Your fingerprint is the best password you will actually use. I do residential IT services in an area heavy with retired people, and the biggest problem I face is forgotten passwords. It's not supposed to be good advice, but I tell all of them to write every password down in at least two non-obvious places, because otherwise they will be forgotten. I keep running into users who have no machine password, or "12345" because "I wouldn't remember it!"
Better you think of a good password, and write it down.
Actually, it's a reason to periodically use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable exact copy of your HD to an external drive which you mount only for the occasion, rather than leaving it running all the time. It's also a reason to use a VERSIONING online backup service that amounts to a "cloud Time Machine."
A walled garden prevents you from trying out so many of those flaky little items of godknowswhatware that you can download into Windows. It also prevents you from getting all those fascinating viruses.
Yes, it was considered to be amazing news when the Secretary said that yes, if you feel your life to be in real danger, it's okay to resist an attacker so long as sone overzealous prosecutor doesn't feel you violated his treasured Marquis of Queensbury rules of engagement.
"They love all this CSI Cyber shit because paedophiles are the biggest boogeymen after terrorists."
Police could kill off most of the pedophile problem by going after cultural environments that promote such practices, but that would be politically incorrect. So they want the legal system warped so they can spy on every individual's computer, in hopes of catching individual offenders. So long, Magna Carta.
"Next you'll be happy when they ban large chef's knives."
The UK already has knife control. In fact, it is technically illegal to carry around any object, such as a flashlight or a cricket bat, that could be used as a weapon depending on the situation at a given time.
In a country where self defense is illegal in most circumstances, the legal theory is that any response to attacks on people, whether by criminals or terrorists, has to be a police matter. The price of such a philosophy is you have to keep granting the police more and more power. And then you find that's never enough.
We would rather buy our imported oil from countries that hate us. And where else are they going to get the revenue for international terrorist operations?
So I'm assuming that now global warming will be official policy in Canada, and all those scientists who used to be on the muzzle blacklist will be the new talk show heroes. There won't be a Keystone pipeline because the country will move from oil development to wind power.
But will Canada still have those speech control boards that prevent people from criticizing members of certain religions even if they do things like shooting up Ottawa?
"Any digital camera on a tripod can do the same thing."
Both of the smartphone OSes have apps for that, and they perform just as well as a digital camera on a tripod, and rival a good flatbed. Back in the nineteen hundreds, if I wanted to save an article I was reading at the library, I had to check out the volume and bring it home, or bring it to the reserve librarian, who would make a not-very-good paper copy for me at a buck a page - assuming that some horrible copyright objection wasn't raised.
Now, wherever I might be, I just whip out my iPhone and run JotNot, which snaps a picture of each page and saves it as a PDF, just like a flatbed scanner. I love living in the future!
It's a bad idea because there are always a few idiots who deliberately transfer vast amounts of unneeded data just to test the boundaries of the management. Having a realistically high cap enables a much larger number of users to enjoy up-to-date technologies like high definition video and immersive VR
This is what happens when you allow sociopaths to run corporations. Sociopaths should, upon discovery, be forceably removed from society at gunpoint and sent to an island together where they can fuck each other, eat each other, or whatever it is these vile neurologically inhuman monsters do to each other. No sociopath should ever have control of even a single normal, empathic human being in even the tiniest way.,
OR...we could simply legalize competition in the medical field, so that it could operate more like the electronics business.
Unlimited usageis a bad idea, but 300G prevents people from using quite a few of the online services that today are considered routine. I know because that's the limit on my 80MHz cable. Every news story today starts with an autoplaying video that I have to wait for and pause, and the number of streaming movies it takes to hit the cap is a lot fewer than advertised.

Now go deliver me a pizza.

It would certainly detect the presence of old people carrying cardiac pills.

Based on your username, you won't sign even a screen name to your trollish opinion.
Yahoo News will carry a Polaroid shot of it.
So far, Britain has been steadfast under threats by Big Knife, though fork control has been less successful.

So in the absence of tidal flexing in Pluto's vicinity, where's the heat coming from?

No, that's a baseless conspiracy theory. He just behaves that way.

Whether someone else should pay for a procedure like this is a totally different question.

Offtopic member of the bridgetending fraternity that he may be, he does raise a valid question.
In the places where people can afford a procedure like this, there is no overpopulation problem. Every couple deserves a fair shot at parenthood.

Given today's politics, if software development were run by societies, we would immediately accuse them of shilling for corporations.
