Of course, all it takes is a change to the terms and conditions, and suddenly they're not allowed any more.
This is Microsoft, FFS. You'd be safer sticking your head in a grizzly bear's mouth than trusting Microsoft not to kick you out of their ecosystem once they've hooked everyone into it.
"Pilot error" is what they call it when the situation is so bad that the autopilot doesn't know what to do, hands control back to the pilot, and the pilot crashes.
Whether or not you're connected directly to the Internet is irrelevant if the hackers can break into some insecure 'IoT' device on your LAN and use that to launch attacks on everything behind the firewalls.
Amazon's stock price is based on belief in perpetual growth. If they can achieve that by giving money to people to buy their stuff, they probably will.
Uh, you can, like 'recharge' your gasoline vehicle in a few minutes in your garage by pouring in cans of gasoline, dude.
Our ancestors had electric cars before they had gasoline cars. They dumped the electric cars as soon as the gasoline cars came along, because electric cars sucked due to short range and charging time. They still do, though they're slowly getting better.
"If gasoline users had to pay enough gas taxes to cover all the costs associated with their use of gasoline that market would evaporate in a couple of years."
Yeah, because the 400-ish percent gas tax in the UK has totally made everyone switch to electric cars.
"After subsidies, you can get a new electric car for $15K-$18K."
You can get a new Civic in that price range, too. And it goes a lot more than 120 miles on a single charge.
Actually, last I looked, you could just about get two new Hyundais for that price, if you could actually find someone with two of the most basic model on the lot.
Your post is a great example of exactly why Trump won.
Liberal 'elites' showing contempt for the majority of the country--and, particularly for the people who use to be the core of Democrat voters--was never going to get Clinton into the White House.
Every Trump voter I know was voting for him. They might have held their nose to vote for Jeb Bush if the Republican Establishment had managed to get him the nomination, but many would just have stayed at home if Trump wasn't the nominee.
That's not to say they wouldn't have preferred a different candidate, but he was the only one standing who they could get enthusiastic about.

Then you don't know what you're missing. After a year with a VR headset, I can barely play games on a monitor any more.
And Tom's Hardware built a PC that met the Rift's minimum specs for about $500 a few months ago.
Oculus have been working hard to get the cost of VR down to build a market, and Luddites interpret that as a sign of desperation. It's laughable.
At the weekend, I was playing a racing game (not sure which one) on a $50,000 triple-monitor motion rig.
It was fun, but would have been 10x more fun with a VR headset.
"Few people actually gain much from the added immersion of VR over playing a game through a monitor."
Boy are people going to lack back and laugh at these kinds of Luddite posts in ten years.
What we're seeing right now is 2D platform gamers telling everyone that 3D graphics is just a fad that will never take off.
"The Rift has had substantially lower sales than the competing Vive,"
[citation needed]
Hint: only HTC and Oculus know how many have been sold, and neither is telling.
This whole article title is pure clickbait.
You merely reiterate the earlier point about projection. No-one can get the left to shut up, therefore you claim that the right do the same.
"or using the coordinates of their phones and computers to target them for a drone attack"
So ISIS just have to use a phone to post crap to Facebook, then drop it wherever they want bombed, and the Americans will bomb it for them?
It's almost as though living in a homogenous, high-trust society is a good thing.
Of course, all it takes is a change to the terms and conditions, and suddenly they're not allowed any more.

Ditto. I'd like an option to hide all the 'marketplace' crap, because I just don't want to buy from them.

Indeed. You have to pay for all that socialism somehow.

Your post is a great example of exactly why Trump won.
Liberal 'elites' showing contempt for the majority of the country--and, particularly for the people who use to be the core of Democrat voters--was never going to get Clinton into the White House.
"Well, Clinton did have more votes than Trump."
Yes, but millions of them were illegal or dead.
As polls consistently show, 99% of corpses vote Democrat.
"Despite this, anyone who takes the reigns in 2020 will likely inherit a smoking crater of a country at the rate things are going."
Better than the radioactive smoking crater they'd have inherited if the Lizard Queen had won.

Yes. Blame the judges who refused to let the government take effective action against the people who would make these kind of attacks.
If you want to let terrorists into your country, you can't really complain when the government starts treating everyone like a terrorist.
Taking down an airliner costs about a billion bucks when the final bills are paid. Driving over a few people in the street... doesn't.
That's what I do already. I have a cheap AMD box for Linux, an expensive gaming machine running Windows, and a KVM to switch between them.
When I eventually have to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 for DX12, it will basically be a $2000 game console.
The cost of the software development is probably negligible compared to the cost of regulations.
When SJWs take over an organization, it's done. Politics becomes Job #1, and whatever the organization was invented to do gets sidelined.
I'm surprised Mozilla is still around.
