I'm pretty fed up with this kind of stuff so I decided to join the EFF today.

I can't believe they sold out, I thought they were underground!

Wait, users can install new keys on their machines? What's the issue then?

But there are all sorts of sentences in that post that don't make sense with "now" tacked onto the end of them, wouldn't that bother you?

I have an old peek and a charger. Do I already have what I need to start hacking away when the dev environment tools are available?

If it works well for them that's awesome, but that signup stinks of elitism for me. "You can't do some simple calculus? You must have nothing to add to the discussion."

I bet Ruby's never caused an ecological disaster.

"Those who chose other licenses, do so for reasons you should respect if you intend to benefit from their work." Of course. Authors are free to release software under whatever terms they like, and people who use the software are bound to abide by those terms. Let me be clear, I don't think that it's OK to violate the GPL. I was just saying that I don't really like the GPL.

Alright, Free Software isn't the appropriate term for the type of open-source license that I appreciate. I apologize for my poor choice of terms.

I'm not saying it's OK to violate the terms of open source licenses, but the GPL has never fit with my idea of what Free Software should be like. I see Free Software as a gift given to the world as a whole, regardless of what they plan to do with it. Thus I see GNU and the FSF as terrible gift-givers.

Is there a secret crappy version of the Kindle Fire that amazon is sending to Hacker News readers? Mine is fine at those three things.

Is that the best unsubstantiated diss you can come up with? Here are four better sounding and equally valid ones.

node.js killed my dog. CoffeeScript gives you diarrhea. a time-traveling Scala user killed JFK. using Erlang is an unforgivable sin.

Might get better results by making reference to science and glorifying Dawkins the savior as the reason for the season. The free thinkers are trained to gather around and financially support anything with Dawkins' name in it.

This effect is not an accident. It is the result of organized back-patting that happens all the time on the Internet

Can we also get a terrorist flagging button for hacker news please?

Hey guys, I accidentally all of our data. Is this dangerous?
