" email will do the job nicely."
On the other hand, ever since I got my first email address, at college a couple decades ago, I have taken for granted that whoever controlled the mail server could read my mail.
Some people are problably expecting me write about the crypto I use, but really, I simply don't email anything I wouldn't want people to read.
If I had a facebook acount I would do the same.
What is this bullsh*t, Google? Nexus phones starved of security fixes after just three years
I am shocked, shocked!
Really guys, this policy has been know for years now, and you are acting all shocked about it?
Really? They kind of people that read the Register didn't know about this? Really?
The same kind of people don't know that apps like Chrome, who do the actual talking to the internet, still get updates after that period?
Dudes, you are funny, hilarious even.

How Rogue One's Imperial stormtroopers SAVED Star Wars and restored order
I have to say I was terribly disappointed watching the film.
For some reason I thought it was going to be great, I went to the theater expecting to love it.
This is the first time a Star Wars movie has bored me, the ewoks, Jar Jar, the wretched Lucas dialogue may have been eye rolling, but not boring.
Yes, there were times where X-Wings made me smile and the like but really by the time the final battle started I was hoping for all the characters to die so they wouldn't be in another movie.
Like in the first scene, the parents talk about the plan they had, I don't even want to think about what they would have done if they had had to improvise.
And really, what was the Asian character about? It looked to me they piled all the Asian character cliches they could find into him, he felt like a parody of a parody. He and his sidekick were worse than the ewoks and I can hardly believe I am writing that.
And usually I root for comic relief characters but, except for the droid, I found most of the jokes eye rolling.

People usually forget that it was the B-Ark passengers that survived while everyone else died.
And they died precisely because the B-Ark people weren't there doing their jobs, phone sanitizing of all things.
I don't know if Adams intended it, but it looks to me that it was a joke on people who think of others as their inferiors.

My nan went the same way and it is truly painful.
If it's any consolation the average 'healthy' life expectancy keeps improving and they recently announced that a new drug is able to dissolve the protein plaques that destroy the neuron in Alzheimers.
So, medical research does work, even when founded by millionaires, Rockerfeller for example funded the eradication of the hookworm.
Re: Yet another rich asshole's vanity project
Yes, yes, last year we had the first case of Diphtheria in Spain in thirty years because the parents of the child agreed with you.
The kid died, but I am certain the parents will take a lot consolation in your ADR figures, besides thanks to them the evil companies making the vaccines made less money. If that is not worth seeing your child die I don't know what could.
Meanwhile some of the kids that were with him in summer camp tested positive for the bacteria, but since their parents aren't complete morons and vaccinated them, those kids are alive and well.
Latest Intel, AMD chips will only run Windows 10 ... and Linux, BSD, OS X
Re: @fandom
"The typical 386 system did not have enough RAM to properly run Linux."
Not at all since Linux was first developed to run in 386 chips.
Actually the announcement for the first public release said:
"It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have "
Which is kind of funny in hindsight.
