I'm afraid that your point, as it pertains to this thread, eludes me. It's pretty damn easy to grow. So if you're good with giving your money away to yet another fucked up company for some marked up schwag then by all means have at it. Most people... will have a choice. One much more flexible than butts and booze by far.
Now, having said that I found myself incredibly annoyed when I shifted off of Palm and onto an Android device. With fat fingers I tried every single keyboard I could find and they all suck with regard to accuracy.
I discovered the 8pen typing app. At first look I quickly brushed it off but after trying yet another half-dozen available variants I gave it a try. Make no mistake - this is for small devices and is somewhat difficult to warm up to. It comes with a game. I played it until I got annoyed and then switched the device's input to it. It makes typing on this device fun. It has a quick 'out' in the form of a qwerty for panic situations but is otherwise the absolute very best option I've found.
It's not a "keyboard" by any measure and more closely resembles the act of writing in cursive with your eyes closed.
I'd be your idiot on a grander scale. I've been required to return every. single. part. of, what was then, a departmental behemoth of a server save the chassis with the pretty purple plastic. Only then, when all components were replaced, did they ship us a full unit. We never did find out what the actual problem was but in the end it worked.
Screw stock, it should work on the customers choice of os.

I went to school with this person. I played football and basketball with this person. I went to parties with this person. Junior was a genuine good person. Genuine. The game did not make him great, his family, upbringing, good sense, hard work, his gifts and his dedication made him great. Football got to experience Junior not the other way around. I'm pretty comfortable saying that you're the selfish one here seemingly thinking you know what the fuck you're talking about and referring to with your accusatory tone and condemnation. Must be a pretty fucking simple world you find yourself in.. If Junior felt the overwhelming need/desire to end his life I can all but guarantee he was not of sound mind and body. No fucking way. I might suggest that you shut the fuck up and show some respect or, minimally, temper your opinion.
Your services are no longer required for the dissemination, enjoyment, artist compensation, contribution and access to music as it pertains to your historic, nay, archaic understanding of communications.
And for this: 'The only music that you can hear for free is when the birds sing,' - You can eat a dick because you're so far out of touch with reality that any nourishment should suffice in getting your brain to understand and comprehend that your pathetic, groveling, ignorant ass does not belong in my communications path.
As it were: the proverbial free-ride is over for middle-men. Business model obsoleted. Distribution mechanisms no longer required. Thank you for your prior service however your continued service is not only a burden to those you've once served but your insistence is becoming intolerable and threatens the ongoing development of global human communications - unfettered, unrestrained, unfiltered person to person private communications.

Wha-hut the #uck is a "full-scale cyber attack"?
'To date, terrorists have not used the Internet to launch a full-scale cyber attack, but we cannot underestimate their intent.'
Can't estimate their intent? Whose intent? Anit-copyrightists or anti-fuckmeanywayyoucanists? You do have firewalls right? Intrusion detection? All security fixes applied? Critical assets properly protected? Lock and key and all that? STOP the BULLSHIT WARS and FOCUS!
Your bureaucratic bitch asses need to walk the fuck back on a lot of fronts. Heaping spoon fools.
Our republic's created and financed bureaucracies need to stop bleeding out our money like insane rabid raccoons stuck with a bullet.
Protect.?.!
How about all you bitches with badges and flag patches start fucking serving? You know who you are. Or are we just that blind? Some might label that a psychological issue and you should entertain checkups.
F.B.I warns congress.. pfft. Congress is just getting their cheeks warmed up and we're going to keep spanking their bitch ass too. Take a number, cunts. How about we start some thinking back inside the box?
Live free or die trying - I fear that I'll be having to try a little bit harder a little bit sooner.
What!? How about a "full-scale" discovery into your founding documents? And feed somebody with my fucking monies or give it back. No more job for you. And you. And you. -- Is it cool to swear on/.? Because I like swearing..fun with letters. Now where the fuck did I put my box?
No complaints apart from hardware and the lack of a tide app.
Contrary to popular spouting off a smartphone doesn't need the Internet except when you need the Internet. How you choose to draw that line should be your choice, not your phone's.
There's no such thing as "rooting". Got root.
Tweaking the thing can bring easy and quick rewards with a tiny bit of css and a tiny bit of html.
I didn't get the fire sale pad but not for the lack of trying.
I had an ipad once - it was a gift - it wanted iTunes on my computer - then it wanted the correct version of iTunes - then it wanted an OSX upgrade - then I lost interest - I traded it for a new suspension kit for my ride. Couldn't be happier. iWhat? Nothing.
What was I... right, I hope that WebOS finds itself a firm footing somewhere, truly I do.
mis-modded - intent underrated not overrated - in a valiant attempt to correct my wrong..
clearly we need more tools, police, laws and criminals in the ongoing battle against evil green plant life.
Someone can have skills and lack the maturity and wisdom to wield them easily enough. It's more of a willingness to engage in a clearly criminal endeavor with those skills that is relevant. He could just as easily have delivered his findings, suggest they shore up, wish them luck and maybe hint that he's looking for a new gig and if they find themselves in need of someone that can shore up then to feel free to drop a message on this anonymous drop box. Gaining access to information is one thing but using that information quite another. The option this guy chose not only exposed himself rather awkwardly but is one quite deserving of a good stint in jail.
Everything I'm turning over is conflating stupid driving with aggressive driving and polluting my results. i.e. aggressive people that are driving drive stupid as in tailgating, rapid changes without clear indicators, running red lights/stop signs.. you know, stupid driving. I suppose the two are not mutually exclusive by any means. The mystery article was aligning the impact measurements on flow and volume and part of it found that the presence of aggressive drivers had a tendency to affect another percentage of drivers in making them aware of the fact that they are as much a part of the solution as the problem. ("oh, I'm going slow" or "I should move over" or "I need to get behind that guy" type of stuff)
But I'll maintain that it's a complicated ordeal when it gets crowded - you have to default to "respect all present parties" until proven unsustainable and you are forced to try and gain advantage from your current position. Wolf packs are dangerous, get through them or stay out of them as much as possible... things like that.
Somebody mentioned situational awareness below - and that is spot on.
and as a passing thought - cuz I don't think I'll come back around -
Always, always, always respect the rigs and their drivers.
until next time, drive safe, drive smart and have fun
I remember it being a rather large scale traffic impact assessment actually. It was not an opinion based anything. I'm not particularly fond of opinions, especially mine own and unless they're mine (I know, I know, it's an eternal internal conflict).
You're going to make me look harder aren't you? pfft
And I would only like you if you got out of the way I think.. or were pretty.. or both.
I'm wishing that I could find the article but, from memory, there was a distinct value add on the overall flow of traffic when a certain percentage were "aggressive" classed drivers. Not to be confused with total dickheads behind the wheel mind you. I would guess that the article that I can not find is about 10 months old or so.
Now then, I would consider myself to be an "enthusiastic" driver which means, at times, one needs the mechanisms inherent to accommodating and maintaining enthusiasm. So, when those licensed idiots (driving idiots - you don't, necessarily, need a license at all to be an idiot in other aspects of life) that
a) see a car in their rear view and do not accommodate flow but choose to set a new pace (read: their own pace)
b) fail to keep their slower than median asses to the right (whenever possible of course)
c) accelerate and decelerate like a stoned mouse on a tread-wheel
d) brake at highway speeds for any of a, b, or c (unless to warn traffic behind you of law enforcement or, obviously, to not crash)
can understand that courteousness is a two-way street you might find yourself becoming a happier driver all around.
Any idiot can do 61 in a passing lane just as easily as every other idiot can pass them on the left.
I'd venture a guess that if you're willing to put up with glitch crashes due to software and not extend the same sort of leeway to glitch crashes caused by wetware that you just might fall into the driver class that deem themselves the protector of lost souls in regulating flow your own way.. but that's just a guess.
In other words, idiocy begets idiots - like rabbits without the fun part.
Free speech is free speech is it not? Important is what important says with no small emphasis on interpretation. It does not, nor should it matter from where free speech originates (nor is how you may or may not interpret said speech relevant(blah blah)). The source of free speech is an individual and whether or not the speaker can be identified or should be identifiable is completely irrelevant. In fact, I would argue that requiring the source of given speech to be identifiable is not only detrimental (in all sorts of ways) but a direct inhibitor to the existence of it at all.
I would find it difficult to disagree with much of anything you've said.
Your starred bits are kinda poinky though.. If the government can hack, lie, cheat and steal... well.. blah blah - gander, goose, feathers whatever. The general population? You're joking right? Hell, anything that can get the general population in motion, for better or worse and I'm interested - however the "branding" does not come from the general population. A not insignificant segment of general populations believe their own governments and law enforcement are the terrorists. And terrorists don't bite - they suck.
On field agents - well - it's a job. National Security.... I've taken that oath and will defend your freedom as quickly as my own. I am of the mind however that one equals one and that field agent has the same value to humanity as the child that will be dead tomorrow. The games are played and pieces are lost - wrong game.
While I think I understand what you're driving at I'm not quite sure I understand your oversimplification of these events. That and your assignment of a generalized 90's adventure grouping of script kiddies is slightly off the mark. Either you're attempting to suppress your inner child and failing, could truly care less, are quite happy with the nonsense of forced consumer news issue number one that is the debt limit, are a self righteous basement virgin your damn self or you're a perfectly content citizen whose mere existence is naught but a passing nuisance of a thought.
A 400MB data file (currently available free of charge), another page of the secret ops book possibly revealed, an implication of access and/or possession of a significant horde of similar data, a picture perfect example of your tax dollar at work, a target whose client list is a majority consumer of that dollar no less and you want "Next..."?
This kind of "Next"?
