    They should probably sunset that service then. Its going to be nothing but drama hosting joe six packs files.

    Im going to move my data to block storage u der my own cloud account on Azure. If they know what is in there they have viilated the TOS.

    Because thier motto was always "leave people alone." The left is the exact opposite. Thier concept of morality and ethics must be imposed. You have that element in the religious right as well.

    Nothing stopping anyone from creating a service like DropBox on AWS or Azure. Probably best to spin up your own service in the cloud to avoid the puritanical state.

    We are literally slipping down the slope as we read this. Hardly an assurance.

    In those 30 years our revelations often sound like the words of sages, mystics, philosophers and others who have had only thier own mind and the rest of nature as input.

    Schools are staffed with people who cannot grasp logic, math, reason, or deduction beyond a few shallow levels. The people who can do those things well are out making money.

  8. Government schools are on the ropes. People of means home school and supplement with private schools. Much better experience. No distractions or weird institutional decisions...

    Rifles are not a good idea for home defense. The bullet will go through the assailant, through the wall, across the street, through the next wall, and possibly through the next person it hits.

    Shotguns are a far better choice. The mere sight of them will turn a situation around. You can wrack the pump a few rooms away making a sound that is unmistakable and very unnerving. You can load the first rou d with bird shot so that if you do have to shoot someone they get another chance to change thier mind without being killed and if that doesnt work you can follow up with buckshot without killing your next door neighbor by accident. Get a fucking clue.

    The regulations you want have been in place for decades. Have you ever bought a gun in the US?

  11. Perhaps soon we will get back to educating our children instead of sending them to school.

    MicroSD on a tablet is no longer relevent. I would rather hook up to cloud storage than fiddle with little chips.

    Schools rarely make good technology decisions or are capable of exploiting those purchases to thier potential.

    The 12" iPad Pro is amazing and what I would consider the bare minimum at $800-900. I bought one for my son who is able to create impeccable art without any technological distractions. I am not an Apple fan...I own no other Apple products....but the newest iPad is near perfect.

    I have seen them distributed in cases and witnessed ipads survive for years. The kids were allowed to take them hime etc...

  18. Well said man. ....or woman? Nevermind...this slashdot. Yet to encounter a woman here in the last half decade.

  19. I tend to those communications outside of working hours because I want to and my employer is extremely flexible. They do not try to require us to be in the damn office all the time which leave more room for my life. If they made me come into the office from 8 to 5 everyday you can pretty much fucking forget the possibility of getting a response from me after 4:59.

    We are just talking through this. Some make conclusions, but they are their own, while others wish to contemplate ideas while considering different viewpoints. You are just an asshole.

    Given that we "move" electrons or rather shift them by transferring state of ajoining atoms could it be possible to quantum shift our body to another location? Observing the particle changes it.

    Lets remind ourselves what matter is before we trail off. Electromagnetic forces. Indeed then it would seem that conciousness is inherent to matter. Perhaps what we know already is evidence....and we know because we are concious. Next up....is thier life beyond our solar system? Look in the mirror for proof.
