The REASON the founding fathers were so careful to enshrine the right to keep and bear arms for the PEOPLE, is so that we can defend ourselves from our GOVERNMENT!
That does not seem to be working out so well for you.
and in fact anyone over the age of 10 or so is already trivially ignoring and bypassing their copyright laws. I expect their encryption laws will also fall quickly to the pre-teen set should they so desire.
Fact is those grandkids are way fucking smarter than grandma will ever be.
You could use it to track, say, unmarked police vehicles. Does not matter who is driving them and it would not be hard to collect a large database of them.
I mostly work with Cisco equipment. I use PuTTY on both Windows and Linux PCs - having the same interface for telnet, SSH, and serial connections is handy, though occasionally I will just use native SSH and screen commands from whatever the built in console app is.
And I use GetConsole on my work issued iPhone. With the Redpark lightning to RJ45 serial cable it's great for making quick config changes from the console port, as well as being a telnet and SSH client. Highly recommend.
If you want a real picture of the plausibility of man-made global climate change, don't check scientists or Al Gore, consult actuaries and insurance companies. Pretty sure you'll find they're believers, because they have to actually pay for it if they choose wrong.
I bought a cheap USB iPhone charging cable someplace thinking wow, that is way better than paying for an Apple one. Just plugging it in would crash the PC (but seemed to do no lasting harm).
Yes, you certainly should not plug in a USB drive you just found somewhere into a PC, but it does not really have to look like a USB drive to be potentially dangerous.
Law enforcement officials have rejected the “backdoor” terminology. “We aren’t seeking a backdoor approach. We want to use the front door, with clarity and transparency, and with clear guidance provided by law,” FBI chief James B. Comey said at the Brookings Institution in October.
This is an interesting tangent that has come up while discussing potential backdoors in Chinese or American manufactured hardware. If you are a business with trade secrets or intellectual property or confidential financial info or such, then absolutely your first concern should be protecting yourself from the KGB/Chinese government surveillance.
However, if you are an individual, you should be much more concerned with surveillance by your own government. If the Chinese know who you associate with, track your movements, read your emails, listen to your phone calls, what is the big deal? There is not really much they can do with that information, nor do they have much reason to care about the average Western citizen.
Your own government, however, can use that information against you in untold number of ways. For your own government, all that information they collect is potentially actionable. For the Chinese, not so much. The opposite is of course also true. The US government has little benefit to be gained from spying on the typical Chinese factory worker. The Chinese government OTOH, well, you know.....
Fact is your own government is a far bigger threat to your rights and freedoms than terrorists/communists/otherists will ever be.
I do understand there are principles at stake when payment processors are dictated to over who they can do business with (like Wikileaks), but there is at least an upside in this case. Nobody need pay for pirated content, it is all out there available for free. Forcing people to learn that will be a valuable lesson that will save them money in the end.
If I were uber rich that would be my goal. More than all the houses, the planes and exotic cars, the sports franchises, having a foundation with the means to do lasting good on a globally significant scale and leaving a legacy rather than just an estate would be so fulfilling. Well it would for me anyway.
Not a big Microsoft fan, but I absolutely admire Gates for his foundation's work. Given it was MS that bought Minecraft I'm sure Bill could give him some pointers.
I've liked science ever since I was a kid. All kinds of science. I particularly like science that makes consistent, accurate, granular predictions.
Compared to pretty much any other scientific discipline, climate science leaves me completely underwhelmed. It is pretty clear they have only the vaguest idea of how it all works.
Would I bet money on their predictions? No. If they were my investment advisers I would fire them.
There will be a Supreme Court challenge. And Harper will almost certainly lose. He is, after all, the losing-est PM in the courts that we have had in recent memory, if not ever.
I'm profoundly grateful for our courts and our Charter of Rights, which have done an excellent job of keeping Harper from turning this country into the sort of shithole he would like it to be.
Am I dumping my refrigerator and cooking food on a camping stove? No.
Sums it up well. I know people who wear a sweater in the house in the winter to use less heat, or leave the AC off on hot days. These are not people eating cat food, they can actually afford to make their place comfortable for themselves. HVAC is one of the wonderful things about living in the first world and billions would love to have it.
Some people just seem to need some sort of cilice I guess.

I leave the rest of the tree to continue providing sustenance, shelter, etc., generally without my intervention and mostly likely long after I die.
Animals in general do the same.

It is an interglacial. Of course ice cover is shrinking. Has been for ~12,000 years
Used to be hundreds of feet of it where I am sitting.

Pretty much sums it up.
I live in Manitoba. Outbreaks of this happen from time to time here also.

There is no front door.
Man these people are dumb.

As a "working scientist', do you normally conspire to circumvent FOI requests.
Also while I'm sure gaming the peer review system is normal, that does not make it a good thing.

If men could get pregnant, abortion would be an internationally recognized human right.
