@scottalanmiller Well if the government owned it entirely, it would give them less barriers to spy on citizens.

We don't want them owning it, just regulating it better.

Wow. Prices are really dropping on SSDs, which is great.

Seems like a biggie, especially since they are saying they won't/can't fix it.

Well now that Google and company are stepping back in to the fight, I don't think it is over yet.

@scottalanmiller Neither is reddit - I think they're all waiting for the standard to be finalized.

You could buy that, sell the parts on Ebay, and come out ahead.

Given that the value of a community is... Community, private groups rapidly undermine that in many ways.

I still respect the hidden rant ability, but the culture in certain groups have become negative. Some people became overly aggressive in some regards, some became annoyed, and like the administration and moderation group, there is a power struggle. Long timers say we do it one way, new people say we do it another. The secrecy became a parasite.

It's a tough balance - people do need to blow off steam if they are acting in a moderator/poweruser capacity, but it can get out of hand. I tried to keep things balanced but it can quickly go south.

The question to present to any new person has to be a vulgar response.

Much like the standard pickup line I use "Nice shoes, wanna [f***]?"

Did...did you just refrain from using the f-word?

looks like not by choice edited by Addie.

Ah, that makes more sense. Balance has been restored to the world

I must concur, the Webroot Anywhere is great. Nic helped me too and I am so happy with it that I think the wife is going to switch over too. It's smooth and fast and so far, totally unobtrusive!
Thanks Webroot and Nic!

You're very welcome!

I'll be the first in line to buy one.

Here's how to change some of the more annoying features:

At least she died happy

They'd never do that because the code base would be embarrassing

How could it get any easier? Just install MAME

Agreed - it isn't going to do a full backup of your machine. But you can backup certain critical components or you can pay for more storage if you want to backup the whole thing. Personally I use BackBlaze for my home backups. $5 per month for unlimited storage per machine.

Wow, interesting times. Looks like SteamOS is getting some traction.

@Nic

I havent tried the Backup and Sync yet. Is 25GB enough space to use this feature?

Depends what you want to sync - and there's the option to purchase more space if you want it. I just use it the way I used to use Dropbox, for stuff I need to access from anywhere.
