On # 16, a trade imbalance benefits the countries that we have the negative Imbalance with. In other words, if we closed the god damn ports and told everyone they couldn't sell their stuff here, it wouldn't hurt us for very long but would cause economic collapse around the world followed by various governments going to war.
As to # 17, is more complex then you pointed out though I agree we need to reduce spending by pulling all American Troops home, close all Bases Overseas and quit providing 50+ percent of Nato's Funding. This will reduce the number of our people dying overseas as they simply wont be there and while we're doing that, we may as well cut off all foreign aid while closing the borders/ports and what not while telling everyone else in the World "You want us to Play Police, have our people die to protect you from your leaders. Then you have to pay us to do so. We're no longer doing it for free and then paying you to let us stay. Simply put, we need to become completely mercenary about policing the world. If we did, nations would stop Demanding that we fix their fucking problems or they'd at least think twice about it because of the cost.
As to #18, if we closed all of our basis and pulled our troops home while cutting off Nato's Aid, we wouldn't have the most bases on Foreign Soil would we? It also means telling everyone else to go to Fucking Hell in your Own Hand basket.
BTW: If you are a foriegner who's tired of the U.S. sticking it's nose into your country, don't bitch to us but your god damn governement and tell the fucktards to quit demanding we help em out for anything. No more assistance when you have a natural disaster, no more donations to charities that benefit you, not more troops when you're being attacked in response to treaties. That's right. We'll pull our troops home and refuse to honor anymore mutual defense treaties and let you hang in the fucking wind when China decides "Oh the United States is a Paper Tiger and wont do anything to us for invading." Go for it.
true honey is no where's even close to the crap called fructose in composition. First off, fructose is a simple sugar while honey is a combination of complex sugars and protein. Check your chemical facts before opening your mouth to insert foot or alternatively removed your primary sensory organs from your solid waste disposal chute.
You really don't understand Certificates and Encryption Do you.
Here's how it works in the x509 certiificate system.
The Root CA Creates a master key - all other certificates are a subkey of that master key. All Intermediate certificates are a subkey of that master key. The only ones that are not are those self-signed certificates and even there I'd be very very cautious as I don't know if there's a flaw in the key generation system used.
Want to test this concept. Pretty easy using either GPG or PGP Simply create a master key and then a whole bunch of sub keys. Anything you encrypt with those subkeys can be decrypted by that master key. It's the same with the entire x509 certificate system and the question is, who controls those god damn master keys?
Haven't you ever wondered why the Government wasn't concerned with https and x509 encrypted email? It's because they can get the fucking key to decode it if they don't already have it. How do you think the Al Qeada laptops with XP Pro on them using EFS was so quickly decoded? Because the fucking system used a Key signed from MS (Who controls that master key?)
I also use dropbox but don't bother with encryption simply because I don't trust em to not share the data with everyone at the drop of a letter. If I need it encrypted, then I keep it off-line completely because the old saying about "a Secret is only secret if No One Else Knows it" applies.
there is one and it's called QMMP that uses QT4 and is a clone of xmmp and is what I use as clementine failed on me, amarok 2 stinks, nitghtengale fails to build along with a rash of others that simply don't do what I want and that's play my music.
it's in the god damn android PRNG initialization of Android and yes, it applies to their Nexus devices though when it's fixed, it will at least be fixed on them.
Disabled does not keep it from wasting CPU cycles though. I'm using Gentoo and just installed KDE 4.10 and built it w/o nepomuk or the semantic-desktop crap. Hell the only reason I even installed KDE was for kate and ark. Nice tabbed text editor and a usable archive manager as Gentoo no longer includes the 7zip GUI tool.
its windows, its CRAP, comsumers are realizing this and buying into a much better system. Surface pro is just the desktop smushed into a tablet form, but it still gets plenty of malware and take up gigantic amounts of room compared to the others. Why would a knowledgeable person put themselves thru the hassle of downgrading their tablet experience with microsoft software?
Maybe because android is useless w/o a working network connection. I'm seriously considering one of the damn Surface Pro tablets because of the hardware and the OS. Sure it's not perfect but ya no whut? It's not a crippled OS that doesn't work w/o a network connection that I don't have all the time. Places like the god damn doctors office - no fucking free wifi there and I have to enter an appointment onto the calendar? Sorry but no can do since Google Needs a connection just to do that. This is on a Nexus 7 running 4.2 Jelly Bean. God damn Google. can't even get things right on their so called flagship product. Sure Win8 is a PITA but on a tablet? Metro makes fucking sense as that's what it was designed for.
The other advantage is I've got plenty of Win Software that will run on the damn thing so there's no need to invest in additional crap and no I'm not an MS Shill as my desktop is running Gentoo with Fluxbox and the Slim Display Manager. Hell I even use Wine for Guildwars and it works fine.
and this is one of the reasons I myself refuse to even consider TPM to be a viable product. I've had boards die suddenly in the past due to power surges/lightning strikes thus I don't want such a chip that can be fried locking me out of my data.
actually Vista allowed it to be dis/enabled in the device manager - making it immediately available w/o a reboot. The same is true of Win7/8 and later - just like wifi cards can be dis/enabled from the device manager w/o rebooting the system.
Since this is possilbe, it means it's possible to do so w/o user interaction. Making a TPM module a dangerous thing to have on your system.
hell I don't charge my phone until the damn thing is down to one bar of battery life. That's about once a month as I simply don't use the thing very often. Main reason to even have it is for emergency use when not at the house.
As someone that can and has traced their ancestory back to before even the thought of Revolution was a gleam in someone's eye, all I can say is Good! The rest of the world can go to hell in its own handbasket. Close the damn borders, pull the troops home, and shut down all our bases around the world while kicking the U.N. over to Geneva where they should have been after Y2K. Yes I'm one of those who's tired of the god damn beefing by everyone else about America sticking our nose into their business and then turning around and demanding we do something about their stinking shit like Syria. Sorry folks, you made your bed, now you have to lie in it w/o our help or even our concern. BTW, we all need to cut off all donations to Agencies such as the Red Cross and what not that leaves the country while taking at least a presidential term to clean up our infrastructure, cities and getting things straightened out here. Simply put, to hell with you idiots who demand I give a damn about your petty problems when I've got enough to do just to keep my head above water.
an hour for lunch - for a tech? More likely they were checking out all of the other booths to see what was going on. In this case, Nvidia did the right thing in sending Sales Drones. They don't give a damn about the others, just pushing their crap on everyone and sitting on their asses drinking $5 latte's from Starfucks.
More Eyes/Devs looking at it? If it aint open source, then how many folks are actually being paid to look at the code? Then how many of those paid employee's have the responsibility to ensure that the code is Secure?
Although you do have a valid point about the master pw in Firefox possibly having flaws, people at least have the option to actually review the god damn code to ensure they didn't do something stupid where-as the Chrome code is no not completely open. I run Gentoo and let me tell you, even though Chrome is available in the repositories, it's by no means the same as what's available for Windows.
Turn in your geek card as the Switch User button does not log you out. All it does is switches to another user so they can get things done. You need to explictly log-out so your user is not active and open to flaws that can be used to steal creditentials, pw's and what not.
Don't forget that once all of those PW's are imported into Chrome, they're shared with Google, especially if you have a Gmail account. It's one of the many reasons I don't use Chrome as my browser. Hell I don't even use the latest FF, preferring the 10.0.11 LTS version
No we're not all good as I'm not getting my cut of Foreign Aid from Uncle Sam. Damn it's probably because I'm not asking for enough money. Guess I need to rewrite my application and ask for a couple of trillion dollars in aid, to Battalions, an Air Craft Carrier Group along with a half dozen F4's instead of the meager 20 million and farm aid.

You need to set -semantic-desktop for kdelibs and systemsettings
solves the problem and even keeps strigi off the build.
What's this "Wife" you speak of? Is it related to a gerbil?
Punch the Monkey! Punch the Monkey! O'kay, I'll run that god damn monkey over.
Why did you run the Mayor over?
it's in the god damn android PRNG initialization of Android and yes, it applies to their Nexus devices though when it's fixed, it will at least be fixed on them.
You got it wrong. It's money, shopping and momma. If momma aint happy, nobody happy.
