No, you hang up first, silly!

Well, so long then.

Great! I can't wait for you to not read many more!

So how that "stop reading /." thing going for you?

You're absolutely right. I would correct the error if I could.

Clearly your approach of bitching anonymously about it has yielded the results you're looking for. It's YRO, I know what YRO is used for in actuality, and I'll decide whether or not to read a YRO article based on my mood.

Demonstrate this. Seriously, provide actual facts to prove that these people have an IQ between 0 and 25. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're stupid; it means that if you have to resort to calling them stupid that you're either unwilling or incapable of having a civilized conversation.

Good. Fuck off.

YRO may be an acronym for that, but clearly you haven't been paying attention to how it's actually been applied over the past 15 years, which as I stipulated, has not been 'News for nerds.'

Clearly the people who submitted it feel differently and...

...timothy agrees with them. He's an editor. Determining what and what does not matter to the majority of his readers by his judgement is specifically what he is hired to do. And if you don't like his editorial choices, you don't have to read them. Seriously. You can go under settings, click the exclusions tab, and filter out his posts entirely. Or filter out topics you don't want to read about, like say, the Zimmerman trial. Or, as you seem inclined to do, stop reading /. entirely. No one is going to miss your pissant whining.

(A) This is under YRO, which has not been strictly 'News for nerds' for as long as I've been a registered user.

(B) This was the first practical test of FL's stand-your-ground law, so it does fall under the category 'Stuff that matters'

(C) Timothy only posted it, which I infer to be at the behest of a lot of other users who felt that it was either NFN and/or STM

This story is filed under YRO, which historically has encompassed far more than just online rights. The story heading used to include the YRO header, but that's been gone for a while.

Gorilla glass does need protecting, just not from minor scuffing. I have a couple of deep gouges in my phone's screen from my keys when I made that mistake.

Not so. Enchantment is about pre-ordained heterosexual marriage and the struggle of the Christian partners against pagan deities. It's a thinly-veiled showcase of his beliefs.

No, boycotting the business of someone whose beliefs you despise is called the free market. Christians do it all the time. Whether or not someone can enjoy a movie is incidental to whether or not they choose to do so. Personally, I boycotted the movie Powder because the director was a convicted child molester. I don't give a shit whether or not the movie was any good. Disney knew of his history when they hired him, and I won't give them a dime of my money for that product.

Exactly how is this story pushing that agenda? It's pointing out that more respondents to the poll view him unfavorably than do favorably. Nowhere does it imply that he has no support.

However, it does NOT state that 33% voted "Snowden did the right thing." It merely shows that 33% of the respondents to the poll viewed him favorably, and it's quite a stretch to infer that they think he did the right thing from that response.

How exactly is the poll in this story a push poll? It makes a neutral summary of the issue, and then asks for an opinion if the respondent has one.

I'm pretty sure he's facing far worse than apathy and public disapproval.

I guess my point is that it's vulnerable. MiTM is particularly bothersome for anything that doesn't require a physical exchange of OTPs. As for keeping up the MiTM attack, you really only have to keep it up until your purpose is achieved and you no longer care about the attack being discovered. For long-term surveillance this is a problem, but if you're looking to swipe some confidential time-sensitive information, this should be fairly trivial.
