I will never buy an extended warranty on a computer because I buy a new computer every single year.

@happinessiseasy: I'm not sure it's a "large" number of people, however, there is no reason they can't program without advertising for every cable and satellite subscriber. #tv

I ignore and/or skip any advertising, propaganda, and attempted corporate brainwashing designed to turn the human race into retail consuming sheep. Especially given the fact that I am paying a significant amount of money for the "privilege" of watching TV in my home, I feel I should not be subjected and forced to…

@Red_Flag: I admit to the binary supposition as too vague a generalization, although I feel the home application of that is valid considering, the level of expertise required to effect any real network privacy on a shared system or other variation assumes that the subject has also not left himself open to such…

@Red_Flag: Separate accounts? #windows

@Raz Fandango: The ultimate level of cloaking is of course to use someone else's computers, on someone else's connections, without their knowledge, and preferably not someone you know in any way. This is tricky and involves lots of law breaking, but done properly will shield you entirely from any consequences of your…

@Raz Fandango: The ISP will still have logs. #windows

A couple of thoughts come immediately to mind here...

@NorwoodIsMyHero: That is a calculated risk that the CCs assume based on the numbers of probability. The reality is, it's in their best interests to offer "cash back" and "rewards" to as many of their customers (victims) as possible, (carrot on a stick), because the numbers of probability dictate that the majority of…

Wouldn't the heat buildup inside a bottle create a problem in very short order? #homeservers

@czarandy: "Lenders don't *have* to lend money, you know."

@craigkay: It should be noted that a full credit report is far more useful to a person than the arbitrary FICO score. #credit

The CC Companies are becoming very nervous and a little bit desperate. If you miss a payment, they will begin calling within days to try and get you back on track and keep the money flowing in their direction. In the past, they simply tacked on a late fee and waited. No so any more. Now they will even go so far as to…

This seems like a lot of time spent needlessly on a non-issue.

@sweetmonkey: Does your spouse know all the details of every relationship you've ever been in? ALL of the details? Do you repeat conversations you've had with your friends back to your spouse, in full? ALL of them? Have you EVER purchased something that your spouse isn't aware of? Any photos or personal keepsakes…

@RobinSure: Plenty to worry about. No one can predict the future. What if some time down the road, someone decides they really really don't like you. Enough to make life miserable for you. For whatever reason, real or imagined.

@mgpcoe: I completely disagree.

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: Keeping a log of posts by "DiscoZombie" is fine by me. It doesn't attach to me personally.
