Blocking WhatsApp would be done by blocking their messaging servers. Preventing the software from entering the country is, of course, impossible. But if you can't send any messages with it it's useless.

Someone should step out of this strange fundamentalistic limited capitalistic thinking that only companies can provide encryption products. The best encryption software is open source: GnbuPG for email, TextSecure and Redphone / Signal for chats and calls on Android cq iOS, SMSSecure provides a secure SMS solution. Sourcecode is freely available, no government backdoors present.

Why stop at only four? 6 billion minds, all acting as one.

Humans acting as one mind. You will be assimilated, resistence is futile. We are superior.

There is power in repetition... Ceterum autem censeo American imperium esse delendam

Hey, Cato the Elder made it work for the Romans too!

Yes - never call it malice if it is adequately explained by stupidity.

That said, bloating feature-complete programs is unfortunately commonplace. And adapting GUI's according to the largest idiot's preferences seems to be the latest hype in UI development.

Unlikely, the maker of Palemoon doesn't like Australis as he explains on https://www.palemoon.org/layou....

No Auastralis is the main thing why most current Palemoon users use it instead of Firefox.

I don't think so, this is in the beginning much too expensive for that. You loose the equipment if there is a police raid so you try to limit the equipment costs as much as posible. That is why LED lights are not used very much in that sector too. They usually tap power illegally before the meter so more power consumption is no consideration (as long as the power lines are able to handle it).

Some 0-day leaks were found too, so I think MS will be quick to patch them.

We are hearing that excuse since windows phone 7: "but wait until the next version". It will fail too, since running Android apps won't be flawlessly (see Blackberry how that works out) and "universal apps" won't be developed outside MS since desktop users, where windows is large, are not interested in mobile apps but in full-sized desktop programs. The usage stats of the included windows 8 apps were dramatic, even among the windows 8 adepts.

They have a surplus on their balance sheet WITHOUT the debt payments. So they don't need to borrow if they give the banks the finger. Unformtunately the EU citizens were made to pay for the banks once again.

It's probably still better than my own translation...

Most users of windows phone can be added to that list too. Except those where MS-indoctrinated company MCSE's pushed it on them.

If you can't even do a force choke to bring the disbeliever back in line he has every reason to lack faith.

I'm used to offensive lawyers, got even complains from Kendrick Moxon in the 90's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendrick_Moxon) when anti-scientology websites were the issue of some lawsuits here. I survived that, so I'm affraid there won't be much lawyers who can intimidate me anymore. :-)
