Well, I like the bevel. It may not be flat but it does an excellent job in the context it's supposed to be used in - go check out yahoo.com. That favicon could definitely be reworked though.

Yeah I get it. But the thing is - that's one year less I spend on my idea.

Well, with that consideration, the advice is moot since it isn't outside government regulation. Hmm...good point. We really need an open-source ISP for privacy to start to work. A fool-less system where the executing code is available

It's defence against legal compliance with the NSA. Emphasis is privacy and compliance, not security.

Sounds like a successful academic project but not so much for the industry. I'm hard pressed to find a company willing to use plain, publicly-available Javascript to write their number crunching algorithms. That said, I would loved to

I'd much rather donate CPU processes to advertisers than donate screenspace to their ads. Ok, but do the advertisers want you CPU processes or your screenspace?

Oh right, because everything not relevant to the context of the situation must be dragged in to the discussion, right? Big data is the umbrella term and just throwing the term around signifies an understanding of analytics; the main reason

I agree. But for the sake of argument, why? "Big data" is huge an expected to grow exponentially over the next couple of years. This is just another form of big data.

But it's not your browser. Some kind people have created one for you. Should they not explore potential avenues of revenue? (what if advertisers pay browser makers 1% of their earnings via this cookie tracking thing?)

I largely view this as indoctrination. In Canada, we sing (or used to; been out of school for some time) the national anthem at the start of each day. I think it's the same for most countries. I wonder how something as explicit as a pl

What's the pledge ritual? Seems like something reinforced via the education system? Please enlighten those of us outside the US.

The stop sign was made for you. You weren't made for the stop sign.

Exactly! But it's important to post for it to serve the purpose.

It's not about validating an assertion as much as it is about exploring the truth.

It's not about responsiveness as much as it is about self-interest and bureaucratic thinking that is inherent in all institutions.

We should start a consortium whose sole purpose is to put million dollar backings behind small companies trying to ward off trolls and assholes.

I find it to be the direct consequence of institutionalization.

Except that companies would want to negotiate, lets say, a contract to include a gray area clause that serves as an incentive for the companies to keep doing this. Once this thing becomes legal, companies have grounds to organize this as a

The implications are more serious than immunity for NSA actions. This law could circumvent the breaking of ALL and ANY laws by these companies. After such a law is passed, companies may not have to be accountable to anyone. When questioned,

That's two governments out of 100+. And I'm not weighing in number of users per country because, in most cases, each country has it's independent government.

Why is this surprising...the nature of a capitalist system is to have one winner.

It's aimed at displaying value propositions to a new user - something that startups usually focus on. I suppose Dropbox must be looking to expand their market share.

So, if Google does continue like it should, at the very least we should watch out for Sergei & Larry's dirty laundry hitting the internet soon enough?

Interesting. My question is why is this setup like a landing page of a pre-funding startup? Or am I missing something?

It's a start! So what can the gov't do if companies don't co-operate? With individuals, there is blackmail and illicit co-ercion. What does the gov't do to corporations worth updwards of 100B to get them to comply?

Somewhat true. I think the OP is targeted at programmers en masse. So, if we were to pick majority of embedded programmers and see if their application would benefit directly from an FPGA, I'm fairly certain my previous post would come
