Oops. Bad move on their part to increase profit. Better luck next time!
Not to make a stupid statement that people hate, but generally, Linux users aren't idiots. It would raise the eyebrow of anyone with any knowledge of GNU/Open Source that the price is not quite a bit less than a Winderz book.
On what planet is it necessary to keep facts like these secret?
Assuming that this information is accurate (what you posted), it is simple to see that this is YET ANOTHER case of "making people feel good."
The "selectees" are designated to be searched so that the "people" feel comfortable that everyone is being screened. Um, except for the flight crew members. That may be up to no good. Or drunk. Who knows?
You'll know when you take that flight.
That doesn't scare me. If you do the math, the probability of being in one of the dangerous flights where terrorist activity is induced is minimal. If I happen to be on one of those flights where a pilot decides to take the plane down using something in an aerosol bottle, that's how I'll die. You know, after I wake up tomorrow morning, a truck could skid off the road and crash into the building I live in and kill me. What are the odds? Next to nil.
People are always freaked. Logic and reason is beyond the capacity of most people these days. That's unfortunate.

Yes, indeed. But keep in mind that t^Hh^Hi^Hs^H ^Hi^Hs^H w^Ho^Hr^Hs^He^H than this is.^W

Google isn't leaking information to others who are curious about you. It's leaking things you searched for to companies that pay them, and hence they keep everything free to a degree.
"Who is this guy John in Arizona, and why is he into horse grooming? Let's tell everyone who he is and what he's into. Screw our personal privacy agreement."
Yeah, RIGHT. If you want things to be kept TRULY private, don't use dem internetz, much less a company's site on it that offers things for free.
Go somewhere and find something that's different than Google's stance. Go ahead. When you do, make a bet on how long it will be before they're shut down for violating the Patriot Act.
Google isn't selling the contents of your email to anyone, unless they're a government entity demanding it. If that's the case, you have already been caught and they're looking for evidence.
I see his point. He made a STUPID statement and clearly worded it in a way that is asking for trouble. He sounds an awful lot like the owner of a company I used to work for. Just said he was right all of the time, and the world is nothing but a perfect model of his own vision. Then he thought about it afterwards and had to find a way to cover his mistakes.
Watch.
Sorry, just my worthless $.00002. Logic and reason are mysterious and make me a weirdo. My bad. Oops, now I can be found!
*lol*
Everyone knows the real me. People lose interest in me quickly. They gravitate toward others who are mysterious and "cool." It's really nice that they can hide things in their life and use them to their advantage. It's always a bummer when that information gets out and they suddenly aren't the cool mysterious person anymore.
Everyone wants a life that isn't real. I'm not one of them. I'm just a weirdo because of that. Oh, I'm going to cry.
Thank you for sharing! It was nice to hear someone explaining their information and motives rather than just barking out definitive pointer words as many do.
What a load of bullshit. We fuel SUVs using fossil fuels which adds to the carbon cycle, hence contributing to global warming. Now, if we were powering our pets of fossil fuels as well then we could easily compare them.
Just curious what your viewpoint is; I'm not agreeing or disagreeing (for the record).
In terms of millions of years before Humans existed on this planet, what do you believe caused the global warming events of the past? Global cooling periods follow the warming events, hence "cycle."
I wonder what would be happening today if we didn't have and Human affect or intervention.
My father grew up there, so he and my grandfather have mentioned several times when we discussed Kansas, Iowa, and Minnesota, that MN was the one with the accent. That's where I get my info from.
I'll add yours onto the stack, as well. That's how people learn; listening to others. It's a shame that so many people are hard-set on themselves being 100% right all of the time.
...and no, I'm not referring to you. I'm talking about everyone. I was actually glad to see your message. Me likey the learning.:)
Try listening to people in casual unprepared (speech, not text) conversation. You'll be surprised how many nonsense syllables people use because their thought can't keep up with their speaking.
You know, sometimes things just make sense. You know? I mean, there are some things that I don't, you know, think a lot about, until, you know, I see a good comment on, you know, the issue I, well, you know, missed.
Good one, selven!:)
I have the opposite issue. Mind races, mouth tries to keep up. Words get dropped from the middle of sentences.;)

Pay more in taxes.
Come on, that was right there. I had to. ;)

Wait, they just hired them. Never mind.
Absolutely!
I'm proud to be an American with my tax dollars at work. Wait, I'm unemployed.
I shouldn't have even responded. My bad.
I'm busy. I don't have a minute. *snip*
No one can beat the $ as a tool to power the best method of spying! :>

Who gets to draw the line about what is private and what isn't? There's no black and white logical division. Just emotional gray.

I love it. Your statement is dead-on. :)
I'm sure there's one out there. I'd wager that it's not free.
Balance.
...and circle logic points out that this sequence of activities leads to everyone knowing about you having it, through her. Give, take. Take, give.
...Anyway those are my thoughts.
Thank you for sharing! It was nice to hear someone explaining their information and motives rather than just barking out definitive pointer words as many do.
Much appreciated.

Oh n0s! You've come up with a good excuse for further nuclear testing that das gub'mint can use!
Repent, repent. :>

What are your thoughts?
Yea "don't you know" is like part of their syntax for the midwest markup language MML. It's the same as in HTML.
See, SOME people get humor ;)

It's suprising how many times one person can, you know, say "you know" in one interview.
For the record, it was 22 times, don't you know...
Don't you know is from Minnesota, don't you know? :>
