You are asking a lot of an anonymous coward whose brain seized up when confronted with a typo/egregious grammatical error. Next you'll be demanding they take responsibility for their venom, which will also not happen.
No, but when you speak with a press that can't understand simple things, would you expect her to explain how encryption and security work? Didn't she live with a highly placed government official? Is it unreasonable to expect that personalized security as provided to a POTUS might be better than government provided security? Of course her talking points with the press are complete and total bullshit. That's how it works. You give them amusing anecdotes, and they put you on TV. This helps couch potatoes from Ann Arbor to Anaheim decide if they like your taste in clothes, or the really smart ones to see if they think you have a sense of humor or a decent stylist.
In other words most tech workers are whiny bitches.
Most workers are whiny bitches, and most jobs are legitimately the suck. There isn't anything wrong with hating your job. People have been hating their jobs for as long as there has been employment. It's not as great as when you have a job you love, but not a lot of people have those jobs. Most of the people who think they have those jobs are not that self-aware.
Get involved in answering a classic question, like "Will money buy happiness?" Your anecdotal evidence suggests not, and I have been content to accept it on face value for most of my life, but I would feel better if we could prove it. To that end, I will offer myself up as a test subject. tart giving me money, and as soon as I am happy I will let you know.
you can also get a centrally located NYC flat for $1100/month, with all of 100 square feet of space. Central Park is my living room is the marketing tag line.
No. This is why we have slingshots. Firearms are not really a wise choice in most residential neighborhoods. Dennis the Menace would have done this easily and skated almost any negative consequences. Firing a gun to deal with a drone seems plain stupid.
My money is on "tragic, unforeseeable accident" but "lone madman with a security fetish and a legally obtained high-powered rifle" is also a pretty good bet. But, sure - jury of his peers, in open court that's a real possibility, right? Hello? Anyone?
In this country, it involves elections and policy and more elections and lobbying and some more elections and discussions with elected officials and more elections and an electorate getting involved and expressing itself and that means learning what is going on which involves being capable of comprehending it and it is simply easier for most people here to make the compromise of sticking their head in the sand and pretending everything is fine because they have not been hauled off to Gitmo or rendered to Bosnia for enhanced interrogation. But the revolution or war you allude to is also popular with some people, mostly right wing congress people.
Isn't/. composed solely of sub-atomic articles? Why is the discovery of new ones newsworthy, somehow? Wouldn't that happen daily, or possibly hourly, at/.?
Stupid American!.000001 Euros, obviously, in stolen electricity... wait, no - abstracted.
I suppose it isn't the economics of it, but the principle involved. If they let one person get away with it on the grounds that it makes absolutely no difference to the owner of the electricity or anyone else, anywhere, ever, then soon they could have literally dozens of people eventually doing so, unrepentantly and without negative consequence... but what about that original complainant? Why shouldn't *they* get to impose *their* will on others? *They* have a *uniform* ffs.
So, I suppose the term "abstracts" is used when there is no physical object to show as evidence? It kind of makes the whole complaint seem silly. Not that I would ever want to suggest that the local constabulary in any given jurisdiction might be better off focusing on what people call, for lack of a better term, real crime. That would seem disrespectful. Kind of like arresting someone for a few -- insert term for small measure of currency in your land here ---'s worth of electricity that would have gone unnoticed but for the remarkable detective work of this brave first responder.
Actually, if you try to use a credit card analogy, you would cut up the card and still be getting new charges on it in businesses you go to. The photos are the charges, the photo subjects are the new stores. Be honest - is that how you think credit cards work? The previously published photos, or charges from when you were actually using the card, remain until paid off. That is reasonable. The new ones seem an issue.
All TV shows get cancelled. Except The Simpson's, and even that may get the axe, one day. Crystal Pepsi is a stripper name I am not familiar with. I am sorry to hear she died, but I was not a fan. Microsoft is not a hardware company, so the Zune was never a good investment.
On the other hand, I did love my Betamax by Sony. Does that count?
That's a hell of a lot of speculation on your part.
How do *your* theories start? Mine begin by looking at known bits and pieces and looking for alternative explanations. That kind of requires speculation, and imagination.
The person wasn't the target, the building was. If the individual was bragging he was at a military / terrorist C&C location, then the building and everyone else in it were legitimate targets. If the moron was there then it was just gravy.
Actually, if the braggart was there at the time that bombs took the target down, that is sad. If he was not there, chances are he does it again at another location. Bang-zoom. More dead C&C, easy peasy.
- snip - even if I was some dumbass who didn't know what a stormtrooper was.
If they did not know a piece of information, they are not a dumbass. That makes them an ignoramus. If they were a principal of a school, that only confirms it.
So much for my insightful "Yeah, and Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, where he died of syphilis" comment being original and thought provoking. Most people disapprove of child molesters using a position of power to gain sexual satisfaction for themselves. If money laundering sheds this pustule from the herd, well, good on thems as prosecutes him, imo.
it can't all be just 'literary license' and 'plot devices' concocted by the writers and directors.
Because you say so? To paraphrase Peter O'Toole's character from The Stunt Man "Give me thirty seconds of film and I can create, then destroy, entire worlds, complex civilizations!" You should not sell those concepts short, even if, or perhaps, just because you do not know how to code in that language.

Aaah, jeepers bro - what's wrong? Does your pussy hurt?
really look like a well formed thought to you, Timothy? What about Timothy's editor? Hello? Anyone home?

Seriously, ffs, upon which wild ass grab do they decide that they have *any* idea on how many trees existed before human civilization?
dunno. I did not read tfa. did you?
