Where does that fit in your Analyze! spreadsheet?

Hear, hear! As totalitarian countries go, the US is slow to act...oh wait, perhaps if this ruling isn't challenged, ends up having some impact, and surveillance is ameliorated, the US won't carry the "totalitarian" adjective any longer.

Welcome to the world of man-scaping. But hey, at least you have eyebrows to waggle at the ladies now.

I'm surprised only one other person pointed out almost none of that info is needed. Banks, courts, insurance, attorneys, brokers, all of them have procedures which negate passwords/PINS/all that info the executor of the estate typically doesn't know.

What you do want is to get way more copies of the death certificate than you imagine you'll ever need. The death certificate and the institution's forms will gain you legal access to everything. Accessing them improperly could lead to trouble.

(A list with passwords should be outdated in a matter of weeks when passwords are changed anyway, account numbers when accounts are closed/moved, etc. It's just quicker/easier to use the institutions process and doesn't ruffle any feathers.)

It's lingual, "could be 1000 times faster" includes every portion thereof. Heck, "could be 1000x faster" includes 2000x faster too.

Gotta' watch those conditional possibilities. ;-)

I believe the "could be" part, if it's just 10% faster s/he's right.

And an attempt by 2020 means more like 2026, and the US will have an incompatible slower version around 2030.

Jaded, I am.

We know that whenever a headline asks a question, the answer is typically, "No."

In this case, you could go so far as to say, "Obviously not."

Try an Acura RL with SH-AWD first. The Benz system will obscure a bad road condition, causing you to drive with inaccurate information and potentially overdrive for conditions. The Honda system speeds up the outside wheels, effectively rotating the car à la a row boat, and it feels amazing, like you are accelerating down a straight road while actually sweeping a bend. Instead of the side bolsters pushing into you, the back of the seat pushes you from behind while you are in a turn. However it's not a fictitious feeling, but really works that way.

I think extortion is extortion.

As a landlord, there are other considerations too, depending if your tenants have the option to not pay for your "lack-of-service", or reduce the rent by the amount alternatives cost them, how it is described to them, and the laws of the individual state, it might even negate their legal requirement to pay full rent.

Landlords aren't often permitted to prevent tenants from obtaining services. Courts don't tend to favor entities trying to obstruct students' abilities to obtain learning resources.

In the lifestyle sense, my father had tools and fixed things instead of blowing his hard earned savings on paying others to do what anyone could.

In the computer sense, magazines provided basic programs you could manually type in.

In the practical sense, I had a need, I wanted to read late at night but mom would catch me with a flashlight. I used a 12-volt toy train transformer, a 12-volt taillight bulb from a car, wires running to two thumbtacks in the doorframe of my bedroom door to act as a switch, so when mom opened the door the light went off and all I had to do was close to hide the book and pretend to be asleep--was successful for years.

When I becme older, there were free PD programs. Nowadays that there are no magazines, and kids grow up with tablets and expensive apps, I have no clue. (Heck, people were getting in car accidents from heavy key-chains turning off their ignitions instead of simply doing rolling restarts.)

I loved it, felt like manual rack and pinion at high speed, felt similar to hydraulic power steering at low speed but far smoother. Humans are dynamic/adaptive creatures, and it doesn't feel any different at different speeds--if you didn't know it was an adaptive electronic system, you'd have no clue. Congrats Ford on catching up to what Honda was doing a decade and half ago.

And my 2001 Honda had it.

Who can I upset enough to buy my properties for a hundred and sixty times more than I paid?

Hear, hear, as a consumer, eye candy is wasted on me, artificial behaviors are the "life" of the game. There are a couple games I experience regularly, one has really old tech (like 1990s era) with fabulous AI that keep me on the edge of my seat, the other undergoes regular development, receives compliments on it's visuals, but feels lifeless.
