    what "team" I feel the same way about many of the programs put in place by the republicans. How much money does the military spend and waste every year? plenty. At least I have the balls to put things down with my name unlike you coward

    obamacare is a perfect example as well. the costs are 3X higher than we were told it would cost already and most of it is not even in place yet.

    30 grand a year to work in a warehouse is not a bad wage. 20 is a little low but 30 is livable. Should we start paying mail room workers 100 grand a year???

    And I could make the opposite argument.

    The local restaurant does depend on the community, this is true. but the local restaurant also serves the direct community more than a warehouse or a data center. The data center could be taking up a large portion of land, which could be used for other things that directly affect the community more.

    20 years ago most people didnt have inkjet printers, now everyone does. I would wager 3d printing costs will fall and many more people will have them in the next 20 years.

    I put out a CD ripping program years ago (not gonna link it because its dated and useless by todays standards) but in the ToS, I wrote that I was given the right to each users first born child as well as hand jobs from any male users girlfriend... I dont think that would hold up in court if i pushed it, but it WAS in my programs ToS

    AS LONG as the information is presented in a way that users know what they are giving up. Meaning a fully secured system is close to useless because the onyl secure system is an unplugged system. We all know this, we are here on /. now having said that. In this day it is only right for these things to be made aware to the user. Instead of silently removing java, How about a popup explaining why it was disabled and options the user has? or a popup explaining that java is vulnerable, do you want to block it or continue to let it run. Silently blocking ANYTHING is wrong. just as silently installing anything is wrong.

    again, If i run a 3rd party monitoring system, I allowed them into my system. If this is on by default, then I am not sure I am ok with this.. What if apple decides one day that they dont want YY running on macs anymore (they have remote wiped IOS apps that were not "harmful" in the past) they have that ability. I am sure most mac users dont even know about this. I asked a few of my friends who are die hard mac users in the past hour if they knew about this they had no idea.

    I dont actually use a mac, for this very reason so no I did not know I could disable it. how many other mac users know they can disable apple watching their PCs without them knowing about it? how many of them even know apple is monitoring their PCs?? I am not a fan of regulation but one where companies who sell electronic devices must have these types of things opt in rather than opt out would be a great first step.

    But How is it ok for apple to disable software on MY computer, without my permission? I never told apple I wanted XX blocked, so apple should not know I have XX running to begin with. IF apple is blocking XX from my computer, without my permission, then is apple breaking any laws? unauthorized access to a PC for example? As My sig says, im sure its hidden in the EULA somewhere that apple can do this but to me, it is apple breaking into MY PC, and disabling software. That just makes me wonder what else apple has access to???
