Doubtful, unless you're talking about selling huge quantities. In small quantities you end up being bumped to the back of all lines and end up paying more for most components than you otherwise would pay. Other than the price, Open Pandora does all the other things you're asking for. Admittedly, I've been waiting for mine for ages, but it does offer the things that you're asking for in a form factor that's easily hand held.
1) Nice to see shills for the GOP haven't changed much. There never were any death panels in the healthcare reform package, even Fox news has admitted to the fabrication.
2) That's bullshit there, the issue is that the tax cuts are going to the rich rather than the middle class, plus the reason why the poor need more help is exploitation by the upper classes.
3) The government does take more, but the government also gives a lot more back, when's the last time Big Oil gave you anything other than a bit of gas? Trust me, you get a lot more for your tax dollars than you do for your gas dollars.
4) It wasn't an equal effort, despite your claims, care to actually cite something that demonstrates that?
5) The health care reform wasn't a debacle, unless you mean that they settle for less than single payer.
6) Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that they don't need to buy GOP politicians as they bend over for corporate interests for free.
If that's what you want to do, it's not that hard to do. SATA to SD Adapter Just set the card as read only and then only change it to read write when you need to do an upgrade. Or since it's and SD card you may as well just image the firmware to the card from a different computer.
Indeed, which is fine for collectables, but not for something that's trying to pass itself off as currency. Personally, I've still got a couple boxes of Magic cards, not because I'm intending to sell them, but because I want to have them to look through from time to time or possibly play with. Although, the prices on those old revised and earlier cards were still pretty good last I checked.
The difference is that those other channels are still there, whereas with this they may as well not be there at all because not only don't you read them, you don't even see evidence that they exist. Basically when you search for something, you don't even see that there's an opposing possibility. Which is bad, unless you're typing in search terms which specifically prevent certain types of information from popping up, which is tough, they should be present in the results.
Especially considering the natural tendency to discard information that is in contradiction to ones personal views on the world. If the actual inputs are then skewed to support that view, then it just gets even more extreme as a person tends to discard the more moderate views in favor of more extreme ones.
Um, spider oak does that as well. Granted spider oak has its own security problems, Dropbox is hardly the only option. Plus, if you really want to be secure, you can always roll your own solution.
I noticed that, I haven't actually given it any files yet, but I did notice that it didn't ask for my old password in order to change it. I'm probably going to uninstall it if that's how that works. But, considering that I'm more interested in it for syncing than for storing, it's not quite a done deal.
No, it's not obvious that they have them, there's definitely ways in which they could do it which would prevent them from being able to access that data without your permission. Otherwise no provider of services could ever promise that level of protection without the FTC investigating. The fact that the FTC is investigating this now rather than any number of other companies previously is a pretty good indication that it's a reasonable expectation to have.
Because it's not a little generic info about their lives. It's a small leak here a small leak there, pretty soon they've got all of it, and you don't have any privacy. You'd be shocked at how much information about you is likely out there. Even those of us that are exceedingly careful are constantly spied on by ad networks.
It might not be a big deal to you, but once that information is out there, it's out there, and there's no telling what will become of that information in the future. That there is the problem, there's no control over it and we've no idea what somebody else is going to do with it.
That's not really how that works. You leave it to private industry and give them a tax break. Or you vote for people that are somewhat less self destructive than a group of lemmings.
Except that the Titanic wouldn't have gone down had it not been for one botched order. The person at the helm turned the wheel the wrong way, but even before that if the cruise line hadn't interfered with the captain it's unlikely that the ship would have gone down. And Fukushima wouldn't have been a problem had they actually done all their contingency plans. WTF kind of outfit doesn't have a contingency plan for the only back up generator failing due to being hit by a tsunami in an area that's commonly affected by earthquakes?
When the US invaded we could have won. However, Bush wasn't willing to expend the resources and troops necessary to make it happen instead siphoning them off for that stupid crusade in Iraq. The US was winning until the government took its eye off the ball and allowed the insurgents to regain their footing.
You don't win wars based upon strategy, you win them on logistics, and here in the US we pretty much gave it away by stretching ourselves too thing based purely upon arrogance.
Nobody here says that, at least not that I've seen. But a bunch of us do point out that under normal circumstances and ones in which nuclear reactors are supposed to be engineered to handle, things like this don't happen. If you've been paying attention, this wouldn't have been much of an issue had the reactor been properly designed, it's beyond my comprehension as to why they did not have a proper contingency plan for tsunami, given the plant's location and the general likelihood of such a disaster. Had the plant been located in the Gobi Desert, I could understand their not planning for a tsunami, but the plant itself wasn't really that far away from the ocean.
Nuclear energy is quite cheap once the plant is up and running they can be run indefinitely with proper maintenance. Cost wouldn't be an issue if we required the coal and oil industries to pay a fee for the pollution they produce as a byproduct of production.
Yes, but the documentation ought to reflect reality rather than fiction. MS shouldn't claim that XP supports 4 gigs if it doesn't really support it. And it's really not legitimate for somebody to have to go really digging to find out that MS is lying about what they support.
No, it's because in much of the world, there's far more demand than there is supply to fill it. The US has it relatively easy as we've plenty of space to build more in.
There's also the bit about MS and its incompetent architecture. I assume that it's been fixed since then, but on 32bit versions of Windows, they claim to support 4gigs of RAM, but apparently that's not really true, the can only address 4gigs, but that includes not just the RAM, but the video RAM as well, meaning that anybody that pays for a full 4gigs isn't going to actually get to use it, and MS documentation is useless as always on the matter.
Which is yet another reason why MS sucks and should be avoided.
It would probably help if Intel could hire somebody that's qualified to name its product lines. You shouldn't have to spend months researching processors to be able to know what an i3 is or an i7 is.
That's sort of the thing, doing it for free isn't doing them any favors anyways. If you do it for free, chances are that they're not going to take it seriously the next time, and it's a really good bet that they're not going to appreciate the effort that it takes to fix the problem.

If that's what you want, you can always just use tripwire with the various related data stored on a separate disk.

And you seem to be assuming that the GP doesn't have midget furry gangbang pedo porn on his computer. That shit'll get you sent up for years.
Those already exist, some outfits even offer hunting via web cam. Which is about as repulsive as you can imagine.

You know, donkeynet used to be something completely different...
