Yes, it's anecdotal evidence. Yes, it's a generalization. It's clear I was stating opinion. That's why I used pre-qualifying words like "I think" and "I know some" . It's based on experience, not data. Congratulations for pointing out th

Of course it's a generalization. I wrote a three paragraph post, not a thesis. You want to argue the point or be argumentative-internet-guy because you found a way to deconstruct the intricacies of my three-paragraph post? My point is, is t

I really think that MBAs ruin good companies, especially when they hold all the top executive positions and the engineers are relegated to the lower ranks. You get big and all those people smell the money, as push those who built it below t

The point is that for those of us who are personally affected by the Boston incident, we resent being told that we should care more about the Texas incident, because it is natural that we would be more upset about the incident that persona

Well, that's a different issue than what Bain was attempting to argue, but I'll indulge. You said, "Our response to deaths should scale exactly proportionally to the number? I shouldn't let the death of a friend upset me disproportionally

You're taking RMS's statement out of context. His point was that we not allow fear to overwhelm our senses so that we trade individual rights for security in police states, saying: "Every death or injury is a sad thing, but the fact is tha

Should I be worried? Depends; you'll probably not want to share this point with strangers. Since we've been repeatedly traumatized as a nation over the fears of 'terrorism' by war-hawks and sensationalist media outlets, many Americans exp

I've read the bill, but I'm not a lawyer, so maybe I misunderstood. Could you please point out the text of the bill that you're describing here?

'Backdoor SOPA?' Those are your words, not the EFF's, and they're concerned about a lot of this legislation besides the abuse by copright holders. Anyways, I believe you're referring to this section: 'Does CISPA do enough to prevent abuse

This is one of the most concerning issues to me from that FAQ: Q: Can a company hack a perceived threat under CISPA ("hack back")? A: CISPA provides companies with immunity "for decisions made based on cyber threat information" as long as t

I watched it, but to be honest, I zoned out towards the end. So little substance; just a collection of dinosaurs throwing around the 'cyber' rhetoric like computer security is a game of Risk. They don't know what the hell they're talking ab

Yes, they do quite a bit of lobbying.

They're based out of New Jersey, actually.

Right, but it's all about the incentives. If they did that now, there would be a big backlash against Google and Android. However, with Facebook leading the way, it could become a plausible scenario to see some similar behavior from Google.

It's concerning to me, because I'm worried about this social network creep over our phones. Of course, I'm not going to install this crap, but if Facebook Home proves successful for Facebook, will Google move in the same direction? (Yes.) W

You can re-enable the minimize button using the Gnome Tweak Tool without too much trouble. Admittedly, I think that button should be enabled by default, and it is annoying to have to install a different package, but the option is available.
