So what is your alternative then ?

I'm sure there are thousands of people world wide who would love to be able to flick a switch and just turn themselves off to escape the misery of they are in!

If you were given a choice to be stuck in a bed, being fed cocktails of drugs to keep your failing body clinging to life, all the while your family and friends get to experience watching you decay, wouldn't you want a way out ? Not just to relieve your trauma but to let your family get their lives straightened out as well ?

Or are you the sort of person who thinks that would condem you to eternal torment because you failed to endure the years of agony he/she/it/they had lined up for you ?

Everyone has a choice, let people chose their own fate. And if the person is not able to chose for themselves, then let their friends, family and loved ones chose for them.

Do you live in a happy little world with talking fluffy bunnies by any chance ?

The world of business is there to make money and that's it, if you can negotiate a deal where your products and services get priority over someone elses then you take it and run to the bank!

I used to sell systems to a US sponsored outfit that recorded telephone calls in the old East Germany from West Germany .. what's the issue ? Honestly and truely is there anyone who actually cares if someone you don't know, have never met, never will meet, who'se in a country that you can't find on a map and will never go to, has been "spied" upon ?

Find something worthwhile to fight for rather than trying to promote how much better free software is over paid software .. personally I detest most "free" software as a large percentage is unfinished crap and I'd rather buy from a company I can hold accountable if I have problems

I do hope hope your spelling mistake was intentional and just a parody of your "superiour" intellect...

hehehehe :-)

That appealed to my sense of humor!

And is a very clever way of HP getting twice the shelf space of a retail store .. your average Joe Public thinks they are separate companies you see :-)

... says the "Anonymous coward" ;-)

He'd have a job doing that right now .....

Why if you have 2 flight recorders do they not have the voice replicate to the data and the data to the voice ... that way it you find one you have the complete data set.

I know "crazy talk" but I'm a storage bod and it irks me when people lose VERY important data!

Now that would be a fun movie! :-)

But I shall still take a gander at this one to keep in the spirit of things.

"While NZ of course have an airforce"

Ummm ... well ... we sort of do ... kind of ... in fact here is what we have .. fear us!!!!

No sniggering in the back row please!

Going back to the original topic of how hot the salt is .. if you stuck one hand in molten salt that was 810.777 kelvin and the other hand in molten salt that was 800 kelvin could you tell the difference ?

To mere mortals 800 kelvin or 1000 Fahrenheit is perfectly acceptable :-)

*cough* bullshit *cough*

I'm sorry I really don't believe you ... can you provide me the details of your truck wioth a 600amp battery ? And explain how you are still alive while workign with such larga ampage DC current, then explain a bit more on how the server connected to the UPS stayed up after you shut the UPS down ? I'm also wondering how the servers didn;t melt with 600amps coming into the 12v lines

And the support and software layers ?
The tin is cheap, supporting it and providing useful features are what rack up the pennies.

It's P2P, you can't hide your IP from someone when they ask for a bit of movie file and your computer cheerfully sends it! It's the equivilant of the police walking down your street shouting "Are their any thieves here ?", and you sticking your head out the window to shout back "Yes Me me me! I'm a thief!!" ;-)

The best you can do is not respond to requests from IPs on a block list ... or steal Wifi from a poorly secured neighbour.

(This is of course assuming you have any family, friends or a FB and you trust them)

1) Buy a pen and paper
2) Write how much you have free on your credit card at the top.
3) Every time you buy something subtract the amount from the amount left on your credit card
4) Have you credit card statements go to your family member, trusted friend or FB
5) Authorize with the bank your family member/friend/FB to handle payments of your credit card from your bank account
6) If you need extra money .. phone your family member/friend/FB and have them transfer it

If you really want, you could always learn the PGP algorithm and apply it to the numbers written on your paper manually.

Now is that so hard ?
