If this was implemented we'd quickly discover that our information is currently overvalued. The info they collect is not worth what it is being traded for these days. This would fall apart in short order once everyone realized they're worth a whopping 2 cents per day.
All of the Home Depots in my area have the actual and nominal dimensions of the lumber on a huge orange sign above the saw. Not sure how that is possibly false advertising when it is displayed so prominently.

Sure enough, I found MicTray running on one of our 640 models.
I'm curious as to where you'd draw the line? You seem to be saying that the time and money savings are a worthy trade-off for your dignity.
I'm not rich and I won't fly. I'll spend the extra money and time to drive because what the TSA is doing is wrong (and a joke).
You said that the above poster is "looking down" on you for flying, but I had the same question: Why would you submit to the degradation and bullshit?
So I appreciate them asking the question because I had it too. And I appreciate hearing your answer.
No citation for the "FBI statistics" because it is a completely bogus claim. If I am wrong, please link to the FBI statistics directly in order that I should become educated.
*spoiler alert* No link will be posted.
However, you will find plenty of fake news article links that have twisted the stats to support their agenda.
Your ignorance can only be matched by your arrogance. Assuming that this is ignorance and not an intentional twisting of the truth, I'll try to help you understand:
The passage in Deuteronomy that you reference is part of what's know as the "old covenant." https://www.gotquestions.org/o...
I see what you're trying to do there with the Matthew reference, and I think you know that you're misleading others. If you really don't know, you can educate yourself here: https://www.gci.org/bible/matt... First thing that pops up in a search - not hard to find.
^ So much this. The only way to be 100% sure that nothing leaks out is to remove the Wi-Fi module. Plug in an Alfa USB wireless adapter when you want it to communicate.
And the American public who votes them in has never been an informed electorate.
Not entirely true. For the first 100-some years of America's existence voting participation was nearly 100%. It is only in the last 100 years that this changed.
We used to be an informed electorate. I agree that we aren't now.
I don't use AV, but the average person still needs it. The average person either doesn't know or doesn't care what they are clicking on.
As part of a layered defense strategy for the average user, it is still needed. Personally, I don't like AV stealing my CPU cycles. I use other methods, common sense chief amongst them, to prevent infection.
I am not a coder although I know enough to throw something together. At my previous job I was working on a simple interface for looking up part numbers and viewing the corresponding CAD drawing. I had the logic figured out based on what they told me they wanted. Meanwhile, I got another job and I put in my two weeks notice. As I had them demo the new software, we discovered a few edge cases that weren't accounted for. Not having time to figure out the "best way" to accomplish this programmatically, I threw in a few nested IFs. Another day of testing, more edge cases, more IFs. By the end of the week I had 20-some nested IF statements and the code was slowing down. I was out of time, so that's how I had to leave it. The last time that I compiled the code I left a remark for the next poor IT soul who found that pile of slop. I apologized and said that if it ended up on TheDailWTF I would understand.
Not life and death dependent software, but I didn't like leaving my name on something I wasn't proud of.
"He was first sentenced to 100 hours of community service, which he refused..." How does that work?
Judge: I sentence you to community service.
Defendant: No thanks.
Judge: Is a suspended sentence OK?
Defendant: Meh,.. I guess.
I was hoping that you were aiming for Funny with these comments. I am fearful that you actually believe it.

Bernie Quotes:
“I don’t think you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street. I don’t think you are qualified if you voted for the disastrous war in Iraq. I don’t think she is qualified,” Sanders said in April.
During the primary, Sanders described Clinton’s policy positions and rhetoric variously as “nonsense,” “horrific,” “unfair,” “nasty,” “disastrous,” and “obscene.”
“Secretary Clinton owes us an apology,” Sanders told a Wisconsin crowd in April.

So now he's going to endorse someone who he knows is an unqualified liar? What does that say about Bernie?
It says that he's the same as every other politician and you fell for it. Vote for our liar because they're better than the other liar.
Because leaving a gaping hole with a giant question mark in my wake was the only bit of power I had left to send a message for all of the misrepresentation, incompetence, unreasonable expectations and malice of the team that I had experienced .
If a company is as poorly run as you portray it (and I believe you), they are not going to "get it." The message will fall on deaf ears.

It also follows that a government that can't provide decent healthcare for our vets isn't going to give a shit about you and yours.

This was solved a long time ago with Noscript. Pages load fast and don't jump, not to mention the security benefits.

the unofficial motto of the Republican Party is "I've got mine, screw you"
Opposite of the Democrat motto, "Screw Everybody. Equally."

...but most of them got there by inheriting money.
False. Approximately 80% of millionaires in the USA are 1st generation. That does not qualify as "most."
This is why you're better off selling the vulnerabilities to hackers. Doubly true when dealing with sleaze bags like PWC.
This guy bought out a movie theater to scalp the tickets but nobody wanted them: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new... I don't feel bad for him.

I think there's a misspelling. It should say, "...were also very popular, bwwwwppppt!"

I glanced at the story, saw "Erdogan" and "Gulen," and thought there was a new Lord of the Ring movie on the way.
If it included Contra I'd be in. I just bought an NES at a garage sale. I can't find a copy of Contra for less than $50.
