Or perhaps men just experience emotions less intensely, thus have less need to vent them.

There's a difference between offering lots of nannying for those that want it and forcing your nannying upon everybody.

It is. It just protects against fewer problems.

Every type of backup method has drawbacks and benefits.
If there existed a perfect backup method, we would have only that method.

Redundancy makes it very easy and fast to recover data, but lacks security against localized physical problems and malicious software. It would be a perfectly valid first layer of backup and sufficient for backing up reproducable information such as downloaded/scanned/ripped media. It protects against accidentally deleting files or hardware problems. For less easily reproducable information you probably want some additional backup layers.

There are several hundred other countries to choose from.
My own country is slowly turning into a nanny state as well, but we're not nearly at USA-levels of government control yet.
When we do, there are some fine scandinavian countries still keeping it relatively sane and some other regions on the earth where you still have some freedoms.

The trauma caused by the police and child protective services far outweigh any damage that could have rationally and reasonably been expected otherwise.

If everybody wants to use that technology, why would it be sad?

Only for sufficiently big companies, and even then it's not going to happen overnight. If you can build a solid product to fill that transition gap for a ~10 year period, you can make a lot of money.

Here's the thing; what YOU think might be "common good" might not be what other people think is "common good".
I'm pretty sure the assholes that kill cartoonists think they are doing it for the "common good".

Subjective values must never limit freedom of speech.

How do I translate "trampoline" without reading the entire freakin' maillist history?
This is slang and you won't find the intended meaning it in a dictionary.

The summary could use a bit of translation, instead of merely copying content off a maillist post intended for a very specific group of kernel specialists using slang terminology.

You're not alone; none of us want to bring our work home.

Software doesn't want anything, it just does what it's told.
Your labour though, definitely DOES want to be free, so why are you getting paid for it?

To be fair, since download.com and entire CNET is actively involved in pushing malware, I wouldn't be surprised if any non-Windows downloads they might offer would try to push malware as well.

And plain wrong in many places.

There's nothing about either Node or PHP that forces you to use or not use HTML or service calls.
Same for separation of concerns (which pretty much boils down to the same thing).
For instance; both PHP and Node handle SQL equally well, i.e. they can both hook up to most databases and let them deal with SQL.
Same for JSON. Just because it kinda looks like Javascript and started out loosely based on it, doesn't mean Javascript handles it differently.
I also don't think these two were ever "old friends who went separate ways". They started out separate.

Intelligence is recognizing failure.
Wisdom is acting upon that.
