    anyways, the book was about information control. The internet has made Big Brother impossible.

    As for using using data collected about you, fight for controls. Black boxes are a good idea, for many reasons. Just fight the ability for it to be accessed randomly.

    It is when you are in an accident,.

    Don't like it? then only drive on your own property.

    "And how hard is it to get a warrant?"
    ah, now you are focused on the correct thing.

    Look, everything you do outside of your home is being collected.
    There area lot of advantages to that. The fight shouldn't be not to do it. No one will go with that because the advantages are fer too great to people.
    Fight what the police and corporations can do with it. That's the problem.

    That's a bad comparison.
    I like the ribbon, but those numbers ar ebusiness that just buy whatever the version is, and computers that come with it; regardless if anyone uses it.

    If I buy a new computer for my home, it's likely to come with a version of word. A home version, or a trail version. Those get counted as sales even though I will never use it in the home. I prefer google docs.

    If MS didn't have the ribbon, they would have 'sold' just as many.

    YO seriously underestimate the size of the universe.
