Dead bodies suddenly become the greatest source of stolen identities.

Simple enough, package up the 'known good' files on your server into a torrent, give torrent file to laptop, have it use bit torrents built in hash checking to verify and, if bad, replace the damaged parts.

I believe the word you are looking for, is rapt.

Unless you are into having cling wrap spun around you.

MS is continually bashed for security reasons, and mocked for being a virus spreading engine etc etc. Those who continually make such silly and baseless allegations, as evidenced by the story above, don't even once think about the alternatives and THEIR security problems.

After dumping Windows and MS products in general a few years ago, I have had a first hand hard lesson in the probelms of 'alternative' OSes, if you can call them that. My problems have been nearly unending since switching to Linux, I mean just last month, or was it the month before, my laptop crashed. This wasn't the first time either, it routinely happens 2-3 times a year.

Think about it people, if you don't use MS, you might not have horrific security problems that compromise all conected devices and identities, but you may have to suffer through a similar fate to me. Be careful what you ask for, and THINK before you whine in public.

Technically, mind uploading is a 'no-brainer' ;)

Possibly some prices are including just the fuselage and the R&D for it, whereas others might include the cost to have them fully loaded with ordinance and equipment as well.

Or I am a disabled pensioner who works a bit as well, has less than $10,000 income and gets all their tax back, plus my medical benefits.

Yes, yes I did understand the question.

All the people who would need to vote on such a thing are the same people being paid by the 'rights holders' not to allow such things to happen.

It is a nice dream though :3

Work from home on an online (muck based) game with a group of other coders/devs and we use ventrillo to keep up to date on who is doing what.

On a side note, phones make a great hands-free vent clinet.

YOU LACK WILLPOWER!
