We might someday soon talk about sunglasses instead of tinfoil hats.
Why not combine the two . . . ? Tinfoil sunglasses! Actually, I had a pair of those to watch a solar eclipse.
But anyway, this would make a frightening Google Glass application: The glasses would take a facial picture and an iris scan of anyone who got in view of the glasses. This would be a "Bloatware" application, so the "owners" of the glasses would not even be aware, that they are harvesting information for "security" [sic] services.
I really hope I die before all this gets rolled out.
I think they started the whole "designed in America" thing so that people could somehow feel like they give a shit about the country they're headquartered in.
Actually, I bought a Harmon Kardon receiver/amplifier back in the 1970's . . . and it had that same statement stamped on the back . . . "designed in America".
It's sad because 30 years ago when I was a teenager, this sort of stuff would of been great. Now though, I know the reality of the situation, that it's used to track users to harvest information and data.
Unfortunately, I am guessing that health insurers will require you to wear such a device in a few years. Is your heartbeat too fast? Time to cancel your contract, because of the risk of heart attack. Or, do you have nicotine or alcohol in your system?
But my absolute favorite would be:
If you feel you are not properly sedated, call 348-844 immediately. Failure to do so may result in prosecution for criminal drug evasion.
In a developed country, when a ball rolls into the street that you are driving on . . . you hit the breaks, because you know that some children will come running into the street, chasing the ball.
In a Third World country, when a chicken runs into the street that you are driving on . . . you hit the breaks, because you know that some children will come running into the street, chasing the chicken.
Folks in Third World countries like their chickens . . . but they love their children.
Hell, if Bill Gates is having problems giving away his chickens . . . I'll take a couple per week! Rotisserie, in a Burrito, or just plain Fried.
Well, your comment was meant as a joke . . . but let's take a look at reality. Could someone penetrate Hilary's illegal server . . ..? Probably, yes.
Could someone force the dweeb who set the server up into giving away all the credentials? Definitely, yes. You would be surprised what you can be talked into, when someone is holding a blowtorch to your balls.
When kiddies hack a system, they will brag about on Facebook. When professional spooks hack a system, you will probably never hear of it. If you have access to a great source of information, the best thing to do is to keep quiet about it. In that way, you can keep accessing the information.
Depending on who you talk to, folks will say that Churchill knew that Germany was going to bomb Coventry. He decided not to order extra air defenses, because that would have alerted the Germans that their codes had been cracked.
Toss curve balls, screw balls, and sliders at your enemy to confuse them, and get them chasing their own tails.
In any case, this story stinks like a Cleveland Steamer: The Russians break into a DNC computer to steal info about Donald Trump? Give me a break! What did they steal about the Democratic Party?
I ultimately cannot see them doing much useful with it..
Who says that Microsoft wants to do anything with all that data . . . ? Maybe, just maybe, Microsoft is passing all this data on to some folks who CAN do something with all this data . . .
Oh there used to be a Zen test with CMS. IBM's mail system at the time was called PROFS, later OfficeVision. When you ran out of disk space, like when you were on vacation, the mail system refused to process any more messages from your VM "Reader", which was like your in box.
To correct the problem, you needed to create a temporary disk, mount it, and then copy your mail file to there. Then you needed to remount the temporary disk as your "A" disk, and you could proceed.
Of course, you needed to delete all unneeded mail, and copy your mail file back to your real "A" disk, but my memory fails me, and I am not really keen about going through this process again.

So this Schtick is not new to me . . .
Monkey see, monkey do.
Monkey tosses chair out the window . . . ?
WTF is "cosy"?
It's probably been patented, trademarked, and otherwise been declared as Oracle intellectual property.
So don't use the word "cosy" without a proper license contract from Oracle.
Shit . .. . I just wrote "cosy" . . . now I am going to be stoned to death!
Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes Banned From Owning a Lab
But labs are so sweet!
Maybe she could get a beagle instead.
Note that the ruling does not ban her beagle from owning a lab . . .
If his big hack of Hilary was a lie, why is he in jail?
Because he weighs the same as a duck, and therefore, a witch! And he turned Hilary into a Newt Gingrich . . . but she got better.
Or, maybe she didn't . . .?

How in the world did these people get a license to begin with?
Bribes.
He is dead, that is the only fact that cannot be manipulated.
"He's Fred, Jim."
"I'm a doctor, not an escalator!"
We can't have foreign chickens just coming into the country whenever they want.
Aren't chickens on the "no fly" list already anyway . . . ?
Who doesn't like chicken?

Most solar systems only go up to 10 . . . but ours goes up to 11!
If they see what is on television here . .. . I doubt if aliens would respond to us . . . CSI: Mars, indeed . . .
. . . Donald Trump's hair!
Start hoarding canned foods and ammunition . . . this is getting serious!
Well, when push comes to shove . . . no one really cares about you either. Wrap up a hamster in duck tape, and shove it up your ass.
Please post GIFs, or it didn't happen.
I, for one, do care what the POTUS is using. Is it really secure? And audit able?
Cmon' over folks . . . the beer is on me!
Wouldn't a honeypot work so much better? Just send over an attractive woman to throw herself at him.
Is that you, Mr. Assange . .. . ?

They had backup copies of the hard disks . . . but they crashed.
There were backup copies, of the backups, but they have been recycled.
And, last, but not least . . . "I'll take the fifth amendment and my $200,000 per year pension with me."

What do you think about Python . . . ?
My local school has tried to reassure parents by pointing to the double locked doors, the front desk staff, the required sign-ins, etc...
That "school" sounds more like a prison to me.
It's really sad to see that things have come this far.
But maybe we're on to something here . . . maybe we can consolidate schools and prisons . . . ?
Why should they? this argument is so typical American, I don't grasp it.
Yes, sarcasm and irony are very difficult for folks from the Third Word to grasp.
