    Yeah, best method is a craigslist laptop running a vm that you destroy. If your paranoid, ditch the laptop afterwards, you can probably sell it again if your careful.
    USB tails on a used laptop is pretty hard to trace as well.

    responding to Pax681. I agree that service men and women earn their pension. I grew up as an Army Brat, the lifestyle takes a toll.

    I think the problem is the children's programming these people have been exposed to. Have you seen how long they take to make a decision on Dora or Little Einsteins? Real life doesn't wait for, leave the slow kids behind and get stuff done.
    Caveat, I probably watch to many cartoons, and I'm impatient.

    Were you silent when they came for private sector Pensions?
    Did you speak up when they came for Union pensions?
    Where you concerned when they attacked teachers pensions?
    Did you raise the alarm when they undermined public sector pensions?


    Make no mistake, they'll get to you soon.

    I wonder if this allows you to break contracts, although I'm not sure how that would apply since I'm not under contract anymore, but I have to pay off the phone "loan" to break out of the Verizon universe.

    I've been told their no-commercial option doesn't include all shows, so you'll still get some with commercials in front.
    Frankly, I still pay for cable, so I don't really have a problem with the cost or commercials in general. I'd rather DVR the show and skip the commercials vs watching it with a short uskippible commercial. I do vastly prefer the HBO and Netflix method of streaming with no commercials, so I support those services.
    I wonder if Disney will haul ABC off of Hulu when their platform goes live.

    I always avoided working for the local spam company, exact target. I kind of regretted that after they were acquired by Salesforce, but I guess I dodged a bullet. This is going to make many people think twice.

  16. Maybe, but enough people saw the value in converting. I'm doubtful this will happen anytime soon for 4k.

    You have that backwards, SS was always designed to be paid from funds coming in, no funds will ever accrue to a pot of SS money.
    This is to avoid the pension raiding that destroyed the private pension system.

    I like what HBO is doing, you get their entire back catalog along with what they are currently airing. They make good stuff that people want to watch and don't penalize you if you want to subscribe for a month and binge watch.
    I'd be surprised if this is what Disney does. I subscribe to netflix and HBO, but I torrent all that Hulu crap because they insist on commercials.
    F#)@ that noise.

    They are not too costly, that's a convenient fiction. They are too tempting for people to keep their hands off, which is why there is no pool of SS money.
