Comment Re:Ditto ships reducing exhaust particulates (Score 1) 54

Those scientists should be cancelled and debanked for feeding the models with garbage going against the ones following the science and reducing emissions! We all now that those American SUVs are responsible for global warming and that we need to convert everything to electricity and cancel any other product in order to save the planet.!

You're... making fun of people for not living up to your shallow stereotype. Alrighty, then.

That's a pretty apt description. Thats' why they were so keen to get us onto data rationing before streaming TV hit big. Those annoying overage fees are why AOL hit it really big. Unfortunately it isn't well remembered by the PHBs out there that it's also why everyone fled AOL the moment they could.

Gee, I remember when Linux being available on everything wasn't something to groan about.

Btw those nerdy/geeky peeps you looked up to in your formative years, they didn't pick obscure computers/doodads to look fashionable, they made their choices because it suited their needs. My dad's friend, for example, picked Atari computers over Commodore/Amiga because of their midi support. That's it, it had nothing to do with that ancient playground battle.

Comment Re:Separate components (Score 4, Interesting) 29

I've always believed in using separate components for my home entertainment system to the greatest extent possible, and while not specifically for this particular scenario I still maintain that it makes sense to keep the system modular.

I agree with you. I'd add that 'bundling' in general is a bad idea. For example- A company like Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) would offer you both cable AND internet, and offer a discount for using them both. The problem with that? If your TV service suffers (like ... too many ads, for example) then you're compelled to try to weather it because you won't give up your internet and suddenly that discount is a BFD. My stress level went down a LOT when I split up my TV and internet services, cell services as well.

That said, that's not really the big issue here. Google is sucking up all your data. That is their goal as a corporation. Everything of theirs that you log into is more surface area for a potentially-damaging attack. Did I mention they trust zillions of third parties?
