In other words, you lied in your previous post. You aren't actually willing to switch operating systems. You also, apparently, didn't read any of the links I included. Your logic is basically irrational and exactly as described in all of them. You're willing to accept any future abuse from Microsoft because in the past you spent some unknown amount of money on Windows software? Good luck with that. You need to accept that money you've already spent doesn't always determine the best path forward. Situations change and past decisions may need to be re-evaluated.

This is known as the Sunk Cost Fallacy. (Hint: That money is already gone.)

Storing the decryption key on a RAM disk would probably work. Power goes out and everything on that disk goes *poof*. No more decryption key.

Not true. With the Nexus 5 you can go back.

You just need to manually flash the OS.

You say that like they can't both be true.

Not anymore.

Especially if it's dull.

Agreed, anyone who claims we, humanity, survived contact in Childhood's End needs to read the book again. Humanity was at best absorbed. Anyone who accepted the offer was human in appearance only as a personal preference. (And the ability to choose is basically a lie. No matter how often you chose "No" the offer was always there. The sphere wasn't leaving until there were no more humans to accept.)

For anyone who might be wondering why the buckles are missing, there is an old trick that uses a belt buckle to break certain types of handcuffs.

I disagree. Google seems to be most interested in disrupting the stagnant pricing and services provided by incumbents. Setting up where the incumbents are not, while irritating, won't force them to fight to keep their existing customer base.

Because the laws that should protect against such things are written by politicians. Is everything understood now?

It means you will never be hired by your former employer again, no matter how qualified or perfect you are for a job they need to fill. It has nothing to do with other employers. It is strictly internal to the original company.

This is why many businesses will not let you use their phones to make/receive personal calls.

I recall seeing a gzip archive that that was specifically crafted to extract itself. Basically so a virus scanner would recursively extract the same file. It was intended to function similarly to a fork bomb if I recall correctly. (That was a long time ago though, and such an attack would no longer be functional. Virus scanners have wised up to such tactics.)

And as the GGP stated there are the wonderful zip bombs such as 42.zip. But 100 GB? Ha! Try 4.5 petabytes of useless garbage.

Yeah, I remember when I got my Nintendo as well... Cut my finger on the edge of the box when I opened it. Bled like crazy. Didn't care at the time, but the funny thing is I don't remember the games or the year. I remember the cut though, damn that hurt.
