I have to agree with you..
Good thing most of the crowd comes here after only reading the summary and may heed your warning

I have over 200 I can loan for the moment...after that my Bearded Dragon and Chameleons will have a massive feast.

I think if a civilization had the technology to spread across a galaxy there would be better means of travel.
Think about it. Our galaxy is relatively small in it is 100,000 ly in width and 20,000 ly in height. Right now we can't even get to our nearest neighbor(Alpha Centauri) in a lifetime. If we could spread across a galaxy, there would be some other amazing form of travel that would make sling-shotting around a black hole look like taking coach.

no, I won't. It's the same reason I don't vote.

You can't order the Throwback version? That is made with the real sugar. In fact when i drink soda now I only drink the stuff with real sugar. I can taste the nastiness of the FRUCtose in everything else. Jarritos is a good brand from Mexico that uses real sugar and natural flavors.

"XP support is over" here fixing my shit

Same here, I had a recall for my 2002 Ford Ranger a few years ago. I haven't owned that truck since 2007.
The recall had something to do with an ignition switch catching fire...even when the vehicle was not in use. Last I checked I don't think anyone's comp was at risk of bursting into flames due to a security patch not being installed.
Car comparisons won't work on this because if cars aren't recalled for dangerous flaws, owners and other people are in danger of injury or death. The only way my computer is going to kill someone is if i use it to beat them to death with it
(or if I play games on it for days on end.)

And there are a shit ton more articles on that topic...

One would think if they know how to reinstall their network drivers they'd be just fine in keeping their system secure enough.

Even though I've never used it...

Or simply practice restraint/self control.

You're right. Give the NSA a call. I am sure they have the ability to do this since they have all of us in their database.

I'm 34. My mother doesn't give a shit what the fuck I say on the phone. She knows I am an adult and have to vent frustrations at times that she is ok if I rattle of 'fuck' a few times.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know what is so important what someone said you are willing to get seriously injured or die for.

More like 2009.
I stopped in 2010 due to excessive power use. I used so much power that I wasn't even breaking even with the bill. Then the final decision was made to stop when cops showed up to my house expecting to find me growing pot. I showed them my setup and explained what I was really doing.
I only see it viable if multiple people doing it at different locations and then pooling it. Later they'll kill each other until the last one gets all the gold.

HAHAHA...really? time to read the ToS. That phrase(not verbatim but states something like) 'monitoring their network...for suspicious activity' etc. Is just a buzz phrase for 'we can watch what you do on our network'
