Even if you dont have an open WiFi router you now have a "shadow of a doubt" that someone might have been using your IP address when the MAFIAA come after their protection money.

They could make autonomous ones programmed to "game changer" , "paradigm shift" and "synergy", generate pie charts, and hold meetings about the meeting schedule. they could replace lots of managers.

I use a false name on Facebook, and have received plenty of spam which uses that name. i can only conclude that Facebook has given spammers my email address.

rounded squares.

You have my permission to make all the icons square with rounded corners.

I am the owner of "square icon with rounded corners"

Get some of that as real money.

I think i would write a song and put it on itunes and then buy it 1 million times. then i would get some of my money back as real money, and consumers who believe popular = good would also buy it because 1000000 sales would surely get it in the charts.

Old systems go outside, with a note saying what cpu/ram etc is in there and if it works. and most importantly, in big letters "FREE"

sometimes I can get rid of 2 or 3 a day like that,

Scammers

The reason they "can not" stop scammers is because they do not care. No corporations lose money, only a few human resources lose some or all their money.

seagate ate something bad, (maxtor) which seems to have made them kind of ill.

If WD had eaten seagate, I wonder if the poison would have continued to spread.

we could have been left with a choice between Samsung and Hitachi.

Do web sites too!

now they should do the same for web sites, separate apps for separate sites are like fart jokes as well useless and spammy, and there is already an app for that, called a web browser. amazingly it lets you freely move between millions of sites without opening a different app!

Mechanical storage companies.

They will be toast no matter what. now that have the advantage of a very difficult to manufacture machine with specialized processes and manufacturing.

meanwhile just about anyone can buy memory chips and a controller and put them on a circuit board. their advantage will be completely gone.

So light can slow down. maybe light is slowing down the farther it travels, and all astrophysics is wrong!
