Am I the only one who thinks that sounds pompous?

I can understand maybe being spammed from recruiters, but replying like this just brings you down to their level. It also makes software devs seem like jackasses. That would be the case if you were trashing Java or Python or any other language. I just don't really see the point of replying like this.

Why should they give a public explanation for something that should've stayed internal in the first place? This should've stayed between the OP, GitHub and GH's HR team.

That's probably not too wise as Google submitted data for... everything.

Hopefully, they get higher quality support reps with better understanding of English. I'd also like the ability to be able to call someone, that's something that GoDaddy does better. I guess they take advantage of the cheaper technical salaries in Eastern Europe though so that's why customers aren't able to talk to someone.

That is the most ridiculous thread I've ever seen from a company. Not only did the employee take a shot at people (self hosting solutions is wrong) he also epically, never delivered what the people were asking for even after FIVE YEARS!!

I'm really wondering why he even continued to reply to the thread.

Does any one else find it odd a privacy centric phone's website won't load without scripts, cookies, etc? I would think they would have a text only version if items failed to load properly...

This is worse than what the NSA is doing as this will have a direct impact on EVERYONE, not just electronic users. This will also affect the poor and underprivileged more proportionately as well. I wonder why news organizations are not getting more involved and publicizing how bad this treaty truly is. It's ridiculous that governments who say they promote democracy demand that treaty negotiations are completely secret.

Can someone answer this question:

From a business perspective why is Google and Facebook getting involved in this and calling for the government to not track users. Won't that just bring more attention to their two business models of... wait for it... tracking users and selling their information?

Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Regina, Halifax, Edmonton, Kelowna would all be places that are cheaper than the normal ones. Also, remember that the smaller towns you go to are usually more cheaper. It just depends how much snow you want!

(Apologies for posting this as I know it doesn't add to the discussion but I have no idea how else to contact an MS engineer.)

Help!!!

On the off chance anyone at Microsoft reads this, my Microsoft account got deleted by a bug in Live Domains and I haven't been able to successfully contact anyone to report it or fix it. The forums have been useless and now I can't do anything MS related without my account including my phone!

My e-mail is in my profile.

This is a reply to gknoy:

I would suggest Spider Oak, however, their support is not timely and there's currently a bug in the Windows 8 client that doesn't let it work. But if they get those issues sorted it could be a decent service.

Could someone please tell me why I can't reply to any comments that are below the third level? The reply link simply disappears!

Edit: Now that I've made this statement there's a reply to gknoy, but not the ones below him or to o0-0o. This is really weird.

Edit 2: Upon refreshing, there's now a reply link to o0-0o but not the other ones below gknoy.

I would be surprised if it hasn't already been extracted and added to the governments collection.
