I'd love to agree with you but NASA hasn't been anything to brag about for maybe 30 years now. The upcoming Space Launch System is looking to be a horrible boondoggle.
At what point would you say criticism is warranted ?
Or at what point would you say it's fair, to ask just what is the point of a Mars mission ? That we should drain resources from just about everything else we do in space to pursue it ?
That's because google doesn't sell information to people, that Verizon, ATT, Comcast don't sell information about you, that's because there aren't businesses that collect detailed information about you and sell them to anyone who looks.
Oh wait, there are all those things.
Be pleased, it takes a special kind of person to think speaking in pig latin makes their conversation private.
And thanks for demonstrating you are just a troll.
All email, social media, banking and consumer purchases take place over SSL connections, and have for a long time. So the "party line" stuff is a non-starter.
So you use gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail, or corporate mail ? You don't think the providers don't or can't parse that ? It's not your mail it's theirs after all.
You don't think the credit card companies don't record and share information with the credit reporting agencies ?
Who. Who else has the budget AND the physical proximity to the bulk of the fiber (which runs through the US) to do a "full take" of what people do online.
Oh I don't know, maybe the people selling you your net access ?
Of course it did. In the classic game shows Tic Tac Dough and Hollywood Squares, two contestants whose emblems are "circle" and "X" are fighting to place their respective emblems in a grid of 3x3 squares. So how many episodes of these series are available through torrents?
the last time I checked, [GIMP] still lacked the support for color matching that would make it viable for creating images that were print-ready.
Have the patents on practical methods of color matching expired yet? If not, then it's impossible for free software to support proper color matching.
No more imperial shit.
Oh, just wait until the NeoCons hear about this rocket.
Look what happened to the British Empire.

Dell would be stupid to put Ubuntu on touchscreens. For those, they should use Android itself.
Window management in Android OS is designed to display a single application maximized. This works for 4 to 8 inch screens of phones and tablets, not so much for 13 inch or larger screens of laptops, where people expect to view applications side by side. Change this behavior and your customers will lose access to Google Play Store.
and me being in the UK probably means it'll either not appear on the UK dell site or be a dollar to pound conversion
Currently 1 GBP is worth about 1.50 USD. Sales tax is much higher in the UK and other EU countries than in the US, and included in the sticker price in the UK and other EU countries unlike in the US. This accounts for about 0.30 USD of the difference. The other 0.20 USD, if any, is probably shipping from North America and the increased warranty requirements of the EU.
If Exede is as crap as you say it is, what would you recommend instead of Comcast for people who are not currently in a situation to be able to move to an area served by FiOS?
If you cut the Comcast cord, then you're on Exede satellite with its 10 GB/mo quota.
If it's not a party line, then why does end-to-end encryption exist, oh yes, it's because you clearly haven't thought out what you just said.
Well lets first fix what you said so it says what you actually wanted it to say. If I am mistaken and what you wrote is what you meant well there is no need to reply because it's gibberish.
If it's a party line, then why does end-to-end encryption exist,
Now what you are saying is that it is not a party line because it's possible to encrypt communication on it ?
Well first it being a party line or not being a party line has nothing to do with encryption.

There is a good definition of how old style party lines work. In the internet case every router listens in on your traffic. So the first part of your statement is a fail.
Now the second part of your statement, Encryption makes the fact that it is a party line somehow makes the internet ? Aside from being irrelevant in the first place, and the fact that the net is overwhelmingly unencrypted (just an instance check the security on this site), you can very easily use encryption on open communication mediums it in no way hinders third party's ability to listen in.
