I'm as anti-war as the next guy; we military veterans tend to be more so than most, and I've gotten even more so as I've gotten older. Still, there are those who appreciate that: (A) political leaders aren't supermen and -women. Like all of us, they have to make the best decisions they can with the limited information available to them at the time; (A1) [ADDED:] the signal-to-noise ratio can be problematic; the avail…

The bush admin asserted that it could detain anyone without a trial and torture them. You know, they were trying to do good. We should just let that slide.

Let's see, is that better or worse than a drone strike?

I guess President Obama is trying to keep you alive so it's okay if he takes out a few miscreant citizens with drone strikes, right?

When looking to grow our board, we sought out a leader who could help us expand our global footprint. Condoleezza sure left a global footprint in the Middle East alright. Hate do this Dropbox, but time for me to move on. Edit: Suggestions for a Dropbox substitute?

To me, this feels totally different from the Eich case. His political beliefs has nothing to do with Mozilla's product. However, giving someone who approves of wiretaps an important position in a company that people trust with their data, seems like an unbelievably bad idea. It's not just about whether someone in the company has an opinion I find despicable, it's about whether my own data is still safe.

OneDrive is phenomenal. I've been using it for the past year or so and it's been a breeze.

Unless you like privacy. Partially nude photos in your private folder on OneDrive can get your whole Microsoft account banned. [1]

Uh we have all killed indirectly. Do you pay taxes?

I'm not American, and the country where I pay taxes does not wage wars in foreign countries as far as I know.

Have you ever bought a product/service from an American company?
