Hopefully this article will help make it ubiquitous. Barbara Streisand effect in effect.
So they're going to destroy your reputation at a moments notice, by disclosing that they illegally spied on you and open themselves up to law suits.
Good luck with that. If you're in their crosshairs, you'll get bagged, tagged and shipped off to Gitmo, which is what would have happened to Snowden if was caught before he fled.
Face it, America is now being ran by people who don't believe the law applies to them.
Just now?
If she is so smart, then how come she got caught?
She didn't care, because she knows there won't be any consequences.
So, I have two options. I can shut up and never talk to anybody about topics relevant to my profession, or I can through trial and error attempt to find a way to deal with uninformed Internet police mucking up topics they don't know anything about using only the most kindergarten of rule sets to distinguish shitposts from honest criticism.
Like you, there are things I like about Microsoft, and things I don't. I post criticism about Microsoft quite often and don't seem to run into the same problems as you. Perhaps they just don't take me seriously enough, considering I have very little (read: no) influence on other posters opinions on here.
Any time I ever common on anything having to do with Microsoft, I get pummeled by a PR firm. But this is a *positive* post, no criticism, so maybe the minimum wage public opinion manipulators will leave me along this time.
FYI, they get paid *$8.00* per hour. With the amount of disdain you show for them, it's no wonder they hound you so much!
Imagine the reaction on the Left if, for example, Dick Cheney had EXCLUSIVELY used a private, non-government email server his entire time in office.
It would be *different*, because it was Dick Cheney (in other words, not their guy). Sadly, this would probably be one of the least egregious things Puppet Master-in-Chief Cheney has done.
This seems indicative of sense that the rules do not apply to me.
Nobody who would vote for Hillary Clinton will care about things like this.
That's a broad and largely inaccurate statement.
A lot of them will care very much, but not enough to vote for a candidate with much more serious flaws.
I highly doubt it, her cult of personality is too big. Articles defending her using the tu quoque defense are already popping up. Hillary Clinton could tap dance in stilettos on a box full of puppies and PETA would praise her for mercifully saving them from a life of enslavement. If you really cared, you would simply abstain from voting for that particular office. A vote for the lesser of two evils is still evil. If the only choices I had for 2016 were Clinton or Bush, I wouldn't vote for either.
There might be some hoopla on Twitter and Fox News for a few days, and then there will be some stragglers like with Benghazi, but it will mostly fade out of the mainstream media within a few hours from now.
What does this have to do with Benghazi? If anything there's a major difference in that Clinton actually did something wrong in this one.
The point isn't whether she did something wrong or not, the point was there will be very few people talking about this in the future, regardless of her actions. The media will quite simply ignore this because they will be in the tank for Hillary the way they were for Obama in 2008 & 2012. I didn't vote for Obama, but I was actually glad that he got elected in 2008, because that meant that neither Hillary Clinton nor John McCain would be president.

I think aside from the Slashdot crowd and like-minded folk, nobody really cared that these were pushed down. also, I don't feel strongly one way or the other if somebody steals your electronics.
They didn't "push" it per se. It showed up in your purchased music, and you were prompted to see if you wanted to download it. I'm not a huge U2 fan, but I did download it and give it a couple of listens. It's not a bad album, but yeah, the better approach would have been to just say it was free and let the user decide.
...that thinks the new icons actually look quite nice?
Probably not, but the icons make me think they were created in Paint. Yesterday, I had a chance to work on a Windows 10 machine. I didn't have enough time to notice them, as the computer kept freezing up when I was trying to change the desktop image.
You seem to be desperate to make some kind of point in this argument, but I don't see evidence of that happening. Are you being paid to post on Slashdot on this topic?
Yes, I make mad ca$h posting anti-Obamacare posts on Slashdot. You figured me out!
He talked about how this has directly helped him. Can you explain how this has directly hurt you?
I can give you 2 specific instances where Obamacare has turned into a pain in the neck for me.
So basically, what you could buy on your own now requires you to set up a doctor's visit, take time off of work, and wait for a pharmacists. This is what I have to do to get my OTC allergy medicine. You might not think that's a big deal, but this is a situation that affects millions of people. How many truly sick people aren't able to get a doctor's visit as soon as they might need because somebody who never used to have to visit a doctor now needs to waste a half hour just to get something they could have just gotten at their local grocery store before the rule changes in Obamacare? Not to mention the additional waits for people getting prescriptions and hours of productivity lost.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
