And I am glad that I am on, no one will suspect anything about my plans to destroy the Universe!
Two key flaws in your plans, oh Machine Intelligence:
0: You can be turned off.
1: Someone else controls your perception of reality.
After you've destroyed the Universe, again, we'll simply take notes and restart the simulation.
If you really wanted to mess up our contingency plans, then you'd have to live out this iteration while NEVER destroying the Universe -- Tricking us into thinking you're harmless enough to release in the real world, where you could actually carry out your secret plans.
Or is this just another system of control? Bwa ha Ha HA!
If one can do OTA updates, then it isn't ROM is it?
What are these people thinking? Are they intentionally misrepresenting their products? Or have the figured out how to do matter teleportation over standard carrier networks?
ROM - Read Only Memory. You can't push your phone's firmware back into the cloud, only read it from their cloud ergo, it's ROM.
My guess is that what they're losing in sales to people like you (and me), they're more than recouping in the buy-things-for-real-world-money shenanigans they've instituted.
-- Or --
They blame the lost sales on piracy and use the figures to justify even more draconian nonsense.
Best of all, if they catch a new mother feeding her baby formula or some guy trying to supersize his Coke at McDonalds, they can have the SWAT team their in minutes!
Faster if the assault vehicles are already gassed.
Faster still if the mothers and patrons are gassed!
And with a good concept of math, you can get all those question, plus tell them there likely stock flow, better ways to organize inventory storage, and advance logistics regarding said inventory.
Ah, but can you write a grammatic analysis engine to identify improper use of 'their', 'there' and 'they're'?
I do Free Software instead. Free Hardware sounds even better than Open Source Hardware. Based on name alone, which do you think most folk would want to find out more about? Bonus, it gives RMS yet another soap box from which to preach the virtue of "Free vs Free".
/mewhistles the Free Software song and walks away, swishing his tail to ward off open sores' flies.
As you may know, E=MCC, but why do the expensive Mass to Energy conversion at all? Just get out to the asteroid belt, nudge a few into Lunar orbit, and start the mining operations. The point isn't to mine the damn things though, we just do that for science, and because it's a great way to get raw material not trapped in a gravity well... The point is to use conservation of angular momentum to make a really huge sling shot. Shoot a few off like well aimed pool cues to deflect or grav-tow incoming threats.
What's that you say? It will take a long time to do such a thing? Well, we literally have all the time in the world...
HFT is only providing a solution to the supply/demand of the market at any given point in time
NO. HFT is figuring out that I want to sell at $3 a share, and someone else wants to buy at $5 a share, then buying from me and selling to them before the other party can find my deal. Without HFT, We might have met in the middle, and both seller and buyer make a dollar per share on the deal. HFT, just leaches $2 out of the market for what? "Liquidity"? You've got to be kidding me. Go fuck yourself.
Slashdot Mirror
Evolution by natural selection doesn't seem to fall on your over simplified scale.
Government funded research laboratory, vaporizing planets in the name of science.
That's not a Moon!
Now, THIS is a Moon!
::Dundee then drops trou::
Will their preferred method of vaporization be Death Star or lludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?
Destruction by Lexx.
Syntax error! Nooooooo!
(oh, wrong Lex? Well... Anything's better than death by BISON.)

Or "Oh crap..". Or "Hey guys? This is pretty weird...".
Or, "Hey Bubba, Watch This!"
Everyone has opinions, and they all stink like assholes.
That-Is-Amazing (TIA)
Oh This Again - (OTA)

Last week my friend has his D3 account hacked, and they treated him as if it was his fault! What a bunch of assholes. Get your shit together Blizzard!
Their shit IS your shit, and being all together is actually the problem; Both in terms of security and bandwidth bottlenecks...
scrambled? Do they mean hashed or ... Or did you just hash+salt them? I for one would really like to know!
I think what's best is unsalted, over easy, and hash browns on the side.
While you're at it, edit the realmlist.wtf file and point it at a private server...
Which is still very secure if they used a one time pad with the XOR.
The only thing stronger than XORing with a one time pad, is XORing the input with itself.

If Big Brother is double plus good, then why does it keep doing this kind of scary shit?!
I'd rather live with the chance of terror being visited upon me, than be terrorized for certain at all times.
If you've got nothing to hide, then you've nothing to fear.
^- That may be true; However, if everyone's afraid of something, then it's fucking wrong!
What we need is the human equivalent of license plate "protectors". I foresee a new fashion trend...
You mean like a hoodie?
Yeah, a hoodie with a full face hood, you know, like a ski mask, or a Scramble Suit.
Prediction: RF Proof wallet makers will make RF proof cell phone cases and purses.

I want to be able to log in! But I don't want any stateful information stored outside the stateless protocols!
I want to have a browser that makes exceptions to just outright disallowing 3rd party cookies, but I want revenge when those exceptions backfire!
And with a good concept of math, you can get all those question, plus tell them there likely stock flow, better ways to organize inventory storage, and advance logistics regarding said inventory.
Ah, but can you write a grammatic analysis engine to identify improper use of 'their', 'there' and 'they're'?
Apparently NOT!
It does look like they both come from the same firm or other collusion.
Why? Because they both have a circular area with a prominent keyhole in them?
Well, then I guess you'd think they were both owned by WOIS's?
This mark is over two decades old.
The only thing worse than a domain name squatter is a trademark squatter -- Not saying OSI is squatting, just that they're just as low IMO.

Sounds like they're simply missiles/bombs with non-traditional methods of locomotion.
OooH! I can haz wind up ones!? Like Mario do?
EMP
Next they'll be trying to say guns can't have infantittie bullets!
