Bad analogy. I don't "get off" on Google or Amazon having some data. It's a compromise some people are perfectly willing to make, whether fully informed or not, in exchange for a little bit of convenience in their lives. That doesn't make them morons, and it also doesn't mean they should have to put up with third parties taking advantage of their device for their own schemes.
If I open my window to let some fresh air in, I know a fly might get in, or might start to rain. That's the compromise. But if someone flings a bag of shit through my window, they've been a dick and I should not be expected to put up with it just because I wanted some fresh air.
"Reponsible for" in what way? I think it's pretty reasonable to expect them not to specifically exploit their presence.
If you choose to open a window to let some fresh air in one day, and someone hops up and takes a dump through it, are you going to blame yourself or the guy taking a dump?
People who put these devices in their homes are like people who paint "Kick Me" in large neon letters on the backs of all clothing they own, then are astounded when someone takes them up on the offer.
Well, fuck you. It's my choice if I want one of these devices. I know what they do and I know how they work.
All these worlds are yours except Europa. And Mimas between 5 and 6 on Wednesday afternoons. You can have Triton on alternate Sundays, but hands off Margaret.
Only this isn't about really old Windows, it's about not-so-old Windows which is still going to get updates if you have a different processor - and for seemingly no good reason other than to annoy people into getting Windows 10.

Oh you did, did you, Slashdot? Or did you just blindly accept a copy-pasted headline without giving it much editorial thought?
Income inequality in the United States is growing, but the most common economic statistics hide a significant portion of Americans' financial instability by drawing on annual aggregates of income and spending. An article on the Harvard Business Review adds:
And what do you mean "adds"? The opening sentence is straight out of the article as well! You did nothing!
and gave me the option of cancelling the order or waiting until they got more in stock
They may have known they weren't getting any more, but wanted to try to get you to cancel the order instead of having to do it themselves, since then it doesn't have a negative impact on their account status.
I've seen it a few times - sellers asking customers to cancel the orders that the seller can't fulfil.
Don't know how modded you troll. Sound is going to be an incredibly important factor in getting something like this off the ground, as it were. As I understand it, jets have been getting significantly quieter over recent years, and this has allowed air travel and airports to expand where previously it wouldn't have been allowed.

I don't even know what you're trying to say.

Fast RMX is a nice racer at a low price.
Or maybe "people" aren't you and are allowed to have their own opinion.
I said "being a dick," not "hacking."
Who's been the dick here? Burger King. Pretty simple.
It's probably not added blurriness, but original blurriness that is now out of context.
Gah, you've said Drupal so many times it's like its not even a word any more!

More Americans Now Work Full-Time From Home Than Walk and Bike To Office Jobs
How is that significant?
At some point in history there were more computers than waffle irons but I don't remember anyone making a news story out of it...
New Processors Are Now Blocked From Receiving Updates On Old Windows
Shouldn't that be:
Old Windows is now blocked from receiving updates [when running] on new processors
