If Google could write the code to bypass the security restriction, then so could someone with more nefarious purposes.

Thank them, then fix your flaw.

I live on the east coast. I have neither 3G nor 4G. I also do not have high speed internet access. It's not like people don't live here either.

Where I live, people aren't even as spread out as they are over the western wastelands.

Nobody can force someone to buy from Lenovo or Dell. The issue is that if the EULA allows for a refund if I decline the license, they should pony up the cash. I understand they have since changed their EULA and you can no longer reject just the windows license. That's fine.

All I ask is that companies at least stick to what is written in their very own documentation and agreements.

If we look at it the way you describe, for this particular argument it makes sense. If we looked no further it would seem like a good argument.

What of the some 200,000 Kurds that were killed? I guess they weren't a good enough reason to get rid of Saddam? If you could put a good number on exactly when enough is enough that would be wonderful. How many of the police were involved in those killing and how would you sort out the innocent from the guilty? Does it not seem better to remove all those from power and start from scratch?

I'm not saying everything was done perfectly. It wasn't. It seems to me that the loss of some books and buildings is insignificant versus stopping a genocidal murderer with control of police and an army.

Elections are coming up, don't give them any ideas for lofty goals that they might try to implement! I've seen them debate, they're all batshit crazy enough to try and do it.

I was on Wild Blue Satellite for 1 full year. They do a "rolling" average for bandwidth that depends on your package. I had 17GB per month. If I used 400MB today, that would "roll off" in 30 days thus making it available again.

My latency was a solid 2000ms or higher at all times. I lost connection any time there was heavy storms between Virginia and New York. I was paying somewhere around $70/mo. I had trouble staying connected to Steam, so I stopped using it and favored retail single player games for that year.

I'm now on a more restricted local ISP and haven't really looked back. Instead of being on a rolling average I'm on a hard 600MB/day plan. I am paying more than under satellite, but I'm able to achieve 30ms pings (the ISP is actually WISP).

My fondest memories of satellite are: turning off prefetching webpages, clicking a link and then waiting many seconds for anything to happen and often wondering if I actually clicked it, and checking the bandwidth monitor logs to make sure I wasn't about to go over my limit.

Seriously, fuck satellite internet.

I don't think you know what SCADA is. I can assure you that there are uses for SCADA outside of prisons and the vulnerabilities that exist within prisons are the same for those outside of prisons. The main difference what happens if they do affect a prison. To tie this back into tech talk though, SCADA is currently actively preventing a Linux file system creator from continuing his work. There's a conspiracy theory there, I'm sure.

So the only thing everyone has to do is change all their habits and re-buy things they already have in order to save power? Got it. You've definitely converted me, now you only have 6.999999999 billion to go.
