Sure they do, they may not like the idea of the consequences they will have to face in order not to be a slave, but they can choose. For example, a slave in the truest sense could choose not to be a slave by not doing what their told or running away, but they may get hurt or killed for their transgression. Civil disobedience has effectively demonstrated that doing nothing when told to x, y or z results in all three not happening, with consequences that the disobedient must then be at least aware are coming.
They renamed the Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities agency to just Department of Developmental Disabilities to be more PC. Afterwards I asked if they had Carlos Mencia rename the place because the acronym for it now is DDD, or if you ever watched his show - Du Da Duh.
Especially considering that the thing is underwater, hence by nature not flying as in 'Unidentified FLYING Object', unless they have reworked the acronym and it now means: Underwater Falcon-like Object.
Are the same demographic, so the NYT can rudely bend them over a table, and they will come back for more while apologizing for all the mean things they said.
To these groups for getting them thinking about these matters before China starts bringing their full might to bear and busting down cyber doors all over the place.
I agree, hence my original thought that we could learn a lot from Usenet, especially as you point out, how much it is not suited to the task at hand. Or if we can't apply Usenet methods to the cloud service, there is at least a bar that has been set, that the cloud has not reached yet, at least in function, though not ease of use.
The only point of yours I take issue with at this point is the payment factor. The web based cloud services that are worth anything are pay per use as well, correct?
And the label 'strange' has never stopped innovation:D
And yet many people find it faster by far and more reliable than any web based file storage solution. A few parity files ensures data integrity, even if the parity files jacked, they can still reconstruct data to its original state. Web services MAY provide someone with a checksum of some kind, but that only tells you what you just spent forever acquiring is no good, it doesn't rebuild it. And as for speed, I have NEVER had my connection continuously maxed out by available bandwidth from any web service, IRC, torrent, p2p, ftp, or gopher...etc, Usenet on the other hand, full bore, full speed, full utilization 24/7 on a 20Mbit(2MB)/sec connection.
It has been a cloud type service that has been around for how long? Granted it's not private, but all you have to do is encrypt your files. And as for privacy, considering the things that people continuously post there, and don't get caught, speaks to the possibilities. Yeah I suppose, data retention has only in the last few years gotten good enough to make a difference. But there have got to be some things we could learn about making the cloud work better from it.
Was it the answer we expected after 12 years of waiting, yes, if it had come out two years ago. But the industry is hampered by the consoles in how great they can make a game look, and the consoles can't compute anything beyond what PCs could two years ago, hence the graphically outdated, but very classically fun, first person shooter that they gave us.
OK, I admit that the Apple shot was just because it's Apple, and they are just like the description in the article, and I didn't stop to think about the fact that Apple has nothing to do with Flash, I despise them both equally, so the quip probably came out of the same section of my brain that stores all things of computing world that I piss on in my dreams.
Was that comment in agreement with what I said? I didn't understand your phraseology there and am unsure of your intent.
To be clear, I am a PC person through and through, Microsoft for pleasure and *nix for work. I was lambasting the Apple method.

Associate is synonymous with friend on Facebook, otherwise you would see all 627 'friends' IRL on a regular basis.
How many of those posting actually have kids of their own...who play outside as well? FYI I have three children ages 4, 2, and 1.

As if using usenet to distribute warez wasn't inappropriate enough. Hey lets all start using it as a dropbox for all sort of random shit!
Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but usenet is for discussions.
Not since Eternal September began.

.And nothing of value was lost.
That sucks, I tried to apologize for not thinking that remark through, and it got modded down to -1 Flamebait.

Did Apple make the book for them?

Yeah, go ahead and form your "union". You will quickly find out just how replaceable you are.
Yes, but we all know how much a pain getting a replacement for an Apple product is: apple battery support
