Still the issues of access. Ask WikiLeaks about that. All the encryption in the world doesn't matter if you can't access your files. And, if your files are backed up locally, aren't you just mirroring on a remote server?
There's a distinction between sports with athletes and sports with players. Athlete implies some physical prowess beyond hand-eye coordination and dexterity. That's what I took from the GP and something I agree with. NASCAR was teased years back when they started calling drivers athletes, even though drivers tend to keep themselves in very good shape.
If I start a professional sun flower seed spitting league, I'd be playing a sport but I'd hardly consider myself an athlete.
You're an AC so I'm assuming you're trolling, but I'll answer. That quote was specifically about a bridge someone uses to get to work. Now, unless you manufacture bridges, you didn't build the bridge or the road you use to get to work.
You also didn't run the power lines, pay for the eletrical infrastructure, pay for the fuel infrastructure, pay for the education infrastructure that you're probably exploiting to hire employees who can read, write and count well enough to work for you, you didn't build the hospital just in case someone gets hurt on the job, you didn't pay for the law enforcement to protect your business and the safety of your workers at home and on the job, you didn't pay for the fire fighters who risk their lives should your business burst into flames, you didn't pay for the court system to address your grievances, you didn't pay for the military that protects you from raiding hordes of bandits from Canada and Mexico (and they WOULD exist if we didn't have a military) streaming in to steal our resources, and you probably didn't pay for the *fundamental* research your products are based on.
Yes, *A* business might have build some of those, but not YOUR business. And it's our collective tax revenue that funds these sweet amenities you call society. Your small contribution to a collective pool is what makes all of this infrastructure possible.
I'm done w/ politics after what I've been seeing this cycle. It's one thing when there are deliberate distortions coming from candidates, but it's another when media outlets play along to keep them in the news and fueling their programs for a few more days.
Two examples to be bipartisan. The whole "You didn't build that." comment from Obama. As soon as I heard it and saw the way it was being broadcast on TV chopped up, I knew immediately that the quote was being attributed with a false meaning. Based on past experience, I figured it would be a few more days before I ever heard the full quote. Sure enough...
As for Romney, he had his "I like to fire people" comment. While poorly phrased, he was obviously speaking in the context of a consumer shopping for services, not as an employer. Maybe a little bit subtle, but not so subtle that an adult wouldn't be able to decipher the meaning.
This is why our politicians talk like sterilized, focus-group driven robots. Even the slightest stumble in a speech gets blown up into a bullshit storm. I used to LOVE debating politics online, but nowadays you spend all your time debunking spin from a campaign and not really talking about issues. I'll still be voting alright, but I'm not in the game anymore.
I think there's HUGE potential for a 3rd vendor. Don't treat your customers like they're in an involuntary Facebook profiling network like Google does and don't take on an authoritarian attitude like Apple does. But, the DOs are what's tough. iPhones are great because of the UI, not because fanboys are brainwashed. Android is great because of the openness of development. How you bring all that together isn't exactly easy.
I want to as well, but I haven't build a network to do so. I just get tired of having my data harvested and displayed. Images uses to be anonymous, now I find my Picasa Web pics are googlable with my *name*. Other annoyances like a strong suspicion that my mail is being parsed for advertising profilers.
I heard a comment like this from a female general about women in combat. Her solution was, just use more women. That's great if you have more, but who wants to go on a two-"man" sniper team with Buffy knowing she doesn't have chance carrying you to safety if you get hit? Ironic, but that was what made me think that some sexual discrimination is a good thing.
It becomes "rogue" when someone's flash trading scheme starts losing a shitload of money. Classic case where government has to come in and regulate. These traders will destroy themselves and the economy if left to their own devices; and if operating under the assumption that Daddy will come in and fix things if they screw up too big.
Rub some axle grease all over your face and clothes. Always walk into a room wiping your hands off with a pristine white towel. Regardless of what you're working on, bitch about "the damned carburetor again..." Grumble a lot about cheap foreign parts breaking.
I've heard Shatner's work and I think he's really good. I'm a little skeptical about Wheaton as I've seen some terrible celeb narrators like Christian Slater, Sigourney Weaver, and John Goodman.
You're not thinking like a billionaire "philanthropist." He's not trying to improve physics. Even when these guys set up these foundations, don't kid yourself that it's not still a large measure of ego boosting. Heaven forbid some grand discovery be slapped with one of his awards. You can bet that he'll be doing more interviews and gloating about his generosity than you'll see the actual team who made the discovery.
The courts have been consistently ruling in favor of "assumed" privacy. So, if technology is developed by law enforcement to see, say heat emanating from the walls of your house consistent with a marijuana grow lab, they can't use that info to bust in the door. If tech is developed that allows citizens to be wholesale tracked door-to-door, it'll probably be challenged and ruled out.
"According to the Guardian, another (since deleted) tweet threatened Daley with drowning, but the law doesn't require threats of violence for an arrest to be made."

Sounds like you're getting tired of me pwning your noob ass in Battlefield 3. Don't worry, I'll start using lube next round.

So, NO YOU DID NOT PAY FOR THAT.
Can't have the revenue man collecting taxes or anything like that.
Last figure I saw put that at around $6 billion.

I think the point he's making is that the channels aren't "double blind"; e.g. like a hashed-salted password.

burp!
$300 Million dollar movies also return you $1 Billion in a year or two.

Because the accessibility of women to sports would shrink to the size of a pebble. There aren't a lot of sports where women can go toe-to-toe w/ men.

I see where you're going...
So, for me that means bathrobe and bunny slippers; e.g. retired!
"Daffy Dick" if that's a typo it's pretty epic!
You don't grok political campaigns. The app isn't to serve *you*, it's to serve *him*.

Consider me a supporter of your delicious theory. Now, what do I need 2 pairs of to validate your claims?

Challenging the rights of our government to protect us. I guess they hate Freedom...
"According to the Guardian, another (since deleted) tweet threatened Daley with drowning, but the law doesn't require threats of violence for an arrest to be made."
Should have been the FIRST line in the summary.
