that yellow space has pretty much all the empty space all the way into minnesota. it's all big rocks, missile silos, and prairie dogs.

that 1pm commitment is going to get extended, maybe a break 'for lunch' at 5-530pm, but pick right up again at 630p, and be an 'all nighter'.

there's enough ways around charges of 'discriminating' based on the disallowed criteria of household income or race, that it will still be 'business as usual' for providers. they'll use other excuses, such as differences in local market (competition) and population/customer density, or the 'extreme' costs of upgrading aging infrastructure in previously-"avoided" areas, which would be 'allowed'.

frequency of 'spam' calls should have significant gone down with the implementation of cid verification (stir/shaken). it has on all our lines; home and office--cellular and pots.

at €300 per 2tb? that's like 10x the current cost of storage. sounds like a reasonable price to provide what is really just a modest quota, indefinitely, so long as there isn't a wave of 'fires' across southeast asia that puts every hdd and most nand facilities out of commission and storage costs skyrocket to prices never before seen.

there's nothing stopping the company from discontinuing the sale of new 'lifetime' plans should there ever be a concern about the 'costs' to serve those who already have it. as it is now, they have a fairly high price on a very modest amount of space, and it appears to me that they're covering their ass here wrt future servicing costs.

via Ubuntu Pro, which is free for up to five personal devices and paid for all other use cases

we know how that turned out.

debian's repo is massive. there are holes here and there from time-to-time as is likely the case in any distro--paid updates or not.

do they also lock their sources behind a subscriber agreement that prohibits redistribution of source like ibm's redhat has done?

canonical has already crossed that 'slightly sketchy' line.

what you're doing is perfectly fine. if it's what your comfortable with, there's no 'need' to change.

only once have i seen the crash reporter in windows actually do something beneficial and report back an actual fix.

If you love piracy you should consider voting/joining your local Pirate Party (pp-international.net)

From wikipedia: “Pirate Party is a label adopted by political parties around the world. Pirate parties support civil rights, direct democracy (including e-democracy) or alternatively participation in government, reform of copyright and patent laws to make them more flexible and open to encourage innovation and creativity, use...

better to support via votes, funding, spreading-the-word, and volunteer efforts, than to label oneself a 'pirate' (or anything, really) on voter registrations, which are public data here. i'll stick with "independent" on that form, tyvm.

maybe if you ran systemd you wouldn't have to boot up so often that actual boot times mattered that much.
