While it is so popular to blame the government, And no doubt many will, there is a basis for this, and it isn't the government, it is us.
All of our data is online, and most of it is protected exactly as well as all of the data breaches we hear about. Hospitals with no security, schools with no security. And while it specifically notes on ones Social security card that it isn't for identification, for years, we'd give out our socials exactly as ID, including for silly shit like Shopper's cards, and other semi pointless things. Where I worked, the SS number was used all over the place, such as when I applied for a health club access on campus.
And all of the data security? Not hardly a little bit. So guess who has everyone's SS numbers now? You got it. Even now, there are daily breaches.
This internt thing? Awesome in so many ways, and in a few, a real disaster is unfolding.
Wasn't it though? I'm not a big fan of either, or at least wasn't until I saw this interview, and was glad to see each could have an interesting and real conversation, brought some humanity to their tough images.
At least the widows question has already been asked, and answered, about 2000 years ago; you might have a look at Luke 20:27-40.
Does not actually answer the question, AFAIC.
To put it more exactly, my question is fairly simple, and no need for a slew of marriages.
If you are a widower, and you remarry, and had loved each wife equally, who do you spend eternity with? One? Both? Assuming you enjoy sexual pleasures with your second spouse, as well as had enjoyed them with the first spouse, how does one carry on in heaven? Manage a try at menage a trois? What if your first spouse doesn't like your second second spouse?
Or is there no human affection in heaven? If so, are we then not made in God's image? Or just made in his image in heaven, and not on earth, where suddenly most of the things we do as a matter of existence are gone?
Or is the actual answer to my question contained in line 40:
And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
Which pretty much sums up as Ask not uncomfortable questions, shut thine pie-hole!
As for what you would do in heaven, the Bible says precious little, maybe because getting hung up on that is missing the point.
While we can debate what getting hung up is, I think it is actually pretty important, assuming one believes in the Abrahamic God. If the goal is to save one's immortal soul, then it might be a nice thing to know what one will do with all that time. There are some among humans who think that having an immortal soul at all would be an unforgivable curse.And to have to spend life worshipping a God, only to die and the reward is to worship that same god forever, is a bit pointless.
To be fair, Megan Kelly was a corporate lawyer before becoming a TV host. She is not a wilting daisy, and not many people can stand up to her easily.
I didn't even think that much of her until after Trump and her had their little exchange, and he couldn't handle her then made his creepy menstrual cycle rip, then I did some research. And you are right, she's pretty formidable.
Oddly enough, the only person I saw who handled her well was of all people Michael Moore, who pretty much charmed her.
The setup was ready for a regular Fox piece, and he just charmed her overwhelmingly. Here's the clip - kinda fun to watch, because after disarming her, it became a nice back and forth.

You take the bait, and he is afraid to stand up to her. I've dealt with trolls before, and yes, she was trolling him. Of course it isn't like there was nothing to troll. Regardless, a troll is so easily defeatable it's hilarious. You engage, then ignore, then rinse and repeat, then finally give them the smackdown.
But he's too big a coward, and runs away when confronted. A true American Hero, or perhaps not.
Honey boo-Boo or Celebrity Apprentice is a reality show. Your claiming that all shows are the equivalent of Honey Boo-Boo and Celebrity Apprentice is a little off, one would think.
It does however give me some more insight into the minds of Trump supporters. Reality becomes warped, and Winston Churchill is the exact same thing as Simon Cowell.
Now let's move on to the specifics of Trump's foreign policy and economic policy and US security policies.
you mean Megan Kelly who called him "Lord Vodemort"? naw, she really did get owned by Trump and had veritible blood coming out of her whatever.
Yeah, a real big man making a 5th grader's joke about a woman's menstrual cycle. If you think that's owning her, he could recite the alphabet, and you''d crown him lord.
Sorry, your hero has clay feet, and is a coward. A real man would have gone on the next debate, and been oh so pleasant, showing ms kelly that he is the bigger man.
But alas, he is no man at all. Just another in a line of chicken hawks who talk big, but can be counted on to retreat with their tails between their legs when someone stands up to them.
But there is a longstanding tradition of people who will support loudmouthed buffoons with no actual plans.
Of course we got control, I turned 20 in early 1984. Now Tump and the rest of us old coots (aka former angst-ridden teen sociopaths) are going to give you little kid shits a long overdue attitude adjustment.
and stay the fuck off my lawn
If you are serious - Trump is the epitome of the Brave coward, He's the guy who will light the world on fire and will force everyone to bend to his will.
And he cannot even stand up to little Megan Fox.
And that dear sir, tells you everything you need to know about the reality show host.
If they are so concerned about losing money then perhaps they should have spent a bit more to prevent the well from rupturing in the first place rather than sit around for 3 months claiming it would take many more months to plug the leak.
But that wouldn't have serviced the stockholders.
Rinse and repeat. It's the corporate version of "Hello World!"
This has nothing to do with "internet of things", at least no more than a networked file server should be considered "internet of things". These are devices that have a legitimate need to report real time data over a network. It's totally different from a wifi enabled toaster.
The internet of things, is things that are attached to th internet. This might be your toaster, this might ba an X-ray machine, it might be a home heating system, or it might be a wifi enabled insulin pump or internet connected morphine administration unit or a refrigerator or a home surveillance or patient surviellance system, or Mir or CAT scanner or power plant. in short, a "thing" that gets instructions or programming or gives feedback via internal network or the internet.
Sorry, but I'm accustomed to the term "internet of things" being sort of a pejorative term relating to connecting a bunch of more or less frivolous stuff to the internet. Even something like a wifi thermostat, while offering some legitimate functionality, is still pretty frivolous.
Well, I'll try to be as nice as possible, but you are wrong. It's according to the above. The concept is exactly the same. Hospitals are one of the early adopters of the internet of things. We've seen a couple of cases recently where they've been hacked. One of them even paid a ransom to get their computer system back. The hospital cancelled many of it's operations because they were life critical devices that may have been or were compromised.
If it's not some frivolous connectivity (ex: a heart monitor reporting its vital data to a central health monitoring server), I generally just think of it as "a computer network", not an "internet of things".
The industry disagrees with you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Medical and healthcare systems are indeed considered part of the internet of things.
Maybe my understanding of the term is incomplete, but that's how I've always seen it used, and that what I think of when I see the term.
The silly stuff is indeed part of it. But it's a part of it. It isn't some definition I made up while trying to hurt your feelings. You are simply wrong.
On the other hand, a deep-seated tendency to be an asshole IS required to type up a post in the tone you did.
I am most simply guilty as charged, No deep seated tendency needed.
But dear coward, my being an asshole does not make me wrong.
I'm sick and tired of your bs and i'm calling you out right here right now. Here is your comment #32700246 that you like to quote in your tagline. different than how you quote it. I'm calling you out!
Are you the guy that had the butt he refused to lick?
What am I going to do in heaven anyhow? Is there sex in heaven? And what about Widows and Widowers? Pets? Beer?
An eternity spent doing anything would be the most horrible, sadistic torture imaginable.
Most people get bored trying to figure out what to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, to spend an eternity praying and praising some magical sky-god would be the very definition of "hell" for most sane people.
Agreed. With my low threshold for boredom, I suspect I'd go batshit insane after a few millennia.
Yeah! God loves you so much that he'll torture forever if you don't love him back.
What am I going to do in heaven anyhow? Is there sex in heaven? And what about Widows and Widowers? Pets? Beer?
If all I'm going to do is sit on a cloud and play a harp forever and ever, and worship a god who delights in destroying his creations, to hell with me!
This has nothing to do with "internet of things", at least no more than a networked file server should be considered "internet of things". These are devices that have a legitimate need to report real time data over a network. It's totally different from a wifi enabled toaster.
In the end, it isn't. Wordsmith all you like, and do whatever allows you to rationalize that it isn't. but they are things attached to a network, an enjoy all the wonderful side effects that teh connected toaster. After all, that is exactly what the article is about.
Colgnitive dissonance runs strong, but fear not, you can change the truth merely by denying it.

In all seriousness, the telem shits been going sense XP(and in ALL major OSs). People just need something to bitch about in 10 now that they have their start button back and its a handy lightening rod for irrational hate.
Telemetry is one thing. I set my systems to check for updates, but allow me to download and install them. Which is gone in W10, I can sort of delay them, but the updates change the settings to automatic.
I also don't have any problem with sending crash reports, or any feedback that I approve. And if I ask a question of Siri or Cortana, it obviously goes out to somewhere to find it. So every OS phones home. But last time I checked, OS X or Linux doesn't read my email, or keypresses That would be Microsoft. And It obviously couldn't be happening since 1995.
But back to the pay thing. I actually like the way W10 works if they would just let me have control over the updates, and do not want all of the telemetry.
They have a payment system discount for people who think it's half good?
No, it's as if they know there's limited alternatives for the consumer market. Grandma isn't going to use Linux, sorry people -- and Apple costs money.
You are quite wrong there. I've got a lot of grandmas to run Linux - Mint is more like their old computer than W8 or W10 will ever be.
OSX? That too expensive meme is getting old and creaky. Forgetting for a moment that buying an equivalent Windows machine exposes the canard, but the machines tend to last longer before needing a new one. But yes, it is true that you can go buy a cheap desktop at WallyWorld for maybe 350 dollars, which is a lot cheaper than my iMac. But that's like saying a Toyota Corolla is better than a (fill in your favorite luxury car here.)
Grandma doesn't call me telling me her OSX machine doesn't work after an update, or her Linux machine either. The biggest thing I'm doing these days is "fixing" their computers by installing ad blockers.
And one thing I've found out is Grandma-net is fast!
