Kevin Douche obviously took Goldilocks and the Three Bears very seriously back in kindergarten, which was apparently last week. Not too little information, not too much information...just enough information.
I was a stand in security and abuse coordinator for a little less than a year at Time Warner Cable. All it took was a subpoena faxed to the office for us to hand over any data request. A lot of times cops would get pissed because a police letterhead fax wasn't enough, but it takes no time to get a subpoena. Police would try to say they were afraid the data could get purged if they didn't get it now, versus a few hours from now which is BS. I would tell them I already pulled the requested data and had it right in front of me so no worries about it being purged, they were not amused.
If any expansion of power is needed it should be the ability to have a request to hold data while a subpoena is processed. That is a simple answer, but the government isn't interested in simple answers its intent is to chip away at privacy so it can do whatever it wants whenever it wants.
You may have a point. I always found it interesting how the government flips shit about child porn pictures, yet we hear very little of actually catching the people who make the child pornography. I mean, how many people have the feds arrested for having child pornography where the result of that arrest ended with the subject child being rescued from whomever was taking the pictures? It's not like I feel bad for the scum bags being arrested, but if we are doing this ''for the children'', are we actually directly saving any children?
This would be like saying that all phone providers need to record all Americans phone call 'content', just in case the government wanted to investigate you for something at a later date.
The moon is of no real value militarily or non-militarily today, but years down the line it will be. When population and energy resources get to a critical point on Earth there will be one of two things, War or Space. Going back to the moon was a great idea and having a base on the moon would be an even better idea, but that will not happen anytime soon. Mars will not happen for quite some time and will likely end in epic disaster stalling space expansion in general even longer. Not utilizing the moon is like Columbus being expected to launch Sputnik without provoking a European age of exploration first.
Oh no not a Republican, I guess we can ignore everything he says then. Even though you point out he uses facts and draws conclusions from those facts we can't consider his point of view because he has an imaginary R at the end of his name. If you disagree with TFA then disagree with it, don't just not like someones politics and therefore dismiss TFA out of hand.
I'm going to try to inject as little politics into this as I can.
If there are 80,000,000 single family homes in the US, wouldn't it have been a far better use of that non-sense stimulus money (if it was to be spent at all) to buy a net metered solar system for all those homes? The US spent 1.2 T dollars on nothing. If you re-routed existing solar related federal funds to this program as well the feasibility gets even better. This would have created 'green' 'high tech' jobs while which makes everyone happy. This would have cut our 400,000,000,000 dollar oil trade deficit over time since energy demands would decline and domestic sources would make up more of a percentage of what we use. This would also please the global warming crowd by reducing C02 over time. Conservative minded people would not like the money being spent at all, but if it were to be spent this would be the most palatable (you could also tie in some opening of oil fields in currently locked out places to sweeten the deal). If people are still uncertain about the math, we spent 5.xx T in the past 2 years total so it's not like there isn't a piggy bank, but I think the stimulus and related funds would be enough.
You might want to start by not insulting the majority of the population that is spiritual.
It's like saying:
"Hey, I think you're a fucking idiot for praying to an entity that doesn't exist. I also blame you for it being so hot right now. Now I know you don't believe any of this, but If you could fork over 20% of the money you have for the next few decades that would be great."

The gambler was playing the game as it was presented by the casinos with no knowledge of changing or changed configurations. In this case he again 'played the game as it was presented' and would be entitled to all his winnings. There was a case like this with video Keno where a RNG chip was not set or installed properly on the machines. The player was using chaos theory math to find the next outcome and hit more than a few jackpots in a row before the game was shut down. What the 'math whiz' actually stumbled on was that each night the keno machines were turned off and the RNG would start at the beginning of the same extremely long string of numbers. No chaos theory or math needed.
The outcome was that the man 'played the game as it was presented' and was entitled to his winnings.
Sorry about the gambling links, but this is the story.
Link: http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/content/how_to_beat_keno.htm B.
Another way this could go is if the player had inside knowledge like a programmer telling him what combination of buttons to press to exploit the software. I had read of this happening and since the game was altered to change the outcome there was no entitlement to the winnings.
C.
One story that I disagreed with the outcome to was a man (perhaps the same from example B, I don't remember) who did not have access to the particular casinos systems as he didn't work their, but wrote a program to predict the Keno outcome. It took a while, but he did finally win some big money and it was determined that he wasn't entitled to it because he used a computer program to 'guess'. If that computer program was taken from his 'old casino job' then fine, but if he just wrote a program and played the game he should have been entitled to the winnings.
Do they know the difference? Do they care? If you assume the police will restrain themselves then you missed the point of my posting, the point of TFA and the intent of the state to erode personal rights.
So if the police can search not only the phone in a physical sense, but check the data on the phone or even remote connections to data not on my phone, doesn't that mean other items that 'access property' could be seen the same way? I have keys to my car and house those items are 'on my person' and can access my car (information) and my house (more information). Setting a precedent like this is not far fetched, I mean look at the new health care law (like it or love it) the federal government says it can make every US citizen buy a product because the precedent comes from the federal governments ability to regulate trade between states.
The constitution couldn't foresee computers or the internet (not that it needed to), but look at what the government does with individual rights when there is perceived uncertainty about peoples rights as it relates to data, we have none.
This is a slippery slope.
You don't think the government will step in and regulate that for the 'good of the people'? As soon as you implement your plan then it's your turn to be regulated into oblivion.
Are you people serious? Obama put fuckers in control who want to do far worse than this nudge towards government regulation. You are getting fucked in the ass by Obama and your looking back at him as he does it and say he's powerless to stop it and it's not his fault.
You thought for a second Obama wanted less regulation of ANYTHING? Look who Obama put in power. They are all about heavy regulation of every communication. Your savior said he would rape you and you rub your ass as though you didn't fucking know it was going to happen.
The problem with your argument is that the 'left' left you out to dry, this how they work. As far as equal rights for 'Negros', that was very supported by the 'right' as in Republican party. JFK voted against civil rights legislation along with most of the Democrat party. Communism is an abysmal failure to the extent that if you try to jump right to it like the USSR it can only be ran with totalitarianism and millions being 'purged', and it still fails. If you have the slow progression of communism from capitalism like Europe the countries go broke before they can even make their way through one major economic downturn. Oh, and Europe is now dialing back their socialism since they already ran out of other peoples money. Go to college until your 30 and then retire at 45, go figure.
Single payer health care? Are you for real? We don't even have the watered down version in full effect and masses of companies are exempted so they don't drop millions of peoples' health plans. Single payer along with medicare, medicade and SS would kill the US in short order. Where did HMO's come from? The government. The government causes the problem, then comes to the rescue with the answer.
Keep your Acorn organizing bull shit away. Unions bankrupted their members pension funds, Obama made sure to route billions to them. Obama give anyone here with a 401k a check for what you lost? Well, maybe your 401k fund administrator should have gave hundreds of millions on electing Obama instead of trying to make money for you.
Obama got almost everything he pushed for in his first 2 years. The people didn't like the shit that came out the first two years and now the people have removed some of Obama's power. I doubt Obama will compromise too much, although that will get him removed from office. If Obama worked with Republicans the Democrats would hate him for it, but they will vote for him anyways and in two years some of the 'middle' might forget why they started to not like him.
I hope he gets removed next election, he's a twit. There has to be Democrats or Republicans that can do something useful for the country.
I worked for Time Warner Cable and Verizon (Fios) and I can tell you that Time Warner's favorite quote to customers is "it's UP TO those speeds Mam/Sir". Non techie people would constantly complain of issues. I mean it wasn't until a few years ago that an official NOC was put in place and the network was actually monitored. The ''up to'' loophole is an ISP standard, but after working at Verizon I can say they at least have technology that normally tests a hair above the customers cap. When a company sells a 20x5 connection and gets a 20x5 connection (even to off vz network), that might be some slight hope.
The funny thing is that the Feds were not going to let Verizon upgrade to their fiber network. The Feds were more concerned with controlling Verizon with SLAs than technology being upgraded. Feds point of view was they would rather control that 20 yr old copper wire than see Verizon have unregulated fiber. Verizon finally caved and Feds regulated the fiber too.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have a hard-on for Verizon itself which is why my working for them in past tense. The company, Union and Feds all deserve each other I just wish we weren't paying for all of them to dick each other over.
OJ Simpson wrote a book on how he committed the homicides so I think it's safe to say he did it.
The Justice system in the US is unable to punish real criminals because of political ideology and incompetence and that's why our prisons are full of low level offenders. Every time you walk out your front door you are constantly breaking laws, it's just a matter if the government gets pissed at you and decides to throw you in prison.
I'm sure humans, all humans, could live far better than Americans live now with innovative thinking.
Energy is the key. Resources can be recycled over and over again if we have enough energy.
Or we can drink soy milk rations in our new socialist dictatorship, while sacrificing SUV's to the AWG god. That sounds kind of sucky since I doubt they would have chocolate soy milk which is actually quite tasty.
If you want to spend YOUR money on AGW feel free. If you want to NOT VOTE, your call.
Why is it progressive thinking people are always interested in what views they can impose on the public?
We have been told countless times that we are 'near the point of no return' on AGW and have surpassed that point by some of the more extreme climate evangelists. If it has really been so dire for so long that we do something 'now, now, now'...and did nothing; why do you still want my money?
Okay, I actually read TFA (don't worry only enough to make a snide comment).
If properly employed -- and connected to a large network of similar computers -- it could be used to map out the aftermath of an earthquake quickly, speeding up the work of emergency responders and potentially saving lives.
Maybe I haven't thought this though, but if there was an earthquake might it not bring the local ISP down? Power, infrastructure damage, etc. would really make this unreliable. It's like when the power goes out in your town and everyone waits for the first person to say something stupid like "The air conditioning isn't working and it's going to be hot, well I guess we should put some box fans in the windows. Hey, can someone check on the computer and see whats going on?"

Something tells me you wont get a great response.
On the flip side you could have been buying at that point and got a great deal. Bet your glass would be half full then.
