...and provide basic benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans, that is what these companies need to do to attract more workers.

...history it only makes sense that governments would fall in love with them. All the big players are working on creating their own.

Only take two day gambles buying 100 shares and selling a CC contract. Bought at $50, sold a $60 strike contract for $14.15/share. Obviously this is a $5 stock put I'll ride the meme wave for as long as I can. To the moon!!!!

That's the most important thing to me. As long as it visible and accessible in the interface I can deal with most other changes. Why they keep wanting to remove things that make the user interface usable is beyond me. Some think it makes things prettier I guess.

I use it for most everything. For simple text mcedit.

I control what I can control, and that's all I can control. Maybe I need to eat more spinach B-)

...when I launch FireFox, and the clear it again before I close. Maybe overkill, but just because I'm paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get me B-)

I can assure you that I haven't turned into a flesh eating zombie, nor has anyone else that I know who has taken the vaccine. It's really quite nice being able to resume our weekly Sunday dinners. My eldest granddaughter is getting married in June and all my family should be fully vaccinated by then. Still, I'll continue to wear a mask when I shop because I don't want to risk making the Luddites who refuse to protect themselves sick.

Thanks, I'm signed up for updates and keeping an eye their progress.

Thanks for the input. I had already tried putting a piece of paper between the battery and the sim card. I doubt the card is locked since I never set up a pin. I'm waiting for a friend to loan me one of her old phones to test the card. She brought one today but the sim slot in that phone was much smaller than my card. It's really a shame that the majority of people think of a nice piece hardware as a throwaway product.

Within just the last week it no longer recognizes the SIM card. I've tried cleaning the contacts on both the card and phone but that hasn't helped. The card being under the battery makes that a pain because you have to go through the setup routine with every reboot. I've gotten a good 10 years of service out of this device and I would hate to have to replace it with some lessor phone that doesn't have a slider QWERTY keyboard and replaceable battery. I'm even willing to forego data ability as long as I can continue to make phone calls and text and use WIFI.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees the obvious. Actually he reminds me of my ex-wife. She was a narcissist who clearly suffered from the Dunning-Kruger effect too.

Well I suppose if you consider software and encryption a facility that creates "a closed transmission path" the may have an argument here. Not a strong one, just trying to play the devil's advocate here.

Six hours is usually good for me. I just need 8 hours between shifts to have time to shower and shave.

If you don't know how your code is affecting the users hardware, you have no idea what side effects it is causing.
