Actually, God did not give humans rights, He gave laws, very harsh laws and limited the right to speak to God prising only. The real freedom of speech, speaking against God, was to be punished by death.
My experience with my parents is a bit different: my mom refused to have her Debian laptop converted to Windows, the reason being "Linux worked for so many years, why change and have the problems all my friends have?"
And it's a lot easier to maintain a Linux system from a different continent than a Windows one.
I have received once such a notice from my ISP. It started by saying that an entity claiming to be a copyright holder asked them to forward a notice to me and they are obliged by the law to do it. However, the ISP added that my information hasn't been disclosed to the entity and there is no guarantee that everything stated in the notice is true or legal. Then the notice followed, in quotation marks.
Basically, my ISP told me to ignore the notice until I hear something from a court. They never tried again.
I put a brand new DRMed Samsung toner in a Samsung printer and the printer rejected the toner for not being an original Samsung item. Never bought or recommended a Samsung printer since then. Wow, it's been 11 years and I still don't miss Samsung printers.
Setting the bits to zero does not guarantee anything. Booting from an OpenBSD install media and dd-ing from/dev/random seems more secure IMHO. Rinse and repeat for the more paranoid type.
Ghostery blocks everything for me, both on Firefox and Chrome. It's just a matter of clicking on "options", then on "select all" and "save". It's better to have the option to whitelist some site rather than be locked out without a chance to make your own choice.
Question how do we keep sites from scanning our PCs to see if we have an ad blocker installed? what can be done if anything to stop them from doing that. If they can scan for an ad blocker im guessing they are scanning for everything we have installed.
They do not scan your computer. Their scripts running in your browser just check for a cookie or a session parameter that should have been set by the ad-showing script. If that's missing, you have an ad blocker.
In Europe, many taxi companies have mobileapps that allow customers to call a cab. The apps show available cabs and allow the user to select features (e.g. smoking/non-smoking), check the cost etc. Uber-taxi, I might say.
When I was a child, the herpes simplex virus was found in my blood tests. A microbiology research institute in my country (as socialist as it could be) gave me an experimental drug. Thirty years passed and I never had a symptom.
Actually, health should not be a profit-driven industry.
More to the subject: if private companies do not bother to research new antibiotics, why should we give them money for?
Why not fund independent (university, government institutes) research and offer the results to any producing company, free of patents? That would be a better use for the tax payers' money.
Apparently the new Blackberry OS was supposed to be able to run Android apps. It didn't help them at all. I think you were required to recompile the app for BlackBerry, [...]
Blackberry Z10 owner here: I just go to Google Play Store (using Snap, the BB10 client for Play Store - sideloaded), download the app, open the installer and the Android App appears on my screen, ready to use. Almost all apps work, except for those requiring Google Play Services. Google Maps works just fine, although it keeps nagging me to authenticate to Google - which itis unable to, anyway.

My friend's kid is intolerant to some component in the milk found in North American stores - at least Canada and US. However, he has no issue drinking milk originating from Central and Eastern Europe.
But how about a demo where she's putting groceries in the car or doing something else that's keeping her hands buys working something other than an information device and asks what time she needs to be at that meeting?.
Probably, because the phone would be in her purse or pocket while carrying something with both hands or while moving around the house...

Wrong. Google could encrypt your email, docs, &c., that are stored on their servers using your login password, and so long as they don't store your login password, they cannot now decrypt the data.
Now imagine the user forgets the password. How would you decript the data for use with the new password?

Since the local law does not allow the sale of a computer without an OS, in Eastern Europe many stores sell laptops with FreeDOS pre-installed.

Did you use the same fuel the dealer used? My VW turbo diesel started showing better fuel economy after using the 3rd full tank.

Money buys propaganda/advertising. Propaganda brings votes.
Candidates who get more donations, buy more propaganda and get more votes.
The donor companies effectively choose who will get elected.
It's a noun, not a verb.

Capitalism, too.

They sold the patent to a Western drug company and this particular drug was never marketed. Instead, we have Acyclovir & friends, which "Taken daily, these medicines can lessen the severity and frequency of outbreaks.".
