of Hadden. If you've read Contact, you'll understand what that name means.

    Well, if I was a billionaire, most certainly my priorities would be pretty different. However, if we're talking about people applying for a job in a field where a bit of grey matter is required, that's nonsense. Of course some of them are g

    I used to work for an online editorial in Spain, which did exactly that: charge for scraped content. You can't imagine how many customers there are for this kind of thing.

    First, he suggests that no one should work overtime, which isn't practical for people who can't afford to get fired. Second, he suggest that there's no benefit to working over time, while many would see keeping your job as a benefit. Even

    So.. you're sad because of the Ad industry, when there's A LOT more money in the military industry being thrown away? I mean, if you want to be sad about something, choose your argument subject more carefully..

    It'd be really cool to add some "equivalences" to compare what an asteroid hitting Earth would do, in terms of Mt.

    I'm not trivializing his life! I don't deny the fact that he's going to be killed over a stupid thing, and that the Iran regime should be ashamed for that. I sincerely hope this could be stopped somehow. But still, there is a media campaign
