Comment Symptomatic of what's wrong with American politics (Score 0, Troll) 404

"Experts on all sides of the issue seemd to agree that no clarification of the law would happen until a high-profile crime involving a 3-D printed weapon was committed."

Yes, let's just file this issue away until the problem is too pervasive to control. Nobody take responsibility. Brilliant.

The ineptitude of American politics and their reactionist mentality have slowly turned us into a de facto laissez-faire society. The reality is that our government is highly ineffective at dealing with modern issues, let alone proactively seeking to address potential concerns from emerging technologies. With gun issues at the forefront of today's political discussion, how is this not a topic that needs immediate attention?

Comment Step 1 - NEVER close an old email account (Score 5, Insightful) 295

I can't speak to getting rid of specific old traces of yourself, but you're definitely SOOL if you close the email account on which old forum/website accounts were based. Even removing data from spokeo.com and similar sites is based on access to email addresses that, again, were associated with old accounts.

Comment Ever tried editing an Office doc in Google Docs? (Score 4, Interesting) 243

Google can push their own platform all they want internally, but they can't control the format of documents they receive. I've resorted to installing LibreOffice on my personal system to edit/collaborate/modify Office documents before sending them back. Doesn't work so well in Google Docs.
