Comment Anymore, Google has become... (Score 1) 166

...synomous with being spied upon. Because of their past goodness I would like to defend them, but when even the login to their services defaults to "staying logged in" even though they present that staying logged in could be a security risk makes one question Google's ultimate motives here. One would think that if Google truly valued privacy above all else Google would do what ever it takes to keep their user's secure above all else. I hate to hate on someone who has done me so good in the past, but what Google does in the present is what counts.

Comment Being forced to submit... (Score 1) 529

Comment I'd have to say Linux (Score 1) 531

From productivity to timewasters, I'd be bankrupt if I had to pay for all the free software available to me due to it being being part of a Linux distribution. Yes, I know that much of the same software has been ported to proprietary systems such as Microsoft's and Apple's, but with Linux I know that from the ground up I can depend on the software in the base distro being free.

I have to disagree with you. There are many required courses that some subset of the student population just won't get. Take Social Studies, for example, no matter how many different cultures people are taught about they just can't imagine living in a culture that is not their own. At the very least, however, they should have learned that their are others who live lives that are very different than their own.
