Shame about your respect for copyright in the digital age; I'm in full agreement with you otherwise.
I wish I was kidding:

check out my post history. it's happening to me as we speak. I posted a solution: sue them. I got buried. :)
Perhaps you believe you live in a free society, I don't. I understand the ramifications of the Fourteenth Amendment, and how the bill of rights was filtered through the 14th to see what still applied to "subjects of congress" (hint: only the 2nd amendment comes out unscathed due to DC v Heller). I've read (and used) the Canadian Ownership and Control Determination Act [1], and understand how it allows someone to actually own people (actual slavery). I've filed UCC-1 Liens against people and had sheriffs seize debtor's property or put people in jail for not paying (debt slavery). These are not signs of a free society. these are signs of fascism and tyranny.
I hope you'll forgive my worldview for being different than yours, but perhaps we can find some common ground: We both want to live in a free society. We both want a populace to show courage. we think it's quite sad that people died in previous wars to give us the right to protest. We both think the government has already won (the people are the government), and there's nothing we can do about that. We both think is necessary that people should continue to fight to keep things that way, with courage.
I bet we agree on many more things, actually.
As for being courageous in a free society: Let me know when you find one. we can both move there and be courageous together. In the interim, I'm going to play by the rules of the game, as I'm stuck in the system.
Perhaps you guys don't understand this: they have _really_ big guns. waaaay bigger than anything we have. and they have the authority to use them when they're threatened by acts of mass protest. the Executive's powers used at Kent State ages ago have only gotten stronger. Don't be like those poor bastards. or the Seattle WTO protesters. or the DNC/RNC protesters.
Seriously, they _want_ you to sue them. Just do it.
Thanks for the downvotes. perhaps you could combine them with a reply of why I'm wrong in my reasoning?
The only remedy we have in this country is lawsuits. Not class-actions, either; individual lawsuits for $500k each, for egregiously prejudicing your individual rights guaranteed by the constitution. ten thousand or so of those, with the president's name in all caps (head of the Unitary Executive) listed as the defendant.
or, you know, you could try to make a well-regulated militia of 3D-printed pea shooters, so you can overthrow the largest and most heavily-armed military in the history of the world. that'll definitely work.
Myself, I appreciate the disclosure I'm being given that Scott McNealy was right all those years ago when he said we have zero privacy anyway. The government has the right to do whatever they want with their property. if you use/are their property (isn't that ARPAnet thing US military property?), expect them to enforce their interest in that property.
TL;DR for the downvoters (+6 to -2 in less than 20 minutes? hilarious): PROTEST BAD. LAWSUITS GOOD.
that's why I left your country. whole bunch of Short-of's.
That said, It's very good to know that Firefox is the safest of the three. If I ever again have the misfortune of advising windows users on the safest browser to use, I will definitely let them know that it would take far longer to compromise their passwords in firefox (even hours longer!) than the other browsers.
Myself, I'll stick to Firefox with the KWallet extension under Kubuntu.
I notice you didn't say my previous statement was in any way incorrect. to reiterate, I am accusing Microsoft of creating sockpuppets (now and in the past) on HN. If you would like some evidence, look at the posting histories of some of the loudest voices during the larger Windows 8 threads on HN; you'll find some awfully short (and focused) comment histories.
I've never been able to make Jingle/XMPP work right in Jitsi over localhost:9050, but this might be PEBKAC.
That said, if you're in court, you're pretty much guilty. It doesn't matter that you've done nothing wrong (no "innocent" plea, remember?); you're in their court, and that means someone has charged you and is demanding payment. "Guilty" means "to pay", according to Black's/Bouvier's. that means that Not Guilty is somewhere you don't want to be (committing a commercial dishonor in their court == contempt).
Just pay the fine (you can pay with securities/commercial paper if you don't want to use cash/cheques), and be done with the matter. Once you've settled, file a motion to expunge with a higher court in order to clear your record.
As the guilty, I guess I find being able to settle pretty relieving. :)
so, I'm not sure what Very Long Instruction Word being implemented in the A10 cores has to do with whether or not I understand basic arithmetic, so I'm going to assume you don't have any information on that, and will disregard that part of your grandparent post accordingly.
I'll take your silence about how the A10 is a much faster CPU than the low-power equivalent in the XBO/PS4 as agreement to these statements. Seems all we're doing is haggling over how much faster the GPU(s) in this unit are compared to the A10. I haven't found anything on AMD's site explaining these cores. I'd ask you to point me toward some documentation, but I expect you to return with an ad hominem again.
I'll also take your silence about how much more efficient linux can be with 256MB of RAM than windows as your agreement to these facts.
Still looking forward to any Jaguar-related documentation that you can find on AMD's site that covers my questions. thanks in advance.
