So instead of the websites tracking me, it would just be google that does so. With much more control and detail than ever. And then google will sell that information to those websites for even mroe profit!

I use instant coffee for baking. And I had instant coffee as part of the tea-making facilities in British B&Bs (but I definitely prefer the tea there).

lacking support for the latest Kindle features

What kind of support are they "lacking"? They do contain the text and basic formatting. What else would they need in a book?

I'd guess that those "lacking" features have something to do with user tracking or DRM.

Of course, no backdoor is secure, but among them, there are the just plain bad and the even worse.

If the disks are of the same type, check their serial numbers.

Once I set up a RAID with four 120GB disks. Back then, they were basically close to cutting edge technology as a 16TB drive would be today, and expensive as f-ck. Within a week, two disks failed, bringing the raid down. One failed in the evening, the other in the morning. When I called about warranty, I noticed that all four disks were within +-20 in their serial numbers, and got suspicious. I got the two drives replaced (with different, wide spread serial numbers), set up the RAID again, only to have a fail within less than ten days again - another one of the original set dead. This time I asked not only for a replacement of the next dead one, but also of the fourth, which was declined. I cut my losses and set up a way smaller RAID with only three disks. The fourth is in a drawer somewhere, wit a big red warning sticker.

Both shitty, yes, but an unsecure backdoor is opening the door to every hacker on the planet, not just one group.

Their refusal is rooted in fear that Israel wants to force a permanent expulsion of Palestinians into their countries and nullify Palestinian demands for statehood.

Aaand... They are right.

The insanity of the GOP is clearly demonstrated by the fact that they put Jim Jordan up for vote in the first place.

And spyware for free, and I would not be surprised if they included an insecure backdoor at no extra cost.

If only Facebook would follow that lead. And others, too!

Don't know how you compare torrent to usenet. They were built for completely different purposes. If you abuse usenet for file sharing, don't complain about any shortcomings, as you are trying to drive a screw into a wall with a hammer.
