every technology can eventually be cracked the fact that apple doesn't want its clueless buyers to understand this is foolish. They think if you are someone who commits crime or is a pervert then that secret will be yours and no one elses. if you buy an apple phone. the fact is thats just not true. From my understanding what has to happen is someone has to sideload a hacked os on to this phone that has been authenticated.. not the most impossible thing in the world to do but when you are talking about data that could lead back to contacts with ISIS Leaders both in syria and outside of syria then this has to be done perfectly or you can screw it up bad... and there won't be a second try. Apple has admitted they have the ability to do this.. its not the end of the world if they didn't do this.. but heres the thing.. when is it more of a benefit to keep your porn safe vs catch criminals? It could be a single murder victim or a rapist or in this case the possibility of a ISIS terror cell in the USA that needs to be stopped. The Judge makes that decision. There should be times when Apple unlocks phones and that should be when a court order is requiring them to do that.. what if your loved one snaps a pic of their murderer and you can't get in to find out who..
They should do that to every person that is caught illegally in the USA and every person entering the USA on a VISA.
Entering the USA is not a right its a privileged and if you cross the border with 50 pounds of heroin or marijuana on your back then you should do time digging a trench on the southern boarder... then give up all possessions to fund your incarceration and then be deported with a face tattoo.
I think the USA should get a copy of that database for ID of illegals in the USA
We could save billions of dollars every year on text books which are written by a handful of people, produced by 3 major publishers and printed overseas.
The cost for New School Books is a serious expense Public Domain Book can cut that cost and they are already available from Government Repository Libraries.
The Federal Government has spent millions of dollars developing all types of educational books. The State Department has books that teach foreign languages, there are books on basic and advanced math, science and almost every subject available through the Department of Education.
There is no need to redesign books on math every year the only benefit is to publishers.
With the availability of tablets, laptops and home computers or even computer labs at colleges the education of students in most core studies does not need high costing books.
Teachers should review what is available then offer changes and additions as part of their job.
Unfortunately many teachers are incompetent and can only teach out of a book. They do not know their subject or their students.
People really want there to be space aliens but the fact is space travel is impossible.
The nearest closest planet that may MAY be able to support life is 45 thousand light years away.
That means if the human body which can not last more then 5 years in space because of bone loss was to make this trip you would have to do it at somewhere around 9,000 times the speed of light...
Now this is only to the very closest MAYBE planet but if you want to travel to planets farther away you are talking 2x 5x 10x the speed...
Now we all love startrek but warp 9,000 or 10,000 for 5 years or 10 year or warp 5MILLION what does it matter because there is not enough PROPELLENT in the earths ocean if we used all the H and O in the Water of all the oceans...
SPACE TRAVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE AND DONT START THE WORMHOLE BS OR DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL
GIVE IT UP! Mars is as good as we will ever get and that is just about impossible...
This is the problem the EU wants to ban all cookies so they can kill advertising run by Google.
Basically they want to kill google the same way they want to kill microsoft and its because they can't control the best companies in tech with their socialism
Without a cookie Advertisers can not be given views and click counts.
However banning all cookies means shopping carts and online web aps wont work anymore.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT THE BAN ARE STUPID
Its all about money to them and nothing to do about protecting kids.
You better bet that every ISP in europe and the world for that matter is using a transparent Squid Server that logs every dialup, cable modem, fios connection and they use that data along with their IP logs to link all useage to a specific home or connection...
They know every file you download... every site you visit... every torrent you connect to..
Its foolish to say cookies are harmful they are a technology that is required by many online applications and if the end user wants to they can always turn them off or block specific sites from placing a cookie in your cache.
They are not the same as malware.
Cookies are not Malware they can not enter your Operating System and send data to anyone.
What some people are paranoid about is Opening Google Webmail and then browsing porn sites or other not so nice sites....
Hey idiots WEB SERVERS HAVE ACCESS LOGS the sites you visit already know every file you touch on their site...
Not to mention routers and Squid servers used by your ISP can track all of your actions... and that has nothing to do with cookies.
You don't see a lot of Nigerian CC Theives pickpocketing cards
Credit Card Fraud is not due to Physically Stealing the Card. Maybe back in the 1960's when people were using 3 piece paper receipts that had to be run through a manual stamper this card could have made sense but it is a waste of time to try to protect accounts this way.
Does anyone remember TJMax had a few million card numbers stolen
There are about 20 big hacks where millions of card numbers were stolen.
In addition some people use their cards with un-reputable merchants
The idea of putting a password on your card is bogus when most thieves never need physical access to your card to steal from you...
And this does nothing about companies that release personal data about you and your account to their "AFFILIATES"
Or the fact that every college and High School sells your personal data to list companies.
THATS RIGHT... DIRECTLY FROM YOUR SCHOOL RECORDS
Name address, birth date, parents names and more
The card is one more level of stupid
however it may protect you from your kid ordering crap off tv.
This is the difference between Islam and Christianity and how weak we are..
Its like sympathizing with your captor as a hostage....
Everyone who is not a Muslim under their faith must die they are the only religion in modern times that practices this belief.
And you know whats really messed up in the koran they recognize Christ and Moses and in all three of our religions we all worship the same God.
Unlike mayor bloomberg who believes NYC must build a mosque at ground zero....
I DONT believe that... unless the terrorist win.. then the terrorist win.
If someone burnt a Koran in a muslim country they would be killed GET THAT KILLED and in the usa you burn a bible and we pray for your soul...
IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM!
THEY PRACTICE THINGS GOD IS NOT ABOUT
THEY ADDED TO THE BIBLE THEIR OWN BELIEFS
GOD WANTS US TO LOVE NOT KILL IN HIS NAME!
We will all have to answer to God one day.
BTW i am sure you can buy dialup from rackspace but ISP internet service provider... hosting is a service
thats really special they want to Biometric id a billion people Im sure that won't be used in anyway to reflect the cast system in india.... you know like those people with pay as you go instead of iPhones.
Im so glad America doesn't do any business in India can you imagine what would happen if they had access to all of our personal information?
The same thing is true in America. Kids even young adults can not write in cursive. They just had a study and the best teachers can get out of them is a mixture of printed and cursive lettering. And that study did not take into account the dropout rates.
So why are we complaining about deporting all the illegal aliens when so many kids don't graduate from high school.. They may not want to work in a hotel or swing a hammer but that is all they are fit to do. Most of them are not even fit to do that.
And no amount of money you throw at them will make a difference.
People dont understand the Equal Sign?
Well nothing is Equal in society so why should math be any different.
We have our first black president that calls his Grandmother a Typical White Racist and Holds Beer Parties at the Whitehouse to celebrate calling cops racist THEN CALLS TEAPARTY PATRIOTS RACISTS AS THEY ARE BEATEN ON VIDEO BY SEIU UNION THUGS HE CALLS HIS FAMILY
Your wife takes the kids, your money and makes you pay for her new life then tells your kids you are abusive because you caught her sleeping with your best friend's sister.
You apply for college and every minority and women who make up 51% and even illegal aliens get preferential treatment and lower tuition then you even though you test higher and work harder.
Government set asides of 15% or more in contracts give contracts to minorities and then you get screwed because they say they are already forced to use the other guys so they can't hire you for the rest of the work.
Illegal Aliens walk across the border with 50 pounds of Heroin and your son is in Afghanistan Fighting Taleban and instructed to not burn the poppy fields.
They want to attach a balloon to the end of a satellite to create drag to bring it in and have it burn up...
What about a net that could capture some of the crap up there as it increases drag it would sweep everything clean instead of just bringing in one satellite...
you could even inflate the tip of the net in a disk shape like the top of a balloon to expand the net open to catch stuff
I had to teach people how to make websites for about 5 years and the one thing I always suggested was to view the source on a webpage.
just find a word on the webpage near the thing you want to examine and view source then search for that word... but today you can install a plugin in FireFox like firebug and see more details.
As for php its the same deal.. find a code sample site and take a look..
That will get you interested especially if you like puzzles but then you need to take a weekend and browse a how to code php in 24hrs book just so you can understand things a little better...
After that when you see a function just google it and you are likely to get an explanation....
And if you want to see how the pros do it find an open source project that has a few years under it's belt and really take a look at how code is structured.
Talk to a million people and you will get a million different answers as to how helpful college is but taking to the next level and going the route of teach yourself online courses will really make you wonder if your money is well spent.
The first thing you have to understand is there are definite reasons that someone perusing a career must attend college. If your career requires a degree such as an Architect, Lawyer or Doctor. There is no question here that these careers require a degree but remember there are different levels of education that will put you in the same place as everyone else.
You can get your law degree from the University of Delaware located next to a mall or drive 25 miles north to the University of Pennsylvania where Donald Trump and a lot of other well known lawyers attended. So what is the difference? Well President Obama attended Harvard and supposedly he did well but he did not submit his GPA or degree to get elected it was his friends he met at college that made him President.
Now you can attend college online at Major Universities you get full credit just like you attended but you must attend the college for a year or so to complete your bachelors. This is not a bad deal and when I attended college I took a few Teach Yourself courses so I could Test Out of Math classes.
But if you attend a degree mill online program believe me every Human Resources Manager knows before you walk in the door that the college you attended provided you an education that is basically useless for the real world.
On the other hand you could attend Harvard and not be the popular one and never make it to be President... you may not even accomplish developing your own practice to be able to pay back the $200K you spent to have them hand you a piece of paper.. however you should be able to file the bankruptcy papers when you and your family are so far in debt you have lost everything.
There are a lot of choices and there are reasons to make them but you have to understand up front why you are making that decision.
Do you live in the middle of Wyoming with a family that needs you and you can't move or commute to college so Online is your only option? Then look for the best school and like I said LOTS of schools now allow you to take online courses... heck you can take courses at a few colleges to build up your credits for final graduation but you need to know which school you will graduate from and how many credits they will accept... usually the most transfer credits a school will accept is about half or 60% of the credits needed for a bachelors degree and Masters or Professional Degrees they accept less unless there is a hardship case which you have negotiated...
It takes a lot of work to get it done but it can be done... only attend accredited schools online that is the big thing. And the accreditation must come from the same organization that accredits the brick and mortar schools or your credits and degree is worth nothing....
Now with that said
You miss out on making connections when you work beside people day in and day out when you attend online so you will need to work much harder to find people you can count on.... you can do that online anyway but... it can be difficult to really count on anyone you meet online to back you up...
And finally no matter if you are attending online or in class you really need to understand what your degree can offer you. A degree in History, Art heck even computer science today... there are millions of qualified people looking for work.. Hell I am one of them.. or at least I am looking for better work and you have to say is it worth 4 or 6 or 8 years of your life to study something... will it put a roof over your head and food on the table? No matter what philosophical questions you may learn to answer with your degree... food in your kids mouth is always #1 and if you can make more money being a plumber or electrician then

THATS RIGHT
