I never saw this movie before. I never heard of it before this report. But I know it is "Hilarious" and "Intense", because the title told me in fact (not opinion). With unassailable facts like this, who needs to watch it? Thanks for thinking for me.
I don't care one bit about some paparazzi revenge porn site going out of business. Yes, it is troublesome that this may have revenge for some semi valid journalism, but the real blight on the WWW are sites like this that exist to do nothing but make money off celebrity mishaps. It will be good for these parasites to get a real job.
If you really didn't care, then you would offer no support to your opinions. Because after all... you don't care.
I don't have an opinion on this because I really don't care. I never knew the site existed prior to this legal battle being reported. Maybe I heard of it, but I don't recall, because the content seems removed from me. That said, I really don't like people who seek out sites that they don't like and then complain about that site. Where you surf is your own choice and if a sites continues to exist regardless of your lack of support, it is because other people like it. Who is to say what is right or wrong for other people and what those other people may or may not enjoy. And shame on those who search the Internet for what they don't care to see.
Implying that the ends justifies the means is not a strong argument.
I buy Chromebooks to serve as disposable laptops for 1-2 years. In practice: I replace mine once every 1-2 years with something newer/shinier.
I like the way you think. Purchasing budget systems more often results in more processing power than purchasing a state-of-the-art device every 5 years. Just consider the speed of processing, display quality and port speeds, and then do the math. A much slower PC purchased more often results in greater overall power and cost savings.
I buy Chromebooks to serve as disposable laptops for 1-2 years. In practice: I replace mine once every 1-2 years with something newer/shinier. I don't see the problem with this.
It's because of people like you that we're overrun by hardware in dumps all over the world.
As if the poster purchases any more than those dying to have bleeding edge products.
Maybe use amateur radio or something, but of course they can just jam that.
Amateur Radio?
Hello, you all have a wifi router in your home. Your phones have wifi. Same with your tablets. If you live in a city, or really any neighbourhood, you can scan and see dozens or many many more wifi routers that are not your own. All we need to do is turn them into routers/repeaters.
Some day the populous will wake up and see this free massive bandwidth for what it is... an alternate and independent network that cannot be controlled. It moves with the people and at their discretion.
If nobody pays for it, they're going to stop making it. When they stop making it, what are you going to pirate?
That is not true. Distribution companies actively block content that does not come through them, and limits or stops content coming from alternate distribution channels. For example, Megaupload provided a very good alternative distribution network.
People should only pay for first viewing of any content. The replay of content you already paid for is no different than remembering it in detail. We should not have to pay to refresh our memory of what we already experienced and paid for. We should not charge humans based on their ability or inability to recall.
The distribution companies make sure that content expires before your memory of it does. Once content enters the mind, it should be a human right to remember it, whether in your mind or physically. The idea that anyone needs money from older content or that it is stealing from those who made it is hard to reconcile, when all those people are dead.
I present an alternative, where people pay for production prior to creation. For example, I would pay my fair share for crowd funding episodes of "Game of thrones". If the show obtained the amount they desired, then they could produce it, known that they were fairly paid for their labour. The end result could/should belong to the people and made available for free. The distribution could use the existing channels which now are largely used for pirating. This is just one idea of how a world without copyrights and distribution companies would work. I think it would be beautiful and no one would miss the death of distribution monsters and copyright lawsuits.
I think alternate forms of distribution have a huge potential to provide more money to all artists regardless of their connection with the few mega distribution companies which have a stranglehold on what appears in theatres, in your home and on your devices.
The NSA is not well known for revealing what it can and cannot do. It has secrets and values them. Why would we care what any NSA employee says that it CAN do, when we know that it's mission is to keep quiet about that. I don't even know why I am saying this. You already know that the NSA can do more than they are willing to admit publicly or even privately to government agencies to which they report.
Can you imagine walking into a mall and seeing nothing but an empty hall. In order to see what they are selling or even the name of the stores in the mall, I would have to show government ID to someone... then I could see the store name. If I want to go inside and look at the products... well I cant see them until again I show ID and then products appear.
I should not have to show ID to browse. It is ridiculous and everyone should be using Tor or similar identity protecting technologies. Because I am not represented by the things that other people show me. And I should not be profiled according to what others display to me.
an app.. that's already listening (but don't worry, they say they're not).
Actually, they usually say they are listening. And reading your contact list and many other things they don't need. And most people click to accept whether they know or do not know what they are agreeing to.
Why would anyone buy a smart phone and then not use the smart? The smart thing to do is to buy a phone that is not running Google or Apple, like a "burner" or pay-as-you-go phone, which runs something else. The interface is crappy, but it doesn't matter if you don't use it. And they are cheaper by month. And you can pay cash so your identity is less likely to be targeted. I think these phones are ideal for people who: just want to use a phone.
As a bonus, if you think your phone is insecure, you just throw it out and get another since there is no contract longer than a month.
If you have to sign a contract after you buy a product, then you have the right to return that product. It may not mean much for downloaded software, but returning a product means a lot to hardware distributors, like cell phones themselves and computers and gaming machines. I returned multiple laptops because the Microsoft license was too long and I disagreed with the "Kill switch" option they put in their among other things. I have returned an XBOX because they only let you read 4 or 5 lines of the agreement at a time and it took me about 10 minutes to scroll down through it at full speed (not the speed at which I could read it). So I returned it. The store doesn't like it, but it certainly isn't my fault. So buy products and return them. I expect if more people did this, the contracts would become more reasonable to understand.
I believe that every town should have their own entropy source. It should probably be an offline source. Where the citizens can come and obtain large amounts of entropy onto say a DVD or USB stick. This source should be protected by armed authorities. Our leaders and lawmakers should be working to empower individuals with high security and best practices to ensure individual privacy. This is the type of government I want.
This is titled: "H.8 Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Banks in the United States". Then I clicked "preview" and saw a column labelled "Cash assets, all commercial banks, not seasonally adjusted". The value for 2016-05-11 was about $2.5 billion.
I do not see a division by Mx numbers. If you are kind enough to show me how you find your numbers, I would be grateful.
As soon as you boot up your Commodore 64, it'll ask you if you want to upgrade to Windows 10. Even if you say you don't, it'll force you to Windows 10 anyways.
I know you are joking, but your comment suggests that moving backwards is the only choice. There are much better options than Microsoft available to you and anyone still stuck with their crappy service. They have a history of dirty tricks like this since the only DOS days. It's time to forget about them and move to something that does not embrace anti-competitive trade practices.
If you just stop using Microsoft, it will go away.
I can't read the report. I think you have pay for information and that is just unethical.
"Fuel Reserves" usually includes deposits still buried underground. And those deposits are HUGE. There is tons and tons of fuel down there, but most of it will never be used, because it takes more energy to get it then the value someone will pay to use it.
The other usage of "fuel reserves" could mean that we are talking about fuel that is housed and reserved by nations for emergency or in storage for later sale into the market. I don't think this is what the article is talking about, but if so... we are in big trouble. Still I think this report is nonsense because we will never use all that fuel.
I believe many animals are conscious in that they are aware of themselves and aware of others. Think not only of themselves and their well being, but also of those they love. I find it all kind of pious to think that they are not aware, in the same sense that we created the gods to be in our own image. Sometimes I think this is an excuse for the horrible things we do to animals, but don't want to think about. If consciousness is a defining human characteristic, then what about those who are born with much lower intelligence or awareness? Are they less human? Because some animals are smarter then them. If they create an animal with more intelligence, it does not make it human. The idea that we should fear intelligent animals is ridiculous, because they already exist. What we should fear is an animal with better limbs, because if they could use a gun... many of them would and probably are justified to do so.
I am only half joking here. But humans are so stuck up. When really, we are nothing more than chimps with dolphin brains.
I am surprised that ebay is not on this list. Or is Ebay a "financial" company because of its ownership of Paypal? I gave more money to Ebay and Paypal then any other company over the last few years.

I said above "$2.5 billion"... but I meant to say: "$2.5 trillion".

Facebook said that its team scans millions of ad images every week, and sometimes understandably misses out on a few.
That response is BS, because facebook took the time to clarify their stance. They didn't miss anything, they just got it wrong.
Facebook: It's not a huge issue here, so just admit your prejudice.
