The data stored on my local system does not have to go through the Internet before it's stored or retrieved. Every time you access your cloud data, it passes through multiple servers which you have no control over. The hacker may not have to get to your data... it may come to him.

They keep using this word "robot". I think it does not mean what they think it means. It seems to be, at best, a sort of hydraulic/pneumatic marionette. If its pneumatic cricket conscience can help it wish upon a star, perhaps the Blue Fairy will turn it into a real robot.

So when you want to put up a new website, you start the server and wait three days before the search engine crawls it... oh, wait, you'll need to link to it from another page and wait three days for the search engine to crawl that page... Ignore that problem for now. Assume that all the search engines will accept requests to immediately crawl your IP address. Your website is really generic at this point (ipse lorem and all that) so it's on the 10,000,000 page of any search term you can think of. Really hard to test. So what do you do? You somehow create a unique identifier and have the search engine crawl the site again. Now it's on top of the search! Are you feeling lucky? Of course you are, you've just invented DNS!

This is also true in the US. Not only does the price include all the services of the audiologist (the initial fitting, the setup, any number of adjustments), you can give it back to the audiologist within 30 days and not pay a thing even though the device can't be sold to someone else, i.e. the manufacturer has to eat the cost of any devices that the consumer doesn't like on a whim not just defective ones.

If pro gamers are boring because they're just like us ("you could do just as well as the elite players" with enough practice), then pro athletes are fascinating because they are some kind of genetic freaks?
