    How do you make a risk go away by paying for insurance?
    You can mitigate the risk if the Insurance company has policies in effect that help you manage your health, such as doctor visits, blood tests, and other things. But it does not "make it go away".

    Management of a highly probable occurence is what health insurance does, just like car insurance.
    Your outlook is limiting and blind. if you were to pay health insurance for one day, and then you get into an injury, how does what you paid into the insurance "make your risk go away"?
    As for my statement about the government, redistributed funds... just like insurance and how it is handled.

    Even though this is completely offtopic... WTF part of insurance do you not get?
    You are paying for someone else to get surgery, so that if, one day, you need surgery, others are paying for it.

    Premiums should go down because more are paying into it and it is being subsidized by the Governement, but because it is a business, they will keep them where they are at until competition starts driving down the price (unlikely).

    I am wondering why they dont put in kill switches to the fuel. Seems a waste of materials, as well as a tougher time finding out what happened.

    perhaps you are not understanding what he is saying.
    At Home: Files secure. In Cloud: unknown variables. Server down, backup processes, human intervention, government intervention, service turned off without notice
    At Home: Legally yours, and cannot be searched without a search warrant. In Cloud: Search warrant given to cloud provider, if at all, and data is searched without your knowledge.
    At Home: Files not datamined unless you download a virus. In Cloud: you can be sure, datamined.
    At Home: Files are accessed by known individuals pending hacking In Cloud: People you dont know have access.

    So... maybe you are right, simple files like MP3s can be stored there, just be sure you have proof of purchase, lest the RIAA come after you.
    Hey... maybe you can store the Proof of Purchase on the cloud!
