My battle with the system to control my desktop continues. I have learned that Google controls "devices".
My daughter ensures that I have a spectrum of devices: Nixplay Frame and fitbit Flex.
The Open System Interconnection Reference Model had 7 levels. IBM added an 8th level for User at both ends.
I'm at a library using the Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet. Chrome still wants to be my default browser.
It may be that that is what I want for this device. It is not what I want for my real HP Laptop computer.

Life, Liberty, and Property
CNN's coverage of Charlie Hebdo was poor because of differences in our languages. Wolf Blitzer used reasonable terminology when he said the US is "scouring" our databases for information on the two perpetrators.
Barbara Starr and all other reporters I heard reported that we were "scrubbing" our databases which means that we were trying to get rid of bad data.
My ex-father-in-law is a theist and I learned from him that "Secular Humanism" is the Devil Incarnate even though I didn't know what any of that meant.
The French don't think that highly of any religion. Is there a word for sacrilegious in French?
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary includes only three antonyms for sacred: nonreligious, profane, and secular.
As a Libertarian, I say we should focus on Government's core functions of protecting our Lives, Liberty, and Property.
Government funds should not be expended on protecting "In Your Face Protesters" such as most of the Political Correctness advocates, Al Sharpeton, and radical feminists.
If we can't communicate mundane stuff like looking through our databases, how can we hope to understand important stuff if there is a God?

Scouring vs Scrubbing
Communication is a process described by Parsons and Perry in the 1960s. I will address that some other place or time.
An United States Air Force Colonel gets credit in online command and control literature for the OODA process.
I heard reports yesterday that the FBI was "scrubbing the database" for information on the Charlie Hebdo terrorists.
Scouring their database would mean they are looking at it intensely. Scrubbing a database used to mean purging it of bad data.
Wolf Blitzer used reasonable terminology on the Situation Room yesterday. Barbara Starr and all others I heard did not.
Does the Department of Defense translator for French to English know how to do his/her job?
I can imagine a language specialist not knowing the the implications of translating a request from the French to intensely search our databases.
Inteeroperability is still a problem.
