    No I saw some new ones about 2 months ago.
    7" inserts that are rifled. Much better accuracy.

    If I was to add a non semi auto weapon to my group it would be a breach break single barrel shotgun so I could get the 7" rifled inserts to shoot any type of ammo there is.

    Don't need, Don't want.
    All I need are
    Glock 17 9mm Ammo is plentiful plus a
    Browning Maxus 12 gauge and
    And of course a Colt LE6920MP-FDE

    That is all I need.

    They called and talked to him because of the extremely high usage.
    But they told him he needed to change to business or get dropped because he was running racks of servers and doing commercial grade streaming.

    No. I wont.
    Because if they call me when I start using a lot of data I am not running a server farm. So it is all good.
    If I am running servers and streaming HD video to my extended family then I would consider upgrading to a business plan anyway to get extra IPs.

    You can do what ever you want. Once you start getting some real massive usage though they are going to ask questions.

    I do not work for Verizon, I do not have a Verizon cell phone and currently my ISP at Home and work is AT&T.

    A few servers scattered around the house and in the attic is OK but once you start putting them in racks you're looking for trouble?

    No.

    You can run 30 servers if you want. If you stay within a reasonable amount of data every month they wont even question you.
    If on the other hand you start using 10, 20, or 30,000 times as much data as the average guy they will call you up and ask questions.

    When you tell them you have racks of servers, VPNs for all your friends and are running a streaming service for everyone you like then they pull out the TOS and tell you how much more that type of service will cost.

    Sounds reasonable to me.

    Well that's still somewhat BS, what's wrong with running a web or game server on such line? What about personal VPN, SSHD, ... That's all "server software". Hell, even if you start Skype conversation your PC becomes a "server".

    Nothing really. Unless you start running 10s of terrabytes a month through it. Then you have to admit your being a bit abusive of a "Residential" plan.

    I am really ok with what they did here.
    77TB in a month gives me geek giggles.
    But, if he wants to run racks of servers and video streaming VPNs for everyone he knows then we can ask that he get a business plan.

    Bend over for what?

    Google has a bit more fully combined, but they do not sell it off. They keep it very private.
    So far they give you ...
    The most benefit from your data.
    The best control over your data.
    The best care over your data.
    The most evil thing they do is ad targeting.
    First. They do not sell the raw data to their advertisers. They only do targeted ads.
    You can like them or dislike them. Some people feel a bit creeped out by it. Some are prefer targeted ads over non targeted.

    As far as I know that information is kept by Google. They have never sold any of. They use it to target the ads you buy better.
    They use it to create new products and improve existing ones. They also use that data to kill of some of the stuff they did that I liked. :(
    Those disparate databases you feel so safe with are not so hard to combine. In fact people have brought loads of it together to individually identify people accross many websites building very accurate and scary profiles on people. This data has been and will continue to be SOLD.
    So...That cat is out of the bag.

    Unless you are a full fledged internet master and work hard at staying anonymous and have been doing so for years, internet privacy is not a choice you have.
    You need to use many different VPNs ,change your habits often and stay on a disinformation campaign or you simply do not have privacy when it comes to the internet. Period.

    Sure. Microsoft does not use the information they have from windows, bing, office, live, xbox to target ads or to sell.

    At least with Microsoft I know they will value my privacy. I pay for their product and that's it. But Google's business model is around the monetarizion of its users.

    You can be wary of Google if you want. But that line right there makes you either retarded or a shill.
