Did Namecheep notify it's users via email that their system was compromised and they need to change their password? If so, and they ignored it, oh well, it's your own damn fault. If Namecheep didn't notify it's users via email, then Namecheep is at fault and should be accountable for any damages, monetary or otherwise.

Counting is logical and straight forward, the English language, spelling in particular, is anything but...

I fully understand that, however the parent was talking of doing away with the "extension cord" and have each structure generate it's own power via solar or wind. The only way to do that with todays energy storage capabilities, would be to abandon all cities not in a desert or mountain area where solar and wind power are prevalent.

Yeah, the buildings in Seattle could certainly use solar and wind to generate all the power they need.

Or are you suggesting the whole country move to the desert and mountain areas?

No, but a regulation designed to affect 10 or 15 percent of the market participants, based on the action of this 1 percent, would have a great deal of affect on the whole Airbnb market.

People think businesses and CEO's only worry about short-term gains, but they aren't as stupid as you think. Consistent short-term gains require a long-term plan, and consistent gains are what's needed to build wealth.

It's Facebook. I doubt it's of any importantce even to the op. At any rate, the NSA has a copy for backup.

Yeah, and Gene Roddenberry wrote about faster than light space travel back in the 60's, but that didn't make it possible.

Cell phones can, under ideal conditions, transmit 30 to 40 miles, while a low earth orbit is 99 miles up, and it would have to be directly overhead to be 99 miles away..>/p?

Fictional stories are fiction for a reason.

That's kinda how they work, depending on the design. It's the cell phones that don't work that way.

Spending quality time with family does not mean constant interaction between all parties. Just being in the same room, while each does their own thing, is quality time. If something pops in your mind, you're right there to discus it. Likewise if there's something your children have on their mind, you're right there.

This is where the family room developed, and it's also exactly what the current "social media" crap is trying to emulate.

Don't keep them in the same pocket?

I hold my phone in my left hand because I'm right handed, so I keep it in my left pocket. I use my keys with my right hand, so they stay in my right pocket. Up until I got my first cell phone small enough to fit in a pocket comfortably, my left pockets (both front and rear) remained unused.

Thinking sex between consenting people is dishonest, shameful and/or immoral has led to many of the draconian laws on the books today.

It's not nice to point out someone's Lisp.

Yea, but don't go with any of the *bunto dists. It's not working on 14.10a2 AFAIK.

If I (and I'm sure 99.9% of Linux users) really wanted a DRM free copy of something I watch on NetFlix, I'd not go through the trouble of de-DRMing it myself, I'd just download the damn thing form the many places it's already DRM free. I pay a premium for NetFlix with two DVD/Blue Ray disks and unlimited streaming. Id' like be able to watch steaming on my Linux computer. Same goes for Amazon Prime. All the crap you have available for streaming is already available at a multitude of places. You aren't preventing shit from getting lose.

I think if you're still alive after 30 years, you probably didn't really need those meds after all.

There's a reason some medication needs a prescription from a doctor. They aren't supposed to give you what you ask for.
