I wasn't trying to ask for the literal difference...
That said, I prefer the idea of defaulting things like this to something sane and asking you on login if you want to opt-in versus putting more options in the installation process.
...Since many users might find this feature useful, consider displaying a dialog the first time a user logs in that asks if they would like to opt-in.'
How is this different than the suggestion in the summary to default to no and ask the first time you log in?
Why would I want to warn my enemies of my intentions?
-I had unprotected sex, I should go get a clothes hanger stuck in me in some back alley, and die of an infection if it doesn't work
No, you should go pay for your own abortion, or put the kid up for adoption.
-I had kids I can't support, they should be forced to live a life of squalor and misery for my mistake
No, you should put them up for adoption, or have your friends and family help you out, or figure out how to support your kids.
-I'm an addict, I should continue to spiral downwards until I die in the streets
I'm kind of with you on this one, I'm fine with paying for rehab for those who can't pay for it themselves, at least until it becomes clear that it's not helping and they're just going in and out of it, at which point it's probably better for them and society that they die as quickly as possible.
-I made shitty choices and now I'm poor, I should be forced to turn to crime to avoid starvation
Or you could just figure out how to get out of the situation you put yourself in, using any of a myriad of available options.
-I have a $25,000/year job but can't afford my mortgage, the government should watch the entire economy go down in flames rather than help me out
The economy isn't going to go down in flames if you can't pay your mortgage.
-I'm a bank and I've made a catastrophic series of worthless investment, the government should stand aside while others suffer horribly for my actions. Meanwhile I'll retire in luxury, since I've already collected millions in bonuses
If what the bank[er] did was legal then, yes you get to go retire in luxury while hopefully the loopholes that allowed you to do something so catastrophically stupid are closed.

I find children's programming to be offensive.
I just checked the size of my iPhone versus my hand, the photo has the right ratio.
I feel sorry for your girlfriend/wife.
Reading comprehension is your friend here.
There are left/right-wingers, moderates, and centrists.
left wing + left moderate + centrist + right moderate + right wing = pentachotomy.
And if you really want to take what the GP said to the extreme:
left wing + left moderate + left centrist + centrist + right centrist + right moderate + right wing = heptachotomy.
So while you're correct that there's nothing in what he said between moderate and extreme, there are definitely more than three things to choose from. In reality it's probably more like this:
left wing + moderate left wing + left moderate + left centrist + centrist + right centrist + right moderate + moderate right wing + right wing
I'm in a cube with two other people, but they both sit behind me.
Since I can't see behind me...
As a citizen of the USA I have the right to travel across the country freely. In a car, on foot, on a bus, etc. The government places no restrictions upon that travel when I am a passenger. As a passenger, or on foot, I and kill thousands of people at one time. Still the government places no restrictions on me.
The only time restrictions are placed on me is when I board a plane.
I would argue that the passenger of a plane offers no more threat than a guy walking down a street in manhattan, both can kill thousands at once. If that is so then why placemore restrictions on the passenger of the plane?
Damned phone wasn't logged in.
There is a big difference between driving a car and riding in one. Repeat offender drunk drivers can still be passengers in cars. Now do you understand what he was saying?
Precisely.
I am always at work.
Sometimes I am at work at home, sometimes I am at work at the office, and sometimes I am at work at some other location.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
