The Fender stereo system in my wife's new Jetta is bitchin', and the software so far has performed flawlessly.
Being rather old school myself (I drive a 1980's carburated truck), I typically lift my nose at any automotive technological gadgetry that doesn't increase the performance of the vehicle... however, I will begrudgingly admit it's pretty awesome to have my music stream jump from my phone to the car stereo with no manual intervention on my part (other than inserting the key).
Nothing to fear, Citizen; now, if you would kindly place your hands in the yellow circles, we will proceed with the scan of your person and residence...
Note: I do not recommend konsole because it has the same issue
with writing scrollback buffer to disk. It encodes the data so
it is not as visible, but it would be trivial to decode that data.
So, the government organization that is supposed to regulate the banks has been taken over by the big banks and your solution is more government regulation?
No, my solution is to drag the corrupt out into the streets and publicly execute them to serve as an example for others. But then again, I'm known to be a bit despotic... in a good way:)
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Socialism has no distinct, single definition, according to the reference you provided (first paragraph, second sentence).
I don't think you know what you think you know.
Please list all the "socialist" parts of the Constitution and explain how they are socialist.
One need look no farther than the preamble:
We the People [i.e., society] of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union [i.e. state], establish Justice [i.e. social equality], insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare [nudge nudge}, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Not to mention the social equalizer known commonly as the Bill of Rights. I could go on, but if you don't understand where I'm coming from at this point, you're not going to.
Perhaps the point is, there's a galaxy of difference between fucking up a tiny urban park (term used quite loosely), and fucking up the global economic system.
I was looking for stuff that matters. Not this socialist dribble that seems to be dominating the "news for nerds."
Aw, hell, that ain't socialist - THIS is socialist!
There is no form of government more dedicated to socialism that a constitutional republic... Well, I guess a constitutional republic with democratically elected leaders, maybe, but who's crazy enough to do that??
Does the book go into the fact that OWS was a smokescreen to blame private corporations for the results of government misregulation for the aid of the Obama re-election campaign?
If you honestly believe the de-regulation of private business (that subsequently led to multiple economic implosions) has only been going on as long as Obama has been president, you haven't been paying attention.
If you believe in the power of prayer, or in the Bible as a moral rulebook, or any of the million and one other things which believers are constantly pushing, you have to believe in a God who should have left evidence of His active involvement all over the place, and yet has mysteriously failed to do so.
That which ye seek, so shall ye find.
If a person believes in a meddling deity, and looks for evidence of such, they will find it.
If a person believes in a deity who has a firm stance of non-interference, and looks for evidence of such, they will find it.
If a person believes in no deity at all, and looks for evidence of such, they will find it.
That's the real problem of theology/anti-theology as an argument: It's a purely subjective realm of thought, and thus every person looking through the same window will, depending on their theological beliefs, see the world differently.
the start-up is helping the government end-run the Constitution, by providing it with information that would otherwise be unconstitutional for the government to collect!!
Perhaps being bad at "maths" is nothing but a symptom of exactly the same problem that's causing them to be bad at life. Wonder if the cause could be laziness?
Probably not; some of the hardest working people I know have abysmal math skills.
I would keep that theory to myself when around factory workers, farmers, and pretty much anyone else who does a fair amount of physical labor (but very little math) for a living.
Why not a combination of factors? This isn't really a black-and-white thing.
That's no bullshit.
You'll never find a bigger group of narcissistic douche-bags than the people who act like they're the only ones on the planet whose position in life is affected by variables outside their scope of control.
As a young engineer myself, the good part of the story is that there will be more promotion possibilities because the older workers are retiring.
Aww, an optimist! How adorable!
Seriously, though, the more likely circumstance is that, once those older engineers retire, their positions will be eliminated and their workload distributed among the remaining staff; that way, your employer can get more work out of you without having to cut into the boards bonus' by increase your pay grade.
officers (or anybody else) don't get arrested for violating rights, but instead for violating laws.
Are you saying that violating the civil rights of another citizen is not against the law?
Second, police officers are arrested for violating laws, sometimes quite serious laws that have been broken.
Never meant to imply they didn't, was merely refuting parent's contention that I was alone in hyperbolic rhetoric.
This isn't to say that sometimes the "blue wall" exists where a fellow officer will sometimes give a pass on something that us ordinary folk won't be forgiven for, but you don't need to be so cynical to say that they all get away with anything.
Again, I never said they "all get away with anything." Of course, a lot of crooked cops get away with a lot of crime, but I've met enough good cops (say, 1 out of every 50) to know the aren't all crooked... just most of the one's I've encountered. YMMV.
As a matter of public policy it is important to insist upon professional behavior from law enforcement officers... which usually takes care of these problems through internal reviews. Professional behavior also includes ratting on fellow officers, rather than being a gang of thugs that just happens to be in the employ of the government.
This is where I disagree; from an outsider standpoint, it appears that Internal Affairs is less focused on ensuring justice is properly meted, and more about protecting that "blue wall" and those who stand behind it.
Another way to look at it, how many non-LEOs do you know who have wrongly ended the life of another human, and been given 2 weeks paid vacation as punishment?

...terrorism is "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. " and that will never ever go away.
Especially considering that is the US government's domestic stratagem, verbatim.
Funny how the feds see terrorists behind every door, save their own.

For your security, of course.

Do some research into the relationship between the SEC and the banks they are supposed to regulate, then get back to me.
Matt Taibbi's blog is a good place to start.

Sayeth the one whose original premise is nothing but ad hominem and fallacy.
If anything has negatively affected my credibility, it was the initial act of responding to such obviously false contentions.
Your car is already an electromechanical device. EMP would disable modern gasoline vehicles just as surely as it would electric vehicles.
Which is a big part of the reason I love my old, beat up, carburated pickup.

Then, sue the hell out of anyone using the patents. Hey, it's a proven successful strategy.

Aw, man, I loved Art Bell! Listening to his program used to be my favorite part of Sunday nights...
No offense meant to George Noory, of course.
Maybe the info that got "hacked" was meant to be.
"What more effective cover for the deadly efficient than the guise of a disorganised clod?"
Good encryption, for one.
Well, yea.
