[quote who="Island Dog" reply="14" id="3625915"] Quoting cardinalsyn_25, reply 12 I have another question.. how come the windowblinds 10 upgrade is not showing up on my account, with all the other software purchases? Which version of WB do you currently have? When was it purchased?

[quote who="psychoak" reply="23" id="3625687"] The barrier on listening to everyone 24/7 is that it's a colossal waste of bandwidth and monitoring resources, never mind that it's illegal. The cost probably far outweighs any monetary pick me up they'd get from selling whatever information they managed to glean before someone discovered the invasion and the company went bankrupt from the resulting class action lawsuit while the executives all went to prison. &n

The world is not black and white. To consider Apple the "good' vs. the NSA and other agencies is to have blinders on. Apple is not altruistic, nor some white knight variant. It exist solely to benefit it';s shareholders, and would crush you under it's heel if you stood in it's way, as would any diligent organization who's sole objective is profit. Despite the popular opinion on this board, corporations are not the savior of mankind, truth, justice and the A

In the last version update, it seemed like they befed-up magic resistance on a lot of monsters, making it almost impossible to hypnotize them. Kind of took the fun out of playing the mage.

Brad's post let the cat out of the bag. The true purpose of this thread is about the ability to hide firearm transactions *when* guns become illegal and the government comes to take them away. Stop trying to pretend it's about a blanket/all encompassing concern for privacy in general, and just start another gun debate.

No Virginia, there is no intentional discrimination against you... "It is this pursuit, of what Claudia Goldin calls “temporal flexibility,” that Goldin sees as perhaps the most powerful explanation for the gender pay gap. As she told us, it doesn’t seem as though outright discrimination or differences in competitive drive or bargaining ability can account for much of the difference. But that need, or desire, for flexibility in the workplace leads to a

Seriously, with all this talk about the how the government is out to get you, take away your rights, privacy and guns, etc...the question I asked earlier in this thread remains. Why are you still here? Certainly there must be other countries around the world that have politics and policies more to your liking?

[quote who="psychoak" reply="92" id="3621449"] Unless you're a 90 pound woman that shoots a 200 pound man, that just isn't the case. In the last few years, there have been incidents where people had the absolute crap beat out of them before they managed to shoot attackers who were known criminals with a history of violence, and were then put on trial for it anyway. The most famous being the Trayvon Martin case. A poor 17 year old kid, a kid that was ripped from

[quote who="psychoak" reply="84" id="3621420"] It's also not my fault if someone makes me kill them. It's theirs.

BOTH major U.S. parties are unresponsive to the needs of the people (unless you count corporations as a person). Why, because in any given election, they have a 50% chance of being elected.
