> None of the proprietary browsers will track you. Can you elaborate a bit on this, how do you know they won't? My default assumption is that anything I can't see the source code of and compile myself is compromised.

Also, if this is free software, you should put Bitcoin donations address somewhere on the site. I would gladly donate a bit because I like the idea and I like that it's for Linux.

Please support panes, tabs and scripting for them. I tried tmux, worked in it for 6 months, but what annoyed me is the lack of support for properly styling what's on the screen. For instance, I wanted panes to be of various background

So why don't you skip the government and vote with your own money for the things you support? If enough of people buy the product, then the company makes profit and the product deserves to exist on the market. Be it protection, war or

I don't understand this. "Supposed to be us" is a meaningless propaganda thing in any country. Much like "for your protection". What they are supposed to be has nothing to do with what they really are. You can'

In other words, you'd rather have a really big and powerful gang that is impossible to fight, than many more competing small gangs? Totally sold me on the idea.

No, we don't. A great talk and an illustration about how law and protection could work in a stateless society: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYkdEU_B4o by David D. Friedman (an economist AND a lawyer).

If elderly without a family is not more than 2-3% of the population, I don't think it's anything that charities wouldn't be able to do. And that is assuming people are completely irresponsible and don't save during their

I think the problem here is, how would a $FEDERAL_AGENCY know how much bitcoins does one have? The 'no' may come at a point when they ask this question and it may come in the form of "I don't have any, now go and prove o

This petition would only be effective at all if this 100k people announced they started using Bitcoin for at least saving money. This is when they shit bricks.

Doesn't matter. Just because some guy revealed US government spies on people doesn't mean it's only the US who do this. Every government does this to the extent of its capabilities (example: https://news.ycombinato

Lobbying doesn't solve something like that. For any company, potential problems with a government are more dangerous than losing some of its customers - because government, if it wishes so, can cause this company to lose a lot more mon

You libertarians are making me sick, you are so naive thinking the world is black and white. Just because governments kill and torture people, just because they lie to everyone and never keep their promises, just because they put people in

So are you saying that the US is an example of how government serves its people and that there's every chance in the world it's heading towards a bright future not far away from today?

Bitcoin is more useful, because by using it you're not actually sponsoring NSA and you're doing it not in some hypothetical utopian future where politicians actually serve their people, but right here right now.

Once in n years. And you don't really vote them out. You get the same parties and interests screwing you all over again. You just don't see consumer protection as a service while it is - and it's monopolized by the government. If you had pr

You ascribe honourable motives and noble behaviours to all actors. You are demonstrably wrong where human behaviour is concerned. Then by this definition, you should be more concerned with giving the power to a monopoly which is a state.

You not accepting it doesn't mean it's not true. When you say "we should regulate taxi industry because we want higher standards of safety" you have to remember that those standards are by no means universal. Every person has his own set of

Well, food poisoning happens all the time in the regulated market. People get assaulted all the time by government employees on duty. The libertarian way, however, is not that there should be no regulations. The idea is to 1) make regulatio

People always say the chant "free market doesn't work" without giving any explanation or examples. Moreover, any example should be carefully dissected and analyzed, which rarely happens. Even if people come up with examples, it's usually fo

Actually, they are. But, more importantly, you are trying to decide for other people what's good for them. Some people might prefer a less safe ride with a less professional driver for less money. Now, I don't see anything wrong with inform
