Let's ask the NSA!

Sorry, didn't know I needed to source my opinion. I've tried several versions of both Free- and PC-, I've tried to get help on official forums, a few Google Groups, and some of the larger IRCs. I did read the Handbook. It did help with installation, but it wasn't much help getting my Broadcom wireless working.

Where shall I submit my sworn affidavit and list of personal references?

I can (unfortunately) second this. When I tried to install on my netbook and asked for help, I got many variations of RTFM... which if I could find one that was written in some semblance of English I would. Most of the BSD documentation I've seen is... somewhat less than user friendly.

I don't think anyone is actually saying e-cigs are a good thing, just that (compared to 'analog smokes) they are a better thing. I've been using e-cigs myself for about a year, and I concur with most of the previous anecdotes; I smell better (in both ways), I feel better, and I'm saving money.

Anyone who blindly says "e-cigs are healthy, great and fun!" is an idiot. E-Cigs and analog cigs are like American politics; neither is actually good, one is just less bad.

Seems to me there's an easy fix. In order to hold a patent, you must demonstrably make, sell, support or otherwise profit from whatever the patent is for*. That incentivizes patent owners to use them for more than bargaining chips, and discourages people from hoovering up patents with only the intent to troll.

* 'Profit' does not include litigation.

Maybe 'for the people'... but unless you count Android, I think it has a ways to go before it can be considered 'of the people'.

calibre is one of those apps that I didn't know I needed until I started using it, now it's pretty much indispensible. Mad props to Mr. calibre Developer Dude!

Not to make light of the situation, but did anyone else glance at the headline and see 'Search for Evil Nemesis Continues?'

Time. It's a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

"Thank goodness for AppleCare+" in Russian?

No laws means that consequences are pretty much impossible, as there's nothing to violate to incur consequenses on. And people generally know their version of right and wrong; there's dozens of concepts from Sharia to Poligamy to Homosexuality that many people are absolutely convinced are 'right', and just as many absolutely convinced are 'wrong'; who's to say which is correct? 'Do what thou will' may look good on paper, but there's simply way too many loopholes...

FTA:
"At the end of the day, experts from both companies recognized that building a YouTube app based on HTML5 would be technically difficult and time consuming, which is why we assume YouTube has not yet made the conversion for its iPhone and Android apps."

It's tooo hard!

If you're about to leak your employer's secrets onto the Internet and seek asylum in a foreign country, it's probably best that you don't give notice.

I see someone else has read Ender's Game...

I wonder how long till my ATC (Average Time Conscious) shows up in my annual review...
