Look, if you had a choice of a pace maker running Android X, or Windows X which would you choose?

All of your bases belong to US.

I prefer a generous amount of thermite to permanently erase (melt) hard drive data. 100% effective in less than 20 seconds.

If you miss the password three times on my phone, the thermite security feature is triggered, slagging both the phone and the hand holding it. That's why I never drink and text anymore.....

If the attackers really wanted to get someones attention, they would not be going after the websites of these companies, they would go after the processing servers. The pocket book is what gets the attention.

Perhaps the developed world should consider that when you can't feed yourself or your family, broadband is not really that high a priority. If you also factor in the illiteracy rate, it becomes even less of a priority. The things these countries need are much more basic and critical to survival. Clean safe water, renewable, self sustained sources of food. To hell with broadband, and I run an ISP.

I always like to plan ahead. They say that the more times you've been knocked out, the higher your odds of getting Alzheimer's. Therefore, since I've been tapped out a few times, as I age further I shall once again begin skydiving. It will be a self limiting design..... If I begin to succumb, it's only a matter of time before I forget something important.... Either the parachute, or what comes after two! Marco

If you have a linux box in the US, install NX Server (free) on that box, then install NX Client on your laptop or USB memory stick with whatever distro you want to use. Secure remote browsing done easy. Marco

Just looking around at the dumb asses driving in my area with just 2 dimensions to work with, adding a Z axis for these numbnutts to deal with would mean utter and complete insanity!
