The proposal isn't to build a wall "around" anything. The proposal is to build three east-west walls to mimic the mountain ranges that have successfully limited supercell production in tornado alleys elsewhere on earth. Why OP threw in the word "around" is beyond me.
Which is why unique is the most important quality of a password. People that did that are yawning while they change this one password and go about their day.
I stopped purchasing or renting disc based media. Buying a digital copy from Amazon or Google is easier. Watching it on any device I own is also easier. Physical media is just annoying. And no, I'm not worried about Amazon or Google disappearing any time soon. Certainly not before bluerays are obsolete and everyone is buying their collection over again anyway.
A good ad blocker in your browser will be more effective in the long run than any AV software you install. Couple that with the common sense to not download and run every piece of crap you see on the internet and your computer will be fine. Every instance of an infection I've seen involved the person breaking one of those two simple rules.
I'll ask you the same question I ask everyone else who seems to be highly concerned about companies knowing things about them. Why does it bother you?
I use Google for pretty much everything. I'm a Google Apps for Business customer and have been very pleased with the services they provide. Their products work well and the uptime/cost ratio is excellent. I'm assuming their ads are still nonintrusive but honestly I wouldn't know as I use adblockers with rather strict rulesets so I never see any of them.
Do they know a metric crapton about who I am and what I do? Sure. Why should I care about this? How does Google knowing what videos games I play or what books I read matter to me in my day to day activities? So they know I played Skyrim a lot and which bands I listen to. Who cares? Everyone who matters in my life already knows all of that anyway. Why panic because Google knows it too?
If they really want more users then they should add profile support to Google Apps so the metric crap-ton of people who ALREADY PAY THEM MONEY can use Google+.
That is my problem as well. I pay Google money every month for a business account and yet we are the only group that can't make a profile or use Google+. It is almost like they don't really want to succeed.
Others have posted on what to do with your current problem. Now that you see how annoying it can be may I suggest full hard drive encryption from now on. Then when you want to get rid of the drive you just throw it away.
Yeah, the humble bundle is a good deal. Picked mine up today. Used Google Checkout though. Paypal can diaf for reasons completely unrelated to lulzsec.
While it isn't a solution for all of the reasons people destroy hard drives at their end of life, full disk encryption solves all the ones I care about. It is easy to do in Windows or Linux. When you are done with the drive just throw it away. Even handles the "too broken to wipe" case.
The adversaries it doesn't handle are the ones who will just torture the information out of you anyway.
Whilst you are free to disagree with him, I think it is short-sighted to disregard his arguments as "shit", since they are perfectly rational.
I don't know about the OP, but my problem with Stallman has nothing to do with his sanity or his ideology. What annoys me most about him is that for some reason people still find his comments newsworthy. There are plenty of odd people on earth who spout crazy all day long. I fully support their right to exist and their right to spout crazy all day long. I just wish Richard's comments were reported at the same frequency as all of the other crazies.
I'm not sure what exactly is "Insightful" about your post. It is a nice dream and perhaps the world would be a better place if things worked that way.
But it doesn't, never has, and never will. It is an ideological dream that won't exist in our current reality no matter how much you wish for it or try to legislate it. Sad but true.
If it happened 15 years ago and you weren't even charged with a crime then you are thinking this is more of a problem than it really is. People who have actually committed crimes manage to get security clearances as long as you are honest about what happened. If it was just an arrest they don't require you even mention it at all past 10 years. And that's for a top secret clearance, much less a job.
Be honest and show you've grown up and people won't care.
What on earth are you talking about? Did you look at the same pdf I did? They showed photographs taken of the original monitors that look way better than the footage that eventually found it's way to TV.
Are you sure you didn't misread the captions under the pictures?
On the other hand, if the core price doesn't drop (maybe only the premium will, $360 looks like a good number), then I think the Wii will sell just as many at $250 as they will at $200.
You have those prices wrong -- that would be $249.99 and $199.99. And if marketing research has shown us anything, it's that $1XX products sell more than $2XX products regardless of your values for XX.
The music industry is broadly unhappy with the fixed pricing and lack of subscription options at the market-leading iTunes Music Store and likely to support alternative services.
Call me crazy, but I actually like iTunes. I like that all the songs are $1. I like their selection, the interface, how easy it is to get what I want on my iPod, etc. I don't want to pay more for music. I stopped buying CD's a long time ago and it is the $1 price point that got me to purchase music again. If it goes up I'll do what I did with CD's years ago and stop buying music again. The last thing I want is a subscription service. Honestly, who here wants a subscription service for music? Raise your hands.
Now ask me how much of my time I waste worrying about the music industry only making a crap-load of money rather than a whole shit-load. Their whining about "mean old apple and fixed pricing" is enough to make a person sick.
Yes, I too saw the new phone's depth, however as I indicated I can't find the other two dimensions. I.e. length and width. It looks wider than the SLVR L7. As I myself pointed out the L7 is indeed thicker.

I don't see a single ad on space.com. But yes, the never citing sources thing is annoying.
If they really want more users then they should add profile support to Google Apps so the metric crap-ton of people who ALREADY PAY THEM MONEY can use Google+.

Maybe you should read the relevant articles first.
So if you use full disk encryption such as truecrypt do you just get a trashed drive?
Yeah, the humble bundle is a good deal. Picked mine up today. Used Google Checkout though. Paypal can diaf for reasons completely unrelated to lulzsec.
Part of the reason the average income in China is low is because 36% of the population makes less than $2 per day.
Wow. You either didn't read the complaint or you are retarded.

That you believe his real goal is to "protect" you is pretty funny.

Yeah, because no other web site you interact with does anything with your data -- that's unpossible :)

Thanks for insulting me by the way. Very mature.
