Well, this is the age of reboots, remakes and sequels. I guess it's time for Cold War II. (Apparently there is actually a new movie by that name...)

No, it was about the comparison of losing the "free" game to burning down a village, which, incidentally, was a reference to the MTG card "Reparations".

The only place I see 3.7GHz is in the linked chart from OpenBenchmarking.org, where it has the same description for every other benchmark for that processor.

"They found, perhaps surprisingly, that over 90% of users are fine with somebody snooping their encrypted traffic, so long as they were informed of the snooping."

Of course they are; they will just watch what they say. The point of spying on someone is to catch them saying something they are not supposed to say. I am not saying I agree with snooping, just that telling someone "hey, we are watching your data" basically makes the activity pointless.

Well according to several articles I have seen like this one http://www.clickorlando.com/ne..., they are considered the best shots of any federal agency. So if what you say is true, then everyone else must be complete crap.

Yes, but they are highly trained to work in close quarters.

It says that they will be floating at 1000ft. I believe you can deploy a parachute down to a couple hundred feet.

Unlike the mannequins you typically see in department store displays, manikins are the anatomical models that are used for education and research.

Actually, it was a joke and reference to a line from Catch-22, but thanks for the response.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

People seem to keep defaulting to Comcast or providing an example of where servers are allowed at home. My original post was a general statement because some ISPs allow them where many others don't. I have run servers many times from home for different purposes on different providers, but I have never had enough traffic to cause an issue (like test web servers and friends-only game servers). If I expected to use enough bandwidth to be noticed, I would either find a shell host or consider a business package. Even if my ISP allowed home servers, I certainly wouldn't want to run a crappy server by hosting it on a basic home package.

Also keep in mind that many ISPs frown on running home servers. If the server gets popular it could be a problem for the provider.

Actually, the example in the article is about a girl that had a common name that was returning search results that were not about her.

"From the article: "Samantha Grossman wasn't always thrilled with the impression that emerged when people Googled her name. 'It wasn't anything too horrible,' she said. 'I just have a common name. There would be pictures, college partying pictures, that weren't of me, things I wouldn't want associated with me.'"
