I tend to agree about NT. Once you add the GUI component Win2k was the pinnacle of their OS line. It was uphill to that point, and has been downhill ever since.
I disagree on excel being revolutionary however, it was evolutionary, from competitors products and ideas.
And hope you can get there before they close. And since Saturday hours is on the chopping block too, there goes the chance for most of us M-F folks to get a package and will have to choose other carriers.
Back to the 'community boxes' concept, i prefer my mail to be securely delivered on my property, not some 'common area' down the street, ripe for robbery and theft.At least in an apartment building its normally ON your building and not down the street..( around here anyway )
My neighbor is elderly and we would have to get her mail for her. but of course, that is a crime....
Has always been the future. Sure, efficiency is not as high as in the full blown nuclear plant with 'new' rods, but if you can run your car/house/cell phone on waste. its a win/win.. 'cheap' universal power and delayed waste.
And ironically these days losing a kindle would be less of a financial hardship than losing a couple of books. ( it wasn't that way not too long ago tho )
If people used ink instead of reading on LCD then the % of people that prefer e-books will rise. Most people try reading on LCD, which is a dismal compromise at best.
That and if we had affordable full-sized color ink. Having this would take care of the books that you just need color for, and a larger viewing area. ( like technical manuals.. )
I used to be in that % that hated e-books, but once e-ink became available, most of my ( several thousand ) paper books got the boot. I will even suffer with LCD for those books that need color/size, until the above is available..

Sure, its cool to have a USB sized PC in your pocket, but its not like there are not already 100's of them out there, that are NOT locked down.
Just publish there, or other anonymous ways that cant be taken down.
Laws and judgments like this should not be followed as they are anti-freedom.
Prototype designs don't always go well, regardless of what they are made of or their intended use...
Success is often built on top of many failures.
Considering the planned use of the devices, being behind a walled garden really isn't that big of a deal.
Now was Apple the right choice? Who knows, but i don't think its because of their 'store' restrictions.
Not all can afford them even at the lower retail price, so no.
There isn't any, in any format. Besides, there isn't any 'news' reporting anymore. Its all about bias and commentary, not raw facts.

Sort of like freenet is. Tho more reliable as its not a single point of failure.
Setup your own storage at your office. Don't trust public companies for your data.
If you dont/cant do it yourself, hire someone to come in and doit. And audit the hell out of what they do.
Sure there is. Just not from the government.
Seriously, with that list there would be nothing left, even something as benign as NASCAR would be banned due to alcohol supporters..
All movie and music streaming services would be nixed... everything.
which most of the time are funded by tax dollars, at least in part.
WTH is that about? I'm an American and i want to know what my government is doing. .That should be valid enough of a reason.

And drop off a virus to slow the opponent down further.

"i didn't redistribute that file, prove me wrong"
If you cant provide enough value for people to purchase, don't bother 'publishing' it in the first place.

Since *every* government spies on its citizens, i don't think your suggestion 'if you don't like it go somewhere else' is an actual option.
Choosing another browser is an actual choice.
Now, if you want to toss in 'meets my needs', well you are still talking choice. You don't *need* a browser, but you do need a place to live.
For regulation, and then restriction.
You would think that Google's stuff would be first available on their own platform...
Google watching your stuff as 'payment' for their services is not the same as the government watching you, as payment for being a citizen.
One is a choice.
Leaves out 99% of the devices out there.
