Yes, I care where they are, and they'd damn well better be stored locally in addition to online. Or not on the "cloud" at all if they're something which I care about the privacy of at all. That's the difference between my PC (Macbook that also runs Windows) and my iPhone.

You're lucky -- I've have the displeasure of seeing several VERY infected Vista and Win 7 boxes. (Basically, the choice was to remove the HDD and use a clean computer running malware removal software to clean it, or to re-install entirely.)

I.T. is a means of solving problems, it's not a religion. If it works well for the purpose, no need to upgrade. If it doesn't, then move on.

Betcha that a lot of reactors are still running Windows 2K or NT servers. OS upgrades tend to move very slowly in isolated automation/SCADA systems.

(1) Split an account with your friends or office (2) 20 free articles -- there's got to be a way to spoof that. Deleting cookies + changing IP #'s would probably do that. (3) Fake referrers from search engines or Facebook, though they may have ways of verifying Also, why doesn't NYT also have a daily option like their dead-tree version? You should be able to buy a copy, download the whole thing to your laptop or tablet, and be able to read it on the plane without being forced to pay for a 4-week period!

Hopefully whatever is causing this dose will dissipate. That's 0.8 rem/hr or 20 rem/day (not quickly lethal, but pretty damned significant). Not to mention the effects of inhaled isotopes.

How long before someone nails the server hosting the banner, leaving Homeland Security with a fat bill for bandwidth?

Fuck mandating self-driving cars - I like driving and riding motos. Fortunately, I live in NYC, so I don't have to commute by car so driving hasn't become a chore. As far as bans having no effect, we've banned many things and people still do them. Perhaps the kind of people who NEED to use their cell phones right now as opposed to glancing at a text or picking up an occasional call will ignore the ban. The casual users who'll follow the ban paid less attention to the phone and more to driving before the ban. -b.

That is an amazingly homophobic comment. Its offensive on so many other levels too.

Cheers +1. Yep, not only on that level. What if you love a woman who isn't able to have children? If you want to stay monogamous and not pay a surrogate, should you get a divorce just because she can't get pregnant?!? GP should get a life.
