Unfortunately, million and millions of brainwashed masses will buy one; maybe even two. Nobody cares about privacy and the like anymore. I collected about a dozen or so links to real facts about Skype and the backdoors for Law Enforcement etc, and posted on many topics, nobody cares man. In fact they will attack you textually. They could announce right now that in order to use the Xbox One, you need an Always-on camera and a full time connection to a monitoring dept.; it would sell like hotcakes.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no hope for Humans and they completely ruin it for people who DO care about their privacy and other matters. So just let them have their fun and in the end it will bite them in the ass.

I actually like Xubuntu, less eye candy than you can shake a stick at and is faster than Windows could dream of. Hey, no fragmentation has it's advantages. Switched last year after a 15 year Windows run. Zero compatibility issues with Native apps or my Win Games. No Crashes and I don't have to worry about being locked in to an App Store or forced to upgrade by cutting me off of Security Updates and removing all references to self help from the companies site. Believe me when I tell you, no entity paid me to say this.

I like that Idea. If a Company has a product that it refuses to sell, license, update, support or any other option that allows people to continuing to use their product for whatever reasons; then, the Company should have two options:

A) Open Source
B) Placed in Public Domain without the Source Code.

The whole thing works itself out. If it's Open Sourced, people can make it better and have a alternative. If It's released freely without the Source, eventually usage of the product would halt as host Operating Systems progressed, which is what the Company wanted in the first place. It's same as if you legalized Drugs, the addict would eventually stop using, or OD which ends the subjects life -- problem resolves itself.

haha yeah I know what you mean. Always thinking you need to defrag, clean out temp files etc to gain more speed because something didn't 'feel right'. Wiped Windows, Installed Xubuntu, realized absolutely nothing was wrong with my Computer except Windows. Makes me wonder if that's why some people buy a new machine, because of the dreaded Windows degrading performance over time. Well, that and along with having to run software they won't update anymore, AKA Forced Upgrade.

After almost a year of extremely heavy use in Linux, It's just as fast as the day I Installed it. Now that's real innovation. As far as fragmentation in Linux? Old timers were right, e4defrag reports that absolutely nothing is fragmented. And no, new Software doesn't make a Computer new since the Software totally relies on the Hardware. But when you change out all your components for new goodies and smell that new scent, that's what makes a Computer New.

Exactly. I think people aren't getting it though, with this and the Router; It's starting to become pretty clear that our invisible signals are having an effect on nature. The future is going to tell whether or not it's negative. If it is negative, I can't see people caring much until all of nature has been wiped out by our selfish and care free lifestyles. Isn't that how it works now, Ignorant until it's too late?.

Flamebait or not, I think in the end, all the tests and experiments will show that WiFi has a negative effect on both Animals (Including Humans) and Plant life. If Magnets can negatively impact Human behavior, why do people deny these invisible signals of don't?. I'm not saying they do or don't, I'm just saying the test results will show a negative light on these signals.

All my equipment is wired by the way, and It's going to stay that way. Not only because of the unknown, but for performance and security reasons.

They didn't have what we have now. While, for them it was 100% fantasy and 0% reality. In the here and now we actually have the Technology to make it happen, it's no longer a daydream. Unless you're saying they predicted AI and Automated machines would replace future generations, us. Like it or not, it's already started to happen, like the robot that makes Burgers and all the Automation on production lines that replaced Human beings. But 30 years, I don't think so, we live in a world now where one year goes by as fast as two months, although, it's possible.

Oh please, even on a super computer the Firefox UI is as slow as Molasses. I can say that since I use Firefox everyday as my main browser. Why should I stick up for something that I know has issues. He wasn't even talking about RAM, he was speaking of lightness, like Midori for instance; Firefox use to be lean and mean like Midori.

I haven't personally looked into it, but I'd be highly interested in a Fork that brings it back to what it use to be. I can't find any information, but for Linux, as of last year the 3x branch of Firefox was still being updated; but don't quote me on that.

You know what idiotic thing they did? They combined Download and Web History. So since FF20, when you clear one, they both go. The reason they give is because Options such as that are hard to maintain. BS. Not to mention that silly, huge, Download dialog. Are they trying to scare people away or what?.
