> The state of development of the various GNU/ Linux distributions has reached a point where everything "just works". Not really. I'd argue it has actually gotten worse in recent y…

Mobile phones have always been more locked down than PCs, even before smartphones existed. As have other appliances such as microwave ovens, digital cameras, etc. You can argue tha…

Generally, no, I have not. That preachy, self-righteous subset of Americans I was referring to is usually very easy to tell apart from concerned Europeans. Which to be sure I've se…

You're entitled to your opinion, but a single comment on a US-centric discussion forum does not convince me that it's a majority opinion as far as Europeans go. My observations so …

You sound bitter. Why do you get so worked up over 'nanny-state crap' that's going on on the other side of the world? Business interests in the EU and don't like to put in the extr…

> They are complaining that you are just removing it from google. The info is still there! Which, as far as I can tell, is the point of the ruling. The idea is to not have one part…

Yeah, the line breaks ruin it for me. I don't understand the point of it, either. Poems and the like could easily be handled by a special mode, similar to code blocks. Are there ot…

1Password's keychain uses resource forks I think, which makes it inherently not cross-platform (or rather, not cross-filesystem) and could explain the incompatibilities. Not sure w…

I'm doubtful about paid accounts having a significant impact on their bottom line. Do they publish numbers on that?

So you're saying "There is no such thing", not "She's not one of them". At least be consistent with your argument.

> no cloud storage (unless you buy your own) That's kind of the whole point, isn't it? It's clearly meant to be a Dropbox replacement not for everybody, but for those who consider …

The enumerators seem to be missing on Firefox and IE. Working correctly on Safari and Chrome. Edit: IE8, did not test with a more recent version.

It looks like he just fed it a plain python gist, no Markdown, no nothing. On the site it says the service can be used "to elegantly share gists written in Markdown", so I don't kn…

I prefer Mkdown's look, but I think a slightly wider text area would improve on it. It seems a little too narrow compared to gist.io. Ordered lists seem to be missing by the way.

> compared to what? the stock browser? mobile chrome? in my experience it blows both of those out of the water. I don't use Android, but I think those two have been one and the sam…

Maybe by Microsoft's definition of 'most'. * no variable-length arrays * no qualifiers in parameter array declarators (`int x[static 10]`, etc.) * no `restrict` keyword * no compou…

You have a funny way of making someone feel welcome, regurgitating memes and stereotypes propagated by Western media. Really, that last line in your post wasn't necessary. Also, as…

It should be noted that the Pi is really, really slow. Too slow for this sort of application, IMHO. An actual Time Capsule can be annoyingly slow sometimes, and I would expect it t…

> The first Atom processors actually had extremely competitive power characteristics. The only supporting chipset, however, was a) a power pig, because Intel just didn't bother des…

I feel that Apple was in a unique position to do that. As we all know, they make their money from hardware and don't have much interest in taking control of users' data (beyond wha…

At this point I think it's not entirely unreasonable to assume that your company might be forced to incorporate hidden backdoors into your software should the NSA ever decide that …

I'm not so sure. What if one of those countries is not actually sovereign? What if there is also one-sided industrial espionage happening on a massive scale? I'm not convinced it's…

> [...] it was the Non Ethnic Germans that got stopped a lot more. That's probably true to some extent. I imagine though that the situation is similar in other countries, and the p…

As far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong), there is an ID card or a functional equivalent thereof in most if not all countries, as the ability to verify someone's identity is p…
