Given your anecdotes, what do they have to do with the statement you're quoting? It really seems out of context.

Phobia? Hardly. You don't call an ftp client and ssh client do you? Likewise you would and should never call a man a woman, unless you're tying to insult him and vice versa. It's called logic and not some ridiculous concept of accepting a mental disorder as something to be celebrated.

If you want to talk about problems, let's talk about plugins themselves. They're horrible and should never have been created. Hell, even they were a response to horrible websites which browsers had to deal with. Anything short of proper browser development would of course necessitate having plugins for your browser.

If someone is actively trying to be a mitm and injecting things into your connection - you have far far worse problems than corrupted software.

I for one think it's great you're doing updates quickly and often as things come up that warrant pushing updates in the first place. Keep up the good work. This looks like a nifty little tool!

They won't. People have been saying it's the "year of the linux on the desktop" for everything big that comes along. All this will do is give more of those so-called and self proclaimed hardcore gamers incentive to switch, especially if nothing else is holding them back.

Yeah I used to live in NYC and if you don't know the subways by heart, you really don't live there or haven't for very long. Not to detract from the fact the app isn't ready yet, but you don't need an app to get where you're going if you can read a placard that's literally at every subway. Anyone with any visual sense and literacy can figure it out.
