My data on someone else's computer? Encrypted? How do I know for sure when I did not write the client. Even if it's encrypted on the wire if the client knows my password/passphrase it's not encrypted.
Who wants to see my data? I don't care! My data is mine to share or not as I choose.
If I PGP it locally then I am no longer cloud computing, just cloud storing.
If you care to. Also If you take a picture of my house, even if you upload it to your own website, you don't have the reach or the longevity of google.
I suppose Steve will be having words with you when he gets his phone bill.
Or it's a quick loan from DAD
You "Ok Dad, call me back then..." Dad "Right Son." Ring Ring Dad "It's me calling you back.." You "Thanks dad , here goes " 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 You "Thanks Dad, I'll get the $50 back to you in
a few weeks." Dad "Sure, bye..."
Yeah! you hit 5, your bill is reduced by $5.00 and the caller's bill is increased by $10.00 the other $5.00 is for the phone company. You can hit 5 about once a second until the other guy hangs up.
In most cases, particularly in the US, Google has been able to proceed on grounds that the images it takes are no different from what someone walking down a public street can see and snap.
Google Street view is completed unlike a person walking down the street, perhaps even if they have a camera.
One, I don't seem to have the entire web-viewing population of the earth marching by my home on the sidewalk. The pictures Google may take are available to anyone who cares to look.
Two, of those that do come by many of them do not have 'photographic' memories. (and don't seem to be snapping pictures of each and every house they pass).
Three, Even walking down the street looking at each house, one does not expect the person walking to remember many of the details for as long as they will be displayed on Google Maps.
The letter was *sent* to the father, disguised as a house listing. Something that he as a Realtor would open and read. It was not accidental, and it was not random spam.
I forget the exact drug or what it was for but I do remember the side effect they mentioned. How about that. The effect in question was "A brain sensation". what??
What is a "brain sensation"? Like you never had a brain before, but now you think you have one?
The Income tax is a huge lever for government control. Want more of a thing, give a tax deduction (like the deduction for kids or mortgage payments). Want less? tax it.
Great Now all the farmers that grow corn are destitute. They can no longer feed their families or keep a roof over their heads. But it's no biggie, you got your free corn.

Yes, I am going completely against the article. You can have my local, native programming when you pry it from my cold dead CPU.
My comment is in reply to the one above that asks:
And what will Johnny User do with that computer when the network is down?

1) Play any number of local games of all sorts (not just solitaire)
2) Play music and podcasts already downloaded and ripped.
3) Play a DVD
4) Upload that bunch of pictures from his camera and get them squared away with GIMP or Photoshop.
(OH wait you already had part of that)
5) Perhaps write a program of his own?
Hey, I LIKE solitaire. If a letter is needed, why not?
6) Gather freinds for a LAN party (Just because the DSL/Cablemodem is down does not mean the local home network is down too.)
Of course if that thunderstorm also knocked out power...

Yes it is a matter of scale.

It depends on if the information in the document points back to the poster.

I just got a call today that said "Car Warranty.." on the caller ID. I did not pick up.

No one yet seems to have mentioned a 42 minute meeting as the perfect time. (for any time over 0, zero minutes is more perfect)
Yes, we definitely need to perpetuate the idiocy of associating all the members of a group with its most unappealing members.
The wide brush is more often used on republicans.
Remember, that which shuts Ann Coulter also shuts Al Frankin.
No, they would have just used (R) because no Republican is (OK) with them.
Of course wouldn't the Klingon reply be "It is a good day to take yours."
My point was that the government likes their leverage, so the tax regime will never change.

Or buy a normal machine and run SIMH

on it.
Before you sudo, when the script runs sudo won't it ask for a password?
It is true "No security without physical security". If I have access to your Linux keyboard, I can reboot the machine and come up in single user mode.
Oh, and about item 4, I would not take any airplane rides any time soon, if I were you.
The truth is "out there".
