Although, that will depend on your application, and what you want to use it for. I just needed a bunch of icons that I could click for controlling a robot. I didn't do any browsing or text editing.
Until then, consider this another money pit at taxpayer expense.
Considering you can do all this stuff for free today, with Kismet and/or aircrack-ng stuff, with a cheap USB dongle . . . yes, it is a waste.
Oh, FTF Link:
L8NT's patent pending methodology strips the M.A.C. addresses from packet headers and compares them to the M.A.C. addresses of known stolen devices in its database.
Just because the FBI says they cannot crack it . . . doesn't mean that our feathered friends in the NSA can't crack it. Or, maybe the FBI *can* crack it . . . but don't want it generally know, that they can crack it.
When you crack an enemy's code . . . you don't want to let it known. Otherwise, they will switch to a stronger code.
Other "Wet Work" methods could be used in this case: the FBI could bribe or blackmail the right Apple sysadmin.
Actually, it's just like pork and chicken . . . you just need to be careful to cook it long enough.
The best way to prepare sunscreen, is to rub it all over your exposed body parts, and then lie out in the sun for a long time. When it is well-done, lick it off your exposed body parts.
You might get some strange looks from others out in the sun, but it's delicious.
It's really a shame. Islamic scientists and scholars made some really great contributions to mathematics, way back when. If you get a chance, go to see the Alhambra palace in Grenada, Spain. The architecture just literally takes your breath away. The Romans decorated their baths with frescoes of naked woman. Because Islam frowned on this, the Muslims decorated the walls with interesting geometric patterns.
Why those Muslim folks died out, or were killed off, is really a shame.
You seem to be stepping on your own argument. First you say that muslims want to kill you if you don't do what their religion believes and in the very next sentence you say that a muslim woman has no problems if people around her don't do what her religion believes.
Did I say that the woman was Muslim? I did not. An she's not. I just said that she doesn't drink alcohol for religious reasons . . . which doesn't make her Muslim. She's a Baha'I. A religion that is seriously persecuted against in an "An Islamic State". Folks who are Baha'I in Iran cannot go to universities, cannot get jobs in the public center, etc., etc.
And just to make myself clear: your statement that muslims want to kill you if you don't support their beliefs is absolutely wrong..
Google on Islam and left-handedness and Islam, and see what the Muslims really want to do.
Ahh... Here is the catch. You're differentiating between one type of Turks and another type of Turks now? You didn't do that before, did you? The thing is, before you were wrong! Not all the Turks are the same. You're quite right that the same thing spoken by one person will ot have the same meaning as when spoken by someone else.
There are Turks that will tell you that they are Turks . . . and there are Turks that will tell you that they are Muslims. That's the difference. Try traveling to there sometime and work with them to see the difference.
As to the rest of your comments, Palestinians celebrate terrorist attacks in Israel by passing out sweet pastries on the streets. After the 9/11 attacks they had a big party, and celebrated like a hoot and a half . . . until the one Palestinian politician decided that it was maybe not such a good idea.
When I was in Egypt on business, I was instructed not to use my left hand for writing . . . since that would be a reason for the local religion police to kill me. I tried to write on a white board with my right hand, but it just didn't work. When I was in Turkey giving a course at a University, the professors did not mind that I used my left hand.
Islam is incompatible with liberal democracies. You can argue it, dice it and slice it . . . but when push comes to shove . . . it just doesn't work.
That is like saying that you know people who's religion is Christianity but they don't call themselves Christians.
Yes, I do know a lot of folks whose religion is Christianity . . . but if you ask them who they are . . . they will say, first and foremost, that they are Americans. They will tell you that the Constitution of the US guarantees their right to practice whatever religion they want. But that, more importantly, no one can force their wacky religious views on you. Case in point: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
So if you want a job where serving alcohol is not involved, get another job. Don't try to force your religious views on others. That's the problem with Muslims. If you don't do what their religion believes, they feel obligated to kill you. I know a women from Iran who doesn't drink alcohol for religious reasons. But she is completely happy at parties where some folks drink alcohol, and some folks don't.
Go to any market in Istanbul. You will have a chance to feel honored over and over again.
Oh, a peddler in the Bazaar will drop that comment liberally . . . but it is my experience that older folks in the Turkish IT community use it very conservatively.
When some kook shoots up a US school or movie theater, he will be universally condemned by all Americans, with screams of outrage. When a Muslim terrorist shoots up a train, or the office of a comic book publisher, the Islamic community remains deafeningly silent. I would have hoped that they could have rallied up at least 10 Muslims to protest and chant, "Terrorist acts are not the true Islam!" But no way. That doesn't work. It demonstrates the greater support that the Muslim communities have for the terrorists.
What is extremely sad . . . is the fact that the filthy rich Islamic Oil Gulf states are doing nothing to support the refugees from Syria. The refugees are mostly Muslim, and would have an easier time acclimating to the culture in the Gulf states. But no . . . not even Muslim countries want to take in Muslim refugees . . . because they know how Muslims really are.
Oh, and the US has pooped out, as well. That's interesting. Obama won't touch it, because that would be like shaking a political beaker full of nitroglycerin. The Republicans would be all over him for being "soft" on terrorists. And Donald Trump . . . he seems to be making fine political mileage out of blaming the Mexicans for everything.
At least Trump could show a sense of humor, and "Blame Canada" . . .
The Kurds were dealt a bad hand in life. Their military performance is exceptional. But forces outside of their control have prevented them from getting the support that they deserve.
Number 1 . . . the PKK has "communist" leanings. That doesn't roll well with American Congressional committees that are thinking about giving them support.
Number 2 . . . the Turkish Military has an excellent relationship with the US Army. The PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan was captured by the CIA, who turned him over to the Turks.
So, yeah, the relationship between the Kurds and the US could be a lot better. Maybe this ISIS conflict could be an opportunity for the both of them to get to know each other better . . . ?
Actually, the sad part of this is that a lot of the ISIS fighters are confused kids. The want to buy twelve year old girl slaves at auctions, and have the thrill of shooting weapons and killing people. It's a kick for them. And their Islamic "Scholars" back them up, and say that this is what the Koran and Islam is all about.
I would welcome a loud voice from Muslim protesters saying, "No, this is not what Islam is about!" But I can wait for a long time before I hear a Muslim denounce Islamic terrorists. Muslims blame all the violence on non-Muslims.
I'm not afraid of terrorism . . . I just think that we shouldn't be tolerating it and the folks who do it. If you listened to the words of Francois Hollande after the train attacks, he said stuff like, "Terrorism is part of our daily life now", "We all need to be aware and vigilant", etc., etc.
Sure, this is in part fear mongering. In the US, politicians use this as an excuse to tear away our rights to privacy. But in reality the politicians don't know what to do about terrorism, and so they allow spying on their own citizens to pretend that they are doing something about terrorism.
No, that is a personal decision that everyone can make for themselves. Are you an American? Or are you a Christian who just happens to live in the USA? What laws do you follow? Those of the Bible, the Koran or the US Constitution?
After the Muslim terrorist attacks in Paris earlier this year, French anti-terrorist protesters carried signs stating: "I am Charlie Hebdo!" I recently watched a documentary in French television titled "I am NOT Charlie Hebdo!" They interviewed a bunch of Muslim kids in the suburbs of Paris. They spoke French, but that was the end of their affinity to French culture. They all stated that they were Muslims first, and didn't like living in France at all, and that France needed to change to fit their ideals.
Well, if you don't like France . . . go somewhere else. But don't expect France to be implementing Sharia any time really soon now. I'm also concerned about all the Syrian refugees heading for Germany. They have very high expectations. What will happen, if they get there, and discover that they don't like the place or the culture at all . . . ?
That's a little more than unpleasant. You seem to lack a sense of proportion, which isn't surprising since you sound outraged at the moment.
Well, if I can't take a train from Frankfurt to Paris, without having to worry about some Islamic bat-shit crazy nut-job shooting up the whole carriage with a Kalashnikov . . . yeah, I'd have a right to be outraged.
If folks in the US could not drive to a KFC, Subway or a Seven Eleven without getting sniped at by a Muslim . . . they would probably be angry too.
You're just trolling with bullshit. Nothing to see there...
Well, you are welcome to take in all the Muslim immigrants that you want into your country. When they come up and smack you in the face with the bullshit . . . it's not called trolling anymore.
Beating their wives, killing their daughters for going to school . . . fine folks, these Muslims are.
My personal favorite is what Muslim clerics say should be done with folks who are left handed . . . like me, or ~17% of the populations of civilized countries. I know. The reason for their fear about left handed people is because Muslims use their left hand to wipe their asses, and Muslims are too stupid, ignorant and arrogant to use the "Western" invention of toilet paper. But that is their problem, and not mine. "Boko Haram", indeed: "Western Toilet Paper Forbidden!"
OK, let me pin it on your nose for you, and see if you can understand. Sunni and Shia Muslims have been fighting each other since time began. If they are not busy fighting each other, they will join together to fight any non-Muslims. Like, by shooting up trains, bombing planes, etc.
Show me the Presbyterian Grandmothers from Ohio that do that.
You are welcome to invite all the Muslims you want to live in the country that you live in . . . but you, yourself, will have to deal with the problem later!
I know and work with a bunch of folks whose religion is Islam . . . but they would never call themselves "Muslims" . . . they call themselves Turks. When a Turk addresses you as "My Friend!", he really means it . . . an I always feel honored when I hear that.
On a hilarious Christmas Evening, a colleague from Turkey pinged me online. He needed help with a system of servers. I explained to him that it was Christmas Evening and my girlfriend was cooking dinner in the kitchen, but that I could help him. He asked me, "What is Christmas all about?", and I explained to him as best as I could.
But I told him that me helping him getting his servers running again, was really what Christmas was all about!
Actually, the gag was that the Americans weren't even fighting against the British. The British hired German mercenaries from Hessian to fight for them in the American colonies. If you take a drive outside of Philadelphia, you will find a national park named "Brandywine". They have there a "Hessian Prisoner" in an ice house on display.
The Hessian soldiers had an advantage over the British, because they spoke German , , , like most of the folks around Pennsylvania at that time.
The biggest contribution that France made to the American Revolution, was a private capitalist . . . named DuPont. He supplied the revolutionaries with gunpowder.
And yes, the French navy blockade put a weed up British Lord Cornwalis' ass, and was crucial to the American Revolutionaries victory!
And France gave the US the statue of Liberty! Few folks even know that:-)
Talk to some folks who call themselves "Persian", as opposed to Iranian. Iran was totally screwed up since before the World Wars. In fact, the Russians wanted to move in after WWII since it would have been a pushover, but Harry Truman told the Russians he would drop "the bomb" on them if they did.
The Russians backed off.
Note that the Russians later invaded Afghanistan . . . and had the same success that the US had later.
Muslims? Just leave them alone, in their own country. And do not let them into yours.
Oh, for free? Muslims do the ISIS thing because they the buy teenage sex slaves and kill people, without any reason . . . except that they don't adhere to their abhorrent version of Islam.
If a few Muslims would stand up, and say, "This is not Islam!", it would help a lot. But Muslims won't do that, because they don't want to. They like it the way it is. We get our balls fried at the airport, and they get the free benefits of liberal democracies.
Is there anyone Muslim there that would dare to disagree . . . ?
