Microsoft could easily buy the two largest open-source companies on the planet without denting their reserves. If Microsoft ever suspects Linux is a significant threat, they'll just buy out the largest players. Let's face it... that's how #1^H^Hmonopolies companies remain #1^H^Hmonopolies.
ill take sane customer privacy action over limiting my bandwidth to a somewhat vague and mildly unreasonable policy that wouldnt potentially land me in jail if i violated it.
seriously, if this is the case i hate comcast quite a bit less. i just sort of assumed they were doing the same thing as att and verizon and rolling over for uncle sam.
because the oversight current in place is clearly working to curb their oppression of the citizenry. make no mistake, the police do not help solve the problem. the police are part of the problem. the ones that absolutely arent are more than made up for by the ones that are, or at least tolerate the ones that are.
see the links i posted to the other responder about the kid in missouri. inconceivable.
i actually couldnt find it on youtube this time aroung, but thats where i saw it the first time. a quick youtube search for 'police harassment' brings up dozens of entries.
not only that, but it appears that the harassment has continuted even after the offending officer was fired.
the cops know no bounds.

Or perhaps the police would abuse the system. For... for what exactly?
who knows? i dont. and quite frankly im not so keen on finding out thankyouverymuch.
cops have trouble exercising the power they currently have appropriately and within the guidelines of the law. i dont think giving them additional powers over ordinary citizens is going to make them any more responsible.
maybe if our cops didnt flash their lights just so they didnt have to stop at a red light, or harassed innocent folks who are doing nothing wrong (and then threaten to kill the citizen in question when evidence emerges, see that youtube video some guy made specifically because the cops in his area were a problem), i wouldnt have such a problem with it. as it stands, the police have shown themselves to deserve less power, not more.
a) the NSA is already doing it, see the at&t equipment closet 'secret rooms'. Decent article about such
b) people voluntarily chose to allow google to do such when they signed up for gmail. dont like it? dont use gmail. there are thousands if not millions of other email services out there.
funny, i dont feel the need to talk about my non-belief until someone tries to 'educate' me on their belief system. its not exactly a catch-22 when large, well-funded groups have dedicated their resources in an attempt to un-secularize my country.
ive used adblock with firefox for a while now, and ive made sure to only hide the ads rather than not download them. that way i dont have to see them (i dont want to see them anyway), and the webmaster still gets credit for the 'view'.
there was a kid in highschool that went through a couple of color cartridges printing out his collection of pictures. which he kept in a binder. that he took to school with him. the binder was a good 4 inches thick and weighed more than 10 pounds. dude carried it with him every day.

to be fair the wifi mess wasnt apples fault, it was a 3rd party driver (netgear?).
EHHHH

no, han shoots first.
aye, thats the ticket. addicted to cigarettes => addicted to nyquil.

bungie didnt make myth 3 either, so they are already used to passing the torch on game franchises.

crappy wiring in the old place may have something to do with it. crappy cabling = leaky RF = interference.
wow i didnt know that, and here i thought i was just being a decent fellow.
also, i dont block google ads, as they are not intrusive. but since i know im not going to click on them, i might just add them to my list as well.
thanks for the info.
interesting argument.

not nearly enough privacy for all that midget on horse stuff i like.

libertarians would not complain about the closure of a government anything.
