>> The problem with politicians (in places where they are democratically elected) is that they are concerned only with short term solutions because they are only concerned with getting re-elected and scoring political points.

You are very naive. There are ppl with enormous amounts of money and power behind the TV politicians. And those ppl have long term plans how to increase their power and money.

I wouldn't myself. I usually buy a new laptop every year. While I'm not a fan of big evil corps, the thing is HP and Dell top models are very often offered at 30-40% discount.

Plus I'm not a fan of nVidia video cards. I believe the quality of their picture is way inferior to AMD and Matrox.

No, she got the proper punishment for stealing from the corporate masters of US. She'll be trapped by the prison industry for the rest of her life.

EDIT: OK, my bad. But Australia is run by the same ppl in the same way. NWO and the world government are around the corner anyway :D

Lows and rules don't apply to mega-corps like Sony, Amazon, Ebay/PayPal, Google, Apple, etc. They all have no problem storing all this together with address, SSN and everything else.

>> With 4.0, C# and the platform has really matured from its origins as a Java clone

So LINQ, proper generics, indexers, first class properties, delegates, events, using blocks, lambdas ... were cloned from Java?

5 SSDs here, got the oldest 2.5 years ago. No failures so far. I've run them as system drives, DB storage and so on.

I'd think a reason for quick wear out may be swap memory. I've never put a swap file/partition on mine.

How would you react if you find the builder of your home has installed hidden cameras in every single room? If you somehow find about it and call him he'll turn them off. No big deal, right? If you're a proper person you have nothing to hide anyway ...

That is a bad news. If the movie industry succeeds in getting rid of privacy, the prices of Netflix subscriptions, BR disks, movie tickets, etc. will go way way up ... And those money won't go anywhere near the artists and other content producers. Plus ppl will be unable to use free software like Linux and Firefox to watch movies.

>> Bitcoin doesn't remove banks

Yes, it does in this case. One can receive money electronically through Bitcoin, without account with a bank, PayPal or Google.

I'd just keep talking with immigration layers, until someone gives me a way out.

>> Aim for C-style abstractions in Python.

Worst programming advice ever IMHO. As Sir Isaac Newton used to say: "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants." If you think and program in simple abstractions, you'll be unable to solve complex problems.
