Sorry, any massive shift to another OS will just focus the attention of thousands of pirate hackers instead of Windows. I maintain the security of Linux is largely still security thru obscurity -- nobody cares to hack at it, the way they do Windows.
A few dozen guys are not thousands from poor, corrupt countries who are on a mission from god to make an illicit buck.
Salt isn't just a preservative but a way to make lesser-quality food taste better
Adding salt, sugar, etc. to foods enhances the richness of their flavor. The mixture of taste and smell makes for wonderful flavors greater than the sum of their parts, and is a major art form for humans.
Similarly, greens and blues are used by painters to make lesser-quality canvases look better.
However, you and your cronies can't sue a parabolic rock formation, nor can you stand there and promise the electorate you will beat the head of it if'n only they'd elect you.
The Netherlands has great roads -- contracted out. But they force the companies to warranty it for a long time, so it doesn't go to shit.
In any case, the US is huge. The "libertarianism is nonsense" guy is himself nonsense-squared. This tech doesn't exist but for a trillion dollars in private investment the past 15 years. Government can't buy it for you until someone develops it. Before that it was a government toy kept alive by cash for 20 years.
In this equation, government is like any other purchaser -- they just have the legal authority to make you pay for what they buy.
Interesting you should bring up music. In a sense, once it shoots out the speakers, it is manufactured, and can then enter anybody's ears. Except laws forbid that -- you can't play music for groups of customers (bars, etc.) without permission i.e. paying extra. Just buying a legal CD isn't enough.
RIPD -- Starred the awful actor who nobody liked as Green Lantern, a movie that kind of succeeded in spite of him, not because of him (and had their own other problems). Now maybe it was the awful writing for Hal Jordan (i was hoping the space smoke squid would eat him at the end) but that didn't leave me wanting more. As he's playing Deadpool upcoming I guess he gets jet another shoot. Good luck.
White House Down -- In typical Hollywood fashion, they put out two "White House under mitary assault" movies this summer (volcanoes or giant asteroids anyone?) and one, if lucky, would be original, the other a rushed copycat POS.
Pacific Rim -- While they are to be commended for technobabbling reasons they need giant robots to fight giant monsters, the combination of that and unlikely political-babble kind of gave it a silly feel discordant with the big booming bass they supplied for the action.
The only consistent thread are treating the audience like idiots to "it should work" freshman-level executive decisions.
We've already bitten the bullet for early TV show loss because nobody pointed a camera at the broadcast video to capture it, or erased early video tapes after they were finally invented because they needed to reuse those expensive things (hey, it was just a stupid little throwaway play performance, gosh! What the hell would people in the time of flying cars want with it?)
Oh please. I have no sister myself, but I imagine if this opportunity arose for the rest of you, you all would be like, "Well, if I must, I must. I'll do this to save our species."
Dr. Dean Edell used to run down the latest research on his radio show. The terrible and ongoing failure of vitamins to offer any benefit as giant study after study started coming in became almost a running joke.
"We were in the 'Vitamin C' decade, then the 'Vitamin E' decade, and now the 'Vitamin D' decade", where that vitamin was the darling." Then the 10 year study with 100,000 nurses and doctors would come in, and it would offer zero benefits, and in some cases like Vitamin C with cancer, actually make things worse.
C did nothing for colds or cancer. E did nothing for hearts. I am taking D for heart reasons the past 2 years per doctor instruction. Will it help?
Dr. Dean Edell was uniquely positioned to criticize vitamins as he came from a family who were giant vitamin manufacturers. When he started his career he was big time into all that crap and other alternative stuff.
But the science inexorably crawled forward, slaying one thing after another, and he saw the light. He was an enormous friend to science and rationality and medical skepticism.
And he loses his radio show because nobody listens. Meanwhile a quack like Dr. Oz who promotes gigatons of nonsense that dopes go glassy-eyed over and tune in, has multiples hows on radio and TV.

Just rember: Safety is a cover story. They just want your money. Follow the money.
I don't know why Thor feels so second-rate. Superman doesn't have a day of the week and an element named after him.

Oh my god. What is this nerd crap doing on a political web site?!?!? NERDS!!!
Note also they recently sent her a $20 "advance" once the *** hit the fan, which she wisely didn't cash.
Those who study human nature have fretted about this for a long, long time.
At least that's refreshing candor. Compare vs. form letters where a Congressman supports the right of abortion "but is personally opposed to it".
Apparently they rage around their house all day telling their daughters not to get abortions.
So he goofed not noticing, or he tried to scammily patent something he new was already invented?
Those are two completely separate ways to understand what happened.
Spock: He's intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two dimensional thinking.
Add the time dimension.
Spock: Perhaps his childhood lacked iodized salt.

Good catch. Yet another guy who didn't take his iodized salt. Damn.
Sure! It sorted your stuff into these categories:
400-lb. naked guys kissing
Stuff reported to the NSA
Someone's drawing of a dragon humping a car
Taylor Swift
Over 750,000 pictures in all!
Well, I knew someone on this planet actually needed gigabit Internet if we looked hard enough.
How much will people do it for fun when a giant company bundles in your new invention to de-fuzzy pictures?
People bitch on tumblr already because someone reposts a gif they made without attribution.
Factors which are little more than guesses.

Well, they do indeed call it "assembling the order".

The copyright holder dictates those terms.
I'm not sure these sucked for the same reason.

I care about the quality and originality of modern films. That's why I went to go see Pacific Rim over the weekend.
I'm tellin' ya, bring back spanking.

Adding up. And Barbara Walters, that ignorant fool, just hired her.
Once again, Barbara, this isn't a "controversial" opinion, it is a murderous one. People die because of this.
