What if I got rid of the off button?!? That would be MUCH SIMPLER!
It's a most troubling prospect you bring up there, if only there was a way that several applications could share the same library. Maybe we could create some sort of package system, where you download the library just once from something we could call a repository. Then we could have a package manager to sort this out, so that you could have tiny 100kb apps using a 10MB library. Oh, a man can dream... What? Sort of like FLASH? (ducks)
It's really hard to get worked up about this. If someone is missing, the police look for them. It's great that they use all of their resources. Privacy is great, but so is staying alive I really tend to agree. Should I ever disappear willingly and not wish to be able to be found, I can assure you that the cell phone in my name would be on a rather long list of items that I would not be carrying on my person.
I understand the concept of Occam's Razor, but it could really be a case of AND instead of OR.
It fits the results better, actually. Occam's Razor applies to everything but politics
The game developer has to make what is likely going to be a dull drab game Come on! Adjectives like dull and drab hardly describe working at NASA! Imagine a game where you have to beg for money from diplomats, fight off the disgruntled engineers after more budget cuts, all the while being bound up by several rolls of red duct tape! (It's not just used on apollo missions!)
I for one can see millions of people paying $20/month for the privilige!
For coffins, we'd rather people used woven wicker, plantation pine or recycled cardboard. So let me get this straight? I pay money to be buried in a cardboard box?
Better example:
Windows 98
Windows ME
(Actually, Vista doesn't piss me off like XP always did. It's still Windows, but Vista's compatibility problems aren't any worse than XP's were six years ago. And I leave UAC turned on, because even though it's a piece of crap, it doesn't get in my way unless I'm trying to do things I don't frequently do. But even Microsoft wishes Windows ME never existed.) Yes. Tragic when the name of a flagship operating system stands for Might Explode.
Although, seeing the borg icon makes me doubtful about how long it will be optional for I found that quite a profound statement, especially since right after reading it, I got a popup saying "Updates are ready to install"...

If you're that concerned about it, tick a box to say that you do not wish your location be disclosed if you are ever missing.
Prevents lawsuits from the " found in a ditch" mob and the "I don't want to be located" group.
I for one think that this is hardly a stab at liberty, but more a common sense exception when my life may be in danger.
DOH!!!

Wake me up when the spin doctors are done.
I don't trust any statistic that I didn't make up myself.
You put the lime in the coconut, and drink it all up... Then die of radiation poisoning.
It would only ever happen at the movies.
Or are you just happy to see me?
For example:

Yes, yes. We switched from coke to pepsi.
On that note, most people are under the mistaken belief that Australia is under a democracy. Wrong. We are an Autocratic government.

Step into the parallel universe where Bush wasn't swapped with a monkey at birth. Now *that* is truly amazing.
