It's a good thing that in all of American history, no Americans have stooped so low to engage in industrial espionage and that all of the American accomplishments in industry were due entirely to American hard-work and ingenuity on American soil.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It is odd that Chinese people would set such a precedent and open up a dark chapter in civilization. Fuck them. Fuck the Chinese....
Ok... well this has been fun but I gotta go take my meds for being a fucking moron.
And yet none of the technology to implement this is ground breaking or terribly new, and its just integrating a couple things. It's just another feature on the datasheet that any programmer given a decent OCR system (something anybody could buy for years, let alone Canon) and an OS capable of sending email could implement in a few minutes.
I expect the general population to be wowed by this magic.
I also like how this becomes Evil once a large company decides to put a price on it and make whoever wants it pay for it.
Yes users don't always[1] have to set "my first pet's name" to their actual first pet's name, but those sort of questions encourage the particularly exploitable people to do the wrong thing.
The best part are some of the sites that try to "improve" the situation by having you choose your own security question, and then punish you for picking something decent.
I recently signed up for a service, and put in a question and answer, as required, only to find out that my account was locked out for some problem. I call the 800 number to find out that my security question is the problem. Apparently it was too obscure (I picked something that was near nonsense to anybody but me, but pretty easy to remember). So, I simply set it to "What's your pet name" and left it at that.
Lucklly it doesn't matter, because it is just an e-postage account, and I don't plan on using it much anyway, if at all, in part due to the fact that the company (which will not be named here) seems to be run by retards and their implementation of one their main products (selling postage online) sucks ass (they are forever down for maintenance).
If Facebook is now an example of "genius", what word shall we now use to describe actual genius?
And yes, I'm aware that Zuckerberg gets more ass than I ever will, and probably has more than 100 lifetimes of my wealth. My dick doesn't work that well anyway. Question still stands, IMHO.
Having for years been a virtual black-man with a huge dick at the recent TED conference, fucking virtual previously tight-cunt bitches, I must say I don't find this racist. However, WhiteFi??? Really. It just sounds like something baked up at stormfront.org.
In any case, why shouldn't white nationalists have the freedom to develop their own communications standards? There was an article on here recently about Indians creating their own OS, and people didn't seem to start some anti-nationalist crap about that.
Somebody else already said a similar thing, I see.. but...
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... That is a good one.
BTW: Another possible explanation for the reason that the Indian government can't be fleeced to the tune of some other nations is for the same reason that you usually can't steal a million dollars from a homeless person.
You say the majority of your day (I assume working) is spent dealing with spam.
So why do you hate the people that essentially make your paycheck?
You can argue macroeconomic stuff, blah, blah, blah.... that has nothing to do with it... at the end of the day (this day) your current bread on the table is coming from spammers (by your account here)... if there wasn't spam, you as a resource would have to be reallocated.. not saying it wouldn't be... but it isn't today (and there is no one holding a gun to your head to work in your current job.. you could work at CostCo). Right now, as it stands, spam helps your personal bottom line.
Satellite phones predate even Iridium (as mentioned by the other followup).. Iridium was a new way of marketing the technology to be more acceptable (which ultimately failed spectacularly) (and also significantly improving the handset form-factor), but I remember using a suitcase sat phone in the early 90s.
I would have refrained, except I've seen a shitload of bad moderations this morning. I'm glad to see that he wound up with a +5 funny, and equally pleased that the my comment you responded to was modded down. Even though "troll" was a mismod, I found that humorous, as well.
If I were not a ethnically Jewish now secular transhumanist... I would be praying for you.
Any honest "hall-of-shame" for contemporary journalists would be more efficiently represented by a list of who is not on it. (and no kids, it is not necessarily the case that the hall-of-shame and hall-of-fame are complements).
I also like the nice touch of the opacity of the links. I click a link about "Haystack" to get directed to another poorly written snark post light on content with yet another "Haystack" link that will, oh wait, take me back to that same exact page.
Fuck you.
Why is everybody with the surname of Graham that writes on the Internet a self-important self-absorbed douchebag? (And no... I don't consider myself a douchebag, just a crackpot with some severe issues dealing with loss.. thanks). Did Paul Graham witness his wife having anal gangbang with Larry Ellison and Bill Gates? If not, he has no excuse.
No. The point is that one is higher than the other, and therefore of higher priority. Despite what you may believe a PhD/masters classification is not all that valuable and continually becomes less so since it is now pretty much SOP for Indians and Chinese to come here and attain those degrees to increase their chances of staying.
Numerous private American universities in addition to attracting the best and brightest also attract the "have a paycheck" crowd.
You can have a PhD and if you do not get special sponsorship you may still remain on a waitlist forever. EB-1 or other priority categories allow to go to the head of the line so-to-speak.
Yeah, very nice how anyone that bothers to follow your damn link sees how you cherry picked just what would support your stupid self-righteous blabber.
Even if you don't like the wiki links, any half-way decent widely available dictionary (like m-w or oed) accepts religion to encompass a very wide degree of beliefs. Not to mention that the denotational concept of "God" is very wide as well.
You wouldn't dare take seriously a scientists that was also an astrologist, or one that claimed aliens visited him daily... then why do we accept those that believe in that creepy guy in the sky?
But many important contributors in science (scientists), those that produced good work in science and advanced humanity's understanding held religious beliefs.
I'm sure many scientists suffer or have suffered from mental illness, too. That really makes no difference to how I would judge their scientific contributions.
So, yes I would dare take seriously these scientists. I would take a scientist seriously who was also an astrologist if the quality of their science was top notch.
How do you extrapolate that 60% figure for IE to just IE9? In fact how do you know that that 60% doesn't include Windows CE IE variants? (this is obviously fundamental to the GPs point).

What is a court faggot? Sounds interesting.

There are numerous other examples. (Symbol, which became Motorola, etm).

Very, but they still get to vote. Three guesses as to which way "they" lean.
Well considering the originator of the video has/had a confirmed presence on greenpeace. I guess that is not too difficult.
