    Rsync all the computers in your house to each other, have another offsite. As you upgrade your computers the data gets moved to newer and newer hardware. Is that so hard?

  2. Re:Seriously? on Congress May Permit Robot Calls To Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I would indeed do such a thing. I would deposit checks via my smartphone and cash I would just spend as is. As I am not a drug dealer I do not get often have lots of cash I need to deposit.

    Either way in the area I live in I have many choices for banks with local ATMs.

    Get a google voice number and give that out. There I just saved you $20/month.

    Bullshit, my bank likes to robocall me to get me to sign up for their visa card. Last time they did it I informed then any future calls would result in my moving my accounts. If I wanted their visa I would call them about it.

    Because that is total nonsense?
    For those who are opposed answer me this... Why should the government build bridges, everyone should just carry a stout log.

    I agree we simply can't afford everything we want. First thing to cut is the two wars we don't need or want.

  6. Re:What other products on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have been in single payer nations, never saw such thing. Are you paid by the insurers or are you their lackey for free?

    I agree. Too bad their results suck worse than their intent.

  8. Re:You know... there is life without TV on The Cable Industry's a La Carte Bait and Switch · · Score: 1

    Have you heard of streaming video? Netflix and amazon both have advertising free video. Also I can cook and watch tv at the same time, I often read and watch as well.

  9. Re:Don't see the problem. on The Cable Industry's a La Carte Bait and Switch · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile has/had such a plan. That system is also common outside the USA. In reality when you don't see that available you know the market is being distorted somehow, quite likely by a lack of competition.

    You are not counting people who dropped cable years ago due to cost and my rejoin if the cost structure was reasonable.

    I would pay the full $45/month on one condition they will never grant, no commercials on paid for channels. This is the same reason I will not pay for Hulu. Amazon and Netflix seem to be happy to get my money.

    Are those even available to people without cable?
    I know the espn thing requires you to have a participating ISP.

  12. Re:If no sports, then why not try Netflix? on The Cable Industry's a La Carte Bait and Switch · · Score: 1

    Netflix has actual high def programs. Hulu is lowdef for free, not sure about the pay version. Amazon Prime has HD video as well.

    Works for me.

    They already have too. Copying code would be copyright violation. Patents protect the entire idea of the solution.

    Something that should not apply to math?

    The fact is software patents are total bullshit.

    Actually they get money for each device that has the Google market, which they then also get a cut of sales.

    No, not at all. People on a plane or in a theater are not supposedly trained professionals doing a job.

  17. Re:They could disable the majority of botnets on Microsoft Disables Kelihos Botnet · · Score: 1

    Sure, I have lived in those places. When the neighbor kids decide to steal your stuff, your insurance will still refuse to pay. No matter how normal it is for you to leave your doors unlocked.

  18. Re:doubt it on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    Bullshit, getting in the way would be interfering. Yelling anything including stop is called free speech. Police should have less leeway than everyone else, they get to carry guns in public.

  19. Re:Videos I've seen on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    Life experience of many disagrees with you. Heck, news reports do as well. Look at that man the police in CA beat to death while handcuffed.

  20. Re:Expected Police Violence on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    If they were any good, they would be making sure the "bad" officers were incarcerated.

    Instead they lie and protect them. This can only lead to the conclusion there are no good cops.

    Are there any other kind of police?

    That was unfair, they are trained to do this and there supervisors surely approve.

    If he left the door unlocked there is a good chance the insurance won't pay. That is what needs to happen here, some sort of cost of poor security.

    Does that agreement even apply to Apple?

    Often FRAND only applies to those who are part of the standard body when the standard was made.

    And mods and mappacks and any other kind of user generated content. I just bought Fallout 3 GOTY for PC after having the regular one for PS3. Until consoles have that stuff, I will be playing these kinds of games on PC. I don't think consoles will have that stuff though, since it would mean running unsigned code, if the mods do anything really serious.

    We are talking about reducing the range for minutes at a time and by only 10% or so. Do you keep your gas tank 100% full at all times?
