Wrote me several letters when I was too young to read or understand them about things he wanted to let me know about in later life. He was not sick at the time and had no idea his life would be cut short by Multiple Sclerosis several years afterward. On his death, going through his files, I discovered the letters and they were very touching and helpful to me especially getting through the crisis of his passing. It let me know that as I was growing up and he was taken away by work and other responsibilities that he was still thinking of me even though at the time he seemed to be otherwise occupied. It also helped me to realize he was a person, a human being and not just "Dad", and helped me to understand and overlook some of his flaws. They did me a lot of good, whether or not he realized it at the time. I highly recommend doing this while you can. Your daughter will thank you and know you better as a person as a result, and not just have to rely on memories, photos and stories related by friends, etc. after you are gone.

I hope that helps a bit, a view from the other side...

Because (most) bloatware doesn't spy on you or perform MITM attacks on your (supposedly secure) web browsing.

Maybe this will spell and end to this bundling horseshit, or at least make them VERY leery of what they choose to pollute new systems with. If they lose enough...

But it's not a secret. You know when you buy one of these your voice is going to be transmitted over the internets for analysis. You would expect them to take some obvious steps to secure the potentially private information from third parties but there is nothing "secret" about the collection and transmission of the user's voice. The only potential violation of privacy here would be the ability for a third party to intercept the unencrypted data on someone.

Well, they warn weathermen in NK they could be executed for giving the wrong forecasts! Depending on where you are in the world, it might be a possibility...

Regardless, the entire logical premise of this "article" is STUPID!

HOW DOES SENDING EMAIL OVER ENCRYPTED CHANNELS "PREVENT" EMAIL ADDRESS TYPOS? I mean seriously, WTF? What kind of logic breakdown leads from "so and so mis-typed the email address" to "this would not have happened over encrypted channels"? Near as I can tell, yes, it would have had exactly the same effect - it just would have come in on port 995 instead of 110. I just don't get the "leap" in logic that leads from a to b in this case.

That said, yes this sounds like something that should have been sent via snail mail, but by the same twist of logic, how would that prevent them from mistyping the postal address and sending it to the wrong person in the exact same way?

Yeah, fuck the Super Bowl, wake me when the Hyper Bowl is on!

Protip: Go shopping when they have discounts and coupon codes active; I paid $75 for it thanks to a 25% off and free shipping to boot!

This is an AWESOME 3-D transparent cube with a matrix of 64 RGB LED's in it, and they have about 50 pseudo-random modes it displays in, fades, spinning colors, it keeps changing endlessly and is the coolest bit of geek gear I have picked up in a while. They run about $99 so they are not cheap, but they are truly mesmerizing and hypnotic.

Yep, your Mom keeps stroking it while she sucks my cock and says the same thing...

Once they fill their iDevice with all their U2 and other IToons garbage, they fill up the free space so that there is no longer room for the bloated "temporary" upgrade package files to download. Then, they are stuck unless they remove some of their media (and THAT ain't gonna happen)...

I have similar shit happen with my old Android phone, running CM7 as that is all that's available for it, and large package updates like WasteOfSpaceBook run out of memory. Then I get to go all techy with it and delete caches and program data until there's enough free space left to download the updates, one of my favorite activities, truly a joy untold, not helped by the fact that the idiots keep updating the apps weekly for some stupid reason(s). The main problem with Android is it's not media files eating up all the space, since they sit in a different memory area. It's a pre-reserved "system" memory area that is very small to start with and the newer apps push the limit of that "free" space to the edge. Feh.

Is that you, Mike?

Still, we try.

Is that few enough for ya? ;)

Mike, is that you?

They have found a way to game the system, and then found others who will finance and follow their criminal model. Eventually with time and money the foam rises to the top of the septic tank...

It's now the non-pay camera system works. They take every car's picture, usually driver and license plates, then discard the snaps after you successfully pay and clear the booth. That way if you decide to stop and feign paying or take off, they already have your picture rather than trying to snap a quick shot as you bolt out of the gate...
