You know, I wonder what the Pester Threshold is to annoy the beasts
(Google, Apple, MS, Amazon, etc.) enough to get results? It likely has
some correlation with size and number of products.
I think the consumer protection agencies of one flavor or another are

I couldn't hurt to get an article describing their issues published in
Linux Today, if getting their attention was the goal:

We would never say the python script was incompetent.
Would you say IBM Watson/Deep Blue is incompetent at Jeopardy/Chess
after it wipes the floor with the best human players in the world?

No you are right, I was mostly trying to take a dig at Google in the pile on.
But an automated boat wouldn't be completely 'empty' and its failure to
navigate would be grounds for anger (at those damned engineers). So my whole

On 60 minutes last night was (another) piece on robotics. One point

This country needs more automation, and less, er, breeding.

My understanding is, the problem is with the 1.7 version plugin for the
browsers. Standalone JRE is ok. OTOH, many folks have trouble with
the disable java buttons or aren't clear on the distinction between the
plugin and the runtime, so they're getting advice to uninstall it
completely.

So I'm thinking: any of us using Dropbox big time .. i.e. backing up a

I got Dropbox mainly for collaboration (sharing datasets and R files), and
now I use it as the central storage location for all my photos - they go
straight from the card (which is then cleared to make room) to Dropbox
through it's automatic transfer function. I have had no problems, although
