• I'm not the one who thinks the right to privacy is paranoia, you are.
• I'm not the one getting data-mined, you are.
• I'm not the one with an OS that has a mind of it's own creators, you are.

No, I'm the one that isn't going to accept the invasions that may or may not,(Probably not) come, by not USING those things.  No info in this machine, and I keep it that way.  If they want to know which groups I visit, I hope they have some interest in something besides a computer. If I'm getting data mined, would you be so kind as to tell me what they're mining that I should be paranoid about?

Good luck to hackers getting into my cell phone, when it doesn't exist, and won't.  Most useless thing ever developed, bar none.

IF they want my browsing history, I hope they find RIngebuRC interesting, it's good humor.  RCGroups or RCUniverse,likewise.  Groups and everything I post is there anyhow.  Meant to be read, they're not closed forums. 

You're complaining about windows, excessively, but if you don't use it, why in hell do you care if someone else does?  Complaining about flash, then don't allow the updates, nothing says you have to. 

OH!  I know!  It's my computerized radio control systems they can hack into! Not.  First because I don't use them, second because it's a 4.2 ghz frequency hopping system, good luck when the frequency changes every tenth of a second, and their equipment doesn't know where it's going to jump next.  Only if you want to believe that can happen, but even with me having a thousand dollars riding on that signal being stable, I'm not going to worry about it.  IF I wipe out a plane, the better chances are I did what's known as a Dumb Thumbs, not because someone hacked into my system.  If you don't want the updates, then don't let them install.  No problem.

I get very bored with the technofreaks telling me I can't successfully fly a model with the system I've used for thirty years, and of the geeks saying ONLY one OS is worthy.  The freaks and the geeks are in the same boat, and they're still wrong.
