Bu... But... it's..it's.. far *left* extremism. It's a completely different thing. When the right says "i want to beat you up and push your head in a bucket full of water until you drown" they actually mean "i want to beat you up and push your head in a bucket full of water until you drown".. but when the far left says "i want to beat you up and push your head in a bucket full of water until you drown" it's just their way of saying hello!... Before they.. um.. beat you up and push your head in a bucket full of water until you drown... They'll probably try to "readjust" you first by subjecting you to prime time slop and, or, 12 hours straight of Obama speeches all day.. just like the DPRK residents must suffer with "Glorious leader" all hours of the day. Everywhere. And it can't be turned off. A dream state for ultra left wingers!
I am just stunned that techies, who should hyave the capability of logical reasoning, really get nothing of the whoole climate change thing. So here's the grade school version, for the majority of/. readers that never finished it,. apparently. The WEATHER is what makews some winters really hot, and others record cold. The weather can change , but it is the severity of the weather that *Climate* change affec ts. The CLIMATE is tha major average over 10 to 100 year timesppans. It's perfectly normal to have a deadly heat spell in the weather for months or even a few years , even if the *climate* is cooling down. And the reverse, it's evtirely possible to have record setting colds winters while the climate shows increases in global temperatures. The statistics show, without any possibility of error, that the average temperature of ALL the planets in our solar system are increasing. The tempperature on earth is increasing faster, is all. There;s no question that all that pollution from factories, and methane from pig farms and billions of litres of cow flatulence, is making it worse. And no question that the oceans are warming, causing the methane in the sea floor to be released. So all that fresh water entering the ocean from higher global temps will stop the gulf stream, causing Europe and eastern US to go into a deep freeze, and then the albedo effect will make the rest of the planet go into a deep freeze. And THIS is data that has already been known since the late 60s! And next, the "pole shift" idiocy. Yes, the "poles" are moving at a faster rate than ever seen before. But it's NOT going to make england suddenly nice and tropical, nor will it "flood the coasts with mile high tidal waves" , something I read over and over. The pole that's moving is the MAGNETIC pole. And it isn't moving ANYTHING except compasses and GPS settings and airline markings. When the PHYSICAL poles do shift, you won''t be seeing a video about it by Begley . You'll probably be under a mile of water. And actually, the rapid crustal displacement theory doesn't suggest the poles themselves move, rather that the plates slide over the magma by almost 15.
No it's not just porn. Anfd it's not just russia. Basically every video download site . There's a lot of old movies (I love pre '66 movies!) that have gone public, but sleazy video distributers still download them and try to sell them, and if someone tries to post it on youtube, they file a notice, even tho they have no rights to it. The only alternative then becomes one of these doewnload sites like openload or others like it. Complete with virus message. Of course to can do a force quit, but the fact is it happns..a lot. One time I noticed several hundred additions to my history and didn;'t know what was causing it.. but now I know. Chrome will never patch it on my os becaus it's 5 years old and chrome deprecated it. I can't upgrade because my it's the last version my apps will run on. and I';m not ready to dish out several grand for up to date versions. No free update for mine.. i.e. photoshop... OK, eventually I will find out how to run OSX 10.6 in a seamless virtual window on OSX10.11, but haven't yet...then I'll simply sandbox it and usr 1.11 for the net. By which time chrome just might path the bug... maybe;-)
"May I call you Ludo, Ludo? There's good in everyone, Ludo...even the French" Hard to believe that 30 years ago this line was not only NOT censored by the BBC, but even was also one of France's most popular series. The Iron lady said it was her favorite series. Now? It would be "fomenting hate" This fu%^$g xenophobia and "political correctness" has got to stop. If someone from another culture does something wrong or illegal, we;ve got to be able to call them out on it, without being scared of stepping on their tender tootsies...
There seem to be two camps in the "deniers"... one is the bunch that claim that it isn't happening at all, that it's a hoax.. these are the noisy idiots that make anyone who takes issue with climate change to be all nuts.. and then, however, there's the second group.. who do NOT deny any of the data or that climate change is , in fact, occurring, but take issue only with the claim that it is entirely due to man made influence. This group , rightly, points out that ALL the planetary bodies in our solar system have had an increase of the same percent, despite the fact that we do NOT inhabit these planets. We, however, are brushed off along with the kooks and crazies without having our evidence being given fair consideration.
This is disturbing, since if something OTHER than mankind is causing a solar system wide change , perhaps this deserves serious attention. Y'think?
I have two routers. Ones a Zytel provided by the phone company and then I also have one of the russian make one (TP / Archer).
How would I know if they are part of the botnet?
Pretty simple. If they still have their default passwords they're almost surely part of it. Just change the password to a good strong one, and you should instantly be off the botnet. At least that seems to me the right approach..+
The Clinton camp wants war with Russia.. although God knows why. And if they can't get it by hook, they'll get it by crook. Making bogus accusationns re hacking is required before they can retaliate. The whole thing is a fraud from the beginning. Russia doesn't give a F*%K about the DNC. It's only American arrogance to think the rest of the world is watching every move, and to see when Killary does another face plant into the sidewalk.. Well, OK , maybe they ARE waiting to see that..
No, not really. Because it wasn't funny, except to someone with a particularly lame sense of humor.. Nor was it interesting. Or informative. Or anything at all.
Logically if this is a simmulation then one would guess that the players controlled by external overlords would be the most powerful sims. that is to say movie stars or Tech billionaires or Trump like dictators.
Thus your highest calling if you and under-sim is to go be a groupy to one of the "real" players.
So it's a little strange to hear the Real players asking to be broken out of the Simulation. Something is fishy here.
"simulated" fishy. Actually, am I to understand that simulated billionairs with simulated money are asking simulated scientists to use simulated technology to break us out odf a computer simulation? Am I even commenting on a real/. or a simulated one?
Yeah.. I don't see Trump being able to effect much, if any at all, change. The rot is spread far too deep, and if, once elected, he ever becomes too much of a pest for the rotters in the "shadow government", they WILL find a way to get rid of him. Even if it's not very pretty. The truth is, that in John Titor's timeline, the government had become so corrupt and dictatorial that all out civil war (Real war!) was the only way out. And it DID go nuclear. Interestingly enough, he was emphatic about not saying what color or sex the president was.. which could either indicate that BHO stayed in via martial law, or killary won despite everything. I think Titor should have been taken a whole lot more seriously, if only because of his surprise at the twin towers still standing. This was in1999, ande the only time he let things slip, as he was usually VERY careful about not polluting our timeline. His timeline just occurred 15 years earlier than ours, is all...
Yeah, as someone born in the 80s, I hate being lumped in with the jobless slobs from the mid-late 90s
What? You don't have a skateboard with you at all times?.. IS millenial the term for those 26 year olds who still walk around with their skateboards and even take them into their job interviews?? Or are they Gen X'rs. I don't know who's who anymore ! Me , I'm just a "late boomer"..
I have to agree.. until people's bloody fridges become just a touch more intelligent. Nobody needs a fridge that will accept instructions from Chechnya or Nigeria. Internet protocols are woefully obsolete. WHy aspoofing hasn't been completely eradicated is beyound me, and I don't wan't my fooking dishwasher to be able to relay dDos action. Period.This is all Boolsheet. A disastrous overlooked concern that should have been a priority for dealing with, a decade ago. Instead, everybody's spent all their time drooling over the latest smart frikkin this and smart that. So maybe security ain't glamorous. Deal with it, and get on the train. NOW!
I did read the submission carefully, but nowhere did it say the PC could no longer be wiped clean and reinstalled, implying that the hardware was fine. Or was "bricked" just used in the title as clickbait? Sorry to be pedantic, but we're all supposed to be geeks here on/. and yet NOBODY pointed out the inaccurate use of the word.
Well. he's NOT a lawyer, a judge, an md or a member of city council. He's a tech guy. So he used the tools he had to fight back with. End of story. Although.. maybe , instead, he should have gone directly after the offending MD and, you know, cancelled his credit card, membership at the golf club, had a repossess on hiis BMW..;-)
What makes it so horrible, and how would anyone even know that since firsthand experience would, by definition, kill you? Wouldn't it be the same as drowning? Which is, by all accounts, a very pleasant experience. And I get that rats are kind of cute (to some people) when you've got ONE in a cage, and that they domesticate well, (amazingly enough, they really do!) , but if you've got a rat problem , like I have, the cuteness thing wears a little thin. They will completely destroy your place, chew up your plumbing trying to get water, and chew up all your electrical wiring , creating a terrible fire hazard. If rats don't chew ALL the time their teeth grow at a fantastic rate, so they have to chew, And they will chew ANYTHING even tubes of toxic ointment, with impunity. And NOTHING kills them, They eat rat poison for breakfast and ask for seconds. The dry ice method is one I'd try if I could get at them, but they're in the walls of my trailer. I've been using lysol spray so they can't smell the tracks to get asround, and certain members of the mint family are supposed to be very effective at repelling them. Any one know a GOOD repellant that always works? No, ultrasound doesn't, unfortunately. I need them GONE!
Yeah. If he wasn't a hardened criminal before (and he wasn't, of course), he will be after he gets out of a high security prison. He'll be forced to hang around ruthless violent criminals and malicious types for years straight, and when he finally gets out, he'll have a record that will prevent him from ever obtaining most any decent job (because this is America - we don't believe in rehabilitation anymore).
There's a reason prison is sometimes called "con college".
..and he'll never pick up another bar of soap again in his life!
When every succeeding generation is playing with less of a deck than the predecessor then what else could one expect? Make stupid people, people will use things for stupid reasons.
At the rate grammar is collapsing (not to mention spelling) each succeeding generation will be so increasingly stupid that eventually they will no longer be able to write, probably saving us all from horribly misspelt and worded words and phrases. Not to mention unreadable comments and articles. Even (especially) in/.
You just know 13-year old boys are going to use this to look at the magazines in plastic wrappers.
Well, at least that's more believable than the bullshit cover story of using this to catalog ancient textbooks.
This will be used and abused as a spy tool, first and foremost. It's practically inevitable. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this technology disappears from headlines as quickly as it appeared.
...And disappears from MIT;-) And from public memory.....Hey, what were we just talking about? Something to do with... books.. radios? I can't seem to remember.. Must not have been important then..!
Perhaps.. but it's hardly "breaking news" either. In fact it HAS been shown years ago now that the moon can *trigger* earthquakes during full and new moons. Land tides are hardly a newly discovered phenomenom . So a study that says the moon has an impact on the size of quakes is simply another stiudy to bolster evidence of the moons influence. But.....:yawn: When we have that nasty EQ here in the pacific NW maybe I'll look up at the moon..while the tsunami wipes out everything lower than 300 feet...:-(
This is incredibly wasteful. We know that bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance and that it's a big problem. Why would you help bacteria develop more antibiotic resistance, especially for a video? This is an asinine waste of antibiotics and contributes to the danger of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
OK, maybe you saw the original snarky submission title "Submission: Scientists create invincible super bacteria in order to make a cool video": I'm sure the actual presentation title is a bit more realistic.. "WATCH: Bacteria Invade Antibiotics And Transform Into Superbugs". And it wasn't wasted. The article comes out with some surprising conclusions, such as, it being discovered that previously impossible studying of bacterial progress was now possible with the 4 foot petri dish, and the even more surprising discovery that the faster growing non-resistant bacteria choke off the superbugs, which is very useful knowledge.. It wasn't done "just" to make a video.. it's just mr snarky's submission byline that implies such.. WHen will people Ever grow up, I wonder?
