You think they'd hide something nasty then explain what they'd done in black and white?

Having said that, are we going to discover in a year or two's time, that for the last 20 years the NSA (and other bodies) have contributed code to every single open source project out there, and that no-one's actually bothered to check? (You need time, motivation, skills (if you're going to find anything that's not totally obviously written) etc)

Surely even in the UK it's not illegal to follow other people's tweets?

> You say that like it's a bad thing

He's saying it like it's obviously impossible, like more than 50% of schools being above average.

Yeah, but clickety click. Click. Click. Race. Shock. Money. Lives. Click click. Life or death. Click. Choice. Kerching! We have a winner! Kerching!

You know when they get it on facebook messenger; it tells you. You have no idea when they get it via sms, or even IF they got it. If their phone is turned off, lost, of they're abroad then the network might try delivering for a few days, then give up.

But sure, you know they'll get it on their phone because the system is too lame to work anywhere else; messenger, hangouts etc lets them receive it on their phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, or anyone else's device they've logged into.

You can chat with Skype. I don't pay to receive calls but I do to call people abroad, so voip is the only sensible solution there. You can get a headset for £5 or less and use (on a desktop) with any client. Whatsapp being phone only is what kills it for me. I don't understand why Facebook didn't announce a fix for that the day they bought them. I don't want to have to chat via a mobile phone keyboard and try and cut and paste links etc into it when i'm setting next to a desktop with a keyboard and a 25" monitor.

Racist? A lot of Chinese people say L when they mean R and vice versa. Pointing this out isn't racist.

And all the syncing into your Google account.

I want a per-country blacklist/whitelist, so I never have to worry about foreigners attacking my account. Two factor on top of that. Too much to ask?

Yeah you run it on a VM. Everyone's using VMs all the time now, right?

If people don't want to use it then nobody else can force them. Or care, come to that. I'll continue to use it no matter how specious the arguments for not using it become.

Yes but that's an even stupider name.

Realizing there's a commercial opportunity to take advantage of, you mean?

Frustrating. I had to setup a friends iPad to connect to a network, couldn't easily tell if I was typing upper-case or lower-case for each character. Took a couple of attempts before realising that the keys don't change case on the screen keyboard.
