right. long before. back when only one company in the uk was doing it with no internet, and everyone else was using a desk phone and rolodex, ledger and pen. it certainly wasn't the HOME (as opposed to business) computer - tied to the internet - that even made the term "computer literate" mean anything to the average person. you're a dolt.
agree with Cwix here. since when does morality have shit to do with driving laws? this isn't saudi arabia. it's not against the law to lie, cheat on your significant other, or be greedy. if you think smoking a joint makes you too immoral to even drive, then fuck it man nobody alive is moral enough to even live. so better yet, kill yourself. don't worry if it's against the law, if you do it right you'll get away with it.
jesus fucking christ! you smoke a joint and now you have to wait a month to drive a vehicle? when you're sober within hours? you are a moron, please exit the planet. for realsies.
ain't that the truth. we used to be the premier terrorist predators, but these damn kids with 4oz tubes of toothpaste at the airport are cutting in on the action. it's time to unionize NOW!
sure it does. that's what a fine means. if they really want to punish facebook for doing what it wants, they could go the chinese route and ask google to censor facebook out of their country. i'm sure google would be happy to oblige.
here in san diego activists got together and made it illegal for seaworld to pollute their own habitats with the fireworks show they do every night at 9pm. the punishment is a fine. instead of seaworld giving a fuck about their own animals, environment, and neighbors, they simply pay the fine as a cost of doing business and continue the fireworks shows so you clueless out of towners can see something you've never seen before...fireworks.
fines are not meant to discourage bad behavior, they're meant to skim the profits off the top of bad behavior. welcome to the real world.
phrases like "people will get much better services for the money" and "The Chinese motivation for doing things in an expert, professional manner" are clues that the speaker was being facetious. you bit hook, line and sinker. whoosh!!
they poisoned our baby formula, candy, toothpaste, pet food, etc.; sell us radioactive drywall; put lead in our baby toys; spy on us; shamelessly counterfeit all kinds of technologies and products; used google to censor and limit information; and now they want to run our phones?!?! FUCK NO!!
(didn't mention tiananmen square or tibet, since if that mattered to anyone we'd be doing something about it already)
You can't take money away from them, so the only possible disincentive is to not give them more money, which is why the bonus system exists in the first place.
sure you can. i believe you're missing the concept of fines and jail terms. all these bankers who took our bailout money and floated to the ground with it should be doing hard time behind bars. not the madoff-style retirement home sentence, i'm talking federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison where you're ducking between the skinheads and mike tyson just to survive. we have laws about reckless behavior that endanger the public that extend to cover homicide, and we need them to extend to banks as well. if that mid-2000s trend of putting people who can't afford subprime home loans into $200k+ houses were to fall under criminal negligence to the economy, we would have had less of these unscrupulous loan officers (sharks) abusing the stated/no-doc loan options -- or at least more of them in jail.
because it would allow police to track people beyond the existing limits of their surveillance across the lines drawn in the sand by warrants. say, for instance, i'm driving toward a large private estate. police can tail me there, but once on the property they could not follow without a warrant. however if they slipped a gps tracker on me, they could see where on the estate i drove to, as if they had accompanied me somewhere they would otherwise need a warrant to go. i haven't spent enough time thinking of more imaginative scenarios.
much easier to enforce wifi security on the very few and far between people who live next to prisons (within broadcast range even). there's a reason why they put prisons out in the middle of nowhere. quite a few reasons, actually. much more likely someone parks at the prison visitor center and generates a wifi hotspot from their phone.
btw, i'm totally buying your purchase history from visa so i can anticipate where to find you in public again. p.s. a car almost hit you last time you looked over your shoulder, be careful there, bud! look both ways first, and then behind you! geez, you're no use to me dead...
i can explain the phoenix laser events. they weren't laser pointers, they were laser sights for weapons. it's customary to show off the laser sight on your.45 by pointing it directly at a cockpit and brag to your friends about how you could take that sucker down, god bless america.
Obviously you've never listened to the idiots on 75 meters and 20 meter sideband
brilliant, watson.
Ham radio licenses are public record.
you assume i'm referring to ham radio licenses as the information required by warrants. i was actually referring to someone's purchase history (yes, i'm aware there are loopholes that prevent the need for a search warrant in some cases) that would point an investigator to believe someone was using a ham radio, and also spent time in the vicinity of target areas (like the hypothetical abortion clinic and library). off the top, i'd guess this would be a receipt trail. you may have bought ham radio equipment, subscribed to a hobbyist magazine, paid for a license, and also show quite a lot of activity in stores near a target location. you haven't done anything and yet you are suspect because of someone else's actions (someone who probably isn't licensed to use the ham radio).
Don't confuse government sharing, which is nearly total, and govt publicity which is also pretty wide open, with this new idea of advertiser sharing.
don't worry, i never did. based on your assumption i think you were confused. regardless of this little detour, don't confuse a safe disclosure of your financial behavior today as safe disclosure tomorrow. thinking that unbiased information about you can't be used against you is naive at best. anyone who thinks this sale of their purchase history is harmless is a mark.
btw, ever consider what it was like to be an american practicing islam in 2001? you haven't done anything wrong, you've been peaceful your whole life, and you wake up one day and the whole country is screaming for your blood because some idiots who associated themselves to you (not the other way around) took thousands of lives. so you think you're safe because you don't overtly practice your religion or throw it in people's faces, but now homeland security wants to send you to guantanamo bay because you bought a copy of the quran for a relative. how much worse would it have been during the red scare if mccarthy could have searched anyone's credit records and started rounding them up because they bought karl marx's book Capital?
i use gloves, monkeys, or robot hands to shred the paper and then you're done. meanwhile the guy whose system doesn't rely on fingerprints gets your $50k.

follow the Godwin Moore's Law. you can double javascript performance every 2 years, if you're a nazi.

terrorist predators who are taking our jobs?
ain't that the truth. we used to be the premier terrorist predators, but these damn kids with 4oz tubes of toothpaste at the airport are cutting in on the action. it's time to unionize NOW!
prisoners earn money in prison, just not enough for anyone to live on. good thing they have chow time and free cable tv.
sure it does. that's what a fine means. if they really want to punish facebook for doing what it wants, they could go the chinese route and ask google to censor facebook out of their country. i'm sure google would be happy to oblige.

the cost of using biometric facial recognition technology on facebook in germany is about 300k euros.

so carbonite gave the 3rd party a blacklist of email addresses who had opted out...
why not only provide a whitelist of email addresses who had opted in? security through obscurity, anyone?

OMG! The free market is a casino!
... well, the stock exchange is....
besides that, we all know life itself is one big gamble. to that effect, existence is a casino.
see? you racist, small-dicked paranoid conservatives think alike! imagine that!
