No. You only get diplomatic immunity after the host country accepts your credentials and the number of diplomats is strictly limited by each country having an equal number. Unless the host country accepts Snowden's "russian" credentials and russia pulls out a diplomat Snowden doesn't to wave a magic passport and get immunity.
No. One only becomes an "accredited diplomat" when the host country accepts him, generally entail an equal number on each side and are not lightly changed so unless anywhere Snowden accepts him as a diplomat with immunity, it gives him nothing.
I've been working in computer security from way back when Checkpoint was a startup.
Use of a password manager does not solve ALL computer security problems, but it does help to solve two major problems we have today: Poor passwords Password reuse
Coming up with different secure passwords for every site & then remembering them all and which goes where is beyond the reach of everyone without eidetic memory, thus the Dashlane advertisement is indeed useful. If Dashlane advertising their own manager irritates you, just go with another password manager.
Ah yup, you're right as far as it being for the antenna issue. Thanks for the correction.
Never saw much of a problem with the iPhone's antenna when holding it 'naked', personally. It took having really clammy hands and a grip like you were the creature from the black lagoon to lose enough signal for it to matter. Applying a bit of clear nail polish to an inch of the frame or any case were enough to never see it.
Funny enough for a company that never admits it has flaws, the back on my iPhone 4 got a little un clipped after a fall onto a wooden floor. It wasn't flush with the frame anymore as you could get a fingernail between the back and the frame. The problem was that this gap was enough to ruin all pictures taken with a flash as it reflected internally on the camera sensor.
I assume taking it apart and reseating the back would have been enough to fix the problem but when I took it in to Apple they took one look at it, asked if I had a backup and then swapped it for a new phone. As the Genius Bar tech moved my free bumper over to the new phone he said "As it's a new phone you can use the free bumper app to get another free one".
Oh, yeah, Apple never admits they have flaws all right...
If Apple never admits their flaws, then how come I got a Free bumper for my iPhone 4 years back when some were complaining that the glass back was too fragile?
Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner everyone! One of the Hillary true believers that still cannot believe that she is in any way at fault for the disaster that is unfurling upon us. Give it up bub, that even Trump was able to beat Hillary proves just how incredible your beliefs are.
Somebody else did it too is no excuse, especially when she could have owed up to using a private server and delivered everything she could to the FBI. No, Clinton had to try and fail to bury it erasing as much data as they could. She also stated that no secret emails ever transited the server which then exploded in her face when that was proven false.
Nixon wasn't booted out for Watergate. He was booted out for attempting to cover up Watergate.
Go ahead, investigate Powell, Rice & whoever else you want. They may lose their Top secret rating over it but only Clinton attempted and failed to cover it up.
Thanks so much for giving us the most unpopular Democratic nominee in living memory. What should have been a landslide win has become a complete fucking nightmare. Good job.
Here I'm with you 100% except that you need to widen the net.
Dear Media: Thank you so much for turning a relatively banal email screwup that had zero actual consequence into the biggest campaign scandal in decades and turning an otherwise likeable candidate into a pariah.
Eh, WHAT? Hillary Clinton likable? My personal theme this year was that Trump was the only power on earth strong enough to make me vote for Hillary. 8 years ago part of what got Obama elected was that he wasn't Hillary. The Hillary supporters have always thought that she's just misunderstood, everybody will come around eventually. The email server was her faullt. Covering it up and pretending that no secret Emails were sent/recieved on the server was also her fault. Hillary has been viscerally disliked for who she is for decades by many and her attempting to skate by pretending that the rules for everyone else don't apply to her now mean that we're all going to have to suffer through 4 years of Trump.
You feel it's nonsense. We define it as hate speech.
If you feel so strongly about how the U.S. interpretation of what should be free to say is the only justifiable one you're welcome to come to France and make inflammatory statements that are against our laws. Because you see, you don't make our laws and your opinion matters not. You'll still be going to jail.
Long term plans rarely play out & China's will only if their economy hit's no snags. An imploding real-estate bubble, the setback of their export based economy due to their rising costs, civil unrest due to their population demanding reforms, a second cultural revolution imposed by a communist party afraid of reforms, Space-X/Blue Origin undercutting China's launch costs by a magnitude or two, etc, all those and so many more can render those long range plans moot.
Oh but you have a magical crystal ball that can see into the future and can prove that the next 15 years will be a continuation of the last 15... So, how about predicting next month's Powerball numbers to prove how reliable your crystal ball is.
Your reference frame is spinning if you imagine that my position has budged.
Again, China cannot claim to be putting the U.S. in the back seat until they actually produce achievements beyond those the U.S. has. They've got a loooong way to go yet and that's assuming that Space-X & BO don't render Chinese objectives as obsolete as those of ULA/ESA.
There's also a difference between me planning to hit you in the face and me already having done so. Until I actually smack you in the pusser it hasn't happened yet.
To be fair, the Chinese are advancing on their agenda in Space. They're not to the point where they have overtaken either Russia's or the U.S.'s accomplishments but they're further along than they were.
There was never at any time a lack of available funds if we had cared to devote them to the space program. Our "fearless" leaders decided they wanted to prioritize other things but at no time was the actual ability of the US government to fund NASA in question.
I never stated that there was an absolute absence of funding but thanks for trying to put your words in my mouth. Every budget in the national budget competes with other budgets for votes. Social Security, Medicare, & Defense get the lions share & NASA is a tiny discretionary budget with almost no constituents. When faced with the economic shocks of the early 70s the constituents of the 3 main blocks dried up the "extra" funding that Nasa had hoped for.
If China's booming economy hits a snag like an imploding real-estate bubble, their claimed long-term plan for financing space exploration will wither away just like ours did.
I must have missed something because I don't remember any other nation ever physically putting a human on another piece of rock. When that happens the U.S. will be in the back seat, not before.

So you think that it's Tesla's fault that Android, the widest deployed smartphone OS is a POS security wise. Ohkaaayyy...
"That" being what?
So your thinking is that Tesla should up the price of all their cars by ~$1000 and include an iPhone with every car?
Just abandon Android as insecure?

Yeah! You gotta be able to jettison the warp coils in case reversing the polarity fails!

The U.S Constitution is not germane to a discussion on French laws.
France also has laws on the books condemning those who deny the Holocaust. Are you taking a stand against those too?

The U.S. didn't lack long term plans for space in the 60's but an economic wake-up call in 1973 rendered most of them financially unreachable.
If the real-estate bubble I keep hearing about in China implodes, well we'll see if the Chinese plans are just as unreachable.

LOL, Apologies.
The problem with plausibility here isn't with who but with why.
