Of course there is a good dose of very apparent intellectual dishonesty in Evolution deniers, but I think there is also another underlying cause. We see them refer to their "gut feel" type anecdotes often. If they except the idea that "small-e" evolution occurs, and perhaps that the earth is...

Shuttleworth's post if pretty misleading I think. Mir is currently just a shim under X.org (XMir). It doesn't really do much. It's just another layer in the stack. All it does it take the output from X and put it on the screen. All the apps still talk to the X server. No native Mir apps...

Yeah but, hope and change and transparency from a young Washington outsider were meant to fix it all.

The worst thing about this whole thing is that in a news cycle or two every mainstream media outlet will be on to the next Kardasian ass pic or whatever sells ads and the whole thing will be forgotten. And the spooks and wonks will realize they can do this stuff with little consequence.

So glad this domestic spying program prevented the Boston bombings... oh wait... So glad it made catching the perps so fast and easy... oh wait... May if the feds had access to Facebook, Gmail, and Skype as well as phone records they could have... oh wait...

The web has come to so much success because it is open. Sure you can obfuscate Javascript to some extent, but it is rare. I'm sure many on this site have had a peek at other sites JS/CSS/HTML. I'd be worried about a web where asm.js became the norm. Closed applications would be the norm.
