Considering Amazon Prime is likely a loss-leader, the fact that it is now costing more due to an increase in the profit-making side of things is irrelevant.

I would imagine the 0.75 is all inclusive. I doubt Google allows bundling of Play Store with no other Google apps.

$0.75? How about you leave that out and I'll take it for $2.00 less? How does that logic work? Besides, you can easily remove the Play Store from most devices. If not, this site might not be for you.

There's nothing "magic" about hibernate. When your system boots up, the OS initializes whatever it needs to the get to a state in which it can boot, then checks to see if their is a hibernation file. If there is, it will load it into RAM, and do whatever it needs to bring the system into an operational state. If not, the OS will continue the boot process. Regardless, decryption of your disk occurs long before the system has even checked for the existence of a hibernation file, let alone needed to start using its contents.

No, they don't.

The risk is limited to only when you are sitting at your computer. As soon as you lock your computer, the key is purged from ram.

Unsustainable due to underfunding, and underfunding alone. Their administrative costs are tiny.

I would argue that although hate groups are worse than barring people from hate groups, the government can stop the latter immediately, so it should be stopped. Work toward making the choice unattractive, not just illegal.

Ah, should have assumed it was derp.

What does the NSA have to do with Dance Dance Revolution Online?

It basically mostly supports the states that refused to set up their own exchanges, I believe. The 34 it supports should include all 27 or so that refused to set up exchanges, plus a few here and there. I was disappointed that Massachusetts wasn't included, because I'm curious what I would pay if my employer didn't provide insurance.

If a guy on the street was screaming that the NSA was tapping the phones of world leaders, we would have called him crazy. The fact that it later came out that the NSA was tapping the phones of world leaders doesn't retroactively make that person not crazy. Or was your point "Yes, I may be crazy, but sometimes crazy people are coincidentally correct!" I'm sure there are paranoid schizophrenic people that are right now being investigated by the FBI -- but they are still paranoid schizophrenic.

Not sure if you are joking? The Soviets actually did that in WWII, "Scorched Earth." There have been many other cases of countries destroying their own resources before the enemy can steal them.

You are a moron. You are completely glossing over the fact that the experiment worked.

No. First of all, half a million in assets does not make you a billionaire. Second, if all of your assets are illiquid, you are either terrible with money, or you think your assets are worth far more than they are. "Someone will pay $500 million for this SOME day, but today, I can only get $200 million."
