I would recommend noscript. Firefox does have a glaring flaw in that all the tabs run in the same process so if one gets wonky, it's game over for everything. It's probably flash that's killing you. I use noscript which blocks everything (like flash) that I don't explicitly want running and it makes Firefox very stable. As a side benefit, it makes browsing much safer. I use Chrome a lot too but when I'm going to any questionable sites, I use firefox just because of noscript.
Yeah, the researcher doesn't get it at all. The so called "interest group" is friends and family. It's one spot I can go to to find out what's up. I certainly wouldn't go there to satisfy an anime addiction but she needs to realize there are different kinds of groups and they don't all fit into her very limited definition of what a group is. It's sad that I get this and I'm not a fb fan and I almost never post.
So you're in favor of outlawing an adaptor that's better than the USB adaptors in every way except for its lack of ubiquity? Wow. I hope you don't breed.
Winners of prestigious military medals stand in the face of danger. It's why they earned their medals. Snowden faces no danger whatsoever because he ran away. Putin loves this guy and he'll live a long life there. The problem with what the general public calls a hero these days is that the definition has become so broad as to become nearly meaningless. If you're not putting yourself into a position of substantial danger, you're not a hero...period.
But how will American millennials have an outlet for their inferiority complex?! They're still learning the world doesn't work like they think it does.
Why? Just because they have the ability to infect millions of computers, doesn't mean they have...or more importantly, don't so illegally. For example, it would be completely legal for them to do this to computers located in Russia.
Of course this is/., so the assumption is ALWAYS that the tech the NSA has is being used illegally.
In my experience, very few android fans give credit to Apple for anything at all even though one of Google's android architects admits to having to redesign the UI for android after seeing iOS for the first time. Most are too passionate in their hatred to see things any other way other than Apple as being evil and unworthy.
Except for the fact that the/. article you linked to has a WILDLY inaccurate summary. Micron didn't patent "slide to unlock"; they patented pattern based authentication (like the kind common found on android devices).
No, biologists think the are smart for an animal. There's always a qualification. I read articles about this stuff several times a year and I always end up shaking my head about how sad the field of biology is.
It's because man always judges intelligence based on human standards, which is completely idiotic. It would be like me (as a programmer) judging an English professor as an idiot because he doesn't understand code. I'm sure from the perspective of elephants, we're pretty fucking stupid at being elephants. Our intellect isn't well suited for their life style and vice versa.
In short, you're right...human hubris is nearly unbounded. It's very convenient though; we don't have to respect other life on this planet so we can exploit it without regard.
I guess I trust that Snowden is smart enough to know that if complained about stuff he wasn't ever supposed to know about that he would be in deep shit. He could be fired at the least and even brought up on charges of spying.
Seriously? Fuck off. I was responding to someone who said the NSA hasn't responded to these allegations. They don't need to respond because they did before he ever said anything.
There's a big difference between being a sysadmin at the NSA where information is purely on a need to know basis and being a sysadmin at Target. It's a completely different world.

How exactly is the Fed impoverishing the nation? Low taxes and high spending are impoverishing the nation -- not the Fed.

It doesn't eliminate a damn thing since these devices ALWAYS come with a charger. So they will all gather dust in a drawer anyway.

You do realize that Apple's lighting adapter is superior to the micro USB crap in almost every measurable way? All this does is reduce competition.
Would it make you feel better if it were a messenger bag?
That's odd, I keep literally dozens of tabs open in it all the time and haven't had it crash on me for as long as I can remember.

It is small...compared to a brontosaurus. Everything's relative.

This is why it's better to learn how to speed read the old fashioned way. If I need to slow down for something, it's not a big deal.
Apparently you don't read much. Speed reading is well worth the time for anyone who likes, or has, to read a lot.

Really clever /s, but that's not something they are asking to be compensated for.

Nice strawman.
He doesn't need to know what the data contains or know the legal basis under which it's collected to do his job.
Seriously? Fuck off. I was responding to someone who said the NSA hasn't responded to these allegations. They don't need to respond because they did before he ever said anything.
I didn't arbitrarily define anything. The rules regarding confidential government information are well known and you can fucking google it.

You don't just read email for fun at the NSA. Do I really need to explain this to you?
