I had this with my Gas Utility company. I can only see the last couple of digits of credit card. The worst someone could is pay my bill before I am ready, or see how much gas i am using. Why do I need to use a 16 character alphanumeric case sensitive password that requires multiple special characters. I work in IT and have to maintain strong passwords, even on government HIPAA systems, and the gas company is more stringent.
I have ended up setting up an auto-pay and have not touched the account in two years.
But if the overwhelming consensus is negative, how do they continue to gain new clients?
Because they actually have a good database product....
Yeah, it's called MySQL.
I have professional experience dealing with Oracle, both on Solaris and Linux, including Oracle RAC and working with MySQL Clusters. Oracle works well enough, but I would rather have MySQL.
Don't know about Coffee, but it does make a nice cup of tea or Hot Chocolate. For me it is a convenience factor of not having to wait for water to boil, then watch a tea bag so it is not over/under brewed. I pop in a pod and hit a button, then let the dog out, and come back to a nicely brewed cup of tea. If my dog takes a bit long, worse case I come back to a cup of tea at the perfect drinking temperature (which means I need to drink the tea fast before it gets too cold) as opposed to over brewed tea that is too bitter. My dad has one too and drinks Coffee, but instead of a pot a day, has 1-2 cups. He still grinds his own beans, but now can limit his intake without a lot of waste.
What about GPS? What about my phone's GPS? What is fundamentally different about reading a printed map and using Google maps? Why should one be allowed and the other prohibited?
You really need to check into this more. Right now it is a bit of an expensive investment, but several folks here in my Town have setup a net zero Solar system. They are still tied into the grid but the amount they sell back balances out the amount they use and they have electric cars. Some businesses are even on a net zero solar system.
I have a Chevy Volt and it costs about $0.50 cents usually, and maybe $1.44 if I completely drain the battery. I get about 32-34 miles on a complete charge in the winter. My electric bill is running about $12-$15 more a month. 16 kwh Solar power can handle that amount of electricity just fine.
I should also point out that in best case scenario, oil changes only need to be done every 2 years.
Yes! A standard library should b e just fine for an elementary school. Maybe have some computers which should run an educational linux system. http://www.linuxplanet.com/lin... has decent list. Don't bother with electronic gadgets like tablets and ebook readers, the kids will just break them.
Sentience. Primates have it. Dolphins have it. Whales probably do. Cephlapods might. I do not eat any of those, though truthfully I have tried calamari and find it gross tasting.
The right wingers are not really christian. Joseph Smith wrote some really nutty stuff, but the Church of LDS practices a far more christian faith than most bible thumpers.
I find very depressing that I have more in common with Pastafarians, LDS, and Pagans than I do with my fellow christians.
They have received much in the way of Federal subsidies to upgrade their infrastructure. If they are not going ot do that, then they should be paying it back with high interest.
Sure it will if we go Nuclear. Project Orion or Nuclear Thermal (ie Nuclear Light Bub). The Lightbulb gives you both a rocket engine and a power station.
It is called build up your damn infrastructure. Stop taking our money and using it to give the excutives bonuses, and start investing in infrastructure. They get gobs of tax breaks and straight up funding to build infrastructure.
Now they have the gall to complain about folks actually using the unlimited data plan they get sold, because they have not properly built up their infrastructure. Fuck them. Fuck them in the skull.
If I rot13 Chinese in the latin alphabet, and used that to keep notes in a diary, would I have to decrypt that for the police? Why is doing it on a computer any different?

Not when it is on their phone.

Why would there be garabage men? If there was still a need to haul trash away, the truck would be fully automated.
No, it is not. Unless the restaurant is closed for a private gathering it is a public place.
So while Google has to stop anti-competitive practices, they also have to make there web pages less useful. Brilliant.
In "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" he put the ideas of Pope Urban into the dialogue of Simplicio and thereby insulted the Pope.
Five minutes on Wikipedia would have answered your question.

Police can hold you without charging you for up to 24 hours.
Oh shut up, this is just as much stuff that matters as anything else posted to the site and perhaps more so than a lot of other things.
I most certainly do criticize slave owners. Just like I criticize Nazis involved in the interment camps. Just following orders is not an excuse.

Free Software folks have their reputation too, and often that is the only thing motivating them.
No, you are confusing the second admendment with the first. Though they do go hand in hand.
I think it goes for about $35 a bottle.

Skynet has to come into being somehow.
Could it be that those that use G+ don't allow ads/cookies/widgets et cetera to track them?
