We're, what, abut four decades on now and you can't even get a mail client with the tools integrated out of the box. The laws on the books effectively prevent it. Until that changes, the'll be no progress made on that front. Maybe in this climate, a few candidates running on a pro-privacy platform would be viable, but I doubt it'd get enough traction to make a difference.

While we're on the subject though, what the fuck is up with mail client interfaces getting worse and worse? The UNIX text-based clients provide far better interfaces than any graphical client I've ever used, and they're currently falling into disrepair. Hell, I don't think anyone's actually touched the VM code in about half a decade, and it has the best threading and thread-handling options I've ever seen in any mail client. Kill-by-thread from any message in the thread makes keeping those useless IT notifications from the company a snap. It also had pretty decent integration with GPG, even if you did have to add it in yourself. Paired with the MIT remembrance agent, it did a great job of reminding you what you did to fix a problem six months ago when the exact same problem cropped up. I've never seen functionality like that in any other mail client.

I still have a mail file or two that go back to the mid 00's. For a while I was using Emacs VM as my mail reader. It still has the best threading and thread handling options of any mail reader I've ever used, and I'm still considering going back to it. Paired up with the MIT remembrance agent, you could be typing out an E-Mail and it would remind you of a similar problem you had months earlier. You could also index your source tree in with it, so if you were discussing something going on in code, it would start popping up lines in source files as possibly matching. Especially if you comment as much as the project I was on at the time did. It was awesome in all the ways that gmail and outlook aren't.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about! That's cool just watching it on a flat screen, must be amazing with a VR headset.

1. Get government to create a security rating (required for government contracts) that requires software audit reports.
2. Have companies submit reports to you as part of the process.
3. Charge companies for the security rating and reviewing their reports.
4. Profit AND build a repository of zero-days.

If her name was Caitlyn and she had big manly hands, it's likely your average woman WAS a 1960s man.

A lot of the extreme sports guys are bringing GoPro cameras with them now. If you could get a 360 degree camera into a viable form factor, it'd be a no-brainer to switch. Watching a youtube video of a skydive is kind of neat, but I think actually being along for the ride would be a gamer changer.

Our HVAC ducts were lined with safe, fireproof asbestos.

That's a legitimate super-power right there. And it's not very often that a fictional superhero saves 2 million anything. Just sayin'.

Well the first couple I spent in a giant gin and tonic. It kind of went down hill after that.

Just a bunch of mindless jerks who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

What? I've been waiting for decades for a question that line would make a good answer to!

Reminds me of that old joke, the punchline to which is "What do you mean, 'wrong hole'?"

The feel I get from it is those were the games they could get for cheap on Craig's List. And Gary had a level 60 paladin before he discovered sex and quit the game.

I couldn't help but noticed you were unemployed. AMAZON.COM is hiring, GAME DEVELOPERS, right now! Of course, if you wanted to obtain a fine job at a company like, AMAZON.COM, you COULD TRY a job listing board like the one at dice.com! It has plenty of jobs that would fit perfectly for a, SLASHDORT READER, like yourself!

Has anyone kickstarted a completely open source video card yet?

Oddly, Penny Arcade has this covered.
