If you were blindly trusting your network just because you owned the devices, you were doing it all wrong.
The moment someone else physical has access to a single computer on your network, you should treat the entire network as untrusted. Anything less is just asking to have a security breach.
There's little "pushing the boundaries" here. I've had several inboxes where different stuff is filtered to for about a decade. RSS feeds into on mailbox, bulkmail into another, notifications into another, etc.
I'm not saying that one should entirely abandon cash, stocks, etc. What I am saying is that relying on fiat currency (or anything purely based on it, like stocks) as your sole source of security is pretty damned risky. You may get lucky, or you may lose your shirt if inflation ever gets out of its cage.
Bitcoin has over and over proved to be more trustworthy than my local currency (ARS). I know bitcoin is unstable - but you should get to know our economy!
If it's an adult and there is no indication of a crime AGAINST the missing person, then the correct solution is a Private Investigator. Not the police. The police should be focusing their efforts on stopping actual crimes and responding to actual events... not highly improbable events with no evidence to back up that the event even occurred.
Well, you know, when women are kidnapped and sold as sex slaves, there's usually no indication of a crime. The only indication is that they're suddenly missing.
Also, if the issue is debt / other obligations then that's yet another case that you should use a Private Investigator to find them. The fact that someone owes YOU money doesn't mean EVERYONE ELSE should pay for the search. There's a pretty good chance that in most cases more resources will be spent to find the person that what than they even owed to start with - especially if it's the police doing the searching.
So, if someone steals from me, the police shouldn't do anything either, right? I mean, he stole from ME, why should everyone else pay for me to get my stuff back?
Actually, I was going to reply something extremely similar. Just open a bank account in Uruguay. A ferry costs ~500ARS (~100USD for those unfamiliar with local currency). Have google pay you in UY, and keep your money there. UY is like the latinamerican Switzerland, they love to keep you money, and ask little questions.
You forgot to mention the middle class. Eva Peron couldn't stand the middle class, and things haven't changed.
I'm sort-of-middleclass, and get the worst of everything. I'm excluded from government house plans, or similar, but it takes 100% of 12 years of salary for me to pay an actual flat near where I live. I don't use public transportation, either (I walk everywhere), but I end up paying a huge deal of it in taxes. I also pay a fortune in health care and another fortune in taxes every month, but I don't really get any of the benefits.
It's actually cheaper for me to move abroad and buy a flat in EU/Canada than try to achieve something here, especially due to the huge inflation rate. Sure, salaries keep up, but saving money for the future makes no sence, since it'll be less than 50% it's value in two years.
Well, you know, those two ISPs cover only a small percentaje of the planet, so it's not that big of a deal. Also, if your ISP threates to cut you off, just switch to another more serious one.
I trust yahoo. They let sevices stagnate and leave them without change for years. Google changes the UI to most of it's stuff almost yearly with almost no new funcionality, and keeps shutting down services.
I'd rather have a 5 years old GUI, and have my service shut down. (ie: reader, caldav, soon: xmpp).

The reason I don't use Yahoo's services is simply that it's impossible to remember your username. Yahoo forces you to register an email if you want a yahoo account. There's two problems with that:
1. It's impossible for create a rememberable username. You need to append three digits to any username to create one that isn't taken and... 2. I don't even want an @yahoo.com email. I already have email, thanks. Just let me use my existing one as a username.
But what do those that DO science gain from putting their discoveries behing a paywal? It's not like those journals pay scientists to publish their papers.
This is old news. This was one of the first comments on the "Google releases Hangouts" a few days ago. I've lost contact with about 40% of my contacts so far. Of those whom I can still talk to, about 20% use google with an xmpp client, and the other 40% are not google users (they use some other XMPP server).

Why do you need to filter web access through a proxy?
I've yet to see an organization with a valid excuse for this.

Google has just added pretty icons to this.

Seriously, there's no support for basic formats like plain text or openoffice formats.
However there is support for the pseudo-standard MSO formats.
If I can't open any of the files on my PC, what's the motivation to use this?

Actually, I store all my savings in bitcoins since I can't legally buy dollars.
Sure, bitcoin's future is uncertain. Buy I prefer the uncertanity of BTC, instead of the certain devaluation of ARS:

Have a look at a british series called "Black Mirror", season 1, episode 3.
Even though m/h is the de-facto standard in metric countries, m/s would be the proper metric unit.
Why is it a bad decision to think differently than you do?
I think we all have the right to privacy, not an obligation to keep all our stuff private.
I think the issue is windows software, where it's a nightmare to build anything.

I'm pretty sure lots of proyects will be moving to github/bitbucket/etc now!

The did mess with calendar. They're dropping support for CalDav.
The xbox has me fed up turning on every time I said "xbox on".
Oops, I think I just turned on half a dozen.
Because people don't want to have 2 console, 8 controllers, and a huge amount of cables next to their tv, instead of half that.
They're officialy dropping it. It was recently announced in an interview:

In an effort to coax developers to begin taking Atom seriously as an Android platform
I think that part was a joke, because TFA states it's windows only.
The [very few] windows devs I know, use MS tools like C#, etc. Are there actually any android devs that run windows out there?
