I just use the phrases that the young girl in the Exorcist used on the Priests. When I tell them what their mother does in hell it is particular warming for me. Racheal from cardholder services evidently likes me telling her this as she calls often to hear it.
The turn off for me is the overseas sheltered profits. The overbearing miserable greedy Buddhist who founded the company.[That's an oxymoron in itself} Putting suicide nets around the top of the foxconn building should have been a clue.But some people are still believing that because the product is "Swell" the company cannot be that corrupt when it comes to human rights. Burns and Smithers have nothing on these folks. I buy my phones from other companies.Are they that mean to the help? I do not know,but I have heard enough bad news about this overpriced product to take a pass on them.
Some 2016 presidential candidates have not hesitated to label the mishandling of classified information as criminal, with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee calling Clinton’s actions “beyond outrageously illegal.” Even a New York Times article stated flatly, “Mishandling classified information is a crime.”
In fact, in a nod to the complexities of handling classified information, the law criminalizes only violations that are “knowing,” “negligent” or the like. The law falls short, however, in failing to give express protection to knowing releases of classified information by whistleblowers. The Obama administration has used the Espionage Act — a statute meant to target spies and traitors — to prosecute federal employees who revealed waste, fraud and abuse. Judges allowed these cases to go forward even though none of the defendants harmed or intended to harm national security.
Comey stated that she was negligent. She has been to college, was a senator from New York, Husband was president, Secretary of State and she bumbled along with numerous unsecured servers and devices that were hacked.
His secretary of state wasn't a scandal? Bleach Bit,.Lynch on the Tarmac, smashing hard drives,not handling top secret material properly. I worked for a Major Aerospace firm, and the entire population of workers from CEO to janitor had to go through ITAR training,and handling classified material. I will guarantee you that I knew more about proper computer security than Hillary did. The tendency for this company training was to inform you what was going to happen to you in case you got sloppy handling secure information. The alternative started with dismissal up to prison. So you were made aware of this upfront. So did Hillary dismiss this training, or was she handing out state secrets for cash? She had her little dog and pony show in front of Congress, but she should be investigated properly for what she did. And Barack should be investigated for hiring this person. The buck stop here applies.
People are forgetting how many people are acquiring knowledge of you on your everyday surf of the internet. They are tracking your every move developing profiles about you and storing them in databases they sell to others so then more people may know about your habits, gender, politics, how many times you have been divorced, the number of children you have, your bank accounts, and even who you vote for. Nobody ever says a word about this. This is all fairly gained by the act of "commerce". Yet if you as an individual were to do this to another individual yourself, you would be found to be a hacker. You could be fined or sent to prison. How did we ever get down this rabbit hole where one set of people could spy on you all they wanted to but an individual would not have the same rights? And people are worried about Kapersky? Where is the laws in this country stating that you cannot track people this way or that a citizen has a right to expect some sort of equal playing field to respect and privacy.
The new I phone is around 1000 bucks. I would wish people would wake up to realize that after deregulating phone companies you could buy a telephone for your house at walmart for 9.95. I know people are going to argue that house phone cannot do all the things that a portable phone can do. But I see so many people addicted to these phones like crack addicts. It's really sad. And with the huge market for these devices the price of these devices should be going down instead of up. The quality for all these devices is plus or minus good. Some of you are going to buy the new Apple phones and find out 2 days after warranty it dies and/or you drop it and find out Apple will sell you a new one to replace it, but will price repairing the one you have is going to be so expensive that buying a replacement phone will look good to you. I'm sure they are also making it harder for third party repair people to fix Apple products. Wisdom dictates to buy the phone for your needs, not to see if you can put a dinosaur in a picture or movie you took. Also if it can be repaired. I know will not get through to some people but a bad deal on a phone or contract to buy a phone is still a bad deal.
I'm not a software expert. I'm just an average consumer. Should we trust Kaspersky? I do not know the answer. I'm hoping more enlightened people would know the answer to this. I have to discount what the government position is as there are sanctions against Russia because of political reasons and their [the us] position might be more retaliation than fact. I have not seen any factual evidence from the us or from Kaspersky either. I have had Kaspersky software products on my computer for years and have not had grief from attacks or viruses in all that time. A time or two I have had chance to have trouble and Kaspersky did it's job and protected me. However I know Russians are aggresive on their hacking. Should it be prudent to change or is this an attempt to destroy a company because it is Russian?
It comes complete with dog whistle so your pet can see and hear what you are missing. I'm sure broadcasters and movie studios are jumping through hoops so you can have the latest 8k technology. Right?
I read the article. Looks to me like he is getting off light. May only spend 4 years in jail. Only has to return 3 million. How much did he and his companions steal? Story gets vague at that point. There is probably enough to go around to let him off early don't you think? I only believe that you should believe half of what you hear and none of what you see..
I liked the products. Hated the marketing scheme. New customers got all the great packages and equipment. If you were a loyal always paid on time customer, they did not treat you as well. My "package" had rate hike creep and went from 65 to 124 in about 5 years. I took just the programming that didn't repeat itself every 6 months. I was with them for about 15 years straight. The programming I did have got worse. The infomercials ruled most of the channels from 10 pm or until dawn. News network repeated themselves after 10 pm. My equipment was so old the time shifted programs filled the drive up fast. I worked 2nd shift most of my life so I came home to infomercials all night long and stale news channels at 124 per month. Not my version of quality programming. So I called them up after 15 years to cut the cable and they called me all kinds of names and kept saying you will be back. I finally found out how you beat them is to trade from dish network to the other one.Every 2 years after your commitment is done drop the one you have and go to the other one.Just be sure you have both dishes on your roof and piped into your house for quick hook up.That way you always get the discounts and new equipment every 2 years. To me it is just a big load of crap anymore. I have the local channels [free] netflix hulu and that's it. I've have now found out my head is not so full of crap from the political news networks and I think a lot clearer. Quality of life is more important to me now that I'm older. So pass the pig shit somewhere else. And stick your weasel marketing schemes somewhere no man has gone before.
The giant floating plastic garbage reef. Can't they render that into artificial crab meat? It would make a great seafood cocktail! Fishing war is more important than the plastic Island of polluting crap.Has any of these geniuses figured out that given a few years of dissolving plastic will take care of the fishing war?
His Ethics are better than most Pharmaceutical Companies. In fact they will probably incorporate this in a reverse method to use on customers.IE: Kroger ran an add for 5 dollars of any Seafood purchase. But in fine print so small you could not read it, it said you must purchase 15 dollars worth of food. I found this out in the checkout line with 5 people behind me.The cashier said I could go back and get more seafood to make it 15 dollars.I could see the 5 shoppers in line behind me wanting to burn me at the stake if I did that. So I did the next best thing, I told the snarky cashier that she could keep the seafood and the coupon as well. I said I'm felling generous today you remove the seafood from my bill. I got applause. It felt good.
Our hacker elite have figured out a way to hack into the fidget and surveil the average Russian. Also spinning it in front of Russian ATM's will drain the cash from them. So in Russia you don't spin fidget, it spins you.
It is amazing to see how this along with everything else is done in this country. We have put people on the moon, have the finest armies, best technology, but we cannot seem to govern ourselves, have decent health care, or solve the simple things like distribution of the internet. The government/ corporations make all the decisions on everything. The citizens get to vote every 4 years, but really have no say in the day to day managing all this unless we go to the streets and raise hell to get whatever it is we need. If you think the high speed cable line is the biggest problem in your life, I'd say the two biggest 800 lb gorillas in this country are spending on the government way more than it takes in and health care. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . The people of the United States have been fighting health care costs since Theodore Roosevelt was in office. We have an enormous debt as well. I will guarantee you the two go hand in hand. We need to solve these two things, as it is getting to where we can't afford either one. And both could cause the collapse of our government. Life expectancy and birth mortality in countries with really good health care systems is way better than ours in the United States.Your own government forbids you from buying reasonably priced drugs from Canada because big Pharma wanted it that way.
They should get a logo made up of a pig with wings and flying, because that's about when that gets done. Or put the design in Popular Science with all the other things that never come to fruition. I would concentrate more on their core business of trying to make the current business debt free and possible first.
If I were to use Key loggers etc to spy on people on the internet, they would lock me up. Tell me the difference between that and corporations tracking your every move every day. Where did the laws get changed to allow that to happen? And when did the internet become the sole domain of corporations? There should be a users bill of rights for the average citizen, not a it's ok for us corporate types to spy on you, but don't spy on us. Also isn't it time to get rid of metered internet? Other countries treat the use of the internet as a utility and charge a flat rate no matter what you use. The big Telcoms want you to pay high rates and extortion priced phones which all seem to be priced fixed to about 650 a piece. We have less privacy and security now than any other time in history. Bose is off my purchase list as well

Just think, in about 35 months he can tell other prisons about his impressive skills at making license plates.
Nothing to see here folks! Move along. Pay no attention to that Robot behind the curtain...........
It will take a shit-ton of clearasil to fix that zit......

I guess what he is producing is more of a Shelbyville idea
So will there be an app on the smart watch to tell you when your getting to many harmful rays from the sun while your trying to charge your watch?

There were too many bed sheets with holes in them on the clothes line in back yard. Became noticeable............
How many in that database were dead voters?
