On Tuesday afternoon, GMT-6, I could do exactly zero of my job functions, as none of my remote server connections would stay up for longer than 5-7 seconds. Not knowing what was happening, I did hours of troubleshooting on my own connection, before finally just calling it quits for the day.
I was about ready to just walk away out of frustration before things just seemed to magically fix themselves the following morning. So yes, I think this did affect parts of the internet as a whole, and not others. I am not surprised by this.
The fraud was reported the day after and STILL it took over TWO MONTHS to give my money back
That sounds like a debit card, and not a credit card. Don't send money to the credit card company for fraudulent transactions. They are liable, not you, other than a few hundred bucks, which most CC companies waive for customers.
Apple isn't a private company. It is subject to its shareholders. Though I suppose it is private in the "private vs. government" sense...
They have always gone the route of killing off anything that I, personally, might find useful to purchase. Looks like they are keeping the streak alive.
I am a huge fan of online automatic backups.
Things like Backblaze, Crashplan, etc are neat.
If, in many years, technology is changing to make your file types obsolete, you will have everything available to convert during that time. If your backup company of choice goes out of business, then choose a new one. As long as you keep something current, you will be set.
I bought backblaze for all of my family members for Christmas last year. It sure does feel good to not have to worry about grabbing my PC if my house is on fire....just my wife.
So I have read through a lot of the decision, and I have come out of it with some video game "recommendations" from the Supreme Court:
Not Safe For Work, most likely:

You are missing the point. For many poor people, a cellphone is the only access point they have for the Internet outside of public computers in public buildings, with often-restrictive operating hours. (Libraries, etc.)
Not everyone can afford to have home computers and internet connections. Get a little perspective.
I did a quick search on this thread, and did not see a single "loose" post. On a subject like this one, where people are often talking about losing weight, I expected to see many mistakes.
Everyone that has posted here has made my day. Thank you all!
Every time there is a new Diablo 3 announcement, I scan through to see if they mention the item dropping/picking up system.
Racing strangers to click the item the fastest was probably the worst thing about Diablo 2, and brought in lots of 3rd-party programs/cheats.
Looking back over the last few years:
If I count up the s/w that I've had while single versus the s/w that I've had while in a monogamous relationship... well, the number is way higher for the latter.
Being slutty != more sex. It just means more sex partners.
Also, iPhone users lie.

I believe that we have made the point enough times that copyright infringement does not equal theft. Please try to remember.

Concerning this new patent request, I'll see you in court! It's on like Donkey Kong®!!!
