In the future, the future will be obsolete.

LTO - Linear Tape Open - has been a mega success in driving up cross manufacturer compatibility, and driving down the cost of tape backup. As a consequence, tape use has gone up. (Possibly assisted by increased amounts of data, and the fact that it is now obvious than not even NSA and GCHQ can keep their data secure "in the cloud").

LTO is made by players like HP, IBM, Sony.

(It is at least as plausible as many of the other stories linked to Snowden).

You might want to try living somwhere where there is no government. (Other than your basement).

So, like dumping Windows then!

Yes, what causes the billions in economic damage is not pounding by Mike Tyson, but speed bumps This will hopefully provide clear and irrefutable evidence that some speed bumps cause severe to cars even as speeds well below the prevailing limit. Hopefully leading to class actions against the local governments.

You may love it, but for others it is absolutely horrendous! The problem arises when you have an intranet, and wish to go to internal websites.

Having your address bar hijacked into a search bar so [random bunch of scum] can inspect your activity is only mildly intrusive, but getting error 404 every time you try to access an internal site because [random bunch of scum] cannot find it by DNS lookup is very bad news for users and tech support.

[random bunch of scum] does not mean NSA or GCHQ - they will obviously get your privates anyway.

You don't, and I don't, but it should be obvious from discussion here that a lot of people do!
