What about the Truecrypt successor Veracrypt?

I see that this is essentially going back to what they did with MS-DOS. It was essentially overlooked that people upgraded DOS to latest version on their old machines because it at least did mean that they were tied into the Microsoft environment and would therefore purchase other M$ products.

Just tie the users to your platform, then you have them in your hand.

I don't see a problem with supporting both.

In an election you have to go for the one you dislike the least overall, not the one you love for one particular question. But in the US elections money and belonging to one of the two big parties is more important than representing the voters.

At least until the voters realizes that it actually matters if they vote on someone else.

It's not blood - it's red transmission fluid.

That's a completely different issue and a question of immaterial rights. Not a question of banning on the reason for being morally questionable.

I wonder how many games that will end up having hidden content (easter eggs) with some questionable material not visible when the game is approved.

Banned games? None that I know of where I live (Sweden).

Of course - there are people crying that this or that should be banned for moral reasons, but unless it's classed as breaking some law like distribution of child pornography or being a trojan it's not going to be stopped.

Add to it the fact that it will probably not work - to those using it as "medicine" it's only the real deal or nothing. Unless you are able to flood the market entirely and use "an offer you can't refuse" deals with so much fake stuff that it's impossible for the poachers to sell their stuff.

Do TFA refer to US labor unions? In Japan there are unions for Toyota employees.

The problem has been that the US labor unions not always have worked with the interest of the employees as a goal but just been a wing of the organized crime, which means that unions in the US are often seen as a problem both by corporations and by employees.

Also consider the fact that as long as the corporations treats the employees well and follows the laws that exists the need for unions is low. So before complaining about using "non-union labor" you may first have to look at the situation at hand if the workers really are lagging behind in benefits and salary compared to unionized labor.

It's a two-edged weapon.
  - With anonymity you can speak while having a low risk of being harassed.
  - With anonymity you will not have the same level of credibility, and you need to build your case more thoroughly.

So if some anonymous troll refers to someone as a pedophile it's not credible and most people will and shall ignore that.

A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.

Actually - no, most of them aren't on Facebook.

Facebook is a pool of exhibitionists that don't care if they are tracked by a large number of commercial interests trying to figure out where they shall market their stuff. The reason why it's 'free' is because you are the merchandise they sell - and everything you 'like' at a vendor is one more thing that adds to the pool.
