Streaming is good up to a point. I would gladly pay 15.99 a month for that service but they need to ditch the dvd thing and go 100% streaming. Waiting for dvd's in the mail is so 90's. Funk that. The thing that pisses me off the most is that I can't email someone for customer service. I work in a call center and the LAST thing I want to do when I get home is call someone that I can't hardly understand and have them lie to me just to get me off of their line. Ugh not to mention the hold time. Less choice+more money+lousy customer service= you're fired. Think about that while you're sipping your latte BITCH.
Neo: I thought it wasn't real
Morpheus: Your mind makes it real
Neo: If you're killed in the matrix, do you die here?
Morpheus: The body cannot live without the mind
Morpheus: Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
Am I the only one here that thinks this is a bad idea?
In this case don't judge him a pedophile because he kissed a kid. If he has a record then yes there is just cause. Otherwise it's just bad judgement. I'm not saying what he did was right and if a stranger touched my daughter I'd be worried but if he really was a pedo why did he return the kid back to his parents. The mother kinda brought this on herself allthough there's no arguing the neighbor was a bit crazy.
Well, if he was an uber skilled script kiddie, he could just spoof one of the allowed IP's which isn't hard to do at all considering 'script-kiddies' have been hacking into government affiliates as of late...:) got something to hide?
Does anyone know if stateful packet inspection will catch ip or mac spoofing?
Every device that has access to the internet in my house is listed in the mac address filter on the router. I use a wpa-tkip-aes key as well as stateful packet inspection. The reality of it is any asshole (like the one mentioned above) who is motivated enough will eventually break my security key. I just do the best I can to make it a pain in the ass to all that are not truly motivated. As a parent I would have had something to say about a stranger kissing my child but to call the police and report him as a sex offender without even checking the listing is irresponsible. At the very least she should have checked her states' website that lists sex offenders before she made an accusation.
"Taxes Bad.", "Spending 10s of billions of dollars in 'wars' killing brown people Good."
And yet General Petraeus cried foul when Obama announced he was bringing home (est 33k) troops from Afghanistan. We are pouring billions of dollars that we can not afford into a war that has surpassed what we spent in Iraq.
Perhaps I missed this when I rtfa but nowhere do I see it mentioned that these protestors were there to tell Israel that it did not have the right to exist.
Yeah! The US has no interests in Pakistan or Afghanistan, and should leave them to their own devices and only return if / when they collapse and become a safe-haven for terrorists! Why has no-one thought of this before?!
I sincerely hope you are joking. Time for a history lesson. The US helped the Afghan rebels take down the invading Soviet army back in the mid to late 80's. When the russians left, the Afghan people inherited a country torn apart by decades of war. The USA decided it didn't have any interests in the country so we left. If we had invested in the infrastructure and helped the country create a strong central government we wouldn't be fighting another war there. In other words, you can't always achieve peace through strength. Sometimes you have to lend a hand because it's the right thing to do.
To defeat Al Qaeda in Afghanistan the government needs to negotiate with the Taliban and intigrate them into the government. They need to keep their friends close and their enemies closer.
If Israel is to survive, then they had better use everything at their disposal, and use it efficiently.
UMM are we talking about a bunch of terrorists making plans on Facebook to attack Israel or are we talking about people excercising what should be a basic human right to protest against a government they don't like. FTFA
Israel has not publicized its criteria for denying entry, but has said peaceful visitors will not be deported. The large numbers of people who were blocked indicated that Israel was giving few activists the benefit of the doubt.
Governments should be able to set up some rules that define who, where and sometimes when people can protest but it looks like Israel is writing the rules as they go along.
Given that they track EVERYTHING you do, and there are other competing search engines which do not do that.
I want to know what search engine you speak of. I mean WTF we live in the age of the all seeing eye (corp and gov) watching eveything you do. And don't EVEN get me started on corporations monetizing data with or without your consent. What company can be trusted to do the right thing anymore. I use Google products because their products work...well. I don't believe I can trust a corporation to not track my every move online and sell it to the highest bidder. I'm not trying to call you out or anything. I'm just pointing out that if you leave a kid alone with the cookie jar there's bound to be a few missing cookies and one of those is likely tracking you./rant
Hmm... I think you just saved the company money by not putting a bandaid on the situation. Imagine if they actually had to rewrite some software to lock access to records etc. You're right, termination does work better.
Rupert Goodwins has proposed another idea: the reuse of the mostly disused 'Band I' and the creation of a new, national open mesh network — a plan that could bring internet connectivity to everyone at very low cost."
I don't know how it works over there but if it has any government oversight chances are they'll screw it up.
People don't have a reasonable right to privacy when they are in a public place like the apple store or the mall etc. If they didn't want to be photographed they should have stayed home. Welcome to surveilance nation where there's a camera around every corner.
They'll sell you on this but read the fine print. Anything like this is set up for convenience and is guaranteed to have less protection than swiping a plain old credit card. That's why I hardly use debit. You don't have the same rights to dispute a debited charge because you used your pin. Consider all the stories we've seen in the first half of this year about groups hacking into credit card systems and stealing millions of cc numbers and pins. In fact I'm surprised the whole industry hasn't imploded by now. The credit card companies are not responsible with their own infrastructure so why would you trust them to safeguard your info. Storing pin's and account numbers in clear text?! Really?
Why would you leave electronics in anything but carry on luggage? It seems logical that you can't trust anyone at the airport with your personal property. After Continental snuck in the 25$ fee for checked bags I'm actually considering packing light and sending it ahead via UPS. Everything having to do with air travel is one big racket and if you believe otherwise you deserve what's coming to you. In other news TSA agent gets commendation for stealing potentially hazardous personal electronics. Said the agent involved "I had to steal it. That Ipad could have been used to remotely detonate a bomb. In other news today the notorious hacker group Lulsec claims responsibility for taking down the TSA site.

There's a HUGE difference between "showing" sexual activity as the article suggests and "tracking" it. Correct me if I'm wrong as I had trouble opening the site but was there a video of someone getting it on or just graphs and stuff.
Oh I believe it. I don't remember what I was watching but they showed a rats nest of wires on top of this pole somewhere in New Delhi (or what ever it's called these days). My friend's wife has been there several times and she says it smells like armpit from the moment you get off the plane. She is a very fastidious woman so I imagine she took showers several times a day while she was over there.
This will be the beginning of the end of the Internet as we know it. Once these corporations have the power to control what we see, how much we see, and even IF we are allowed online... I guess I'm not going to want any part of that anyway.
I don't want any part of it either. Big media believes that it has a captive audience and to some extent that's true but they can only push their luck so far before people wake up and realize they don't need them.
One day big media will understand that they need us more than we need them. Take away my movies, video games and music (that part would suck) and I wouldn't be too happy but I would eventually find something else to do. Occasionally I come across someone that doesn't watch tv and they seem happy. My friend Chris told me that he couldn't imagine being glued to the tv again. Fuck big media.
