Damn, that is a good price at close to $.50 a GB. Still, I wouldn't go with anything as small as a 120GB anymore - it runs out faster than you think.

From the completely obvious department

Looks like someone might pick up the torch on TrueCrypt: https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/business/technology/a/23969633/

@RAM. that shovelknight game does look interesting

@scottalanmiller Not yet, but people who have tell me it is good.

http://www.reddit.com/r/basicincome - what are all the people who no longer have the skills or intelligence to do a job gonna do?

Also if you like Bastion, the same dev company has just release a new game called Transistor.

Looks like the permissions are messed up - that message should only show for you if you try to post in the Tech Marketing group.

It's one of my favorite games of all time.

That is a really cool graphic!

@Dashrender yeah, I like citations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity#Studies

@scottalanmiller yeah, allergies can have a large psychological component. That reminds me of a funny story about my gluten intolerance. Near the beginning, my wife had accused me of it being psychological in nature. We went to a place called the Texas Roadhouse, where I had a steak and veggies. I ended up getting a gluten reaction, and she didn't believe that there could possibly be gluten in those two things I ordered. When we got home I looked it up online and it turns out they use flour in their grill shortening. It was nice to be vindicated in a completely blind accidental experiment

A lot of the research on this has found that it is psychological. When they test these people in a double-blind situation, they allergy goes away. It looks like this century's version of Morgellons.

@RAM. I think that is one of those games I bought but haven't had a chance to play yet

Changing one's name is always a bad sign. Means they did something that they can't recover from, reputation-wise.

@ShaunS Cool, glad that worked.

Yeah, we're trying to take a more holistic approach to security. Whether virus, malware or phishing, we're trying to be the one-stop place for security reputation for processes, IP address and URLs.

Having fun with my Webroot.... I cannot copy/paste in some apps while Webroot is running
Loved how it cleared all my jump lists on install... that was nice! lol
Other than that I don't notice it working, so it gets a good score there...

Yeah, we've had some issues with the keylogger protection being a little overprotective of your clipboard. You should be able to whitelist anything that is being blocked - let me know if you have any problems getting that to work. Glad to hear it is doing well otherwise!

Some towns own their own power and it costs like 10% what fake free market power costs. A village in rural Washington put in fiber to the doorstep at Gb/s a decade ago that was free to everyone. Stuff can be done, but most places sold their rights to do so long ago.

Yep. In the city where I work (not where I live), they own the power company (generate most of it themselves as well). It costs about 40% of what PG&E does (which is what I'm on).

All the free market nutjobs go on about how the market is more efficient, but they don't factor in that they're also going to take a cut that is way bigger than any potential savings. Actually they aren't nutjobs, they know what they are doing, and the rhetoric is just to fool the masses.

Still have 4 months of feedback though. Keep calling, emailing and writing!
