I know someone so willfully ignorant won't read any of those links, so the short answer is that the NSA can and does listen in to your calls on the phone, on skype, and with this new routing, they will be able to listen in on Facetime as well, in spite of Apple's self serving denials.
Remember that Apple is not above outright bold faced lies to the press./

And, btw, is good to have backup of what newspapers said before media control, like when was disclosed that U.S. backed plan to launch chemical weapon attack on Syria and blame it on Assad's regime [archive.org].

That Daily Mail story is the result of email forgery, as the Mail admits. I trust you won't quote it again?

Iraq did have and use chemical weapons in the past. They were caught repeatedly cheating on the inspections after the 1991 Gulf War. The only reason that they didn't have them in 2003 was because they secretly disposed of them previously after they had been successful in keeping them hidden from previous inspections. The Iraqi government continued to act as if it still had chemical weapons but was hiding them to fool Iran.

The US put an end to Saddam's mass murder of Iraqis, and diverting money designated for food and medicine to build palaces, buy weapons, and bribe influential politicians and UN representatives. A democratic Iraqi government is now making decisions for Iraq, and they at least have a chance at building a decent country that they wouldn't have if Saddam or his sons were still in power. The cost of that transition was less than the long term average of Saddam's butchery.

I watched the video. It said: No unarmed people were hurt during shooting. One of the marines made reference to having been shot at by a sniper.

No because apple is quickly becoming the gatekeeper of what our kids can see and learn.

It could be worse:

Well, with their marketshare falling like a rock (Achievement unlocked: Apple Fanboy hate. -5 Karma, +5 reputation) they gotta do something -- Android is now passing 70% and continuing to climb while Apple dropped to about 15% and has been losing about 1% a month on average for the past two quarters (Achievement unlocked: Use of facts on the internet. +2 karma, -1 reputation). Of course, only on slashdot would the phrase "up to" cause people to cream their pants with excitement that the great and noble Apple (Achievement unlocked: Sarcasm! -1 karma, +7 reputation to shop owners in town GenX) was going to give them 'free' upgrades. It'll be just like going to a used car dealer and getting a "great deal" on your trade-in -- they give you x amount of dollars now, knowing that the buy-in (aka your loan APR) will offset it by x plus a percentage, so they can afford to be generous... just keep paying the monthly 'rental' fee (Achivement unlocked: Car analogy! +2 karma, +1 reputation).

• Skype helped the NSA collect video and audio of conversations conducted via Skype
• Skype accesses more files on your computer than you'd expect it to
• Skype helps China's government spy

All of those are incredibly valuable. The CIA alone spends $11.5 billion on Data Collection Expenses each year. And of all organizations, Skype is one of the most able to provide information to them - whatever your PC's microphone's hearing now - whatever non-skype-related files Skype keeps accessing even though it has no need to - etc.

The correct answer is that it is a forgery. So you shouldn't believe it at all.

Britam Defence, David Goulding and Philip Doughty

An article on 29 January reported allegations on the internet that the US Government had backed a plot to launch a chemicals weapons attack in Syria and blame it on the Assad regime. ... We now accept that email was fabricated and acknowledge there is no truth in any suggestion that Britam or its directors were willing to consider taking part in such a plot, which may have led to an atrocity.
We apologise to each of them and have agreed to pay substantial damages.

I believe you are referring to this. It was fabricated.

Putting your money on a "false flag" for something this cheesy is, quite frankly, a stupid bet.

The hospital was in an urban area , I wasn't. in fact if i had called an ambulance the earliest they would get out to where i was living was 20 minutes and pretty close to the same to reach the hospital.

secondly it was chest pains and i figured i needed an ecg so where else to get one but the hospital i'd been in before.
Thirdly mostly driving was not a problem the problem was there was no car park at the hospital so i parked in the nearest public car park.
Fourthly the reason it got hard was because I had to walk which is why i was getting chest pains on the final stage. Technically it was angina although it was a pretty major restriction.

The way a heart attack works is first a clot forms in a coronary artery. then because there is no blood flow the heart muscle is starved of blood. If that restriction can be cleared within 20 - 30 minutes and blood flow restored the heart should not be damaged. after that 30 minute window the heart muscle begins to die. At this point it depends where the blockage is as to how long before your heart is unable to beat and pump blood around your body at this point you are in serious trouble and you lose your blood flow and if your heart isnt restarted you die. But that could be hours after the initial clot.

In actual fact it was severe angina I was feeling not a heart attack but with the amount of restriction I was pretty darn close to having a heart attack but so far its still 1 and one near miss. Funny thing was the heart attack i had 3 months prior didnt hurt i just felt out of breath. Actually the really funny thing was the day i was in hospital getting my 2nd stent was the day i was due to start a heart rehabilitation course. About 4 days previous i had been on a treadmill, had an ultrasound, and been passed as fit enough to do the course.

It kind of helps to learn a bit about heart attacks once you have had one. It helped me recognise when my friend Joseph had one and i got him to his GP not that far and the GP was able to treat him till the ambulance took him up to the city. Joseph nearly died had to wait for two weeks before he was fit enough to have a triple bypass and a pace maker fitted. Silly old sod wanted to wait till the afternoon for a scheduled appointment with the GP. He's okay these days but I think if I hadn't pushed him to get to the GP he would be dead.

One last thing since a heart attack is a blood clot, you might do worse than chew a couple of aspirin as it thins your blood and might just get the blood flowing again.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1253024/Why-man-carry-giant-chewy-aspirin.html

Hopefully that will do as an initial reference for that. I actually had plavix at home and I could have taken that my dose at the time was 75mg (at the hospital they gave me 300mg to help stabilize me).
Still prescribed aspirin today and to the end of my life apparently but its only 75mg (over the counter aspirin is a lot stronger).

Also while in theory ambulances are available they are in relatively short supply, to make matters worse ambulance crews spend far too much time waiting at hospitals to get their trolleys back. A&E departments are underfunded and it can take a while to find a bed or a trolley to free up the ambulance cart.

Journalists: this is trolling! What you are currently calling "trolling" is simply abuse and harrassment.

Are you really trying to claim that you must trust that the Government is "good" and "innocent" when proof is absent? Do you know how many people were called "crazy conspiracy theorists" that were warning people about the Government trying to entrap MLK? Then we read about COINTELPRO and Operation Mocking Bird later, and find out they were correct. Do you know how many people said that the Government was poisoning people in St. Louis and were called "Crazy Conspiracy Nuts" just to find out later the US Government was dumping radioactive isotopes on them? NOTE: I'm not bothering to provide links to COINTELPRO, it's too easy to find.

Those are two very easy examples out of thousands! If you read what architects and engineers ask about 9/11 you will find many very high quality questions.

I agree that counting Google hits is not a way to measure the truth, but if you actually read some of the content you should be questioning what people tell you.

The Daily Mail is a tabloid, and the government was not researching health effects, it was testing for the dispersion of the material which was selected because it was easily detectable. Maybe radium was involved, maybe not, but bear in mind this is from the time we had factory workers putting radium on as lipstick.
Notice none of the people involved in the project are wearing masks in the pictures... The intent of the research was entirely mundane, period.

That's not true at all. We don't hear about it because a government body was set up under the last government with the remit to hide failures and prevent them coming to light, under the euphemism Care Quality Commission. The Commission has two jobs, (1) to cover up its own failings and (2) to cover up its own failings. It also occasionally provides cursory inspections of hospitals, failing to publish the truth about poor practice at any available opportunity.

The only reason we're hearing about it now is because of some very brave relatives. Also remember that UK FOI is much weaker than US FOI.

The set of facts you prefer, anyhow.

Prior to 1991 there isn't a lot of credible data about the preferences of citizens in communist nations. That was by design. Immediately after, however, there is. Then we learn that women were consistently less enthusiastic about abandoning their failed economic order and state paternalism. All I assert is that women are more prone to statism. The data supports this.

Anecdotally, Nostalgia for Communism among women is widespread.

misogynist

Any view of women that fails to flatter is automatic misogyny, as per your training.

Exactly as I said: "If I have to worry about a war is because a possible reaction of the people of the worse off countries". But there are many pacific options. One is to default on debt. Another one is to get out of the Euro and devalue, which is close to defaulting but not as radical. Anything is better than a war.
By the way, the German WWI debt has been totally paid off only recenty.

First: thanks for putting effort in your answer.

One last little point, I think such studies are often overstated but not necessarily deliberately so--rather, with the genuine belief that the assumptions and generalizations being made are valid.

Yeah, probably at least in part. For the record, though: I was referring to how PR departments and the media in general spin pretty much every nutritional study into what amount to either flat out lies or terribly misleading statements. Using 'X linked to Y' in the headline leads most people away from the commutative nature of the relation, but I guess headlines like 'X and Y associated with each other' sell less ads.

@1a:
The thing with preservatives is that we've actually evolved quite strikingly to like their taste. I'm specifically talking about naturally occurring preservatives like salt, pepper, garlic, onions, sugar, soy sauce and pretty much every herb in existence. See f.i.: http://www.unl.edu/rhames/courses/ppoint/spice.pdf and http://www.nature.com/srep/2011/111215/srep00196/full/srep00196.html#/f4
Digestive systems generally suffer from thriving colonies of 'wrong' gut bacteria (the poop transplant is becoming a more and more popular cure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_bacteriotherapy ) or mechanical issues (lack of fibers etc.), not necessarily from having a hard time breaking down food.

@1b:
If I'm not mistaken, oxidization requires being exposed to oxygen. There's a reason why some stuff can be stored for weeks in a closed package and mere days when the packaging is opened. There's still oxygen exposure, but it is greatly reduced and fairly predictable.

In addition to that, 'non-packaged food' may also have been or be exposed to significant amounts of oxygen and other deteriorating influences. Sure, if you take stuff directly from your own garden you have total control over that, but this is not an option for daily nutrition for pretty much everyone.
Things like frozen vegetables have been indicated to be better in containing nutrients like vitamins than 'fresh' vegetables. See f.i.: http://www.smdisteel.org/~/media/Files/SMDI/Containers/Container%20-%20UC%20Davis%20Executive%20Summary.pdf

We're very aware that deficiencies of certain vitamins can cause diseases or disorders, but it seems that just overloading our body with the pure versions of them has a bad effect, as per TFA. I guess that means we should exercise some .. moderation ;-)

I'm sure you know as well as I that labels such as "all natural" and "heart-healthy" are little more than marketing slogans.

Oh man, don't get me started. In my country, there's a foundation that attaches certain national labels on all types of products. Its board is made up of mainly ex-(marketing)employees of Unilever, Procter & Gamble and Ahold.

Then, the less a food resembles the component ingredients, the less I know what I'm actually eating, and the more a company can, in my mind, easily get away with (whether by intentional profit-grubbing or just because money motivates shortcuts and rationalizations).

As cool as this would be *now*, given enough generations these mutations will disburse (ever wonder why so many people have blue eyes?)

Well not till you mentioned it, so I checked out of idle curiosity. Using carefully selected words for the search:
how many people have blue eyes

Blue eyes are indeed becoming less common in the world. One study showed that about 100 years ago,
half of U.S. residents had blue eyes. Nowadays only 1 in 6 does. http://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask355

2% of the population has green eyes. It's the rarest eye color. 8% has blue, or a variation of blue like violet or grey.I guess the rest has brown or hazel. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_people_in_the_world_have_blue_eyes

Approximately 8% of the world's population has blue eyes http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question79523.html
which references http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Blue that makes no such claim.

8% is the answer most often given.

As for the mutation for blue eyes.
According to a team of researchers from Copenhagen University, a single mutation which arose as recently
as 6-10,000 years ago was responsible for all the blue-eyed people alive on Earth today.

Japan accuses China of encroaching in its waters after three ships closed-in on disputed islands
Philippines rebukes China for ‘militarization’ in South China Sea
Bien Dong Encroachments of China
China’s land grab in India

Stoking tensions with Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines over islands in the South and East China seas has not prevented an increasingly assertive China from opening yet another front by staging a military incursion across the disputed, forbidding Himalayan frontier.

On the night of April 15, a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) platoon stealthily intruded near the China-India-Pakistan tri-junction, established a camp 19 kilometers inside Indian-controlled territory, and presented India’s government with the potential loss of a strategically vital, 750-square-km, high-altitude plateau.

A stunned India, already reeling under a crippling domestic political crisis, has groped for an effective response to China’s land grab — the largest and most strategic real estate China has seized since it began pursuing a more muscular policy toward its neighbors. Whether China intends to stay put by building permanent structures for its troops on the plateau’s icy heights, or plans to withdraw after having extracted humiliating military concessions from India, remains an open — and in some ways a moot — question.

The fact is that, with its “peaceful rise” giving way to an increasingly sharp-elbowed approach to its neighbors, China has broadened its “core interests” — which brook no compromise — and territorial claims, while showing a growing readiness to take risks to achieve its goals.

Pictures of a smiling 12 year old Martin were shown continuously by the media.

They're still showing that image juxtaposed with Zimmerman.

A lie, on both accounts.

Unless you consider starving to death over 1,100 patients a year a "better outcome."

Why do you want to punish people for their opinion in a way that has nothing at all to do with the opinion?

Because that's one of the things available to you to protest.

You think that's how free and open exchange of ideas works, that you're supposed to financially punish everybody you disagree with, instead of just voicing your own opinion? It's totally insane.

So, you think a free and open exchange of ideas should translate into a free and open exchange of money? That people should somehow enrich him because it has nothing at all to do with his very vocal political views?

Why should they reward him?

I don't support gay marriage, but honestly it's never even occurred to me to boycott movies by director who do support gay marriage.

Has it occurred to you there are people who do exactly this? Christian groups have called on the boycott of banks because they supported gay pride events. It's hardly an isolated occurence. Hell, when people started boycotting Chik-A-Fil a bunch of other people started deliberately going there.

So, you think if you actively works against, say, purple people having rights, that purple people should enrich you in other endeavors? Why exactly? Out of kindness or stupidity? You have no right to expect people you have publicly stated are evil and should have no rights to buy your product.

But let's not pretend that Christians and other groups don't actively boycott things which they deem offensive. People choose to vote with their wallets all the time -- do you really think if Al Qaeda released a feature film that people should go see it? Why would you line the pockets of someone who hates you?

I'm sorry, but Orson Scottt Card is publicly on record as being a douchebag who campaigned against the rights of other people. To expect that group of people to say "oh well, the one has nothing to do with the other " and go to his movie is ridiculous.

OSC is free to hold his bigoted opinions, and people are free to choose to not pay money to see this movie. He's an idiot if he thinks 'tolerance' means people should forget about what he's done in the past and pay money to see it.

This amounts to "waaah, I hated those people for so long and now they won't give me money". Well, duh!
