Even if, medically and biologically, this diet is compatible with humans, do people really want to give up eating food for taste? The "spice of life" in a literal sense.

I thought this was common knowledge. All those reports that Bush was said to have been supplied with prior to 9/11, even days before.

It's no surprise that spying is ongoing. The sheer scale of the surveillance is what really irks me.

This implies that the petitions that don't follow the provisions are actually useful.

I thought my asteroids game in assembly was cool. Great job!

TL;DR: If the CAs are compromised, the protocols they use are compromised.

Doesn't Yahoo power the weather app, making that point meaningless?

Also, how does this make these companies "losers"? Competition is good for business, and the businesses that are in place and have current user bases will win out if they have better (or even on-par) products.

This... looks like Windows Phone.

Seems BS to me. Looks just like their "performance" pages for the Macbook Pro on the Apple website.

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass".

Uh... what exactly is being "innovated" here?

"Microsoft cannot provide those guarantees. Neither can any other company."

The most telling and most important line in the article. Recent days have made it abundantly clear that anyone under US jurisdiction is susceptible to scrutiny and surveillance.

Because complaining on the Internet is way easier than doing something proactive. Less dangerous, too.

The Wikipedia ideals of having open, unbiased, and free access to information and being able to freely collaborate and edit articles directly conflict. If editing is "free", so too is slander and misinformation.

Unfortunately, I have no good solution to this problem. But then again, neither does Wikipedia.

I wasn't aware people actually purchased Mac Pros with great regularity. I don't know of a single person who owns one. The lack of customization, absurd cost, and plethora of superior competitors seems to discourage most people from this particular market.

This always bothers me when I'm interviewing. I've gotten the "better suited candidate" as well as the "lack of experience" and "not right at this time" excuses. How does that help me in any way as a job seeker? I am, in some way, "not right" for the position. How? Too shy, or too forward? Too young or too old? Experienced in the wrong technologies, or not experienced enough in the right ones? Or both?

This just leads to depressing frustration. I want to improve and be the right candidate, but I don't know how and no one will help me figure out how.

Luckily, I have a job now. But God forbid when I have to start the interviewing process again.

Taking a bold dive into the depths of despair that is HN's Microsoft-friendly sub-community. Kudos, good sir, I applaud you!
