Really sad that they failed. Everybody's scared of Erdogan.. and now that he's going o order dozens of summary executions fo this attemnpt he's essentially got the power of a dictator. Bye Bye to demokratiko Turkey!
He's also a dick. Lots of journalists visit these sites to report on what they find. If they couldn't then absolutely nobody except , say, the CIA, would haver the slightest idea what's going on. Oh rats. That's the whole idea, I think... What worries me is some other retard will introduce and maybe even pass this as a bill.. fattened with the appropriate pork, of course. I want to go back to the free and easy days of Orwell's 1984!
Up here in the Great White North it appears to be legal to robocall folks that the voting location has changed when it hasn't, or that the day is wrong etc etc on behalf of the ruling gov't. At least they make a noise in the beginning (after the election!) and slowly the whole thing is forgotten. US could learn a thing or two about successful corruption from us here! Not sure how well the boy that's the current PM will work out..
Or Chairman Mao, or the Queen and the Kaiser etc etc etc.... why be so closed minded ?
IT is funny that a Republican in Missouri used a picture of Mao Zedong to try and imply that his Democratic opponent was supporting Chinese partners.. which is ridiculous because Mao Zedong has been dead since 1976. Someone somewhere has been trying to rewrite history for too long and needs to check what decade they are in!
He may be dead, but his legacy lives on. And on. And on...
What makes you think that Russia is different from the USA? Just 'cause they have it doesn't mean you get it.
To me it looks like 6 of one and a half a dozen of the other. For all intents and purposes Russia is enacting precisely the same legislation as the USA. And that's hardly surprising. International "harmonization" of their legal codes is a key goal of the NWO... It needs to be so before they "blend" all the countries into their great monster country.. then there would be no point in trying to escape a tyrannical regime as there would be nowhere to go.
Next they will censor "hate". That would include such things as pro-Trump sites based on the headlines the MSM constantly putting forth. An awesome tool for controlling the minds of the masses.
It's not censorship. It's "content filtering". You're entirely permitted to re-enable the most disgusting slime if you should so desire. It's just that it' filtered "be default" . And it damn well SHOULD be. Censorship[ is en entirely different issue, and is a much bigger concern, as it generally is applied by corrupt democracies and totalitarian regimes alike. I'm sure that, just like the Americas, the UK, already does quite a bit of it, and the social networks do it as a matter of practice. And it's hard to tell as you never get to see what's being hidden...
What leaks do you need? If what Comey said wasn't enough nothing will satisfy you. He said she's a total fuckwit but her last name is Clinton so his hands are tied.
Well, besides, it'd be more difficult to select her for president if she was facing charges. However, they may still go with the backup plan if she still proves to be too much trouble. Which is a 3 term president instead. "They" have all their bases covered. Even right down to a "wild card" that is really totally part of their group. Or should I say a "Trump card" ?
That still doesn't make the casino's fault. The gambler is only person to hold responsible, regardless who his "victims" are.
That's right. It's not the crack dealer's fault. They're just poor misunderstood victims, who ought to have support groups to deal with the terrible abuse heaped upon them from everybody for creating addicts....Instead, the blame lies solely with the addict. It's not like they're, you know, addicted. Right?
I think previously time always went in every direction all at once. Pretty sure that was already proven, too, by Timothy Leary... Oh,, with Owsley's help:-)
I'm a little unclear how a pear shaped nucleus (or a spherical one, for that matter) coexists with a flat universe, however...
Well, hey, that is PRECISELY what I do as well. I just don't have time for these *painfully slow to get to the point* interviewees who keep tripping over their tongues in those show dormats, and often documentaries are tedious as well. Movies, however, I totally enjoy at the correct speed. The exception is those 40s Bogey and Bacall films like the "Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca", which they always broadcast sped (speeded?) up.. and for the longest time I always assumed they just talked that fast.. Until the remastered versions of these old classics came out. Colorized, even... Initially I rather liked these new (old) colorized and slowed down versions becauseI could finally understand what Peter Lorre was saying:-) and could make out the scenery even..Since then I've reverted to preferring the old B&W version as I like that old "film noir" effect - and it just don't feel right without the sped up "can I kill him now?" line;-)
Indeed. The NY Times has a few articles about this and an Op-Ed titled Brexit and Europe’s Angry Old Men mentioning a poll over there indicating the older the person, the more likely they were inclined to leave the EU:
That's because the older ones can remember what Britain was like before EU compliance turned GB unto a financial and political armed camp. Unfortunately, now, the damage is done, and the younger ones understand the damage that leaving would do...
Yes, but this isn't just any old web petition. This one was implemented by the House of Commons, and is capable of demonstrating that enough people were either ill informed, or complety ignorant of the whole thing until after the votes were cast, Clueless, in fact, just as the OP stated.. Typical citizens behavor, in fact. Bet you if they hold another the result would be waay different this time.....
I wouldn't be so quick to assign sociopolitical labels to which group favors eroding privacy rights. There are plenty of so-called conservatives (judges, legislators, etc.) who would happily erode 4th amendment and other rights. I am reminded of Ronald Reagan arguing in favor of the admissibility of illegally-obtained evidence, and more recently of provisions in the PATRIOT Act that are objectionable to civil libertarians like ACLU members.
It's worth noting that civil liberty groups like the ACLU are largely socially progressive. And they are generally the ones who say, "Get a goddamned warrant." They're also the ones who hold that the same rules are supposed to apply to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Agreed, of course.. naturally, you are correct.. but I have observed a flip flop in how people generally assign tendancies. 30 years ago it was always without a doubt the democrats that were credited with favoring privacy rights, and conservatives who were accused of wanton violation of same. It was just an inaccurate generaliszation then as now, but when did things change?
As long as we introduce drug testing for these "persons". Just a *whiff* of fusel oil or WD40 and they get kicked out on their asses.. er.. sorry... rear inputs!
...If the recording and telecommunications industries also had input into a successor, I might buy into it.....
If a cordless headphone system such as you mention that didn't colour the sound throughout all volume levels in any way existed I also would also look closely. Perhaps as a musician/audio engineer this seems an odd thing to say, or perhaps it's *because* of my experience as one, but I just passionately HATE cables;-) My dream stage/studio setup would be a completely transparent wireless setup.....
The 3.5mm is a miniaturized version of the 6.35mm audio jack which was originally introduced for telephone switchboards in 1878. It is the oldest existing electrical standard in use. Given its age and longevity, pretty much the entire audio industry has developed around this standard. Replacing it would require replacing every piece of electronic audio equipment produced over the last 140 years, from audio jacks in cars and airplanes to laptops,camcorders, as well as phones. It takes a lot of arrogance from Apple to think they can upend a widespread and ubiquitous standard that has withstood the test of time, and force every single audio equipment to use a connector to connect with an iphone.
The entire audio industry? Maybe the consumer end, but we've been using balanced 3 prong connectors in the pro music industry for just YEARS... Occasionally someone who hasn't suffered a cord accidentally pull out just once too often will still will use them, but most musicians have even converted their instruments to the balanced connectors. And phone plugs are ALWAYS breaking at the most inopportune times
This is why I don't store files on 3rd party servers. Because I run my own server, I can be sure that nothing like this will ever happen and that nobody has access to my stuff unless I want them to.
I'm glad I have actual friends and so was never suckered into the whole "social" media thing.
Yeah.. I have trouble understanding why people buy, sell, trade "likes" y'know, from places that promise to get you tons of them etc. In the real world, instead of Zuckerworld, people buy and sell items of actual value. But what the hell value doe a "like" have? I heard recently about one of your American candidates buying tens of thousands (could have been hundreds of thousands, I don't recall) of "likes" and I say, whatever for?
...That said, piracy has hit the movie industry so hard they had yet another record year in revenue...
Good point.. And you could say the same with the banks.. the economy is in so much trouble that the bankls, again, had record profits...
Seems to me, something just DOESN'T add up here... really......
I forgot to mention that, as best as I could tell, it didn't even really "write" anything. The lines were already written.. at least that's how it appeared at the beginning of the film when they showed what they fed it. Given it was a screenplay, the AI likely wrote linking direction and actors suggestions ("wearing puzzled look" "Rises out of chair" etc) but for the rest it's like it simply shuffled the entered dialog like a pack of cards..
I... don't know what you're talking about:-) Frankly, it felt like I was watching three people who had sniffed too much gasoline fumes, I don't think any screenwriters have to worry about losing their jobs.. not yet,. anyways. And "hilarious and intense" ? Sure the summary wasn't also written by an AI? Think I'll stay with British comedy instead!

He is his father's son.
Oh, That is so not good...

That may be, but it didn't appear to be the case here. You're still going by "macs4all" and going level 12 fanboy in your posts.
He may want to change that as well. I hear that the new OS is *not* going to run on all Macs. It appears to be a case of "Macs4Some" ;-)

Yup, this.
Also: Putin's trying to keep up with the JonesesUncleSams's .
Also: In Soviet Russia, people are starting "In Capitalist USA, ..." jokes.
