How the *fuck* did we function during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s without mobile phones...
I remember a time when we worked 9 to 5 and it was easy to plan the rest of your life around it, because the rest of the hours were your own. Only emergency employees, like doctors could be tethered to device for immediate interruption and did not entirely own any portion of their day.
But now, the average employee is subject to interruption at any time for "emergency" reasons as mundane as, making sure the cogs of business are working at full capacity.
I like the idea of going to a place where I know that the time I spend there is entirely my own.
The ISP is not publishing their results at this time. Neither are Starbucks or McDonalds. So I disagree with your suggestion that connecting to "real" hotspots vs these "faked" ones is an identical situation.
But I do agree that we would be better off if we all assumed that all Internet traffic should be considered to be "untrusted" and that end to end encryption, including anonymity would make us all a lot safer from profiling and reduce the potential for invasion of privacy (like these guys did).

Bats "don't really swoop down on your head and get tangled in your hair."
Bats are great fliers, and they seem to love getting really close to your head. Living in an area where bats would come out on summer night to catch flying bugs... they love to get real close to people and objects. I don't see any reason why they would not sometimes crash into swinging hair. It seems more like a statistical thing... "bats USUALLY don't get tangled in hair".
Also, if there were bugs in your hair, then I suspect the bats would go there to get them.
Iranian-born... as in born in Iran? That's important information. I know it is important, because when I searched for more information on this person, it was repeated over and over again in multiple news reports.
It is good to know that he was born in Iran. Otherwise, how else could I judge the validity of his ideas?
Born in Iran? I hope this is attached to his title for life so that I and others can know exactly where his ideas are really coming from.
Maybe software licensing should be abolished. Let companies and individuals buy software and use it as property and pay taxes in the location where it is used. It may also solve a lot of anti-trust like behaviour in the software industry.
He's not resting in peace. We can be quite confident that he's currently burning in hell. The Bible clearly says that suicide is a serious sin and a person who dies in such a state of sin immediately goes to hell. There is no salvation or peace to be found, only eternal damnation. I know this won't be popular here, but it's God's word and it's the truth. As a believer, I have a duty to share God's truth with all of you, and that truth is that Ian Murdock is burning in hell for committing suicide.
You say this as if you don't have a choice as to what you believe.
You might want to take responsibility for the things you feel instead of offloading them to a religion of your choosing.
Having all keys in one location will weaken the security of their own nation.
But the request is not surprising. Like our own national security departments, the government is trying to offload the labour of eavesdropping onto the public sector. Who lives in a country where this isn't happening? The only difference between us and them is that they are asking for the keys prior to making a request in the name of terrorism. In practice, there is probably little difference between what Russia is asking for and the permissions you (and me) already gave up in your own country.
What a blessing terrorism is for those who want to side step your individual securities and stifle free speech.
The report of this survey sound very much like advertising for Netflix. I remember a time when companies would quietly take a survey and then use the results to direct their company. I wouldn't even hear the boring details of the survey until the product came out with a proper news release.
I just want a router that I buy and goes in my home, but protects me from going to all the bad sites, disturbing content that offends me and can be turned off if a terrorists break into my home and try to use it to access hate material. Do they sell that?
Car companies do not want to Buy a new car. They want you to Lease.
The price of a new car is not real. It is simply an inflated price the manufacturer uses to set up your lease payments. And the lease is not designed to allow you to own the car. The high sticker price ensures that when your lease is up that they will convince you to start a new lease on a new car rather than pay the remainder of the inflated debt.
The car companies are designed to extract as much as you can afford or more on a monthly basis and provide you with nothing to show for it in the end. Their goal is to extract as much as they can squeeze out of your disposable income and renegotiate this every couple of years. So you end up in an endless cycle of paying money to "borrow" their cars.
Smart people buy used cars that highly depreciated from the suckers who bought new.
Maybe they should have added a sensor to detect hands on the wheel.
The same way that bicycles have sensors to make sure your hands are on the bars at all times?
I prefer the idea of personal responsibility. And if you don't like that, then pass a law that targets the user and not the manufacturer. In my country, it is an offence to ride a bicycle without one hand on the handlebar while on public streets. Although most people need a law to know what they should do in order to keep themselves and those around them safe.
Well I hope it does. "cyber security" and "information sharing" between nations is just cozy wording for governments who want to violate freedoms by illegally monitoring their own people through agreements with other nations.
My brother is an author. How does he get paid for 'performing' his work?
That performer purchased a copy of your brothers music. The listener like it so much that they go out and buy a copy so they can perform it themselves. Your brother makes money on the sale of the sheet music because the performance is just that good.
I think the main difference is that Star Trek is about exploration of space, while Star Wars is about exploitation of space. In this way, I think Star Wars is far more realistic if we consider the history of human expansion across our own planet.
Star Trek is the way many people wish it would be, Star Wars is more likely how it will be. At least if the alien life forms have motivations that are anything like humans.
...the fact that auto recovery in Windows is miles ahead of Linux.
I find Linux to be exactly the opposite. It is easy and legal to boot a full system from USB or CD to correct the problems of a Linux system. Last time I tried Windows it wasn't even legal to do that under their weird software license. But I don't use Windows, so I can't really confirm this.

Why do they need a lock, if they have nothing to hide?

Your question is good. I ran it on a tor-browser and the only real identifier was the CSS font list, which is said was unique.
Does anybody know if this is a bug, or does is a tor-browser uniquely identifiable based on unique font lists per installation.

I disagree with the premise: "Tyson is a very smart man". So I can not comment.

the thing is, 99% of the malware you run into is run-of-the-mill stuff.

this person apparently trusted it enough that they thought they could half watch the road while playing a Harry Potter DVD.
In the drivers defence, the Harry Potter series was pretty good.

It's about power and conquest, not exploration.
