I have no worries about the NSA. I have worries about companies that collect who my friends are. I'm not so egotistical to think the NSA cares about that, but I knoew Facebook does.
Can any of these transfer files of any size as well as message? Using Facebook is just plain idiotic for private conversations, at least Microsoft is old world tech before business plans relied on scraping every bit of information off of everyone.
Skype seems to still be the one that works on everyone's machine, can be used for file transfers, and doesn't make you feel as if there are eyes on you. I'm not a big fan of all the fluff they have added, but it is what it is. I can ignore it.
I know people don't generally care about animals, because people generally consider themselves more important; but I can see that the 'automation' craze is going to be the worse thing for wildlife and pets ever. What is the motivation for an automated car company to spend time tuning their vehicles to avoid animals? It will be loads more difficult than the main objective of avoiding humans, and I am just not confident anything that isn't big enough to harm the vehicle will be noticed at all.
Unionization is only unnecessary if a free and empowered workforce that is allowed to congregate and talk among themselves regarding workplace issues DO NOT WANT TO FORM A UNION. What other metric could you possibly go by?
What you are suggesting is that the company is in a position to "protect the employees from a bad union". This is completely laughable. It is, beyond a doubt, for the employees to decide for themselves. The company is the WORST entity to make this decision, because they are the only ones who benefit from a union not forming. Talk about conflict of interest.
You can have your own opinions about whether unions are ultimately good or bad, but it should be illegal for a company to influence employees in that regard. Companies only want to keep their employees divided because they are weaker that way and that's just oppressive.
It's interesting to me that this answer seems to come from someone every time someone else advises not to give Facebook your information. The message always seems to be "well they probably already have it anyway". Maybe they DON'T have it. If I give it to them, then i know they have it. If I don't give it to them there is still a chance they don't.
Myst immersed me in its world. There was nothing jumping out at you or time limits on anything, but you wanted to solve the problems for the graphics and the story. Last one I played like that was Syberia II that came out in 2004; although now I have just noticed there is a Syberia 3 that came out in 2017. There doesn't seem to be a lot of games like that since first pirson shooters became popular.
America is so far down the toilet, you don't even know which way is up any more. You aren't aware that the unemployment numbers are being played, job prospects suck out there are and getting worse. Good luck explaining how Uber is going to make your society better and enjoy your cheap rides to serfdom.

Also, the current upswing in the economy started in 2012. Look at a GDP per capita chart.
The first person I don't trust is Google. The second person I don't trust is anyone affiliated with Google.
MJ is legal nation-wide in 15 days.
I'm surprised Google and Bing would allow that. Pretty easy to start your own search engine if you can just scrape results from the others.
This is what I was thinking.... I wasn't aware there was another search engine on the planet that could realistically be used as a default.
We have a chipmunk in our yard and despite the fact the neighbor's cat wanders around freely, it holds it's own.

Yeah but I'm not prepared to explain ICQ to everyone I need to communicate with.

I was being sarcastic, not making a statement. I can see how that could be misconstrued.
centralized and institutionalized power is inherently bad
That's what a corporation is!

Really? Threatening people is a first amendment right. Americans..

No it was a stupid comment.
Let's see you solve it in 5 minutes without knowing the answers to the puzzles.
Come to think of it, no, Police Quest was on my IBM XT with CGA graphics.
Lesure Suit Larry/Police Quest/Kings Quest came way before Myst. I think I had Police Quest for my Apple ][+. I liked those too though.

The job market today is weaker than it was five years ago. There are less people making an actual living page.
I might be getting old, but I find googling on four words from a lyric followed by the word 'lyric' produces the same results.
