I disagree with the gp, but why is keepass being denied? I've found it to be a reliable application, doesn't appear to duplicate any function (of Apple's products) and even just being able to read keepass db would be valuable to me. Tempted by the other password managers, but no bites yet.

I love my iphone, just as I'm sure I would had I been able to purchase an Android phone for the same price. The iphone works perfectly for me where perfectly means does everything I purchased it to do. (It actually does more than I purchased it for, so bonus for me.)

Well, this is why everyone needs to become a financial member of the ROA. Accuracy comes first, people!

Bloke you have the wrong person to be throwing that accusation at. Mr Eric Schmidt is the person to be aiming at.

Remember I was asking for a lower IQ rendition? You may need to spell out what is it about exhibit 1 that demonstrates Randians tendency to:

stamp their feet when anyone points out that eventually, at the end of the day, you have to work and get along with other people.

I'm also amazed you conclude that Totenglocke is a sad lonely miserable bastard. Totenglocke doesn't seem entirely objective(ist) either; rather a passionate person frustrated in the attempt to persuade other biases.

Totenglocke makes an anecdotal claim that counters your definition of Objectivists. Is it possible for you to rationalise your claim why Objectivists are so pathetic?*

* Thats my summary of your characterisation.

Ah, is there a starting point to obtaining knowledge of the philosophies of Ayn Rand? I've done a precursory search at google/wikipedia and it seems a little like I'd need to study her first to get an idea of where to start. Is there a Dummies Guide to Ayn Rand? Dibs if there isn't... There is a Beginners guide, but I was hoping for something at a lower IQ level.

Your #1 tip should be #2. #1 should be IMMEDIATELY password protect all accounts with a strong password, which is the default tip for all OSes (Can someone tell me if any semi-mainstream OS can do passphrases or common non-alphanumeric characters? Passphrases seem to be easier to remember than passwords.)

Mutation in action baby; not much to say now that your intelligent design has been trumped?

That is probably not a bad Idea. If apt is called without user rights automagically it is installed per user. Is there a reason this hasn't been done?

Got any evidence to back that up?

We (known technology) can't yet create let alone string N.T.s together in a volume large enough to be usable as wires, barring the most specialised of (short) cases. When we do, electrical wires will have to compete with uses as structural wires. I'm presuming that unaligned tubes could be used in composite materials for larger areas generally.

Luckily, there are elections to balance the power.

And a good laugh was had by all.

You missed that bit.

If you think that either Hotmail or yahoo are equal to Gmail than I can only conclude you still use pine.

Remember that Linus is European? The period is thousand place mark. The Linux kernel number system is actually shorthand for 2,600,320.

I think that Google gets the free pass because they have so far shown themselves to be the least intrusive, paternalistic and/or come the closest to giving us what we want. And they stand out a fair distance from the rest of the bunch.

Most of us acknowledge that there isn't a free lunch, so Google *so far* has been enabling the internet to function on its technical capabilities while making a profit. Surely you recognise that a lot of business models block the capabilities of technology to bolster their profits? Google seems to take the opposite approach. This often leads to businesses complaining about their methods, but consumers/customers/collaborators are enabled.
