You did not buy it. At least that is their claim. You bought the media - the disk. On that disk was content. You licensed the content for a specific use per their terms.
You and I both know this is bullshit and you should be allowed to make a backup or alternative playing format. However, we are not the owners of the copyright and we do not have a say, legally. What would be nice, I think, is having a single time download that can be purchased and the onus is on me to ensure that it remains backed up. This downloaded version should, perhaps, also be available (single time only) when you buy a disk so you can back it up. It needs to ensure that the download is completed and resumable, of course.
It was not cool or interesting by the time it got to me. I did nothing to help matters. Actually, it was interesting and still is. I do not come for the articles. I come to read the comments - I learn a lot from them. I read a long long time before I joined. I only joined so that I could ask a question. I do not, as a general rule, post as an AC anywhere. I figure my questions and comments are mine and I own them in the sense that I am responsible for having made them. This includes my many errors, this includes any insights and good posts, but it mostly includes my values. I have learned much from reading the comments here (and at many other sites). So long as the SNR remains good enough I do not care who owns the site. There is an increase of pointless comments and abject stupidity but not to the point where it negates the value of the good comments. It just makes finding them a little more interesting. Okay, sometimes it makes finding them frustrating but I get what I pay for.
Perhaps you should read the entirety of the conversation? It may help to read what I was responding to. Then again, you may not be able to understand. Either way, you are in need of help and I am not able to provide that help. I would think you would know what you posted in the first place but it is there for reading if you need a reminder. You are costing me money, which you see as a bad thing, and therefore you need to address that per you own concern. You are harming me by increasing my taxes (something I do not really mind but something YOU, yourself, have a stated issue with).
Your mental instability is likely the cause of your disconnect and, again, I am not able to assist you. If you are already prescribed medication please, for your own good, take it. If not then I recommend seeing a qualified health-care professional and determining if therapy, medication, or coping skills are right for you. Again, I am not qualified to help you and your posts indicate that you are reaching out for assistance.
Until you have taken your medication or managed to get yourself under control via another method I am unwilling to entertain your illness. So, until you have reached the point where you can be both logical and honest you are dismissed. You may certainly type more, maybe you will get that winning feeling, but you will not achieve anything other than wasting more bytes. Seriously, get help. You are crying out for help but are unwilling to take even the first steps. Call a crisis line if you have to. Call a friend to take you to the ER. Seriously, I will even pay the additional taxes on your behalf so that you can go to the ER. I do not mind and it may save your life.
That, to me, implies that it is not stored in plain text. It seems that it is stored in an encrypted format but can be decrypted as needed. Maybe I am not getting something?
Anything that stores or transmits plaintext in a manner accessible by a third party should be opt IN, not opt out, because most people won't understand the implications but fall for the marketing hype about security.
Then your quote below states that it is encrypted "in most cases" in addition to being always encrypted when it goes out to third parties. (How, pray tell, the third party is able to use encrypted data that they are not being given access to is a bit of a mystery to me but we can safely skip that for now.) I think the salient point is that it is encrypted in most cases *AND* it is always encrypted when they share the data. Again, why they are sharing encrypted data is beyond me - they should just save the bandwidth and not share that at all.
Anyhow, it looks like the data is typically encrypted though it may not be but that is, hopefully, only trivial data such as meta information or the likes. Their terms are "in most cases" so I would not assume that private data is stored in plain text by default but, perhaps, I am giving Apple too much credit. Additionally, I could be not understanding something. I have certainly missed things in the past, it seems only logical to believe that I will do so in the future.
I think you have that backwards. I was not the person originally suggesting death for those who impacted others by increasing their taxes. I live by my principles. I do not live by theirs nor do I want to. You understood that, you know this, but you simply want to remain ignorant. I can understand... I am sorry for you and not in an plaintive sort of way - I truly am sorry for you. There is not much I can do to help beyond this and suggesting that you seek professional mental health services. I am not capable of providing them and this is not an appropriate setting for such.
It has worked for me. I am actually in the process of gaining weight - intentionally. I am about 20 pounds less than I should be. The story is too long to bother typing it out but, yes, I am working to put on healthy weight. I find eating lots of protein and more carbohydrates than I would normally eat is helping - plus I have a decent gym that I use.
Another thing that helps is that much of my food comes from my own property. I hunt and am able to cull deer without a license as my land is used for agricultural purposes. (I let people harvest wood from a portion of my property - I go in and mark what they can take but I trust them so they are not strictly limited to my markings.) I also have a very large garden. I freeze and can produce. I have a variety of berries on my property which means I am able to also make jams and jellies. These are not masculine tasks but I enjoy them.
A part of my property is a very large field. It is actually a series of fields. Many years ago some family had cows and, from the looks of the foundation/building remains they also had a number of horses. I have been considering putting soy and wheat in that field but I have not managed to get up the gumption and I am not sure what process I would need to get it harvested and the wheat milled. I am not so sure that I will have the time to devote to it in the next few years.
As an aside - still relevant I feel, one of my retirement passions is to buy land and open it up to the public. It ensures that the public maintains a right to land that they have always used. This has given me a diverse property with fields, streams, a pond, mountains, and woodland. I am able to hunt, fish, and grow much of my own food and take advantage of this privilege. Having signs printed that replaced the No Trespassing signs with signs that encourage use (for hunting, fishing, camping, ATV/snowmobile, use and a request to clean up after themselves as well as a landline they can call for help or information) has gone a long ways towards making my presence more acceptable to the natives. Additionally, I am speculating, my respect for this has resulted in more respect for the land - people actually do take out what they bring in. Some group of teens that like to have keg parties down in an old sandpit actually came in, borrowed my tractor, and cleaned up a mess that they had not made - some people had left things like old refrigerators, tires, a half of a car, etc. and they cleaned it all up. In return they use the land to camp on when they have giant fires and engage in underage drinking which I make it a point to not know about.
But, I digress... I find it much easier to feel well, to feel healthy, by eating the fish and game. I feel much healthier eating my locally grown vegetables. I have always had good health but my PCP tells me that I have the body of someone half my age. This, if you knew my past lifestyle, is amazing but a lot of it is not just the style of life that I am lucky enough to have but is also due to the genes I am lucky enough to have. I have a pretty high constitution. I can only assume that the DM allowed stat rolls to be made with 5d6 (picking the highest 3).
Their business model pretty much relies on open source. Why, pray tell, do you think that this is FUD and what would be their motive for doing so? Why would they want to harm their bottom line?
Oh, nobody. It is easy to rant about things that are only in your head. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, your rant made it past the submit button which means we are subjected to your mindless inanities. Seriously, how did you manage to reach that conclusion?
How about this: You and me both get started on an application to store, monitor and analyize 25hz data from every Phasor device in an entire, very populous country of Asia. I'll use my wealth of common components and frameworks, you go ahead and roll it yourself out of whatever the fuck you use. We'll meet back in a year, and let's see which one is more complete, bug-free and secure. Deal?
Sounds like a fun idea. I am game. You go with Java (an excellent choice for this) and I will go with C++. Should we begin today? You have experience in the field so you have an advantage. I accept that challenge.
You expect people to remain on-topic? You have been a member longer than I have. (I may have read longer, that is irrelevant.) You should know better than that.
I have done some work in Java. I am proud to say that I am not in the 1%! I have never made a Java applet. I can not think of any reason to do so. It *might* have been viable in the past as there may have been little choice otherwise (Flash? What was that one from Microsoft, ActiveX?) but I can not think of any reason to do so now and I am having a hard time making a case for having done so in the past.
When I was young I had an old Saab. I guess I have always been odd. Anyhow, that Saab was terrible and I had little money or expertise to repair it. I could not trust it to get me to my destination. Yet, strangely enough, I still used it. I could not trust it to start, trust the brakes to work, or even trust the lights to remain on for very long. (I did fix the brakes.)
Nah, those all go to a spam email and that stuff is automatically deleted. It is a throw away account at one of the spam email services. Those will use a different password format. Still not totally secure.
They charged me like five bucks for a half of a grilled cheese sandwich a long time ago. I paid, tipped (it is not the service staff's fault), and have not been back.

No, you should teach your kids to avoid hate speech so that you do not end up with dumb children.
