If public safety is his concern, there are many more dangerous things than terrorism :

Dead right you should think of the children. They're dangerous.

For 'one of the worst music publicity stunts of all time', please read 'something that annoys a tiny minority of users'.

But you have no credibilty, because you are an anonymous coward. Snowdon specifically renounced his anonymity, because he is not a coward.

In a democracy, the public IS a higher authority than the government. Sometimes, the officials forget this.

I know they're always ignored and this one fails to attack the most significant points - such as the government's treatment of Snowden as a criminal rather than a whistleblower showing up abuse.

However, lots of votes will at least make ignoring the call embarrassing. Even the americans are claiming to review the situation.

Because Windows is only there to support legacy programs, and they're most reliably supported by the OS they were originally written for. If I wanted to use some recent program that required Windows 7, that might be a different matter. But I don't know of any such program.

And that's the best site you can find for a datacentre ? Doesn't give me much confidence in your financial organisation's acumen.

And another .. there are plenty more of her gaffes, giyf. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/9345345/Theresa-May-accused-of-unacceptable-and-regrettable-behaviour-by-judge.html

So next week, holidays mean they're really scraping the barrel .. down to the 7th most senior UK politician

And May is a US patsy - she'll roll over for the RIAA, let alone the state department

So what happens when she's in charge ? I guess she sends in the police, pushes Assange to wherever her masters tell her, and then gets blamed / sacked as an apology for the resulting diplomatic outcry. Which is handy, as she's a liability the government would love to lose.

Either a bot, or an intelligent user who won't read the adverts. Same result for the advertiser.

Oh, wait, passphrase. duh.

You're assuming the loss is via a compromised computer. For me, the most likely loss of the key is laptop theft. So I want to ensure that isn't going to give an automatic login to the home machine. i'd prefer to have both key pair and password, but failing that I think password is preferable to key pair.

Why would you invest in a company that has lost confidence in it's own future ?

I run windows for supporting legacy apps that aren't sufficiently important to replace or make to work under Wine. So there's really no point in running Vista (nothing was written for it) or 7 (can't always run older software). It would just mean higher license and hardware costs for extended grief.

But the incarnation in current Debian (icedove 3, whatever that corresponds to) sucks. It was once fairly well-behaved, but now changes the screen format when you search, adds all sorts of stupid indentation and grouping to the accounts menu and generally behaves like a kid's been let loose with the feature list. Maybe it's time to go back to MH.
