But my IP address keeps changing, and I am sure some one had my current address before me as some one else will have mine affter me. Kinda makes this meaningless in my opinion.
"government to bring on charges of monopolistic practices" perhaps at one time they would, but don't hold your breath now.. Our government is in the pockets of the big corps. The politicians won't bite the hand that feeds them.
Anyone remember the movie Looker ( http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3767927065/ ) where the would scan in perfect models and make them more perfect in the computer then kill the original model? Great movie and the technology is here.
I'm curious. What device did you use to post you delusional response? Did anyone not using a PC post on this topic today?
"average person no longer wants or needs a PC." Can we stop mincing words and replace "average person" with the the true description of "idiot" or at least "sheep"?
"Give a man a clue he will think for a second. Teach a man how to find a clue, he will think for a lifetime.."
O stop. You can name it. Are we getting that fearful that we can no longer talk science? That's crazy. I'ts Nitrogen triiodide and I had a great deal of fun with it in the past.
I'll be waiting for a knock at the door.....
I'm in New York north of NYC, and Hurricane Irene passed through in August this year with rain the likes of which I have never seen outside of Florida. Then we had over 6 inches of snow before Halloween. Neither of which I have seen in my 40+ years of living here. Also, another strange thing I noticed; when I was a young kid all the leaves were off the trees by oct 31st, but that is getting later and later. Now it's at end of November early December before the trees are bare. In fact there are still quite a few leaves on the trees now. I am not sure why that is. When that early snow storm came through, it was a disaster because if the snow sticking to the leaves and making branches very heavy. We had widespread power loss. Lastly, spring and fall are very short now in terms of temperature. So indeed it think the weirdness has begun.
This is one of the many reasons why I'll never give up my good old trusty 2G phone. No gizmos or fluff - it makes and receives calls and text messages. That's all I need. Only way I'll get rid of it is if you rip it out of my hands after I die.:)
When are thees people going to stop hanging on to their old - no longer relevant - business model. It's like beating a dead horse.
They should wake up and smell the future and adapt. A bunch of spoiled children...
And all of their devices simply suck. They have no chance in hell to be a leader in this area or even 2nd place, so:
Those who can, do. Those who can't, sue. And threaten, And sling FUD, And blackmail.
Way to go B&N!
Personally, If you too stupid or lazy to backup your personal, important, and private data yourself (It's really not that hard), including off location backups -
Then you deserve what you get.. Im suprized they don't try to root through their customers backups and sell that off. Why in the world would you trust an outside party with your data is beyond me..
Stupid is as stupid does..

Or it's like: How dare you use this free and open thing that I don't understand and I don't control!
Remember, the judges, police, and district attorney get their pay check from the same place.
Yes, but the problem is that the items you mentioned are probably enough to get an idiot judge to sign a warrant.

Actually midgets are near normal weight for their age/sex - they are just compact :)

It's silly to expect anything you place on the internet is private
Well said. I think is not so much thees devices I hate. It's those who are in control of thees devices I hate.
P.S. I love my 2G cell phone!

You took the words right out of my --- keyboard (anyone remember what a keyboard is?) And I must say:
I AM A NERD AND I AM M VERY ANGRY!
It's exactly that kind of shallow thinking that is the problem. A gilded cage is still a cage.
Not only does god play dice, the dice are loaded!
Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. I did not want to leave when I was there years ago. A must see.

Perhaps we need Heisenberg Compensators

I have 2 Set top boxes from Verizon. One worked fine during the test, the other would not come out of the test mode and needed to be cold rebooted.

True, since QWERTY was designed to SLOW down typists to prevent jamming of early typewriters..
Had Ubuntu/unity installed - for about 5 seconds... Back to fedora with Gnome 2.
Can I wash my hands now?
Thees are not the droids your looking for..
