If you care about privacy at all you don't use the internet, because everything is monitored and logged. Seriously stop being a paranoid.

To an extent. Full disk encryption when its not necessary is unnecessary paranoia. But preppers take that paranoia to an extreme. Like having an entire arsenal that can be used for shooting up a school.

Its been reported that she was a "prepper." So there's an underlying mental illness going on there. Preparing for the end of the world is not something sane and rational people do.

I don't mean to sound callous, but for the most part, keeping people alive as an ER nurse isn't advancing humanity as a whole. Yes, your grandmother was a great person for doing it. But in the grand scheme of things, unless she saved the life of someone "important", she had no lasting mark on humanity, and you say yourself that she wasn't that important "(county hospital in rural area)", aka somewhere where she did a lot of good for people, but not a lot of good for humanity. Not to say that her job isn't important to people, but its not important to humanity as a whole except in a few off cases.

No offense, but its a matter of scale. This man was famous for good reason. Your grandmother, while I'm sure you loved her very much, did not advance humanity in any way, otherwise she too would have been mourned in the news. Yes human culture's celebrity worship is excessive 99% of the time, but this is one of the cases where we as a species have genuinely lost someone of great import.

You're forgetting that Microsoft charges 10000-30000 to push a patch. Its not something that most publishers want to do unless they absolutely have to.

Ignoring the fact that the USPS is only broke because Congress is trying to kill it by forcing them to pre-pay 75 years worth of pensions. Without the pre-paid 75 years worth of pensions, USPS is running at better margins than the publicly owned couriers.

To use Direct X 10/11, which is superior both graphically and performance-wise, you need Vista or 7.

Obvious troll is obvious. Saying steam is very bad on pricing is one of the dumbest things I've heard in my entire life.

etrade only charges a 9.99 fee transaction fee. I got in 10 shares at 40, so 410 dollars overall. as long as you arnt buying/selling willy nilly, its not expensive.

by heard, do you mean you are a poor white kid unable to get any poon and thus resort to overpriced masturbatory aids?

Our wonderful Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people. And people are allowed to monetarily support the candidates they like. Welcome to America, we are not a democracy, we are not a republic, we are a corporatocracy.

Hahaha. no. Normal public school is about molding kids to be good little office/factory sheep. It SHOULD be about teaching them how to learn, but it is not. 2

The PSP in general is the best selling non-Nintendo handheld, ever. Its a pretty big accomplishment. Sony has quite a big clue as to what they're doing, and are scaring the pants off Nintendo while they do it (See: Nintendo price dropping the 3DS a week after announcing that the Vita launch price is == 3ds launch price, well before nintendo normally price drops.)
