You aren't counting the product placements in the show. And you should time it. Last night, I was watching a show, 30 seconds of show, 3 Minutes of ads, 3 minutes of show with product placement, 3 minutes of ads, 3 Minutes of show, 2 Minutes of ads, product placement and 3minutes of show. Not to mention the minute long Title sequence and minute long ending sequence and filler. The actual show, perhaps 7-10 minutes... maybe.
The assumption (often wrong) is that if you looked for something, you're still looking. There is almost no thought that you have already found what you've looked for.
Man is incapable of ruling himself, what makes you think he can rule over others?
Distributed Not Centralized power structure ensures minimal abuse, that is localized, rather than the corrupt versions of all centralized political structures. Power Corrupt, and absolute power tend to corrupt absolutely.
The way I look at it, if you cannot afford or buy updated software to replace the "mission critical" software running on outdated systems, you're not evaluating the situation correctly. You cannot afford not to, you just have chosen different priorities or your "mission" isn't that "critical"
IT systems are not a "buy once, keep forever" like older mechanical systems of the past. That Laser Engraver may work nearly forever, but the Computer that controls it won't.Places without upgrade policy/plans get stuck, only because bean counters don't understand the cost of a compromised systems.
The greatest wealth creator is Liberty. It frees men to pursue the talents and skills they have unrestricted by tyrant's rules. Human Capital is the greatest wealth creator, and economic wealth is just a reflection of that. If you want to free the economic capital from the wealthy, free the human capital from the rules and regulations and taxes the stifle human capital. The wealthy cannot contain human capital of others in a free and open economic system.
Capitalism is an economic system, not political. Power is a function of Politics, not economics.
The problem is, and everyone is believing that these HAVE To be linked. And tangentially they typically are, but they do NOT have to be. Think of it this way, FREEDOM/LIBERTY is a system that seeks maximum ability to live life as you see fit, not encumbered by rules and regulations that only serve to enslave us, economically and politically.
Now, there are those that say we need MORE rules and MORE regulations (tyrants) and who never seek to repeal bad rules and regulations. Eventually, you have a system where the rich can buy rules and regulations (for good or for bad) and the average person has no voice. Soon, the Rich conspire with the POWERFUL to enslave the rest of mankind. We live in that system now, and YET there are slaves that actively support this system because it seems safe (as long as they say "Yes Master")
We already live in the state where you confuse liberty with "messy scary outcomes"
Have you seen what is passing for a college degree in the US these days? We used to make jokes about "underwater basket weaving" but compared to some of the new degrees, UWBW looks like it actually is comparatively worthwhile. The precious snowflakes who are scared of chalk marks are studying to be unemployable in the real world.
Power and wealth aren't related, except perhaps tangentially. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Centralized government is corruption. The ONLY fix is to restrict centralized governance, and make it more local. It is more difficult to fund power if you have to curry favors over a broad group of people, rather than a few "Powerful elites" in a far away city.
This is one tenant of Libertarianism in a nutshell.
Coin Washing service would quickly dissolve any link to you. Which is exactly what I would do. Once the Coins are disassociated with any person, they are useless.
Smart Thermostats only learn if you're predictable, you still have to figure out how to override them when they don't figure you out correctly, which can be quite annoying. "Hey, I'm not home you stupid thermostat, don't turn on the air/heat automatically" to "Hey, I stayed home today, I still have to turn the air/heat one manually"...J
Just now, I can do it remotely, just like the hackers!
My android gets its security updates every month. Nexus 6P updated just a couple days ago, with the Aug update. I expect another one in Sept, probably one that fixes this one. Let me know when Apple ships timely monthly updates.
IMO if you aren't actively exploiting the patents you have, you have no right to sue someone who is.
That isn't the problem here. The problem is that after years and years of selling products (Avaya), along comes patent troll who discovers it. The problem is that it is too late. You can't come in long after the fact, when you should have been protecting your patents from the beginning. If you don't know they are infringing, then it isn't really impacting your business, and you haven't been harmed.
News outlets take all that stuff and condense it down into summaries that are small enough to be absorbed without a great deal of time and effort
By Summary you mean filtered through the lens of the biased reporters deciding what is worthy to report on. Hillary barking like a dog, if that was Trump it would have made NYT front page, but not Hillary. Or Weird facial ticks ? or NOT having a press conference in over 240 days. Or actually investigating the Clinton Crime Family Foundation and quid pro quo State Department special treatment of foreign governments...
If everyone who thinks Hillary is the answer to Trump actually opened their mind and saw that Hillary and Trump are basically the same lunatic, we'd be much better off. However, Hillary conspired to rig an election, with the MSM in her pocket and you're simply ignoring that because "Trump is worse". I reject the idea that "Trump is worse" the same way I reject the idea spewed by right wingers that "Hillary is worse". It is basically saying "dying of a heart attack is worse than dying of cancer", no, both suck equally.
Here is a thought, perhaps there is someone sane that is ALSO running that isn't Trump or Hillary. Gary Johnson is the sane choice this election.
The ISP (Comcast) gets a direct line to their customer (ME) via a switch interface. No regulation is really needed. If Comcast sucks, I ask to be hooked into ATT, Verizon, HBO, Netflix or GeeksRUS Internet (10GB speeds for only 29.99/mo).
Free Enterprise meaning the MARKET between me and a vendor of my choosing is not artificially limited by Government deciding what is in my best interest (franchise agreements)
And the opposite Strawman is also exactly correct as yours. The problem with Goldman Sachs and the banks is PRECICELY because of government regulations allowed and even exasperated the problem. The banks were required to make bad loans to people because of Frank Dodd, and they had to come up with creative ways to avoid exposure to these bad loans (all under the social policy of helping poor colored people get into houses they couldn't afford, after all that isn't fair)
If you're gonna use bad examples of Crony Capitalism then why don't you also support letting those banks fail (as they should have) for doing stupid shit. Now, they know they can do it over and over again, and the taxpayers will pick up the tab. And this is good how?
The problem is, that Government has the same exact problems Capitalism, except now we don't get the option of bad ideas failing, we just keep trying to fix them. Next up, Obamacare (ACA), which is about to FAIL miserably, but people like you (who insisted it would work) will now be placed in charge of fixing what many of us said wasn't feasible in the long run. And now doubt, you'll just say "We need to make a few tweaks (like Universal Healthcare) to make it work right", instead of realizing it should just die (like Grandma!!! )

That didn't take long. Toshiba announced a 100TB drive (different type) SSD today.

The end of spindle drives is nigh
Cable companies spent *decades* building out coax networks
And there is the problem. Last mile monopoly breaks everything. Move the problem away from Last Mile, and everything starts to work as it should.

Thank you for confirming you love tyranny, and live to enslave yourself.
See, I can make stupid platitudes that are meaningless too! You think that greater centralization, rules and regulations frees you from tyranny?

Under capitalism, the wealthy become powerful.

Actually, they don't need cookies anymore. Your Browser is unique enough that they can track that without needing cookies.

What regulations would be required?
The ISP (Comcast) gets a direct line to their customer (ME) via a switch interface. No regulation is really needed. If Comcast sucks, I ask to be hooked into ATT, Verizon, HBO, Netflix or GeeksRUS Internet (10GB speeds for only 29.99/mo).
