Right now you have many companies who have differing levels of protection. This would be akin to each state being in charge of its own military. Ideally, by pooling said resources a better overall military/defense could be formed. Redundancy removed, funds freed up for more high level prevention.
Of course, that is being optimistic. Pessimistically, they'll agree to combine all their funds, use 10% (90% to bonuses for thinking of this savings) of it for this venture, outsource it to a company in India, who outsources it to China, who out sources it to South Korea (which gets linked to North Korea and sold to Russia), who out sources it to a vocational school in Seattle.
Perception of martyrdom. He knew he was being targeted, but didn't go into hiding. He talked a subject that many would have shied away from out of fear.
The question is that if he stood up intentionally, or just thought these threats were more buffs. Either way, he took on the subject and died. At this point his intent doesn't matter. He's now a symbol in the way Che is.
Death rattle, but could be an annoying one. Three scenarios:
1) Last ditch effort to survive. 2) Start lawsuits, adds potential value due to potential win/settlement. 3) They are already going down, already going bankrupt, maybe they can drag down some of those who helped put them in this spot in the process.
Something that worries me about what we are doing.
How much oil/fossil resources have we used? How much of the readily available metal ores have we used? Fossil fuels, in time, could redevelop. But the metals? The coppers, the iron, the rare earth metals wouldn't just magically regenerate over time. We are screwing any like successors to the human race (if we fail) in how easy they can develop their own early metalurgy.
We might not be the only sentient, science producing species that evolves on this world. We might be the last that has a chance to escaping this world and spreading life.
You say that now. They'll find a solution for not logging on. Don't forget they were trying to make a Google OS for desktops before Android took off. Look at the Android model and ask yourself just how fast a new desktop OS could spread.
XP is going to be soon out dated. People still using XP are either on the cheaper end of the PC spectrum or not-nerds capable of upgrading to anything better at this point. Google has enough design saviness that they could compete on that battlefield with Apple, but with cheaper hardware. Vendors will be given a free OS that won't cut into their margin if they promote it over Windows.
You then would see computer by computer slowly require logging into a Google account to use because Google is Google, and they want to help you use their cloud services easier. Google would be your domain server at home.
I believe some are still hoping that the Congress can be reasoned with, or that SOPA is designed to be the bone thrown to us to make up for the NDAA. Kind of a "Oh look, you guys convinced us on SOPA! What a good little constituency. See, we listen to you. Yes we do, yes we do. Now go in the corner and sit for a while."
Reminds me of a court case in my Media Law class in college.
Judge tries to issue an UK style super-injunction on a case. I forget which one. The press are allowed in, but no one is allowed to mention anything that goes on in the court. Local paper reports that the Judge is trying this tactic. He holds reporters in contempt. It goes to court.
The ruling we were taught was this: The judge's actions were deemed unconstitutional, but the reporters were still liable to be in contempt. They still disobeyed a judge's orders and did not fight them thought he proper channels.
I'll come out and say it. I went to Penn State. Maybe this in part explains the whole Sandusky thing.
Devil's advocate, and one of the reasons I think the constitution needs an updating for the modern age. Sadly, I'm afraid to let people currently in charge do such a rewrite.
4th amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizures. It says nothing about not letting you on said mode of public transportation that is technically merely subsidized, and thus faux-public, that you need to go to work. You can invoke your fourth, but don't expect to be getting to work on time.
You can be surprised what you can get through without injury. My sister was in a crash that totaled her car. Flipped at least once, hit an embankment, speeding on an old dirt road, down hill, in winter. The only injury she received was to her feet from running to get help in her bare feet as she lost her shoes in the wreck.
She also hadn't been buckled in. Her car flipped at least once, like this. When her car quit sliding on its roof she was in the back of the vehicle, laying where her hatchback rear window used to be. Crazy dumb luck.
Like my sister, it doesn't look like the car came to a dead stop according to the article, and looking at the car it doesn't appear he hit the ledge dead on (or it was a small ledge). So it was a (relatively) glancing blow and did not cause a dead stop.
There is some way to test for it. A company in my state just got busted for running an injection well at high enough pressures for three months that their well casing broke.
The economist/optimist in me says on the earthquakes -> casing cracks that wells could still be run. It would take due diligence to have monitoring equipment, shutting the equipment down after a threshold level of X was met and inspection performed. There is a way to minimize the risk.
The realist in me that was despairing in that post remembers burning rivers and the gulf coast.
The Internet shouldn't be a right, but it is tempting to declare it one as without it many peoples would be stuck under misinformation/oppression they would not have other ways of fighting.
I see the the Internet as kind of the 21st century's "right to bare arms". You do not need a gun to live your life well. You can trust your government to protect you. You can feed yourself through farming, fishing, trapping, etc. Both can enable rights and be used to remove them.
I used to say the same thing, but I plan on looking at it more closely in the coming months. I want to see how much of Obama's spending is investment and how much is "waste". The US's infrastructure is falling apart. Reducing to a household analogy, there is a difference between house debt and bar debt.
However, having to switch to walking/bicycling to your job because you refused to get your car repaired to save money hampers income prospects no matter which debt you are paying off.
Oh no, no lobbyists here. Just paid company advisers/historians who may make occasional mentioning of their day job while entertaining friends after hours off the clock.
Stuff like this is why I have no idea how you fight this sort of thing. The average person doesn't care. The people I talk about this to in RL look at me and ask what the problem is as it would never be them that gets targeted. Oh no.
All of this has gotten so bad that you look like a tin hat wearer just trying to explain what is going on now.
I live in PA about three hours from this place. Different geology in both places. This region has been drilled repeatedly in the past for less deep deposits of natural gas, it has been swiss cheesed by traditional mining, it sits on/near a weakened portion of the North American Plate that was buckled. Squeeze a flat sheet of cardboard box till buckles, that is what caused the Appalachian Mountains.
Of course, therein lies the problem. Is it fracking, the ice age recovering or natural processes being amplified by the localized plate stress mark? The same three core reasons fracking could be doing more harm here than other places also could be the cause themselves.
Though mark my words, even if fracking is found to be completely faultless the anti-frackers will start claiming "the earthquakes might damage the wells and cause pollution!"
Another thing I want to know is due to the "Will it run Crysis?" meme/rep, how many of those downloads were to test their systems as opposed to actually playing?
Register for now. If Ron Paul wins I suspect Iowa will join the growing trend of needing to register months in advance, require a photo ID, can only register at approved locations with populations of a certain size after giving a DNA sample and a bi-weekly drug test.
Sorry, nm, I was looking a decade into the future if the trend continues.
Namecheap may not be astroturfing, but they are putting out the word/cause.
I can't say if it is for business reasons or if they are drinking from the same water cooler as the rest of the anti-SOPA crowd. Namecheap might be one of the few GoDaddy is targeting as Namecheap is proclaiming that you should transfer not only to be against SOPA but to save endangered wildlife from GoDaddy.
I thought they got to #1 by a two pronged method: 1) Relatively cheap 2) By being the most BRAWNDOTASTIC company around with bikini babes and their CEO riding around on a custom Orange County Chopper when he isn't hunting down elephants personally.
I think part of the problem is that the world is recovering.
Post-WW2? China was a piddling country recovering from being ravaged by Japan and colonial powers. Total war had left Europe in pieces. And so forth. The U.S. and Russia were the big players as the U.S. was untouched by war on its lands and Russia had been (mostly) shielded by its Winter. The rest of the world has either recovered or has begun rising to the standards of everyone else, thus exaggerating the "fall" of the U.S.
However, I am not so nationalistic to deny that there isn't a fall. Heck, when you have two men stealing an entire bridge to sell as scrap the stories you used to think of a third world only become worrying.
Maybe they are angry for the same reason I am. We had a space program that was scrapped instead of trying to fix it for politics reasons. These are the guys we were going to bum off of.
It is like we sold our Hummer because of the pathetic gas mileage with plans on getting a hybrid, decided the hybrid cost too much, and the best idea would be to pay out neighbor gas money to ride along in his duct-tape on wheels mobile.
My company's policy is that any out of hours call to an hourly employee is a "call in". The minimum time for that type per day is three hours. Per day. On the other hand, I've once had them contact a family member to come over to my apartment and yank me out of the bathtub during "emergency".
Some of this, such as the wiretapping cellphone case, has been overturned. I believe. This is just off the top of my head. I'm sure there is more for real cynics with time to list.
Sorry to insult your mother, but if it really took her too years to learn how to turn her computer on, she is retarded. My suspicion is that you are just talking smack about your mother in an attempt to make a point.
Yes, not the full story to prove a point. No, she isn't retarded, just differently motivated.
She isn't retarded. She is of the mindset that bragging and purposefully being ignorant of how computers work is a blessing and proof that she is "down to Earth". She feels anything implying intellectualism in a person is snobbish and a sign they have no lives. This includes doing any reading other than the newspaper.

It all comes down to how it works.
Right now you have many companies who have differing levels of protection. This would be akin to each state being in charge of its own military. Ideally, by pooling said resources a better overall military/defense could be formed. Redundancy removed, funds freed up for more high level prevention.

This is one of the advantages Steve Jobs had.
He knew design. He could communicate to some degree with programmers. His closed garden approach left something to be desired, though.
I believe some are still hoping that the Congress can be reasoned with, or that SOPA is designed to be the bone thrown to us to make up for the NDAA.

Sorry to insult your mother, but if it really took her too years to learn how to turn her computer on, she is retarded. My suspicion is that you are just talking smack about your mother in an attempt to make a point.
Yes, not the full story to prove a point. No, she isn't retarded, just differently motivated.
She isn't retarded. She is of the mindset that bragging and purposefully being ignorant of how computers work is a blessing and proof that she is "down to Earth". She feels anything implying intellectualism in a person is snobbish and a sign they have no lives. This includes doing any reading other than the newspaper.
