I buy DVD's and BlueRays. I like to own the "Right to Use" the content. I like not to have to rely on a given provider to have a contract to to stream content in order to be able to watch to something. I will watch some shows and movies multiple times. So for a certain core set up media I want to own the media. All that crufty back catalogue of movies and shows that is no longer available on streaming services, mine to see at any time of my choosing.
I even ( GASP ) buy actual books from time to time, it seems as though there is SOME content not yet kindlified, that may in fact never be on those platforms.
The streaming / sharing / caring economy will eventually strip you of any remaining un-curated choice in what you read, watch, or listen to.
Seems as though there is some music not published the day before yesterday thats worth listening to. So yes I own many hundreds of CD's as well.
Exactly the point I was making. You have a right to drive ( this is actually a privilege, not a right ) . Doing so on public streets will expose you to scrutiny, sometimes you may be found to be dangerous.
This is why we have police patrolling not simply waiting in a depot to be dispatched.
This is the online equivalent of driving a patrol car around watching for people that need to be spoken to. People driving weaving back and forth in a lane are exercising their rights. When stopped, they are sometime found to be DUI. People often post things on Facebook that are the equivalent of "Lets go do some crimes". Post publicly... walk down the street... uh what exactly is the difference?
Whats your age? Your Birthday? Martital Status? Names of any children you might have....
You sort of live in the public's eye, but not really. I know you are a work in tech, but try to pretend to have some empathy for a moment.
* Purely a rhetorical device, no one wants to stalk you.
Please read Saint Regan's testimony about Iran-Contra... you may find a few I don't recalls there.
There were BTW some rather public statements about personal mails being redacted from the trove.
I'm sure Scooter Libby could recount some episodes of obfuscation and information mis management.
Are we under the impression that Next President Clinton is the only politician to mis handle information?
If that is really the best scandal you can come up with... well its just does not rise any where near the appropriate level.
If the voters will return Boy George to White House after falsifying intelligence and sending the US to an unnecessary and permanent war....
wellI I don't think an email server is going to cut the controversy mustard.
Wait. You read something about the actual event? Are you new here? you are supposed to simply gen up your opinion organ and twist the HEADLINE to your preconception. Try again.
The next time you need help make sure sure you call a hacker, they are always virtuous.
Remember every police office is some low IQ sadist, yes yes they are.
123 police killed in the line of duty in 2015,( http://www.nleomf.org/facts/of...) thats ok they all had it coming.
Of course every one of the 985 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2015/12/26/a-year-of-reckoning-police-fatally-shoot-nearly-1000/) people killed by the police were angels on mercy missions, shot down deliberately by the blue minions from hell.
Lets see 11.2 million arrests in 2014 https://www.fbi.gov/news/stori...
So that's a failure leading to death of the arrestee of.00879% of the time, not getting hysterical over a tiny failure rate nope.
Where is the frantic indignation for the 16,000 homicides http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastat...
we don't care about them as they were killed by their fellow victims of police brutality?
Or the 38,300 traffic fatalities? ( http://www.npr.org/sections/th...), we don't care about them because they must have all been killed by accidents caused by police chasing peace loving missionaries?
I wonder why I have never been shot? Could it be that I follow directions, and lawful orders of the police?
Oh yes that war is coming. There is no good way to predict what the world will look like after the 30 or so years it will take to fight and rebuild after it.
The last World War ended the then current "world order". Part one 1914 - 18 finally ended the European monarchies.
Part two seems to have shifted the political focus to a three way balancing act US, Europe, USSR.
But did finally answer the question of "What is Germany's place on the European stage".
That wave is finally attenuating.
By the time the debris stops falling from the next World War we may very well be back to manufacturing jobs performed by humans.
The "inexorable progress of history" you envision has had a few episodes of some pretty profound back slides.
Its possible that the pinnacle of tech in a 100 years is the blacksmith that is able to forge engine block mined from the wreckage of the vanished cities
Oh why mention it?
Because the original story mentions it.
I quote:
"but we'll probably see more with the success of Hulu's exclusive U.S. distribution of Misfits or Netflix's success with Buffy and Doctor Who. On the other hand"
Notice that the conversation STARTED with a Buffy mention.
Lies! Lies!
They had at least three robots ( Joyce's Boyfriend, creepy guys love 'bot, Buffy 'bot), one Cyborg/Demon villain, aaaaand a freeze ray.
If Captain Horatio Hornblower in space ( Start Trek TOS ) can be called SciFi, then I have enough things that go ping! to call Buffy SciFi.
You had me at Buffy.
Netflix is producing Buffy?
When, how, who?
Somebody take my money, now.
Please don't suck.
A quick search on this subject reveals nothing informative, does any one have any details?
You may believe that you 'get code'. But clearly you do not. there have been more than a few attempts to make common objects flexible enough so that even you can stack them on top of each other to make applications. They are unwieldy and create poorly performing applications.
Yes I have been in that exact situation. I spent 12 years working in the restaurant business. The last few as an Executive Chef running hotel kitchens in the Bay Area. Trust me the very very worst day anyone ever had in any cube farm anywhere (that did not involve a disgruntled individual with a gun), is better by far than most good to so so days in the kitchen. Try washing dishes at 0400 in the morning on New Years day because you have to get the kitchen pout back together from the NYE parties for the breakfast crew... knowing that your next will last 18 hours and you last one was 24. Try regularly going to work on a Thursday morning and not seeing the outside of the hotel until Sunday evening.
Eeew boring and tedius, you poor bastard. I am sooo glad I work in IT now, this is the worst IT job I have ever had and it is still better than every restaurant job ever.

Of course its wrong, the correct answer is of course to run OpenBSD.

This will assist them in their budding mental hygiene program to prevent thought crimes, and of core protect "intellectual" property.

SDI continues today. Helping to bankrupt the USSR and avert the Warsaw Pact vs NATO blood fest seems to be a net good.
