Would be nice if we could have 2-3 National ID numbers of varying security so that we could give the low security one to places like that, reserving the high security one for things like finances.
The mention of Benghazi is likely a reference to the fact that Republicans are STILL trying to make Benghazi out to be a conspiracy despite multiple independent investigations turning up nothing.
Yep. Read an article on a Gawker subsidiary about the dating scene in New York, how it's dominated by guys using Tinder to get one night stands. They interviewed some women as well, they expressed disappointment with the status quo and it's just like "Well maybe you should stop using an app dedicated to one night stands?"
More likely the kid got legitimately sick at some point, the parents latched onto something they heard about on Facebook and things snowballed from there.
Less than the cost of what they can make with it. Keep in mind that for a lot of these places it's not a matter of hopping onto Amazon and having it shipped to you 2nd day for free with Prime. A lot of people in developing nations have to put a LOT of work in to get supplies, the 3D printing supplies can be bought in bulk and made into whatever they need.
I'd love to live in such a world, but we don't. Since we don't proper measures must be taken to secure important customer data. it's the responsibility of the companies to provide SOME degree of security to their information, if they don't then they should be held liable. It's not hard to do so these days, so if you don't then it's pure laziness.
In the same fashion we shouldn't NEED to have banks with secure vaults, but if you went into a bank and they said "Sorry, someone walked into our vault and took your money, it's gone now." I'm sure you'd be somewhat put out that the bank didn't have security in place.
Lastly, FINDING the thieves in cases like this is almost impossible, and if we did find them they're probably in a different country and don't have enough money to replay the damages caused anyway. Punishing them is nearly impossible and won't fix the problems that the victims (being the consumers, not the company) have.
All most people need in the modern day is a tablet with a docking station for those times when they need a larger screen or a better keyboard. My dad does nothing in his day-to-day workload that can't be handled just fine by a tablet. It's the reality of the general populace's usage patterns and the state of modern technology.
To a degree, but there's also support to be considered. Unless you have a flagship model it's not necessarily easy to find an updated OS, and not getting updates can mean having a device that's too insecure to trust.

Wrong country, but you're AC so you probably already knew that.
I'm curious to know if you've tried this on a video compressed using the H.264 lossless compression settings.
"But all my friends are on Tinder!"
Pedophilia is probably out as well.

Computers were invented well before 2009.

IIRC they applied the same tests to male profiles.
More readily available partners. Dating is a woman's game for the most part these days.
I've been building and upgrading my own desktops since I was 14. I'm not touching a modular phone with a 10 foot pole.
Because it's psychosomatic.
Same thing with my sister and Taco Bell (cue Taco Bell jokes).

As far as I've heard so far there's been no proof to back it up.

It's more that unwanted children generally lead worse lives, leading them to situations where crime is more likely.
I'd be surprised if it was that high. I'd guess more along the lines of 0.5 at most.
I don't care about taking something out of my pocket and I don't leave the house without my phone. So neither of those apply to me.
If we refused to buy from any company that did anything assholeish then there'd be nothing to buy.
The 3D NAND will filter down eventually. It's apparently the way forward as making NAND smaller isn't working anymore.
This is exactly me. I haven't worn a watch since shortly after I graduated high school. I have a phone, what do I need a watch for?
