Good point with broadcast TV. For shows I enjoy on Netflix, I'll usually miss the latest season on live broadcast if I forget to set the DVR to catch the series. If I wait until episode 3, I've already missed 1 & 2. So I ca

As the OP explains, the knives in question are not illegal and not in violation of Google's policies. Additionally, other vendors selling the same items are not being banned. I think the "evil" part relates to discriminating against certai

I worry that most of the opposition to this bill is based on FUD that EFF is spreading. Having experience actually working in the security industry and knowing the limitations that this bill is trying to address, the ability of the governm

I personally liked how the examples seamed to start with worst-cast and progress toward their new possibly "best case" method. What do you think is gained by starting with the new result?

My concerns: * "proxy-less" is a bad term, it sounds like they're still using a proxy, it's just using https encapsulation along the way to hide this from the first few hops. * The participating entry-nodes (proxies?) could be systematicall

Will this app show the user how the congressmen plans to vote on current bills? Could the user upvote/downvote bills as an efficient way of sharing their opinion. Isn't this what letters and phone calls are turned into at best anyway? A ta
