@DemosDemon: Hey, I see software piracy for school/educational purposes as falling under my personal "Fair Use" doctrine.

@JesusDeSaad: Mm, interesting. I've never seen that before. Mind mentioning which stores where this happened?

@davidswenson:

Perhaps I'm a dummy for using BlackVPN, but I never expected a whole lot from them to begin with, so when I paid them money and I actually got a name/pass in my inbox, they automatically got my vote.

Pretty sure I can barely process one instruction per *minute*. Particularly when the instruction comes from my wife.

@Master_Soda: I'm sure we will. I think all that computer power, while amazing, is still worthless unless there is a conscious/subconscious thought process behind it. That's what makes the mind special and amazing. I'm not even sure we can give silicon a "soul"—no matter how powerful a machine it is.

Bullshit. I saw all of these last time I was on New Caprica.

@gronne: It's only $130-150 for an easy 1 TB RAID 1. 1 TB of storage with Mozy costs what? It's really not expensive.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I make decent money, stay AWAY from the cracks, and yet, amazingly, no loose hotties banging down my door.

Well, I will tell you my story and why I'm grateful I had the insurance.

LastPass: in the business of securing passwords. Their very existence depends on it.

With the FCC basically giving the thumb's up to a-holes like Comcast and tiered data, $150,000 doesn't seem so expensive anymore.

@KamWrex: I think they (Rovio) went the ad-supported route a) to keep everyone happy if their phone wasn't supported because of custom ROMs or outdated hardware and b) because by making it ad-supported, you get ad revenue in countries where the Android market isn't available.

So, all tickets purchased through Orlando are sans security fees?

Permenently delete your Facebook. Learn to live without it.

Yeah, I wish I could have taken my dog to the airport for her xrays. Would have saved me $400.
