And that's saying something. It won't even kill the internet anyway, just a large chunk of it (ie some backbone stuff, not all). It will be an inconveniance, but life will go on. God damn it, fucking america.

I know, it's pointless. Really, the data only has to last until it is trqansfered to another medium. Make sure redundant backups are made, and transfer them to new medium regularly, and things should be fine.

If it wasn't, bad. Simple enough. Apart from who decides that... I would hope in the future to see an option to disable this "feature" on android phones, but I doubt it will happen.

For all the linux users who buy a new box and get the windows tax, that's exactly what it's like, albeit on a smaller scale. Thankfully, I build my own machines.

That article is the craziest thing ever. He said we would be able to do anything at all, I bet if he was allowed to ramble on for another five minutes he would have been promising us the ability to shoot thunderbolts out of our assholes.
