I don't want to see a gay couple making out in an SF series, but I don't want to see ANYONE who should rather get a room there either. Even the decontamination gel fan service in the Enterprise pilot was unnecessary and misplaces. as are the space mushrooms.
I've been watching Star Trek Voyager on Netflix lately - For some reason I never watched it during it's run.
What is interesting is how a series with the first ST Woman Captain, and many different women in the command structure, such as B'lanna the engineer, managed to make the female leads credible, likeable and relatable. I have been incredibly impressed on how Mulgrew's character Janeway, managed to be both a credible commander, and yet still unmistakably feminine. She deserves any and all the accolades she may have received.
Contrast today's version of leader women, who are ersatz men but with an attitude belling insecurity. And the addition of gratuitous non-standard gender characters
And remember Kes, (Jennifer Lien) the adorable tiny alien lady? I'll just leave this here: https://www.cbs17.com/news/sta... I mean, what the hell happened to her?
and he cant be, or there would be a much bigger fuss being made
Are you kidding? You don't think that he tells random people all sorts of US secrets? He fucking Tweets nation secrets.
If we didn't have a ridiculously corrupt Congress, he's be serving life behind bars for treason.
Treason is only applicable during war. We bandy that word around too much.
Intelligence obtained from "just chats with old friends" can be just as valuable as from classified communication.
Who are the friends? Which one could extract some additional information in "just chat"? Who has influence over president?
You get it. More people to get information from and investigate, possible avenues of compromise, and of course, the occasional bragging slip.
It says he uses the phones to talk to old friends, people he was in regular contact with long before he became president. So long as he's not discussing classified information (and he cant be, or there would be a much bigger fuss being made) then whats the problem?
Even if using a government supplied landline, if hes calling regular phones then it can't be encrypted end to end, it has to traverse the public telephone network at some point where it could be subject to interception.
Interesting intelligence can be pieced together from seemingly innocuous conversations. You can pick up state of mind, often people will reveal sort of unclassified information coupled with sort of other unclassified information, and put 'em together and what do you got? A classified breach. As well, there are often full fledged slips every so often And if not slips, things can become classified later.
And if it wasn't interesting, China and Russia and others would not be eavesdropping on the conversations.
If I was in that position, I would not use an insecure phone again until I was ex-president.
Heck, if the recent discoveries of the effects on glyphosate on insects bears out, that one may be worse than anything you listed.
I know it isn't popular among the inertia crowd, but they might do a little reading on just how often we poisoned a lot of our citizens. And when I say we, I don't mean just Americans.
Usually what it takes is for the inertia crowd to start keeling over. And about all these endocrine disrupters and estrogen mimics, it will happen.
I'm an inherent skeptic, but the evidence is pretty compelling.
What is the magnitude of risk here? Is it an observable epidemiological effect like lead in petroleum, and iodine deficiency?
Or is it more like the recent hysteria over glyphosate?
I've read the data, the numbers are significant and show increasing harm by closer distance to the spraying sites, and coinciding across the locations.
Observable evidence doesn't mean much, as when people showed concern about tetra ethyl lead in gasoline, an industry exec "proved" it was perfectly safe by washing his hands in gasoline. This was years before the inadvertent experiment where demographics showed that men living near highways were poisoned with lead, leading to violent tendencies.
And there are still people who whine about banning DDT, lead in gasoline, elimination of Paris Green (arsenic source) from pesticides, and removing arsenic from wallpaper, and dosing children with huge amounts of X-rays in bogus shoe fitting devices.
I get why Apple did what they did but they don't get off the hook ethically just because they painted themselves into a corner.
Fortunately, Apple is the only company in th eworld that has entered into the unholy evil of the Chinese. We should put them out of business, euthanize Cook and everyone else, and allow companies that do not bend to the communist Chinese demands like Google, who have never compromised their principles - and never will.
Android has a perfect track record of Truth, Justice, and the American way. And fortunately, no Android phones or components are made in China, everything is made in the USA.
iptables works in Android the same as it does any Linux operating system.
Yeah - My Grandma uses iptables all the time.
I've always enjoyed Slashdotters defend Operating System Issues by telling everyone that they have to do things like use ipTables, go into services and dick with registries, open up terminal or command prompts, root their devices, Learn Unix. and on and on and on and on.
Yeah - you and I can do that stuff. 99.999999 percent of users have no idea of what we are talking about, have no intentions of becoming a power user, so this means nothing at all to them. So a.000001 percent solution is no solution at all.
yeah, it's not like iOS apps have ads or anything. wait a minute...
*minute passes*
Yes but not from Apple, and Apple gets no data from the ads. So your point was...
*waiting another minute*
T%he whataboutism ius strong in this one. SO are you thinking this is a good thing that Android apps are doing? Or better, since The datat sent to Google is less intrusive than thaat collected by Apple?
State your mind on the subject, not that Apple is bad and Android somehow is pure as the driven snow.
This is why I choose to not talk about anything not work related at work. It's just too easy to get into the crosshairs of someone that could accuse you of anything just because they felt like it. This isn't court; accusations ruin careers without proof.
Exactly. There is a sliver of hope though. We are seeing the #metoo pogrom has reached it's limit.
The recent supreme court seating of Justice Kavanaugh backfired terribly on those who would insist that all is needed is an accusation.
In the end, a person who probably isn't fit to be a supreme court justice became an object of sympathy. But when you have a women's revenge network led by a pedophile and demanding that a man be fired when the woman he took on a date didn't enjoy herself, people eventually figure out what you are up to.
Protip - Ladies, if someone sexually assaults you, do not wait 30 years to report it. Because at that point, it kinda looks like you are trying to smear a person who isn't going to vote according to your wishes. This case shows why there is a statute of limitations in the first place.
Something to think about ladies..... If Kavanaugh actually did these things, and you reported it the next day, he probably would never have become what he is now.
Ever since then, these companies have been directly or indirectly faking their numbers, because they know when the real numbers come out, the Big Tech game is up and they all go back to managing Windows networks at donut shops in small midwestern cities.
Good.
Perhaps we can rid the internet of part one of it's toxic presence.
Next up will be Microsoft and their malware emulating updates.
Are we to assume, BuzzFeed have moved on from the "Find out what kind of pizza you are" and unsourced anti-Trump hit-pieces to actual credible journalism? Skeptical as I am of Google, BuzzFeed has an even longer way to go to credibility...
In Soviet America, truth is based on your opinion of the source.
Chronic depressed people are simply insufferable. It doesn't matter what you say to them, they will always take it negatively. However, these people are sick and one should bear with them, even though it is hard. That is true kindness.
I've got work to do - empathy is good, but there are doctors, meds and hospitals for them to recover in, not making like hell for everyone around them.
Most open source developers I know would leave a project before they would try to change personality.
Well, it is simply not worth it.
In today's world, a man can be destroyed career wise by the insinuation of anything. And let's face it, the CoC's are aimed straight at males. So why on earth would I or any sane male work gratis on a project that 1 person who disagrees with me can devastatingly affect my future?
I have found, and I suspect that most people have found, that when I have to second and third guess every word I write, I end up choosing not to write anything.

I hope that IS a minority....

I think your A.I. is not quite ready to post on Slashdot.
Just add blockchain to it.
In this day and age you can't just add tits; there has to be a dick to complete the package.
Sounds like a shemale.
The anecdote is just to express scepticism and call for real evidence.
Can you give me the citations that prove that the evidence is not real? Well, Ask any ye shall recieve.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...

These are just a few of many available citations. Your challenge is to refute them since you appear to know that these reports are not real.

The companies hold great sway in these matters.

Do you think apps on the Apple Store "could" also share data with Apple?
No, because Apple does not collect user data, either from built in or third party apps.
There is literally no way for a third party to forward data to Apple for collection.
Whatabout whataboutism?

This kind of reproachful tone is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
