Google's Adsense is a fraud outright. I run a small news website where few people contribute. Almost all content is original. Adsense never approved by website claiming the site has no original content.

To use you shoplifting analogy think of a teen who tried to steal a can of Soda and the Owner shot him in head (tis is 'Murica) there and there. I think I will be concerned to enter that shop again.

For anyone who uses email a lot (most tech people do) it is a bad bad idea to let Gmail keep all those emails for you. I have Google Apps account with periodic archives setup to DRopbox. If google bans me I have to only change the mx addres

Even more hair splitting here. Your arguments would matter in court but in general I think it is fairly easy to understand what a user means when he says Linux. For example I say Android is based on Linux.

Islam works just as brutally even when it is not enforced by someone in power. For example in suburbans Muslim dominated parts of Indian cities, some streets of London etc. The only place where I see muslims being able to live peacefully an

True. But it has a lot to do with Islam which insists on keeping things exactly same as they were 1400 years ago and also insists on maintain distance from all other cultures. I wish all people people such as Muslims of middle east, Christi

But it is fair comparison here as they might end up using the same technological infrastructure unlike the Church. Indian Railways is another large employer with unique technology problems.

I have a similar story. I made an Android app which was getting like 2K installs a day. The app was meant for non-english speakers in India. I started getting hundreds of emails on by developer email with empty body and empty subject text.

Power of the state comes from its ability to engage in coercion and hence generally it is true that you can't expect to have a country without someone at the top with power to beat up the citizens into submission. But generally the war

I really don't have words for this. The problem is we the people. We treat anyone in prison or with a government label of felon, sex offender etc. as less than human being. I can't blame the prison university.

There is no such thing as hate-speech. Hate Speech is free speech too. Other than a credible threat every other expression is free speech. It is a fundamental right for all Americans to use homophobic, racist, sexist speech if they want to.
