Email was my favorite. Especially

Subject: Can't send email
Body: I've been trying to send an email all morning and it won't go through.

Clearly, the best way to notify me that email isn't working is to send me an email about it. Spoiler alert: Email was always working fine in these cases. It's almost like the domains .vom .cim and .con don't exist. If only there were some sort of error report given to the sender explaining that.

What about "hacktivist"?

It was probably a prank pulled by someone else at the festival.

So when does the satellite toss it?

Sounds like y'all'd better beef up your security because, if they manage to access your network, you've violated company policy by allowing it to happen.
The government isn't bound by your company policy.

Your payment information always has to be exposed to at least one entity unless you pay for everything with cash. But it's far easier to effectively secure one entity than all the entities. And, if by some terrible turn of fate, Google's payment system is compromised, I still only have to enter my new account info in one place (once they've fixed the security breach).

You misunderstand how it works. Your DAN is part of the data Apple uses to identify you and Apple pays your debt to the merchant. Apple then charges that amount to whatever method of payment you've linked to your ApplePay account. Apple most certainly has your payment information stored on their servers. That's how they get their money. What they don't do is provide your payment information to the merchant.

The advantage is Google Wallet and ApplePay don't expose my payment account information to the vendor. If the payment terminal is compromised (i.e. Target's multi-million account debacle), I don't have to get a new credit card. I don't have to change my payment info at every online vendor. I don't have to change the automatic billing set up with my utilities. I don't have to memorize a new 16 digit account number.

Where's "I already use one or more"? I just wish it was more widely accepted. Home Despot's payment terminals show the "tap and pay" logo and the process begins but doesn't complete. The last time I tried it, the clerk was all excited because she thought it was going to work but it didn't. I occasionally use google wallet at a grocery store but I have to pass several other grocery stores to get to the one that accepts google wallet. Other than a few trips to that grocery store, it hasn't been very useful. Not because I don't want to use it but because it's not an option.

The 8 TB drive is the one being priced.

It took me about 14 seconds to find one for $20 on Amazon. IDE or SATA hard drive, USB2 interface. Took me longer to type that than to find the enclosure. Could probably find one even cheaper if I took the time.

Then they can do what some electric companies do. Offer a discount to consumers with a router that throttles the connection during peak demand and let them suck up all the data they want when consumption is low. I'm pretty sure that's a broad-stroke version of the model DirecWay currently uses for their satellite internet service. The FAP throttles you during the day and you get a window of a few hours in the early morning when the shackles are lifted and you can download without penalty.

What's a land line? And my dad says that's how the used to work for long distance calls.

I don't understand why that's so evil. That's how electric/water/gas works and the world hasn't stopped spinning. You pay a fixed amount for the capacity of your connection and a per-unit charge for what you consume. While I certainly prefer the flat rate unlimited pricing model, I can see why metered service would make more sense.

I usually have to pay extra for that but now they can't charge more!
