Let's not forget all the gun running for Mexican cartels

>>> The only difference between business and government is that the public control government and private individuals control business

Seriously? News flash - the public does NOT control government. Bureaucrats control government and it doesn't really matter who gets elected as long as the career bureaucrats continue to make and enforce policy. What they will has the best shot of becoming reality...at least the ones who have an agenda, and aren't merely marking time.

Hah! I've got you beat by a mile. I pay $104 per month for 7mbps service.

I win. Lucky me.

I really like GOG, appreciate what they're doing, and have spent hundreds of dollars at their site. That said however, what they do to the games' graphics has totally ruined my enjoyment of a bunch of those much-loved games. The visual effects become truly cringe worthy, and I don't understand WHY these changes occur. I can have the original game and the GOG release playing on the same machine and the graphics on the GOG release looks like its been converted to 240x320 resolution while the original is, well, original.

You're taking this all way too seriously.

Did anybody see this part?

>> These sonic cannons are already in use in the western Gulf of Mexico, off Alaska and other offshore oil operations around the world.

The damage is already being done, we've just decided to expand the scope to include those waters between the East Coast and Europe.

>> we are not only the most intelligent life on earth (for some values of intelligence), but as far as we can tell, the most intelligent life to have ever developed on earth.

Eh, I have my doubts about being a member of the most intelligent life to have ever developed on earth. What's fairly certain however is that we've been outstanding at decimating other species without killing ourselves in the process.

>>Amazon wants authors to price their ebooks at $0.99, so many do, and these are the ones that are sold

Its not AMAZON that wants authors to price their ebooks at $.99 - its Amazon's CUSTOMERS who want that.

Take me for example. I'll take a $.99 flyer on an unknown author with an intriguing plot summary. My current modus operandi is to buy books from 5-10 authors at a time, take my time enjoying the ones that are actually readable, and then come back for more. If I was paying more than $3 a book, I'd be considerably more careful regarding what and how often I was buying. Also, getting burnt by too great a percentage of not-ready-for-primetime authors would, without a doubt, stifle this habit, dim my general regard for Amazon, and probably send me back to browsing inventory in book stores.

Yes, and free me, too! I'd love a "basic income" that lets me spend all my time playing games, reading sci-fi/fantasy, and hanging with friends.

Oh hey, lets blame this on Global Warming, um, I mean Climate Change. Oh wait, I know, lets call it Earth Changes. Yeah, that covers it.

Its all our fault that there's a volcano melting the ice sheet. We have just too many people on this earth now. Its squishing down the world's insides and making magma pop out of the bottom.

I've been using them for years, and I love it so much that I subscribe to their premium service, even though I don't have a use for it, to provide support for them...their basic service is free.

It autofills my username and password on any machine where I have the app installed. If I don't have the app installed but need to get to my username/passwords, they have an online vault I can log on to.

And searching is easy - I can search by username or site or keyword in description. They auto-filter my passwords as I type into the search box.

>> Asks reader k280: "What alternative tools are available for free, and how do they compare to LogMeIn?" Okay, so its not free, but its a one time $50 per server install and is full of awesome goodness.... radmin http://www.radmin.com/

I remember - I was sitting in Harry's Chocolate Shop, having a beer, and watching the launch on the telly with a couple of friends.
