  1. ...this so-called president is an idiot who is in waaaaaaaaaaaay over his head.

    and he keeps getting attention - does he deserve it?
    If so, why?

  2. if you don't give me the red marble you have right away, I will destroy your sand castle you just built in our sand box....

    Kids at play - still....

  3. ...

    You think they should announce to the world all the vulnerabilities they've found so those means can be closed? ...

    ...

    Maybe - so what did those WikiLeak dumps accomplish and who paid the price? Normal folks getting their machines encrypted!
    And why? Because those known holes are not plugged to have maybe _some_ advantage there over others.

    And - if the code is leaked, what about the data collected? Who owns them, who gets them for good money maybe and for what can they be used?
    Trust anyone in that clandestine scene?

    Nobody wins in that game, so why play it?

    Every other day something comes up what the spooks are doing and boohooo. Anything else new there?

    Just keep flaming me.

  4. This type of shit should stop! What else is hidden from public by those goons?
    Do they have any decency? Probably not, needs a certain character to feel superior and protect the country....

    or, don't even think about it further and do the job, because you have to make a buck and live.

    That's how all those popups, nagging ads and other crap comes to life - or that's how the system works, not necessarily for the benefit and enjoyment of the guy/gal at the end of the line.

    The mental consequences of constantly blocking out are not researched.

    I never liked the store anyway - too posh and the people attracted by this. There is now one in the city I live for half a year or so, I never went there.

    Not a Health-Food store, but Trader Joe beats it by miles.

  8. Has any POTUS done this before?

    From my silly point - does he not stir in a wasp net? Anyone blocked will go elsewhere and complain about it, just adding to the anti-T sentiment or polarize the whole scene. The pro-T folks will approve and gather momentum that way and the anti-T folks gather moment too.
    Who will win, we will see..

    How this whole theater evolves is interesting. Aren't people getting tired of this show yet? One thing, another thing and over again.
    Somewhere I heard that serious legal guys are working to get this all ended....

    A NOSE FOR ODORS
    What do dogs have that we don't? For one thing, they possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million in us. And the part of a dog's brain that is devoted to analyzing smells is, proportionally speaking, 40 times greater than ours.

    from: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/n...

    A dog's nose sure is longer than a humans...

    If you look at a dog looking out of the window of a driving car - the activity is mainly smelling, seems to me dogs live in a world of smells rather visible objects.

  14. How have you been on /. as long as your ID implies and never learned the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation?

    "Apple is exploring cutting-edge technologies that would allow iPhones and iPads to be powered from further away than the charging mats used with current smartphone"

    To charge a cell phone over the air - receiving a couple of 100 mA by radio waves in a room with your cell - maybe within 20' distance - you'll need either a concentrated beam to which you expose your cell or have the whole room covered with a very strong RF field maybe similar what the exposure to your head is when listening to your phone which transmits about 1 Watt when sending, which affects your brain:

    Companies are only motivated by maximizing profit not by what is good or bad for people or environment

    Depending where you land @ Comcast - ornery seems to be the right term....

    I am suing in small claims court by them being totally obnoxious and their - well, probably legal staff - is cocky.
    Will see what the outcome is.

    Seems that corporations make rules right now (or since the beginning of time, just bigger and bigger now) to their advantage and the small guy/gal has to swallow and see how to deal with it.

    The automatic process is, if there is no insight on their side, they rack up your bill and then forward it to a collection agency - in this case they are using http://www.windhampros.com/ - all those nice kiddies coming up on their site and how great they are... Hope they get burnt in my case.

    Problem is that you have to be quick to file at court if Comcast does business in your county - once it's at the collection agency, far far away, forget about small claims court and deal with endless phone calls talking to people in maybe far away countries and try to cut a deal....

    A basic question is, if a large corporation can even remotely be customer-friendly? Their rule set is purely profit maximization driven and somebody pays for that.

  24. Dilemma Solution on Evidence That Robots Are Winning the Race for American Jobs (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If Robots take away jobs from humans, the (Robot "employee") work need to be severely taxed and the tax income put into a fund to support humans loosing their income.

    This will take away the incentive to prefer and use robot work over humans and help the transition to a workable solution..

    Will this fly - nope because the system is purely profit-driven and humans are just a means to create more profit for the "higher cast" and dropped when a cheaper method is available.

    This is seen by outsourcing jobs and production to cheaper wage and production environments.

    Are there laws to hold corporations socially responsible? Sure not in the USA, maybe somewhere in North-European countries where people live a happier life and people think more about common well being affecting everyone as compared to regular capitalistic or totalitarian structures where the "right" religion is instilled from birth on and every change brutally repressed and eliminated.
