That data is never truly deleted, not for a while at least.

I suppose it has benefit now with Android, and multiple devices, but Google, and Youtube both started saving searches long before the release of Chrome.

Quite terrible.

I don't know about you, but it helps put my overly large ego in check.

I especially like the read of Technician vs Performer. It truly unlocked something: it helps me rekindle the passion I had when I first started.

Anyone remember HTA? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692768.aspx

It seems oddly familiar, don't you think?

Thinks change so much!

Re:I hate telephones on Saturday November 11, 2017 @03:45PM (#15678088)
I agree. I loathe telephones, I also dislike speaking in public, and to people. None the less, I find the inflection, tone, rate of speech all add to meaningful communication. I hate my own voice, so I dislike speaking, but if I find comfort with whom I am speaking, I find it pleasurable, and perhaps more informative than else. It is the human level of it.

Really? They are debateably the most efficient way to heat a home up here. Not only is chopping wood great stress reduction, the cracking fire soothes the soul during long winter months. I suppose your view of practicality is different. It regularly drops to -30F here, I love my roaring fires.
Re:Do you need a VPN? on Monday October 30, 2017 @03:27PM (#15588105)
Would they not be able to tie the location to the account? If, say, they register as a US user, an ip change from US, to France caused by VPN would leave little issue.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Re:Writing a Bootloader on Friday October 20, 2017 @06:48AM (#15514791)
I've always been told that there is risk of irreversible hardware damage. I haven't any idea where this claim comes from, and I've never been offered an explanation. It's one of the things that has always made me wonder, and why I've never tested any of my own code on real hardware. I'd be curious to see this claim expanded, or debased.

Would that not simply be your specific allotted disk space, and bandwidth?
