The idea that one should be forced to verify one's age or identity to use one's own computer absolutely baffles me.
@neil I do worry that we're seeing the beginning of the end of personal computing, in the sense of being able to own a machine that you control and that does your bidding.
@hedders @neil I have always considered my computers to be more like cats. They never do my bidding and will often do the exact opposite of what I want before vomiting everywhere. But at least they are independent.
@dan Hah! That made me laugh.
