My family always played Scrabble with 11 letters each instead of 7, or maybe 12- however many filled up the tile holders. You got a faster moving game, better words and scores. Much more fun.
How about we keep trying, or dismantle the whole Party concept completely? That way we can come up with solutions (which includes "do nothing") based on their merits and not ideological purity.
Wait, so does the sidewalk become an extension of the shoe? Do I become one with the city with every step I take. With every breath I take and every move I make will the city be watching me?
Not sure it's news for anyone. I know completely nontech folks who get the distinction because the use the web along with email and messaging and video streaming and online gaming. They seem to refer to the "web" when appropriate, and when they occasionally don't, who the hell cares?
It's the remoteness of national issues (not an excuse, just a hypothesis), even the TSA stuff to people's minds. That's why I'd like to see more state level or city level investigative stuff. Expose the things in people's own backyards (sometimes literally). Start fighting the corruption locally. I think there's a whole science of watchdog journalism to be forged here. Better to start small anyway.
I have to admit to a certain level of apathy myself. It stems from a feeling of "OK, bad stuff happening there. WTF do I do about it?" And I sit there like Pooh Bear all "think think think" and all I come up with involves starting a major third party deliberately designed to avoid ideology ("all we care about is what works"), with the requirement that you subject yourself to a test for sociopathy (is there one?) before you can claim a candidacy for office in this party.
And then I notice Minecraft got updated.;-)
Even I have to admit it gets hard to care in a world run by the alpha sociopaths.

It's unclear [why it was yanked], and Bitdefender told SecurityWeek that the company is under NDA as far as explanations for the removal.
But we're the tech community, dammit! We're going to assume the worst! Argh! Hate! Mbxpz! Grrr! Woof! Howl!
I thought it was Ballmer's username or something.
Aw, little AC. You must be so proud of yourself. Enjoy. This is as good as it gets for you.
but I'd still like to have my "why should I care" question answered given the caveats I gave, but I got modded down for not being a True Believer.
Proud member of the Weirdo-American community.
Huh. Kinda thought you'd embrace Greenfield as one of your own. Must be a schism of some kind.
I wish there was a more appropriate and genteel response to that than, "Get a life!", but there you are.
How about "Splitter!"
It's the nerd rage apocalypse post!
Do they have to stand in the corner, too?
Zing! One in a row.
UK picks its judges from the pool of headmasters, do they?
Hey, what?
Apple should just post "We admit Samsung just faceplant level failed to copy the iPad." :-D
Oh, pow!

Can I get a tank? I want a tank.
Or maybe a drone that just orbits my house all day looking for shenanigans. I don't truck with shenanigans!
So we stick with the broken Party system we have because something new might also not work.

Erh merh gerd! It der interhterbs... it terk mer jerb!
And so on...
You make a good point, sir.
That's my takeaway from this.
Then again that's my takeaway from most discussions.
I deserved that.
And both are known to move a lot of shit.
How a HAMMER becomes an extention of a human HAND
Stop! You're assuming you can touch that.
How a SHOE becomes an extension of a human FOOT!

My goodness, I'm just musical today. :-D
Always been partial to intertubes.

...kay?
Calling McDonalds will just get you some sort of platitude like "Free LeBigMacs for Life!".
No way. Hold out for the Royale With Cheese.

So what have *you* done about it?
Now it can be the "the little computer formerly limited to one order."
So investigate and raise hell and give people something to get riled up about.
