In fairness, my lack of trust for Cisco products pre-dated the Snowden revelations, and were based on the products themselves.

Nothing I've seen since has caused me to change my opinion.

OTOH, sounds like you made the right call on hiring :)

Well, put enough energy through the ultrasound transducer and you can guarantee there's brain trauma present.

Not sure that's how you meant it, though ;)

Caveats: this is in Australia, and I believe we've had legal advice a few times encouraging us to stop, because it could expose us to litigation.

Why do you draw that distinction? Do you believe it's possible to work for Facebook without at least indirectly benefiting the company as a whole?

What is the difference to me, as an individual, what happens to the wealth once it's been taken from me?

Since I'm not spending it to further my own goals (e.g. by charitable donation to a cause whose values I share), does it matter whether that money has been spent on something someone else values, or literally burned?

    i. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

    ii. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

    iii. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

    iv. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

    v. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

    vi. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

I'm not from the Middle East but my nuclear family is brushing up against the limit, and I have relatives whose families exceed it.

It just seems so ridiculously arbitrary for Google (on any Product Manager) to declare that, as far as their products are concerned, a family contains at most six people.

In other words: progressive taxation destroys wealth creation.

If anyone here is looking for a Drive alternative, I highly recommend the open source, P2P https://syncthing.net/. I use it to synchronise files between Linux, Android, FreeBSD devices including my home NAS.

As we keep on seeing time, and time, and time again.

And that's social networks becoming "Ministries of Truth", deciding for themselves what information is fit to be shared with the masses, and what must be suppressed.

I mean, all the evidence we've seen over the years suggests that Facebook is in no way, shape, or form trustworthy.
