Fuck off and die.

This whole internet activism bullshit has gotten out of hand. Hey, stop using JavaScript if you want to put your money where your mouth is.

Not using Firefox will change nothing.

Here is to Microsofts shit ad campaign "Scroogled" - first they snoop on all Skype communication and now they admit to reading emails LOOKING for things.

I fully expect the daft ad men at Microsoft to continue their pathetic ad campaign.

Glass houses and all that.

Please. If you want to go work at a startup, you accept the risks of working at a startup. I've known plenty of people that tried to swing it at a startup and ran back to their previous jobs a month later because it didn't go as planned.

Startups are RISKY. That is the risk/reward. If you want to take low pay in return for stock, then pay a lawyer to make sure your options are worth something.

I've heard the pitches before "We will pay you half your current salary, but the risk is worth the reward!" - please - I am not a partner so there will be no big reward. Get fucked.

Want something that pays decent and you won't work 80 hours a week? Find a stable job at a firm thats been around for awhile.

Yeah, because politicians have real long term goals, you know with having to get elected ever 2-6 years. They really plan for the future. rofl

Name the names. Sorry, I simply don't buy the reasoning at all. If the problems were so bad you want to "stop it all together" then you indicate who that person is.

The adults are talking here, pipe down.

Not even that, lets say you have a "Cloud" based App. You have to maintain your APIs on the server so they are backwards compatible.

We've rolled out around 16 updates in 16 months for our software. New features, bug fixes, etc. While even our X.0 software will work with the API in X.16, it takes a lot of work to ensure that you are backwards compatible.

Eventually we will break that, but it isn't all that trivial, especially for a small team.

Your failure to see the problem with the wife having any influence inside the walls of the building indicates you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

I've seen Bank of America (no longer know if this is true) specify "password must be between 8-16 characters."

Why would you set a ceiling - unless you are storing them in plain text...

When they are fully funded by taxes alone. Please, it is virtually impossible to get rid of any police officer for anything. Look at the CA Dorner case. Police shot at two cars of innocent people and nothing happened to them - at all. And people worry about this. Bullshit.

Using company hardware and resources to do anything is stupid in 2014.

Want to read your personal email, chat, facebook? Use a phone or tablet.

Consider that updates are done via firmware that is downloaded and stored on computers at local dealerships (They aren't downloading the updates for every single car they update).

How difficult would it be for any moderately skilled hacker to compromise those machines to side load along with the updates?

So the idea that the dealer is somehow safer, is purely insane.

We bought two pair for our company to play with. I have one and my business partner has another.

The only real use we have had for them is taking videos and pictures of our kids. Don't get me wrong, they are FANTASTIC for that.

But both of us really can't find the use for them, other than a cool method of capturing video. Not $1500 worthy, wait for the commercial version.

We are a healthcare startup and we get the usual metasploit attacks, but more important we are phished like crazy.

The information is valuable and because it is, healthcare firm staff will be easy pickings for being targets.

They simply don't know what they are doing (for instance, there is a 90% chance your doctor is using SMS/MMS to communicate about patients)

lol, you don't have to register a thing with the USPTO to have enforceable copyright. What a preposterous position.
