Libertarian narcissist precious snowflake, of which 100% of Snowden supporters are.

We get it, your parents taught you that you were special and important and you can do anything you want when you grew up, so gubmint needs to stop getting in the way of how awesome you are!

Sorry kids, but you were taught incorrectly. Government will remain the central power in any society, not individuals. Your best bet as an individual is to figure out how you can derive your own strength from that power.

Remember, the central meaning of life is to gain power, of which everyone does in ever little thing they do.

And the biggest mistake libertarian narcissist precious snowflakes make is to think they have power over government. That is why they amusingly think their guns are going to protect them from a nuclear-armed federal government. (So funny.)

So, rather than make government weaker, which us socialists have no intentions of allowing anyways, your best response is to try and figure out how a strong, powerful government makes you more capable.

Once you figure that out, you'll figure out why government needs to be expanded, rather than limited. I would recommend you get on that program quick, as those in power have already figured out your fate for you.

In any case, one must never consider a high-school-dropout weasel to be a personal hero. He's the hero to the ignorant, not the intelligent. It's telling that no actual NSA employees support him, and these are the absolute smartest people in the world, doing far more insane innovative things than anything in private industry.

Another important tell that people are overlooking is how every single document release only confirms that the NSA is actively working hard to protect the privacy rights of Americans. Metadata is perfectly fine for government to collect. The Supereme Court has already stated so, in Smith vs. Maryland case, that metadata isn't private communications. And once it is established that metadata isn't private, government can do whatever it wants with that data. And for the actual private communications of US citizens (not metadata, which isn't private, and not foreigners, because fuck em), the NSA has filters to eliminate this data.

Think about it - if the NSA were actively trying to violate the privacy rights of Americans, why would they maintain a SECRET program to filter their data out?

Of course, the libertarian narcissist precious snowflake thinks too much of himself to think this through, so they continue to scream about how the NSA is bad.

It's because of graphic design that people use the web.

The layout is half the content.

Postscript is for fixed devices.

The issue that programmatic auto-flow systems like CSS regions try to solve is that the layout/text-flow changes with viewport dimension changes.

Honestly at this point, HTML should be obsoleted and everyone use an XML standard like RSS, or something semantic, and lay that out directly with CSS, since the entire web is converging on an blog-post/article-like data model.

Wordpress itself should be the equivalent data-model standard. Most CMSs revolve around that core data structure anyways. No need to build HTML from Wordpress, then lay that out with CSS. Might as well lay out the Wordpress-like data structure directly, without an intermediate HTML step.

With the web finally hitting magazine-quality typography, there's definitely a need for a proper layout engine that's flexible and can achieve exactly what graphic designers want.

CSS regions might not be it (or it might), but Google needs to offer something to replace it, because that's the closest thing the web had to offer magazine-quality layout. The web needs the equivalent to inDesign.

If they do not, everyone will just layout for iPad (Safari), and that will be considered standard, while other other layout engines like Chrome remain unsupported.

Apple is very good at pushing typography, and had Google offered something that can replace CSS Regions, Apple would have considered it.

Because no one buys Starcraft to play the single-player game?

OK we get it. We understand your beloved Linux/Windows/Android sucks compared to Mac OS X & iOS. You are angry at the world because of that, and at how terrible the Linux/Windows/Android designers are compared to the more talented Apple designers. That is fine, you can remedy your fail by switching to Apple's systems. Also, you don't have to cry EVERY time someone mentions Steve Jobs.

My recommendation to you is to drop your silly Linux/Windows/Android system, and get a real Unix system like Mac OS X. It won't be cheap, but in the real world, no one wants to work with cheap people anyways, so you're gonna have to spend money regardless.

Also, get a Mac because it's a closed source system, which is much higher-quality than an open-source system.That is because design-by-committee is always worse than design-by-responsible-individual.

In general, if a person recommends Linux/Android/Windows in a professional environment, they should immediately be fired.

Over 75% of the people I spoke with out of over 3000 said the number one thing they want is to cut spending, cut taxes, and reduce the reach of the federal government.

Which is the exact opposite of what they should work for. All of the above is a good way to make an economy worse.

You actually need to increase spending, raise taxes, and increase the reach of federal government to get out of a recession.

Tell them you need to spend money to make money, and that economic growth doesn't happen by itself.

Economists generally agree to this, which is why Bush & Obama pushed for stimulus spending, and that's how we got out of the horrible recession in the first place.

Really, where did people get the completely fucking stupid idea that cutting government spending and taxes was supposed to help an economy? I get that they don't want to spend their hard-earned tax dollars, but that's such a low-level thinking. Your money is the least of your problems. You're better off having government spend your money on socialized projects to improve the economy in general.

And government is the ONLY institution capable of improving an economy. Individuals and corporations cannot do that by themselves, since they do not have full control of aggregate spending. Once an individual/corporation spends money, that money is no longer their concern. They don't care about causing further spending & economic growth to happen, because that's not their problem.

Only government is the solution.

We really need to get people off the teat of private corporations and increase social spending. Corporations and individuals are just not capable of growing an economy by themselves.

Somewhere somehow these idiots were taught that "small government = good".

We need to get them to stop thinking around such horrible ideas. Maybe school failed them or something, but they need to be educated on what actually works in an economy, not what they think works in an economy.

Javascript/jquery front ends, php/python/ruby/sql backends.

Objective-C for iOS.

Those will keep you employed for the next 10 years.

Shouldn't you be fighting for freedom or something?

They should stand their ground and consider design usability first and support H.264.

Users don't care about moronic preachy libertarian ideals like open format.

Usability > Idealism.

Don't preach. Just do.

These Russian hackers know their shit.. almost as good as the NSA.

There's a good case to be made for the NSA to go after them at this point.

Who's against the NSA now??

Yes but the mouth-breathing freedom loving 12 year olds that infest this site wants to scream about the NSA whenever possible.

These poor people.. they know not of power and the limits to their own powers, as they suffer from narcissism because these precious snowflakes were incorrectly taught they could do whatever they want because 'murica is a free country.

After all, these are the same dumbasses that think their handgun is going to defend them against a nuclear-armed federal government.

Sorry kids, but the NSA is going to do what it will, because we liberal socialists approve of it, and we have the power in government to make sure of that.

You will have to go back to worshipping your high-school dropout Dell repairman hero.

lol @ windows/linux/android fanboys.

Sucks that you guys don't even have real Unix on your desktops.

You'll have to get a real operating system.

It's supposed to be bootable.

If it includes 2 large Skylake type cores (for GUI responsiveness), in addition to the many smaller compute cores, you might end up seeing this in the Mac Pros or other workstations.

Right now Apple is making the most innovative computers in the market. Nothing else comes close. All of these other vendors are basically the equivalent to home-brew junk.

It's amazing that no one else in the world can make an uncompromised workstation-class product that uses only 1 fan. THAT in itself is some amazing engineering right there.

It will be a long time before anyone else even comes close, perhaps another 10 years if at all. I suspect PC vendors are going to die off while still clinging to the AT case design from 30 years ago.

Until then, we will be stuck with the whining from the Windows/Linux fanboys always trying to explain how their 12-fan monstrosity is somehow superior.
