Caution: This Hospital Uses Microsoft Windows 98

Then why not tax us all at %100 and free house, food, health care, car, energy (gas & electric), bandwidth (Internet and TV)...

(disclaimer: This point of view not the poster's but is espoused to make a point)

You probably forget the things you don't need, and forget that you actually knew them. It's not a first-in-first-out, but governed by use counts. Use it a lot, keep it. Don't use it much, forget it - room for the next thing.

So, what is your definition of "The Cloud"? I have seen several kinds of things refered to as the cloud. Things like other people's storage like Dropbox or flickr. Things like other people's cycles like Google Docs. Things like that vertical market application you run in a web browser (like the ticket tracking software where I work).

You are not in the SUDOERS file. This will be reported.

You also make use of context hints. "raed" is taken as read because of the words that surround it.

I wonder if the specific parameters used to identify a card (note not a user or a machine...) can change as the card ages, as it wears. Heat/Cold cycles, failing bits in memory, changes / updates in drives, malware infecting drivers or firmware... (that last would be -real- fun... suddenly you are not you.)

Your obviously brilliant point is lost on the rest of us who don't read your language. What did you say?

It's not the innocent places you go in your day to day travels. It is the places the over imaginative detective thinks you are going. You know how sometimes people think they see Jesus in a slice of toast? Well your travels taken in total may just look like crime to that faceless public servant.

I doubt if you could get a restraining order against the police force.

There is the story of the major supermarket chain that sent someone over to the competitors to record license plates. Then used the information to send out extra coupon flyers.

Screensavers are run by the OS not by the user.

Dropbox client (and that ilk) are also a service that gets run by the OS. Put a new item in the control panel to setup what gets synced.

Your browser hides - it's documents are web-links.

Your email hides, its documents are emails. They just appear in the inbox folder, you can move them to other folders, to send an email - double click the "Untitled Email" document in the store.

Things like 7zip work on document by left clicking the document.

Printing can be done this way as well, it actually just opens the handling application but it also autoloads the document, triggers a standard print, then closes the document and quits the application
