True, although at least it solves the problem of them setting on fire.

Whereas you are a troll without even that much of an objective.
Kubuntu isn't good enough?
If you really think the NSA has any meaningful domestic restraint, hey, that's your call. But that you imply that every country in Latin America is a police state is pretty much a conversation ender for me.
Everyone has law enforcement, not everyone has no knock raids that go wrong so often it's a meme. And the NSA clearly has a free hand in the U.S. as well, so that's not much of an argument. I would consider setting up a service in Hong Kong, most Scandinavian countries, Canada, and a few countries in Latin America and the Caribbean before I would consider the U.S., the particulars of the situation would narrow it down.
What I don't understand is why anyone runs any service with any sort of privacy angle from the U.S. There are freer countries with good Internet access. Pick one, and put all those U.S. subpoenas on the bottom of the birdcage, where they belong.
Unfortunately, the government seems to think that it is in the public interest to keep this stuff secret.
I don't think they actually give a shit about the public interest. It's just expedient for them to say they do.
I am a patriot and I love my country, even as imperfect as it is, and even though it is the worst most oppressive country that has ever existed... except for all the others.
The sad thing is that it sounds like you really believe this. Sure, it's far from the worst in that there are regimes out there that make today's U.S. look like the Boy Scouts, even with its no knock raids, indefinite detention without trial, mass surveillance, and the like. But if you think there's nowhere better out there, you're willfully ignorant.
Agreed 100%. Moreover, use of these sorts of weasel words that "journalists" love so much is part of the problem.
I don't deny anyone a reasonable profit, but what's reasonable depends on which side of have's/have-nots you might rest on.
No, what's reasonable depends on whether the "haves" are picking people's pockets to get that way. Unfortunately, thanks to our corporatist system the answer is "yes" depressingly often.
Pretend he said "consulate", and then laugh. It was a joke, not a geography lesson.
We the Living was pretty good. And Anthem is so short it doesn't matter. But the others... yeah I read them, but usually don't recommend them.
Yes, I've always thought the approach of U.S. policy makers of completely disregarding criticism is more efficient than the approach of Chinese policy makers of trying to stop it and responding to it when it happens.
Evidently the Starfleet Corps of Engineers designed your BS-o-meter, since it didn't have any circuit breakers.
And not press-ganged, but Shanghaied.
Your program is sick! Shoot it and put it out of its memory.
