If governmental institutions have the ability to retain the data indefinitely, and you have no way of knowing whether or not you're one of the ones being actively watched, is there a significant difference?
I...I genuinely don't know where you got that notion from.
That aside, I'd much rather pay $2.00 to sit down and watch a cheesy movie with some friends I'll never watch again than $15.99 for a DVD that takes up space, but I seldom ever watch something twice. Music is a different story altogether.
That makes sense. That's how it works for me for movies and shows. I don't really even have any DVDs because of services like Netflix and Amazon. The issue for me is that I already have the infrastructure in place for music. I have my backed up mp3 collection, organized better than they'd probably let me on their service.
I've looked into other cloud services too. I have a google music account with my music uploaded there, but it's generally inferior to the local player. Somewhere in the last 5 years or so, we decided that features like virtualizers weren't necessary. That's usually a dealbreaker for me.
Apologies if I come out ranty. Pulled an all nighter for work so I'm not entirely lucid.
I have three "credit cards". I have a bank debit card, a paypal debit card, and then a credit card that's an actual credit card.
Technically if you count the cheesy ass HSA debit card that my employer considers "health insurance", then I've got four. Only one of them is a "real" credit card (as in, buying things on money I don't have).
Both guilty of Treason, failure to protect the constitution and deserve 10 lifetimes in jail. I have no doubt his actions will cost millions of human lives over the next 50 years.
A strange world is one where we're prosecuting people for crimes they've not yet committed...
The irreconcilable difference between those who promise they will create that which they can, and those who promise what will be created that which cannot actually exist.
The original founder of the company that got bought out by the one I work for currently still comes in to what was his old home office years later (though he doesn't work there) to work on his own persuits. Guy refuses a assigned parking spot, didn't want an office. Just sits at a desk right in the middle of the floor, like anything else.
That's amazing. McAfee might be a dangerous unstable lunatic who's a menace to society, but he's MY kind of dangerous unstable lunatic who's a menace to society.

You and your 5 other counterparts are going to get lonely without us though. We worry for you.
And fuck beta.
Also, fuck beta. If they wanted to genuinely improve the site, they'd require us to rlogin to submit comments.
An 8 bit ALU, and all you need is a modern computer running 64 bit java with a gigabyte or larger in heap to use it.
I would follow. We could even submit the story of the ressurection on places like Slashdot (Is slashdot still around?) so that we can spread the word!
Damn, that's bleak.

But what can they bring to the table that old winamp and mp3s can't do better?

Naturally it had to be. "The decline of nuance" wouldn't be nearly as polarizing. :P
Fuck the Eagles.
Joe Walsh was pretty cool though.

More likely I expect to see more and more people driving older cars.
I saw my mom for the first time in years just a couple weeks ago. If that's the best you can do, well, I'm really sorry for you.
I suppose the lack of teeth might be considered an asset, for some.
We make the world such an ugly place. Makes sense it would spread to places where there's an absence.
I never said it was MY narrative.
I'm afraid that doesn't fit the narrative.
Believe it or not, those flyover states have more intelligent technical people in them than you have in your company.

Please. That poll's just there to push an agenda. Not like GP's totally rock solid anecdote!
That's a terrible Yosemite Sam impression.
It's a much better Foghorn Leghorn though.
